"Good people! I missed my introduction! [crowd cheers] But please... please, I pray you, hear it now! For I would lay rest the grace in my tongue and speak plainly. Days like these are far too rare to cheapen with heavy-handed words. And so, I'm afraid without any ado whatsoever — [passes in front of Prince Edward] excuse me, My Lord — here he is! One of your own! Born a stone's throw from this very stadium, and here before you now! The son of John Thatcher... Sir Wiiiiiilliam Thatcheeer!"

"You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?"

"He Will Rock You."

"He didn't make the rules. He was born to break them."

"From peasant to knight; one man can change his stars."

"My lords, my ladies, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion! [crowd roars] Today... today, you find yourselves equals! [crowd roars] For you are all equally blessed! For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword! Next, he amazed me still further in Italy, when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishings of her dreadful Turkish uncle! [crowd boos] In Greece, he spent a year in silence, just to better understand the sound... of a whisper. And so, without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir UUUUUlrich von Lichtenstein! [crowd roars] Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!"
