Bertie: ...But, to answer your question, Elizabeth, I *am* going to eat a hot dog - five hot dogs - TEN!...

[first lines]
Daisy: Back then - this is years ago - I couldn't afford secrets. I just had chores. As a child growing up, we had been rich. And then, well, we weren't. And like most people during the Depression, I now lived each day as it came no longer expecting anything. Waiting. For nothing. And then...

Daisy: In a time, not so very long ago, when the world still allowed itself secrets, Franklin Roosevelt was mine.
-
Daisy: And no more promises were made so none could be broken.
-
Bertie: I asked, without mentioning you, about these hot dogs. What's that about. Do you want to know what he said? He said he doesn't get the fuss. They're just a good thing to eat at a picnic. There's no meaning. Nothing more.
Elizabeth: You didn't say I was concerned?

Elizabeth: Three different women asked me tonight if there'd ever be an American queen. If we'd ever allow it.

Daisy: [watching FDR and Eleanor, voice over] People said their marriage was troubled and unhappy. That they lived mostly separate lives. But I never saw that. That's not how they seemed when they were together.

FDR: I didn't know they voted for that in England.
-
Bertie: Don't ever compare me to my brother again!
-
Daisy: [after the king eats a hot dog, voice over] And like that, we felt America and England were back on the road to being *very* good friends. At least, I'm told that's how some people took it.
-
Daisy: [while expressing her uncertainty whether the moon is full] It's just such an important night.
