Quotes 

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Amelia, you look so... young.

  Mia : Thank you. And you look so...

  [long pause] 

  Mia : ... clean.

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : You are princess of Genovia.

  Mia : Me, a princess?

  [shouts] 

  Mia : Shut up!

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : I beg your pardon, "Shut up"?

  Consulate Maitre'D : Oh, your majesty, in America, it doesn't always mean to be quiet. Here it could mean "Wow, gee whiz, golly wolly"...

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Where is she going?

  Helen Thermopolis : The tower.

  [getting up from the table and going after Mia] 

  Helen Thermopolis : Mia, You can't run from everything!

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : She has a tower?

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Goodbye, trolley people!

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : [teaching Mia to walk like a princess]  We don't slump like this!

  [slumps past the doorway] 

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Helen, if Amelia refuses to accept the throne, then Genovia will cease to exist as we know it.

  Helen Thermopolis : So the future of your country is in the hands of my 15-year-old?

• Helen Thermopolis : This is getting us nowhere! Talk to me!

  Mia : I can't talk to you right now; I'm late for a meeting with my guidance counselor.

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : I'm late for a meeting with Spain and *Portugal*!

• Helen Thermopolis : Mia, the-the three of us have to talk.

  Mia : Oh, OK. Um, is there maybe something else about me and my life that just maybe I might want to know about? Um-oh no, are you two waiting to take me on a talk show somewhere and to let me know I have a twin sister who's a duchess?

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : You have a cousin who's a contessa. Fondly known as Bartholomew. Actually, we call him Pookie.

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Do we have any problems?

  Charlotte Kutaway : [overly enthusiastically]  No, everything's perfect. Perfect. It's wonderful.

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : You're not very good at lying, Charlotte.

  Charlotte Kutaway : No, I'm not, your Majesty.

• Mia : Now, what did you want to tell me?

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : Something that, I think, will have a very big impact upon your life.

  Mia : I already have braces.

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : No, it's bigger than orthodontia.

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : So, where are you taking me?

  Mia : Well, uh, do you have any change?

  Queen Clarisse Renaldi : No. It's not appropriate for royalty to jingle.

  Mia : Okay, I'll get the change.

• Queen Clarisse Renaldi : [after Mia, Prime Minister Motaz, and Sheila Motaz make a scene from eating the ice cream too quickly]  Have you ever experienced that *instant* headache when you eat ice too quickly?

  Emperor Sakamoto : [briefly shakes his head]  No.
