影片對白

Elizabeth: Charles and I had a talk in the car today. He was good enough to share with me his thoughts on motherhood.

Philip: What did he say?

Elizabeth: How wonderful Diana was.

Philip: That's changing his tune.

Elizabeth: He thought her natural.

Diana: They see me as a threat of some kind.

Philip: Oh, for God's sake!

Elizabeth: Maybe he's got a point. Maybe we are partly to blame.

Philip: Oh, I can't watch this.

Elizabeth: No, no. Wait. Please, no, leave it.

Diana: I don't go by a rulebook. Because I lead from the heart, not the head, and it's got me into trouble in my work.

Elizabeth: We encouraged the match. We signed off on it, both of us. You were very enthusiastic, remember?

Philip: She was a nice girl. Then. And I was sure he'd give the other one up, or at least make sure his wife toed the line. Isn't that what everyone does?

Elizabeth: Is it?

Man: Was Mrs Parker Bowles a factor in the breakdown of your marriage?

Diana: There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.

Philip: I can't bear it any more. If you're watching, I'll sleep next door. Early start tomorrow.

Elizabeth: Any luck with your stag?

Philip: No. But close, a couple of hundred yards at one point. One of the boys even got a shot off. We'll get him tomorrow. See you in the morning. Not to worry. Night-night.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. Change one's tune

這個片語也寫作sing another / a different tune，意為"改變態度，改變調子，改變立場"，例如：When she realized she was talking to the bank president, she quickly changed her tune.

2. Rulebook

A rulebook is a book containing a list of rules for a game，就是漢語中所說的"規則手冊"。Diana 這里的意思是"她不是一個按規矩行事的人"，因英國王室有很多的禮儀和規矩，而 Diana 打破了很多。
