Prince Philip
They're not mating are they?
Prince Philip
It seems to me that it's the best way of wasting money that I know of. I don't think investments on the moon pay a very high dividend.
Prince Philip
Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?
Prince Philip
We are suffering a national defeat comparable to any lost military campaign, and what is more, it is self- inflicted? It is about time that we pulled our fingers out? The rest of the world most certainly does not owe us a living.
Prince Philip
I suppose I'd get in trouble if I were to melt them down.
Prince Philip
