• King : The ceremony, when must it take place?

  Minister : As soon as the preparations allow.

  Sapsorrow : Then first find me a dress of the palest silk, the colour of the moon. I will not wed 'til I have it.

  Minister : Very well, we will find this dress.

  The Storyteller : The princess in her woe plans a plan and schemes a scheme. To find such a gown will take time and meantime, you must all help me.

• Sapsorrow : This gown is for the wedding feast. The first one for the procession. Now I must have one for the church. Gold it should be, gold as the sun. Bring me such a dress, and... the next day we shall wed.

• Prince : What's that look?

  Sapsorrow : It's a look. If there was a tax on looking, we'd all be beggars... Sire.

• Sapsorrow : I'm sorry, do I disgust you?

  Prince : You amaze me. Look, cats chase mice, hens lay eggs.

  Sapsorrow : And what does that mean?

  Prince : It means some things have to do with other things. I have nothing to do with you. You don't disgust me because I don't think about you.

• Prince : [shouting after her as she runs away]  Where do you live? How may I find you?

  Sapsorrow : I live where hens catch mice and cats lay eggs.

  Prince : What?
