Good King Wenceslas (1994 TV Movie)

Charlotte Chatton: Princess Johanna

Quotes 

• Duke Phillip : You might even try to smile a little.

  Princess Johanna : It's enough that I'm here.

• 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.

• Princess Johanna : You were right, sire. The horse is prettier.

• 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.
