King Wendell quotes from The 10th Kingdom

We've searched every inch of the prison, but the Queen's gone, sir.

I have been the governor of this prison for twelve years. No prisoner has ever escaped before.

That's a very impressive record.

Wendell

Whatever you do, Antony, don't tell him I'm a dog.

Why not?

Speak when you're spoken to!

Wendell

Because the Queen has got some terrible plan. My whole kingdom may be in jeopardy. No one must know I'm helpless.

HOW did the Queen ESCAPE?!

I'm telling you, I have no idea.

Then WHY were you found locked in her empty cell?!

I am an innocent victim. I have never been in trouble with the police my entire life.

Then why are you wearing handcuffs?

Well, because I'm wanted for armed robbery which I didn't have anything to do with either.

Wendell

Oh, carry on, Antony. You're doing spectacularly well so far.

Look, look, I'm from a different dimension. I came here from a different dimension led by that dog, who is actually Prince Wendell.

Wendell

Oh, I told you not to say that.

[visibly annoyed] Prince Wendell? Look. I can make you break rocks with your teeth for a hundred years.

I'm telling you, it's the truth.

That is the Queen's dog. She has been permitted to keep him in her cell for three years. Do not insult my intelligence.

I'm not, I'm telling you, it's the tru-- All right, fine, I'll prove it. Bark once if I'm telling the truth.

Wendell

I have no intention of barking, Antony.

Virginia

Our mirror's smashed, what can we do? Where the hell are the other two?

Mirror one shattered be, by an oaf called Anthony. [Tony avoids looking at anyone] Mirror two is on a bed with barnacles upon its head.

Anthony

A bed... with barnacles.

Virginia

The sea bed!

Yes. One fell into the Great Northern Sea. I think you can safely discount that one.

What you seek has not been seen, since it was stolen by the Queen.

Anthony

The Queen! That's all we need.

Prince Wendell

Anthony, uh, any chance of a little biscuit?

Anthony

No, no, no, umm... Very helpful you have been, just tell us where we can find the Queen.

Near she is, but not alone. in a place that's not her home. In a castle, out of sight,where once the Queen was called Snow White.

Anthony

That's Prince Wendell's castle.

King Wendell

And now, for the greatest bravery imaginable. For courage in the face of relentless and terrible danger, I award my dear friends the highest medals in my Kingdom. Firstly, my temporary manservant, Antony. My people, look upon my friend. No longer is he spineless and wallowing in self-pity.

[wincing] Thanks.

King Wendell

No longer is he a balding, useless coward who would rather run than fight.

I think they got the message.

King Wendell

No longer is he selfishly driven by envy and greed.

Wendell, the medal.

King Wendell

No. He is heroically transformed. What braver man could exist, than Antony the Valiant?
