Kovin: [taps charles with his pipe] You're not well Charles. You're not yourself.
Kovin: Kovin: You know what ails you. Careful Charles, remember your special weakness.
Prince Charles: [playing the melody to "climbing rose" on the piano] She's frightened sad and hurt. afraid to hope, expecting ridicule. A tender heart half afraid to love.
Kovin: Oh careful Charles.
Prince Charles: [upset, he stops playing] Why be careful? Every man has his own special vulnerability. I once knew a man who couldn't resist fat women; women with rolls. Another who fell madly in love with everytime a woman slapped his face, well this is mine.
[smiles, and resumes playing, this time a more jovial variation of the tune]
Prince Charles: Why go against nature?
