• Daisy : [watching FDR and Eleanor, voice over]  People said their marriage was troubled and unhappy. That they lived mostly separate lives. But I never saw that. That's not how they seemed when they were together.

• Daisy : [after the king eats a hot dog, voice over]  And like that, we felt America and England were back on the road to being *very* good friends. At least, I'm told that's how some people took it.

• Daisy : [while expressing her uncertainty whether the moon is full]  It's just such an important night.
