Queen Charlotte : If he's mad, Sir, you have made him so by your idleness.
Prince of Wales : If I'm idle, it's because the King gives me nothing to do.
Queen Charlotte : Do? Do what I do! I support him. I have his children. Fifteen of them!
Prince of Wales : Then, you should be grateful to me for giving you a breathing space. No, a breeding space.

George III : Those warm thighs! You harlot!
Queen Charlotte : George, hear me! Do you think that you are mad?
George III : I don't know. I don't know. Madness isn't such a torment. Madness isn't half blind. Madmen can stand. They skip. They dance. And talk. And talk and talk and talk. I hear the words, I have to speak them. I have to - empty my head of the words. Something has happened. Something is not right.
