Dialogues

King Mongkut: I have never danced with a schoolteacher before.

Anna Leonowens: Nor I with a king.

Prince Chulalongkorn: Son of teacher forgets that I am son of King.

Louis Leonowens: Son of teacher couldn't care less.

Anna Leonowens: Louis.

Louis Leonowens: I'm sorry Mother, but he started it.

Prince Chulalongkorn: In my country, man never tell a woman he is sorry. If you had father, you would know this.

Louis Leonowens: You don't have a father, you have a map.

[Louis pushes the prince.]

Prince Chulalongkorn: It is forbidden to touch royalty.

Louis Leonowens: I didn't touch you — I shoved you. Why don't you get one of your servants to shove me back?

Louis: Moonshee, why does the king have so many wives?

Moonshee: That is an excellent question — For your mother.

Characters

Prince Chulalongkorn: It is always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments. Most often they're over before they start even though they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable.
King Mongkut: When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.
Louis Leonowens: Mother, what's a concubine?
Anna Leonowens: Life is precious, especially when you're a Christian and only allowed one.
