Alex: OK, here’s what we’re gonna do.
Henry: Yes, tell me.
Alex: You’re gonna stay at least 500 feet away from me for the rest of the night.
Henry: Sensible plan.
Alex: I’m not done.
Henry: Of course you’re not.
Alex: Then at midnight, you’re gonna come to my room on the second floor of the residence, where I’m going to do some very bad things to you.

Henry: Please be patient with me, and I promise I will try and be brave for us. Because when they write the history of my life, I want it to include you and my love for you.
Alex: History, huh? Bet we could make some.

Alex: There’s something I’ve been dying to ask you.
Henry: Which other famous boys have I shagged?
Alex: There’s two things I’ve been dying to ask you.
Henry: All right, let’s start with the first.
Alex: Do you have a last name?
Henry: Actually, I have several. The official family name is Hanover-Stuart. My father’s surname was Fox. So my full name is Henry George Edward James Hanover-Stuart Fox.
Alex: And I thought Alexander Gabriel was a mouthful.
Henry: He is.

Zahra: You can hate Henry all you want, but the minute you see a camera, you better act like the sun shines out of his ass and you have a vitamin D deficiency.
Alex: You know…
Zahra: And there is no getting out of this!
Alex: Oh, yeah? What if I set myself on fire?
Zahra: We’d ship the ashes to Heathrow.

Ellen: Darling, you’ve done some pretty stupid things in your day, but this…
Alex: Takes the cake?
Ellen: You hear that, Zahra? He’s opening with a joke.
Zahra: Maybe he can host the Correspondents’ Dinner next year.
Alex: Oh, I’d be down.
Zahra: No.

Henry: It’s all so silly, isn’t? The idea of royalty in the 21st century, it’s-it’s so… antiquated. Sometimes I wonder if what we do has any meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Beatrice: Do you love him?
Henry: What difference would it make if I did?
