Jimmy Dobson : Oh, things.
Princess Veronica : Things?
Jimmy Dobson : Well, men. I'm sorry to say, that we can't be trusted.

Princess Veronica , Jimmy Dobson : [singing] While strolling through the park one day, in the merry, merry month of May. I was taken by surprise, by a pair of roguish eyes,
Jimmy Dobson : [singing] While strolling through the park one day.
Princess Veronica : How was I?
Jimmy Dobson : Well, baby, you're terrific.

Princess Veronica : Now, when you kiss a lady's hand, don't be so athletic about it - or, so noisy! Don't snatch it up as if it were cake and you were going to bite it. The lips are brought to the hand - and not the hand to the lips. Remember that, next time.
Jimmy Dobson : Yes, your Highness. Could next time, be now?
Princess Veronica : Very well. But, remember, don't snatch - and don't smack! Now, crisply. And slowly.
[Jimmy's lips remain on her hand]
Princess Veronica : But, not too slowly.

Princess Veronica : There's nothing wrong with me, really.
Jimmy Dobson : Are you sure?
Princess Veronica : You see, well, the Budapest was Hungary and the Cairo got Madrid and wouldn't Lisbon. So, the Balkans couldn't Bucharest and that's what made Naples truer than Cologne.
Jimmy Dobson : Oh. Oh, I see.
Princess Veronica : You do?
Jimmy Dobson : Oh, of Corsica.
-
Jimmy Dobson : It's going to be a beautiful night, too. At least, that's my frank opinion.
Princess Veronica : Mine too.

Princess Veronica : For what?
Jimmy Dobson : For going somewhere and doing something.
Princess Veronica : Oh, you want to step out tonight? Is that it?
Jimmy Dobson : Yeah! That's it. That certainly is it.
Princess Veronica : Well, then, step.

Jimmy Dobson : After you, Toots!
-
Jimmy Dobson : Don't mind Albert, he's harmless. He's just a bit babe-whacky, that's all.
Princess Veronica : He's what?
Jimmy Dobson : Dame dizzy! You know, he's got nights on his mind.
Princess Veronica : Knights? On his mind?
Jimmy Dobson : Well, he likes tomatoes.
Princess Veronica : They're good for him.
Jimmy Dobson : Not the kind Albert likes. Say, you're a foreigner, aren't you.
Princess Veronica : Yes.
Jimmy Dobson : Well, now, look Toots, I'll explain it to you. Over here, we have two kinds of tomatoes. One is the vegetable. The other is you.
Princess Veronica : Me? I am a tomato?
Jimmy Dobson : Oh, Grade A and extra fancy.
