Prince Wenceslas
- Tomas: Prince or no prince, I've a good mind to take you over my knee and give you the whipping you deserve.
- Prince Wenceslas: Too old and too late.
- [Tomas punches Wenceslas in the jaw]
- Princess Johanna: Well, if you're the prince's groom, you must know him well. What sort of a man is he? You can tell me; it'll go no further, I swear. Is he well favored?
- Prince Wenceslas: Oh, not at all. This horse is prettier.
- Princess Johanna: Why do you stare so? You are impertinent.
- Prince Wenceslas: Between ourselves, my lady, the prince is no match for one as fine as you. You have eyes that could melt the coldest heart.
- Princess Johanna: And now you mock me?
- Prince Wenceslas: No. No, not I.
- Princess Johanna: 'Eyes that could melt the coldest heart'? That's from some verse, I'm sure of it. I believe you were told to say these things to me by your master.
- Prince Wenceslas: Not the prince, my lady. He's very course in his ways.
- Princess Johanna: They told me he could read Latin.
- Prince Wenceslas: He can't read. He's cross-eyed.
- Brother Paul: I learned from the people what happened. One of her majesty's barons came at night and struck Father Joseph with his sword. A giant of a man, they told me. Then his men destroyed the chapel. The people fled into the forest.
- Prince Wenceslas: This giant, did he speak?
- Brother Paul: Forgive me, sire.
- Prince Wenceslas: You can tell me.
- Brother Paul: He spoke only once and briefly. As he raised his sword he shouted, 'This is done in the name of Wenceslas.'
- Prince Wenceslas: We must endure the betrothal feast together. But you have nothing to fear from my step-mother while I am by your side. She is not all she seems, you know. Her true nature is sly and scheming.
- Princess Johanna: Then she is exactly what she seems.
