Matthew Broderick: Prince Henry

Quotes 

• Stepmother : She's just Cinderella. She's nothing but a nothing.

  Prince Henry : As they say, madam, it takes one to know one.

• Cinderella : Do you know anything about kissing?

  Prince Henry : Yes. I'm almost certain it has something to do with the lips.

• Prince Henry : I don't even know her name.

  King : You don't even know her name? What have you been calling her all this while, "Hey, you"?

• [referring to the glass slipper] 

  Prince Henry : It's a perfect fit. I've found my princess.

  Cinderella : Thank you, I've been looking for that everywhere.

  [takes out the other slipper] 

  Arlene : She cheated!

• King : What a beautiful lady. Well, are you going to introduce me?

  Prince Henry : We're dancing, Father.

  King : So? I'm the king, introduce me.

  Cinderella : I've heard so much about you.

  Prince Henry : Can you come back again later? Please?

  King : All right... No need to get huffy.

• Cinderella : I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

  Prince Henry : That's all right. In fact, it's quite refreshing. I get tired of being recognized all the time. Of course, it's hard to stay anonymous when your face is on all the money.

• King : Say you'll marry the girl who fits this slipper.

  Prince Henry : Oh, that's a wonderful idea!

  King : Of course. I'm the king.

• Bertha : That's such a gorgeous dress! Where did you have it made?

  Cinderella : Oh, it's just something I poofed together.

  Prince Henry : Poofed?

  Cinderella : Did I say poofed? Oh, I meant put together.

• Royal Adviser : My feet are killing me.

  Prince Henry : And their feet are killing me. If I see one more fallen arch I'll scream.

• Cinderella : But Fairy Godmother, isn't it a little cruel to turn them into rabbits?

  Fairy Godmother : They'll be back to normal at midnight.

  Prince Henry : Midnight? Midnight! Then that explains...

  Fairy Godmother : Not only handsome, but smart.

• [holding Cinderella's glass slipper] 

  Prince Henry : One thing's for certain - she has incredibly tiny feet.

  King : That's it. You issue a proclamation. You say, "Whatsoever it slippereth..." Say, "Whomsoever..." Say, "You'll marry the girl whose foot fits this glass slipper."

  Prince Henry : Yes! That's a terrific idea!

  King : Well, of course. That's why I'm king.
