剪辑自《Antz》

The princess: we don’t seem to have anything in common. The guy’s a stiff.

The queen:  Yes, darling. I know the general may be….a little gruff and somewhat overbearing at times, but I know he cares about you. He’s just not particularly good at showing it.

          But you should’ve seen how persistently he asked for your hand in marriage

The princess: But. why me?

The queen:  Because you’re the one who has to continue my work. It’s your place, dear.

The princess: What if I don’t like my place?

The queen:  Everyone has their places, Bala…. You, the soldiers, the workers.

           Now, it’s not all that bad being princess, is it?

           Would you prefer to be carting around dirt all day ?

The princess: mother, Don’t be so dramatic.
