[Eggsy prepares to leave the house]
Princess Tilde:
Eggsy, I hope you're hungry.
[Eggsy sees that Princess Tilde has prepared breakfast]
Eggsy:
Oh, babe, I was gonna grab breakfast at work. This looks lovely, but I'm running late.
Princess Tilde:
I just thought maybe we could practice? For tonight.
Eggsy:
Practice?
Princess Tilde:
Mm-hmm.
Eggsy:
Eating?
Princess Tilde:
You said you've never eaten at a palace before. And Pappa is sort of picky about table manners.
Eggsy:
Well, as it happens, babe, I've got this shit on lock. I know what every single one of them knives and forks is for.
[Eggsy recalls his dining etiquette training with Harry]
Harry Hart:
This is a butter knife. It's the only one you need to remember; the rest of the cutlery is easy. You start from the outside, and you work your way in with each course.
[Harry notices the way Eggsy is holding the knife]
Harry Hart:
And never let anyone describe you as 'H.K.L.P.'
Eggsy:
What is that?
Harry Hart:
'Holds knife like pen.' A habit erroneously described to be upper class dining etiquette.
[shows the proper way to hold the knife]
Harry Hart:
It is quite the opposite.
[Harry points at the glasses]
Harry Hart:
White wine, pudding wine, red wine, water, and pop. Or whatever tipple takes your fancy.
[Harry opens the soup bowl. Eggsy pours some soup on his bowl]
Eggsy:
Am I supposed to wait for everyone else to be served before I start eating?
Harry Hart:
Only if the dish being served is cold, or if the Queen is present. Otherwise, tuck in.
[back to present]
Eggsy:
Got to be honest... never really thought that royalty bit would be relevant. Harry would've been chuffed.
Princess Tilde:
Oh. I wish I could've met him.
[pause, before Eggsy turns around to face Harry's preserved dog]
Eggsy:
You miss him too, don't you, Mr. Pickle? Mmm?
[pause, then Eggsy turns back to Princess Tilde]
Eggsy:
Mr. Pickle says, 'Yeah'.
