Daisy:
"[after the king eats a hot dog; v/o] ⋯and like that: we felt America and England were back on the road to being very good friends⋯ at least. I'm told that's how some people took it."
Daisy:
"[while expressing her uncertainty whether the moon is full] It's just such an important night."
Zack (Hungry Driver #3):
"Is it? I don't know - What's one king more or less? He still has to put his pants on one leg at a time."
Daisy:
"[first] Back then: This is years ago. I couldn't afford secrets; I just had chores. As a child growing up, we had been rich. And then: Well⋯ We weren't. ⋯and like most people during the Depression, I now lived each day as it came no longer expecting anything. Waiting⋯ for nothing. and then⋯"
Bertie:
"I suppose an angel just passed, a very clumsy one."
Elanor:
"We must remind ourselves that these kings and queens or whatever are no better than us. They are just people."
Daisy:
"People said their marriage was troubled and unhappy. That they lived mostly separate lives. But I never saw that. That's not how they seemed when they were together."
F.D.R.:
"We think they see all our flaws. But, that's not what they are looking to find when they look to us."
Daisy:
"Back then - this is years ago - I couldn't afford secrets. I just had chores. As a child growing up, we had been rich. And then, well, we weren't. And like most people during the Depression, I now lived each day as it came no longer expecting anything. Waiting. For nothing. And then..."
Daisy:
"In a time, not so very long ago, when the world still allowed itself secrets, Franklin Roosevelt was mine."
Bertie:
"But, to answer your question, Elizabeth, I *am* going to eat a hot dog - five hot dogs - TEN!... I'M GOING TO SHOVE THEM IN MY MOUTH, STICK TWO UP MY NOSTRILS, TWO MORE IN MY EARS, AND WALK AROUND SO THAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE PICTURES OF THE KING OF ENGLAND WITH HOT DOGS HANGING OUT OF HIS ORIFICES!"
