These humorous quotes implicitly elaborate on the tug-of-war between duty and love. It is a common theme in films based on royalty, but not so far from the many decisions we must make daily.

While many of us get to and choose to marry for love, we must sacrifice our love for duty in other areas of life. This can include selecting a career you are not particularly fond of over your dream to support your family. It can mean eating a banana instead of a cupcake out of duty to your health so you can be there for your family.

However, there remains a love within all these duties. A love for your family, a love for yourself, and, in Junson's case, if he were to marry out of duty, a love for his home country.
