Transcript:
Sam: But I don't want to stay with Uncle Sid! Why do you have to go to England? Zonker: Duty, little dudette - the House o' Windsor needs me! Sam: But you're not even a real lord! Zonker: Real enough, Sam. When you buy a title, noblesse oblige is part of the package! As a member of the upper class, I have to do my bit, especially if I'm asked by my queen, to whom I owe loyalty and respect. Sam: But I thought the Queen was clueless! Zonker: Only in public. She has to uphold tradition.
