• [the King is dying] 

  Prince Charming : Father, don't go.

  King : I must.

  [pause] 

  King : You needn't be alone. Take a bride. The Princess Chelina. What if I commanded you to do so?

  Prince Charming : I love and respect you, but I will not. I believe that we need not look outside of our borders for strength or guidance. What we need is right before us, and we need only have courage and be kind to see it.

  King : Just so. You've become your own man. Good. And perhaps, in the little time left to me, I can become the father you deserve. You must not marry for advantage. You must marry for love. Find that girl. Find her. The one they're all talking about. The forgetful one...

  Prince Charming : Who loses her shoes.

  King : [laughs]  Loses her shoes...

  [the Prince laughs, and cries too] 

  King : Be cheerful, boy.

  Prince Charming : Thank you, Father.

  King : I love you, Kit.

  Prince Charming : I love you, Father.

• Prince Charming : Well, how is he?

  King's Doctor : Your Majesty...

  King : Never mind. If it takes that long to work out a way to say it, I already know.

• Master Phineus : Master Phineus, master of the paintbrush, patiently awaits.

  King : Make him look marriageable, Master Phineus. We must attract a suitable bride, even if he won't listen to a word I say.

  Master Phineus : I shall endeavor to please, Your Majesty. But I can't work miracles.

• King : You sound as if you're the first fellow ever to meet a pretty girl.

  Prince Charming : She wasn't a "pretty girl." Well, she was a pretty girl, but there was so much more to her.

  King : How much more? You've only met her once. How could you know anything about her?

  Prince Charming : You told me you knew right away when you met Mother.

  King : Yeah, that's different. Your mother was a princess.

  Prince Charming : You would have loved her anyway.

  King : I would never have seen her, because it wouldn't have been appropriate. And my father would have told me what I'm telling you, and I would have listened.

  Prince Charming : No, you wouldn't.

  King : Yes, I would.

  Prince Charming : No, you wouldn't.

  King : I would.

  Prince Charming : You wouldn't.

  King : You're right.
