Quotes 

• Prince Rainier : My family, my country has known conflict, and we've chosen to reject it, because that is not the future of Europe, gentlemen. The future is business for the sake of business. Not for the sake of government - and certainly not for the sake of de Gaulle's empire. If you value your liberty, then you, too, should understand that all tyranny needs to gain a foot hold is for men of conscience to remain silent.

• Prince Rainier : Look.

  Prince Rainier : That's a fantasy. That's a fairytale, Grace, it's not real life. And it's not real love. Real love is, is obligation. At some point every fairytale must end. But you mustn't do this for your father, or for me. You must do it for yourself, Rai, and the children.

• Prince Rainier : You want us to pay tax to France?

  Emile Pelletier : This is a French protectorate, which has only ever existed because of French good will.

  Prince Rainier : This is a sovereign national.

  Emile Pelletier : My peers in Paris are not as understanding as I am. I am to return tomorrow with your full acceptance. So please work with me, your Highness.

  Prince Rainier : [approaching him]  Does de Gaulle really want the children of Monaco to grow up to be croupiers?

  Emile Pelletier : Some would say that would be an improvement. Some of Monaco's children are running around like their mother, the offspring of a Philadelphia bricklayer.

  Prince Rainier : [slaps him hard] 

• Francis Tucker : Rai, come along, just talk to the woman. You're nothing but silent and angry.

  Prince Rainier : I don't know how, I don't know how to speak to her. You know I've never been good at this sort of thing.

  Francis Tucker : She's your wife.

  Prince Rainier : Well, that was your idea.
