Maria: Sport royal, I warrant you. (II, iii, 170)
Maria is saying this when she is plotting against Malvolio to try to trick him into thinking that Olivia wrote a letter to him. When Maria says sport royal, it can be translated into lets play. Maria is saying game on. Maria, Toby, and Andrew all want to watch Malvolio's reaction to this letter so they can get some entertainment out of the scheme.
