When I've accomplished what I set out to do, I'll stand before the queen not kneel, mind you, but stand like an equal and she'll say: "Please accept the Order of the Garter as a mark of my esteem, cousin."
She'll pin it on me herself.
It's big. I tell you, it's big!
And I tell you, you need a physic!
I'm fair disappointed in you.
You, who followed me and helped make me what I am.
Followed you, me? Who had hold of the mule's tail, tell me that?
The jenny also done her bit.
Danny! We've had this rare streak of luck. Let's quit winners for once.
- Cut and run while the running's good.
- You call it luck. I call it destiny.
Ha, ha! Pardon me while I fall down laughing.
Whatever you may think and however you may feel, I'm a king and you're a subject!
So don't you provoke me, Peachy Carnehan!
Or you'll do what?
You've got me trembling in my boots here! What'll you do?
- You have permission to bugger off!
- I will, with or without your bleeding permission!
And may you rot in hell, Daniel Dravot!
From Sikander the First to the Second was a long time between kings and a country needs a king like a king needs a crown.
One is the glory of the other.
Therefore, I shall leave a son behind who will in turn beget other sons so the succession will be unbroken and kings will be guaranteed forever.
