• King Richard IV : [laughs]  Ah, Harry, the gentle art of diplomacy! But you well know where the real secret of diplomacy lies, don't you, my boy...

  Harry, Prince of Wales : Well, actually, I don't, Father, but I would like to know.

  King Richard IV : [points to Harry's groin]  There.

  Harry, Prince of Wales : [lifts his robes]  Are you sure? I can't imagine anything of any real interest down there.

  Harry, Prince of Wales : Well, a couple of things...

  King Richard IV : Correct, and one of those things is...?

  Harry, Prince of Wales : Something like, er, "It is with extrawberry pleasure that we welcome you, er, may you be the apple of your husband's eye, and may he, in turn, cherries you..." - 'Cherish', you see - "... even though it's an oranged marriage." Good, eh?
