• King Shahdov : I'm in no mood for dinner parties.

  Ambassador Jaume : Ah, your majesty, the Queen's departure has upset you.

  King Shahdov : To part is to die a little.

• Ambassador Jaume : Would you like some lunch, sir?

  King Shahdov : Oh, something simple. Caviar, toast and onions.

  Butler : Caviar?

  King Shahdov : Yes. A large size tin of it - and chop the onions - very fine. Same for you, Jaume?

  Ambassador Jaume : Thank you, Your Majesty, I'll take a ham sandwich and a glass of beer.

  King Shahdov : Oh, and some vodka - on ice.

• Ann Kay - TV Specialist : We're in! We got it rolling! Shell Oil, Imperial Tobacco, Lipton Tea - they're all hot. You can write your own ticket.

  King Shahdov : I - I don't understand?

  Ann Kay - TV Specialist : Neither does anyone! But, it's a sensation! A smash hit! Everyone's talking about it.

  Ambassador Jaume : Talking about what?

  Ann Kay - TV Specialist : The broadcast! It's the biggest laugh on television. They all think that it was deliberate. The sponsor thinks its the most original idea he's ever had. They're going to give it another nationwide hook-up!

  King Shahdov : Hiccup?

• Ambassador Jaume : I have an idea. You wear my hat. I'll wear your's. He'll follow me and think I'm you. And that'll give you a chance to get away.

  King Shahdov : Now, wait a moment. I'm all confused. Who am I?

  Ambassador Jaume : You're me and I'm you. We just exchange hats.
