Duchess Anna of Elberfield:
You're a very fortunate young lady, Miss Ellis.
Miss Dorothy Ellis: And a very nervous one. You see, I've never met royalty before. I don't think I'll know how to act. We haven't any royalty in America.
Count Humbert Evel Bruger: Well, I don't want to tell you how to run your country, but that is a mistake. A smart, well-dressed royalty--awfully good for the tourist trade.
Miss Dorothy Ellis: Well, we're getting along...
Count Humbert Evel Bruger: Oh, well...mmm-hmm...well, of course, if you're satisfied just to be 'getting along'!
