Anna and the King

Anna and the King (1999)

• King Mongkut: I have never danced with a schoolteacher before.
  Anna Leonowens: Nor I with a king.

• Prince Chulalongkorn: It is always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments. Most often they're over before they start even though they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable.

• King Mongkut: When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.

• Louis Leonowens: Mother, what's a concubine?

• Anna Leonowens: Life is precious, especially when you're a Christian and only allowed one.

• Prince Chulalongkorn: Son of teacher forgets that I am son of King.
  Louis Leonowens: Son of teacher couldn't care less.
  Anna Leonowens: Louis.
  Louis Leonowens: I'm sorry Mother, but he started it.
  Prince Chulalongkorn: In my country, man never tell a woman he is sorry. If you had father, you would know this.
  Louis Leonowens: You don't have a father, you have a map.
  Louis pushes the prince
  Prince Chulalongkorn: It is forbidden to touch royalty.
  Louis Leonowens: I didn't touch you- I shoved you. Why don't you get one of your servants to shove me back?

• Louis: Moonshee, why does the king have so many wives?
  Moonshee: That is an excellent question--For your mother.
