Kitty Riley : Now that you mention it, he is. Very handsome.

Crystal Radek : Heads will roll. What does that mean?
Kitty Riley : Oh, it's just and expression.
Crystal Radek : But, they have some funny customs in Marshovia. Heads will roll.
Kitty Riley : Oh, don't be silly. They stopped chopping heads off 200 years ago.
Crystal Radek : They're awfully backward in Marshovia.

Crystal Radek : For the first time he stood on his own two feet and spoke out like a man.
Marshovian Ambassador : Forgive him, madam, he's no diplomat.
Crystal Radek : Diplomat? It never occurred to you two that you cannot tell anyone whom to love and whom to hate. And you are the biggest idiots in the diplomatic service!
