I'm sure that Edward is already searching for me. No doubt by morning he'll come and rescue me from this strange land. Take me home so that the two of us can share a true love's kiss.

[to Morgan about Giselle] Just because she has on a funny dress doesn't mean she's a princess. She's a seriously confused woman who's fallen into our laps.

I know what it's like when someone disappoints you. It's tempting to see things the way you wish they were instead of how they are.

Giselle: You see, I've been wandering very far and long tonight, and I'm afraid nobody has been very nice to me.
Robert:
[cynically] Yeah, well, welcome to New York.
Giselle:
[sincerely] Thank you!
Robert:
[looks at her strangely] You sure you're okay?
Giselle: Yes.
Robert: Would you like me to call someone for you?
Giselle: Well, I don't think they would hear you from here.

Giselle: Now, if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night.
Robert Philip: What kind of place?
Giselle: I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree.
Robert Philip: A hollow tree?
Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable.

[Nancy jumps to conclusions after seeing Giselle in Robert and Morgan's apartment.]
Robert:
[to Nancy] Can't we just talk about this?
Nancy:
[angrily] Talk about what, Robert? How I
never stay the night because we both agreed that Morgan's here and you have to set some boundaries. And I thought, "I'm so lucky, he's sensitive." I didn't realize you were worried about crowd control!
[starts to storm out]
Robert: What... what about the grown-up girl bonding time with you and Morgan? About you bringing her to school.
Nancy: What, so you can have your own grown-up girl bonding time? I don't think so!

Giselle: [after Robert knocks on the bathroom door] Hello?
Robert Phillip: Okay, you know what? You gotta go. Look, I don't know what your deal is, if you're waiting around for Prince Charming or you're just...?
Giselle: Prince Edward.
Robert Phillip: Whatever. Look, I'll get you to a bus, a train, a plane, a whatever, then, that's it. After that, I can't... I can't get involved after that.
[Giselle emerges from the bathroom in a bright blue-and-pink dress] Where did you get that?
Giselle: I made it. Do you like it?
[Robert notices dress-shaped holes in his curtains and looks quite shocked] You're unhappy.
Robert Phillip: [angrily] You made a dress out of my curtains?!
Giselle: Oh, you are unhappy!

[Pip tries to warn Edward about the plot that Nathaniel and Narissa have against Giselle]
Prince Edward: Go ahead, Pip. What is it you want to say?
Pip in New York: [clears his throat, squeaks] You with me.
[rubs "hands" together and points accusingly at Nathaniel to indicate that he's a traitor]
Prince Edward: Nathaniel?
Pip in New York: [squeaking] Uh-huh. Nathaniel.
Prince Edward: Nathaniel's glad to have me near?
Pip in New York: [squeaking] No-no-no-no-no!
[imitates Nathaniel and then scurries to a soda cup and imitates the conversation Nathaniel had with Narissa through the boiling pot, including making the three poisoned apples appear] Broop, broop, broop.
[takes a piece of ice as if it were an apple. Imitates Nathaniel again] Giselle.
[imitates Giselle singing "True Love's Kiss"]
Prince Edward: Oh, I know this one.
Pip in New York: [as Nathaniel] Apple?
[as Giselle] No, thank you.
[as Nathaniel] It's good.

Sam: She has no driver's license, no passport, I can't even find this place she comes from.
Robert Phillip: What place?
Sam: Andalusia.
Robert Phillip: Andalasia.
Sam: Whatever. I've called every travel agent, every airline. I'm not sure if it's a country or a city.
Robert Phillip: It can't be a state.
[Both watch Giselle acting strangely]
Sam: More like a state of mind.
[mimicking Giselle] And she told me it's just beyond the meadows of joy and the valley of contentment.

[They hear Edward laughing in triumph, and turn to see him riding on the roof of an MTA New York City Transit bus, under the delusion that it is a steel beast]
Prince Edward: You've met your match, you foul bellowing beast!
[He takes his sword and stabs it through the roof of the bus, the blade also ripping open an old lady's birdseed bag in the process. The driver stops the bus]
Bus Driver: Everybody stay on the bus.
Prince Edward: Giselle? My love?
Pip in New York: Giselle?
Prince Edward: Right.
[addresses the passengers] The steel beast is dead, peasants! I've set you all free!

right now!

Nathaniel: Madam, allow me...
Prince Edward: Nathaniel, old friend!
Nathaniel: Sire, may I suggest that you, uh...
Bus Driver: You?! A friend of his?! Crazy tight-wearin'... Come here and mess up my route?!
[Pip jumps onto her forehead and mimics her attitude] I'll tear you both apart!
[Nathaniel eyes Pip] Don't you roll your eyes at me!
[Nathaniel points at Pip, causing the driver to look up] A RAT! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!
[She goes berserk and tries to get Pip off of her]

Robert Phillip: [regarding Morgan] I know she's shy. I know she doesn't have very many friends. I just want her to be strong, you know? To be able to face the world for what it is. That's why I don't encourage the fairy tales. I don't want to set her up to believe in this "dreams come true" nonsense.
Giselle: But dreams do come true. And maybe something wonderful will happen.
Robert Phillip: Yeah, well, I forgot who I was talking to.
Giselle: Well, I hope you don't forget. I like talking to you.
[Nathaniel, disguised as a waiter and speaking with a very absurd French accent, sets down a martini at Giselle's place setting]
Nathaniel (as French waiter): For the nice lady. From a secret admirer.
Giselle: Oh!
Robert: A secret admirer? How come people keep giving you free stuff?
Giselle: What is it?
Nathaniel (as French waiter): It's an apple martini, miss!
Giselle: Oh, apple mar... ooh! It looks yummy.
Robert: Yeah, be careful, it's poisonous.
[Nathaniel growls at him]
Giselle: You're joking.
Robert: Yeah. No, they'll creep up on you, though. I'd be really careful.
Giselle: Well, I'll just have one sip.

Queen Narissa: Nathaniel, back to the car.
Nathaniel: I will not. You poisoned her.

Prince Edward:
[to Narissa; shocked] You did this?
Nathaniel: She sent the girl here! She poisoned her! With my help I... I regret to say.
Queen Narissa: Oh, he's lying, darling. Why would I ally myself with that buffoon? I mean, think about. Why would I-?
Prince Edward: Silence! You lying, murderous wretch. When we return home, all of Andalasia shall know of your treachery. Your days as Queen will be over.
Queen Narissa: Take my crown? Don't you think that's a bit melodramatic, dear?
Prince Edward: I don't know what "melodramatic" means. But you will be removed from the throne forever. I will see to it, Narissa.

killed everyone? And poor defenseless Queen Narissa, she just couldn't save them!
