Marie Antoinette Page #2

She hates you too. You'll be queen.

I don't care. I'll choose your friends.

I haven't any friends.

Haven't you?

I'm not clever like my brothers.

I can't think of things to say.

Now you have me.

You're my friend, aren't you?

- I'd like to be.

- I'd like to be yours.

My mother says that a happy marriage

depends upon the wife.

I suppose so.

A good wife is also a good mother.

My mother had 16 children.

Of course, I don't think we need

to have quite so many, do you?

Perhaps I'm talking too much

about myself.

Don't you want to talk

about yourself?

I have nothing to say about myself.

- I'm sorry.

- I like to be alone.

- So do I, at times.

- I like to be alone all the time.

- Do you?

- All the time. I'll see you in the morning.

Please, please, don't go.

Is anything the matter?

My mother will be dreadfully cross

with me if I can't make you like me.

- Are you in love with someone else?

- No.

Well, then, can't you...

Oh, be quiet.

Go back where you came from.

Leave me alone. Leave me alone.

All right, I will. I will.

I was only trying to obey my mother.

She asked me to be a good wife.

But she didn't tell me how rude you are.

Your mother. It's all her doing.

She wanted an alliance.

I didn't ask to have you for a wife.

Oh, didn't you? I didn't know that.

I tried to tell the king,

but he wouldn't listen.

All he wants is an heir to the throne.

Well, there'll never be an heir

because of me.

There. Now you know.

I'm glad. Glad it's over.

Well, why don't you laugh?

It's funny, isn't it?

Anyone would laugh.

I laugh myself.

Please, please don't.

Don't be unhappy.

I'm terribly sorry.

You won't say anything, will you?

To the king or that woman?

- I won't say a word to anyone.

- You promise?

I promise faithfully,

whatever happens.

Thank you. You're very good.

I'm afraid I was rude.

I always say the wrong thing.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

You can be happy here, can't you?

I suppose so.

People will like you.

You could have anything you want.

Yes.

Now...

...will you go?

I'm very tired.

Please go.

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

- I am doing it.

- Isn't he dainty?

Positively breathtaking!

Sire, have you ever had a gallant

more decorous or more obedient?

Not you, or you, or you.

Not even him.

Quiet. Quiet. Listen.

The bells.

Do you know why they're ringing?

It's a wedding anniversary.

Oh, not mine. The Austrian's.

So it is. Still,

one would think it was yours.

Wouldn't one?

Oh, I must laugh.

And how different when she came.

You were all around her,

flies at a honey pot.

And I was left out of sight,

like an egg in a duck's belly.

- But no, madame, no...
