"That's all right, Grandma." "I've been thinking about it a great deal... and the truth is..." "I think you'd make a very fine princess." "You know, people think... princesses are supposed to wear tiaras... marry the prince, always look pretty... and live happily ever after... but it's so much more than that." "It's a real job." "You are an extraordinary person, Grandma... but I don't think I'm meant to do this." "I would be so afraid... that I would disappoint the people of Genovia... and I couldn't bear... to disappoint you again." "well, as I said..." "I have faith in you." "I'm a writer." "Ah!"
