Sample
PRINCE: Father, if you met her, you would love her, too. She is so beautiful.
KING: If beauty were all that mattered, do you think I’d have married your mother? Rest her soul, she was plain as a pork chop. But she had a dowry and hips as wide as a cow’s. I knew she’d bear me strong royal sons. (He looks at the PRINCE.) Yes, well, that was the idea. But no, son, you must have a proper queen.
