"And if he sees any coolness between you, he'll report it to Afghanistan." "Well, let him." "But surely Your Majesty knows that if Afghanistan hears anything..." "Baluchistan hears it too." "And if Baluchistan hears it, then all Persia will know it." "And what is talked of in Persia spreads all over Turkey." "And when anything is known in Turkey, the Armenians get onto it immediately." "And you know how many Armenians go to America." "So if Wall Street hears of a rift in the matrimonial happiness of Your Majesty... it will stop all credits and we do not get the loan." " And without that loan, we are broke." " (Ministers) Broke!" "(Door Slams)" "So, unless I have a smile on my face tonight, we are broke." " (Ministers) Yes, Your Highness." " And you call yourselves statesmen." "Borrowing money is all that you're able to do." "Prince Alfred, what are you permitting yourself?" "I permit myself to make the following suggestion." "We do not need a loan." "We have enough natural resources." "There is my plan for the national budget." "(Whispered Chattering)" "I have worked out everything - in my sleepless days." "The country can be saved without a loan." "Go on." "Read it." "It includes everything." "Even your dressmakers' bills."
