Roman Holiday Movie Quotes
Princess Ann
I have to leave you now. I'm going to that corner there and turn. You must stay in the car and drive away. Promise not to watch me go beyond the corner. Just drive away and leave me as I leave you.
Joe Bradley
All right.
Princess Ann
I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't think of any words.
Joe Bradley
Don't try.

Reporter
And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations?
Princess Ann
I have every faith in it... as I have faith in relations between people.
Joe Bradley
May I say, speaking for my own... press service: we believe Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified.
Princess Ann
I am so glad to hear you say it.
Another reporter
Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?
General Provno
[prompting] Each, in its own way...
Princess Ann
Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to - Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.

Princess Ann
I hate this nightgown. I hate all my nightgowns, and I hate all my underwear too.
Countess
My dear, you have lovely things.
Princess Ann
But I'm not two hundred years old. Why can't I sleep in pajamas?
Countess
Pajamas?
Princess Ann
Just the top part. Did you know that there are people who sleep with absolutely nothing on at all?
Countess
I rejoice to say I do not.

[the General mentions Princess Ann's duty]

Your Excellency, I trust you will not find it necessary to use that word again. Were I not completely aware of my duty to my family and to my country, I would not have come back tonight... or indeed ever again!

Joe Bradley
How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?
Mr. Hennessey
Are you referring to Her Highness?
Joe Bradley
I'm not referring to Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame... How much?
Mr. Hennessey
What do you care? You've got about as much chance...
Joe Bradley
I know, but if I did? How much would it be worth?
Mr. Hennessey
Oh, just a plain talk on world issues, it would probably be worth two hundred and fifty. Her views on clothes, of course, would be worth a lot more, maybe a thousand... dollars.
Joe Bradley
I'm talking about her views on everything!... The private and secret longings of a Princess. Her innermost thoughts as revealed to your own correspondent in a private, personal, exclusive interview.
[His boss' mouth drops, awe-struck by the thought]
Joe Bradley
Can't use it, huh? I didn't think you'd like it.
Mr. Hennessey
Come here! Love angle too, I suppose.
Joe Bradley
Practically all love angle.
Mr. Hennessey
With pictures.
Joe Bradley
Could be. How much?
Mr. Hennessey
That particular story will be worth five grand to any news service...
Joe Bradley
...You said five grand? I want you to shake on that.

Joe Bradley
*Why*. What's your hurry? There's lots of time.
Princess Ann
No, there isn't, and I've been quite enough trouble to you as it is.
Joe Bradley
Trouble?... You're not what I'd call trouble.

I'll run a bath for you.

Mr. Hennessey
In view of the fact that our Highness was taken violently ill at three o'clock this morning, put to bed with a high fever, and has ordered all her appointments for the day cancelled in toto...
Joe Bradley
That's certainly pretty hard to swallow.
Mr. Hennessey
In view of the fact that you just left her, of course.

News announcer
Paramount News brings you a special coverage of Princess Ann's visit to London, the first stop on her much-publicized goodwill tour of European capitals. She gets a royal welcome from the British, as thousands cheer the gracious young member of one of Europe's oldest ruling families. After three days of continuous activity and a visit to Buckingham Palace, Ann flew to Amsterdam, where Her Royal Highness dedicated the new international aid building and christened an ocean liner, then went to Paris, where she attended many official functions designed to cement trade relations between her country and the Western European nation. And so to Rome, the Eternal City, where the princess' visit was marked by a spectacular military parade highlighted by the band of the crack Bersaglieri regiment. The smiling young princess showed no sign of the strain of the week's continuous public appearances, and at her country's embassy that evening, a formal reception and ball in her honor was given by her country's ambassador to Italy.
