Quotes
-
King Friday XIII : About what were we speaking, Niece Aberlin?
Lady Aberlin : We were speaking about invisible things, Uncle Friday.
King Friday XIII : Oh yes, invisible means not seen.
Lady Aberlin : Sort of like a secret.
King Friday XIII : Exactly. Well, I happen to have an invisible announcement.
Lady Aberlin : You do? Where is it?
King Friday XIII : Uh, kindly ask for a fanfare.
Lady Aberlin : Fanfare for the king, please.
[a fanfare plays, followed by 10 seconds of silence]
Lady Aberlin : [stares at King Friday] Well?
King Friday XIII : I have made my announcement.
Lady Aberlin : I didn't hear anything.
King Friday XIII : My announcement is not only invisible, it is inaudible.
Lady Aberlin : Inaudible, too?
King Friday XIII : Not heard.
Lady Aberlin : Well, if it's not seen and it's not heard, how do we know what your announcement is?
King Friday XIII : You may guess.
Lady Aberlin : [chuckles] But it could be almost anything.
King Friday XIII : Exactly. Kindly guess.
Lady Aberlin : Oh, honestly, Uncle Friday. Uh, let me see. Um, you've decided that everyone in the Neighborhood has to ride bicycles all the time.
King Friday XIII : Not correct. Guess again.
Lady Aberlin : Uh, you've decided that you're going to have a large statue of yourself placed on top of the Eiffel Tower.
King Friday XIII : Oh, that's a lovely idea, but that's not what my announcement is.
Lady Aberlin : Well, what is your announcement then.
King Friday XIII : My announcement is... a secret.
Lady Aberlin : A secret?
King Friday XIII : Exactly. And when I'm ready to tell it, I will write it so it will be visible, and I will read it aloud so it will be audible.
Lady Aberlin : And then, it won't be a secret anymore.
King Friday XIII : You are correct. It will be Queen... oh, I nearly told you.
Lady Aberlin : Something to do with Aunt Sara, I'll bet.
King Friday XIII : You'll see.
Lady Aberlin : And hear.
King Friday XIII : As time goes on.

Lady Aberlin : How can I help you?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Don't tell a soul, but a certain Aber neighbor and I are going to be married.
Lady Aberlin : Charles R. Aber?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Shh, I don't want anybody to hear you.
Lady Aberlin : Uh, Lady Elaine?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Mm-hmm.
Lady Aberlin : [quietly] Are you sure you're going to marry Charles R. Aber, associate mayor of Westwood?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : He gave me a ring.
Lady Aberlin : Where is it.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : It's inside my Museum. I don't want anybody to see it yet.
Lady Aberlin : I can hardly believe it.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Isn't it wonderful?
Lady Aberlin : Ha.
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : In fact, he even suggested we start a secret museum somewhere. Maybe, we'll build it in... uh, Westwood.
Lady Aberlin : A secret museum?
Lady Elaine Fairchilde : To hold everybody's secrets. I love secrets, don't you?

Ana Platypus : I'm going to... marry Daniel when I grow up.
Lady Aberlin : Are you, Ana?
Ana Platypus : Yes.
Prince Tuesday : I don't think that platypuses and tigers can get married.
Ana Platypus : But... I think we'll be in love with each other when we're grown-ups, and then it will be all right.
Daniel Striped Tiger : Is that the way it is, Lady Aberlin?
Lady Aberlin : Love
[writes the word "love" on the teaching board]
Lady Aberlin : does solve a lot of problems, Daniel.
Daniel Striped Tiger : Is that what you think, too, Miss Cow?
Harriet Elizabeth Cow : Well, yes I do, Daniel. And you know, love is much more than a word. Love is something you... you feel. Love is something you do.
