The King and I - 1956

- So many English books l read introduce strange idea...
...of love, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

+You disapprove?

- But it is a silly complication of a pleasant simplicity.
   A woman is designed for pleasing man. That is all.
   A man is designed to be pleased by many women.

+ How do you explain the fact, Your Majesty...
    ...that many men remain faithful to one wife?

- They are sick.

+ But you do expect women to be faithful.

-Naturally.

+Well, why naturally?

- Because it is natural.
   lt is like old Siamese rhyme:

   A girl must be like a blossom
   With honey for just one man
   A man must live like honey bee
   And gather all he can

   To fly from blossom to blossom
   A honey bee must be free
   But blossom must not ever fly
   From bee to bee to bee

+ Oh, Your Majesty, in my country we have a far different attitude.
    We believe that for a man to be truly happy...
    ...he must love one woman and one woman only.

- This idea was invented by woman.

+ But it's a beautiful idea, Your Majesty.
    ln England, we're brought up with it.

At first, I thought they handed me the wrong dossier.

Henry & June - 1990

- There are 66 ways in which to make love.
+ Oh? Really?
- They will show you love in a taxi.
   Love when one of the partners is sleepy.
   Love in the street.
   Et cetera, et cetera.

Now, presenting your royal highness, the illustrious blah, blah, blah.
