Quotes 

• Tomas : Prince or no prince, I've a good mind to take you over my knee and give you the whipping you deserve.

  Prince Wenceslas : Too old and too late.

  [Tomas punches Wenceslas in the jaw] 

• Princess Johanna : Well, if you're the prince's groom, you must know him well. What sort of a man is he? You can tell me; it'll go no further, I swear. Is he well favored?

  Prince Wenceslas : Oh, not at all. This horse is prettier.

  Princess Johanna : Why do you stare so? You are impertinent.

  Prince Wenceslas : Between ourselves, my lady, the prince is no match for one as fine as you. You have eyes that could melt the coldest heart.

  Princess Johanna : And now you mock me?

  Prince Wenceslas : No. No, not I.

  Princess Johanna : 'Eyes that could melt the coldest heart'? That's from some verse, I'm sure of it. I believe you were told to say these things to me by your master.

  Prince Wenceslas : Not the prince, my lady. He's very course in his ways.

  Princess Johanna : They told me he could read Latin.

  Prince Wenceslas : He can't read. He's cross-eyed.

• Brother Paul : I learned from the people what happened. One of her majesty's barons came at night and struck Father Joseph with his sword. A giant of a man, they told me. Then his men destroyed the chapel. The people fled into the forest.

  Prince Wenceslas : This giant, did he speak?

  Brother Paul : Forgive me, sire.

  Prince Wenceslas : You can tell me.

  Brother Paul : He spoke only once and briefly. As he raised his sword he shouted, 'This is done in the name of Wenceslas.'

• Prince Wenceslas : She seems to me altogether remarkable.

  Tomas : I'd rather face a wild boar.

• Prince Wenceslas : We must endure the betrothal feast together. But you have nothing to fear from my step-mother while I am by your side. She is not all she seems, you know. Her true nature is sly and scheming.

  Princess Johanna : Then she is exactly what she seems.
