Royal Dressing Room Scene (Your Majesties)
[QUEEN CONSTANTINA, spoken]
I have the chef and the steward outside waiting to report their plans for the dinner. Come in gentlemen

[CHEF]
Your majesties

[STEWARD]
Your majesties

[CHEF]
A list of the bare necessities

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
A list of the bare necessities for what?

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
For seventeen hundred guests

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
That seems a lot

Don't have any chicken king

[STEWARD]
Very well your majesty
[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
I hate to see that written on a menu
"Chicken king"
Seems like a criticism of my courage

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
A thousand baby lobsters for the salad

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
Wow

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
And five hundred pheasant for the pie

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
Aiii

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
A thousand pounds of caviar

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
A thousand?

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
Hush
[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
That's more than the sturgeon can supply

[CHEF]
I told the steward to get us
Forty acres of lettuce
And six hundred suckling pigs for roasting

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
What about the marshmallows?

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
Who wants marshmallows?

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
I do

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
Why?

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
For toasting

[STEWARD]
Now if you please
Your majesties
I have a list of wine
The best of all
The vintages
From every nation's vine
[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
I want the wine of my country

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
Hush my dear

[KING MAXIMILLIAN]
I want the wine of my country
I want the wine of my country
I want the wine of my country
The wine of my country is beer

[QUEEN CONSTANTINA]
Obviously
