Quotes 

• Fergus Boyd : [knocks and opens Prince William's University bedroom door]  Am I disturbing?

  Prince William : [gladly picks up a glass of water]  In so many ways.

  Fergus Boyd : [enters the room and closes the door behind him]  I come with good news, then more good news and even better news. A little bit of bad news. What's first?

  Prince William : The good news.

  Fergus Boyd : Kate Middleton... and you notice I pause here for dramatic effect...

  Prince William : Go on.

  Fergus Boyd : ...is *single* again!

  Prince William : [adjusting his sitting position]  That *is* good news.

  Fergus Boyd : The more good news, she's modelling in some university fashion show *this* evening... and I happen to know the people organizing it.

  [Fergus sits on one of the arms of a chair] 

  Fergus Boyd : And the even *better* news is, I've been assured that the tone of the show is... risqué. As in racy. And outrageous!

  Prince William : [very pleased]  Yeah, I know what risqué means.

• [at the fashion show, Kate walks over to table Prince William is standing by, having a drink] 

  Kate Middleton : [referring to Williams's Protection Officer]  Does he always stare at you like that?

  Prince William : [gladly]  Only when he wants to kill me.

  [Kate giggles] 

  Prince William : Which, for someone paid to keep me alive, is more often than you'd think.

  [Kate nods] 

  Prince William : [complimenting]  That was quite the outfit earlier.

  Kate Middleton : [interested]  Did you like it?

  Prince William : *Like?*

  [pause] 

  Prince William : [complimenting]  You looked incredible.

  [Kate smiles] 

  Kate Middleton : [gladly insisting]  I just felt like doing something *drastic*. To know... one way or another...

  Prince William : [fascinated]  What?

  Kate Middleton : [simply]  If you were interested.

  [Protection Officer's phone rings and he answers it] 

  Prince William : Really? If I was interested?

  Kate Middleton : [gladly]  Yes.

  Prince William : [honest]  Of *course* I'm interested. I thought you *weren't* interested. I thought I'd blown it that day in the library.

  Kate Middleton : [happily]  And I'd started to worry we'd drifted into the dreaded friend zone.

  Prince William : [gladly]  Oh no. I'd hate that.

  Kate Middleton : [pleased]  So would I.

  Prince William : [honest]  I've *always* been interested.

  Kate Middleton : [pleased]  Really?

  Prince William : [gladly]  Bordering on obsessed.

  [they both chuckle] 

  Prince William : [honest and true]  To the point where I thought if I couldn't be with *you*...

  [pause] 

  Prince William : [honest and true]  ... I'd sooner not be here at all.

  [Kate and William affectionately stare at each other and share their first kiss]
