Quotes 

• King Friday XIII : I just thought it would be lovely to have a bubble balcony here at the Castle.

  Handyman Negri : You mean, have a bubble that would cover the entire balcony and have it stay there?

  King Friday XIII : That's correct. Wouldn't it be lovely?

  Handyman Negri : I don't know. What ever gave you that idea?

  King Friday XIII : Oh, I heard a story in which a king got inside a bubble. I think that would be amusing.

  Handyman Negri : But that story is just pretend, King Friday.

  King Friday XIII : Well, so are we, Handyman Negri.

  Handyman Negri : So we are, and we should be able to make a bubble that will last.

  King Friday XIII : Exactly.

• Audrey Paulifficate : Is this what you wanted?

  King Friday XIII : What is that?

  Audrey Paulifficate : It's bologna. Isn't that what you wanted?

  King Friday XIII : It most certainly is not. As a king, I never indulge in bologna.

  Audrey Paulifficate : But I heard that you wanted a bologna on the balcony.

  King Friday XIII : Not at all.

  Handyman Negri : There must be some mistake. The king wants a big *bubble* for the balcony.

  Audrey Paulifficate : Oh, a bubble. How lovely.

• Handyman Negri : What would you like to be in the opera?

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : A hummingbird.

  Handyman Negri : Oh, that should be nice.

  Handyman Negri : [sings]  I'm a ruby-throated hummingbird.
