Fanny Brice: Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?"
Nick Arnstein: Really?

Archduke Rudolf: In this family that could not have been meant as a joke. Not in this family. Never.
Archduke Rudolf: I've tried travel, I've tried politics, gambling, drink, I don't fancy young men. So, what's left?
Emperor Franz-Josef: Rudolph, what is this wall between us?
Archduke Rudolf: You should know, you built it. You tear it down, Father.
Prince of Wales: Incidentally, why are there always red carpets?
Archduke Rudolf: Stations make great places for assassinations. On the red carpet, the blood doesn't show.
