Disclaimer: I don't own them, dammit.
Still dialogue only. Hur-rah.
"What are you really doing here, Joe?"
"Well, I'm a reporter working for his American newspaper to get an article about everybody's favorite monarch."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"No...ulterior motive?"
"None whatsoever."
"Thank you."
"You've changed, Ann."
"I've grown my hair back out, if that's what you mean."
"Not quite. You've just...changed since I last saw you."
"That's what people do. They change."
"That's it. Right there. You weren't so...so quippy."
"Is that a word?"
"Well yes, it's an American word that means a—"
"Person with a great deal of charm."
"That's a ringer."
"I do own a dictionary."
"So you do."
"What were you going to ask me?"
"I don't suppose questions on trade relations would interest you."
"I've been giving the same answers for five years. I've no idea why they would change."
"I thought not."
"Aren't you going to write anything down?"
"Should I?"
"I've never been a writer, I wouldn't know."
"You needn't be so snippy."
"I'm not being snippy."
"How's queening?"
"It is the most horrible thing you could ever imagine."
"I have a very good imagination."
"More horrid than that."
"But your people depend on you."
"That is why I am here 'queening,' to use your horribly made up word."
"You like that word, admit it. Do you think you'll be a good queen?"
"What makes a queen good is judged by the standards of the time. I cannot tell the future."
"That is the most diplomatic answer I have ever heard."
"You probably heard the least diplomatic answer ever from me, too."
"You're right, I probably did. I think you'll make an excellent queen."
"You are an incorrigible liar."
"I'm not lying."
"There you go again."
"Ann?"
"Yes?"
"Is Rome still your favorite city?"
Significantly shorter than the previous one, but then next one is important, and I wanted to end it with that question.
