Quotes 

• Queen's Emissary : Why exactly do you find the monarchy endearing?

  Fred Ballinger : Well, because it's so vulnerable. You eliminate one person. And all of a sudden. The whole world changes. Like in a marriage.

• Queen's Emissary : Her majesty the queen would be *honored* to confer a knighthood upon you this coming June.

  Fred Ballinger : Good.

  Queen's Emissary : Her majesty the queen will be *de*-lighted to learn you have accepted.

  Fred Ballinger : Her majesty the queen has never been *de*-lighted at anything.

• [first lines] 

  Fred Ballinger : You can't smoke here.

  Queen's Emissary : What, even outside?

  Fred Ballinger : Not even inside.

  Queen's Emissary : Uh, well Pardon me, Mr. Ballinger. Or may I call you Maestro?
