Marie Antoinette Page #5

Have you ever been with a Russian?

- No, I--

- They're so bossy.

Look how fat the marquis's gotten.

Hope he doesn't break the chair.

Is he still sleeping with Camille?

Anyway, I must be off.

It was lovely to meet you.

Quiet.

Applause is not usually permitted

at court performances.

Why not? It was wonderful.

Clap, clap.

Clap.

Dearest Antoinette:

I'm pleased to tell you how wonderful

your brothers and sisters are doing...

...in their marriages.

Maria Carolina is pregnant...

...expecting her first child in June.

And Ferdinand is enchanted

with Beatrice...

...having made her his wife at once.

All this news, which should fill me

with contentment...

...is diminished by reflections

on your dangerous situation.

Everything depends on the wife...

...if she is willing and sweet.

I can't repeat enough...

...the importance for you

to employ charm and patience...

...never ill humor, to remedy

this unfortunate situation.

Remember, nothing is certain

about your place there...

...until an heir is produced.

- Excuse me.

- It's all right.

I'm sorry.

That's all right.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Your Majesties are requested at the

delivery of Comtesse de Provence.

Bravo, bravo.

- Oh, wonderful!

- It's a healthy baby boy.

Oh, my God. How happy I am.

Let me see my nephew.

The new Duc d'Angoulme.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

It's the first Bourbon prince

of his generation.

He's so beautiful.

It's barren. What do you expect?

When will you give us an heir?

I hear she's frigid.

I like the pink. It's like candy.

This is wonderful.

I love this.

Oh, it's a classic.

Could we get

some more champagne?

Monsieur Lonard.

Ravishing.

Oh, Lonard.

You're the best.

- It's not too much, is it?

- No.

We should all go to Paris

for the masked ball.

We're not allowed to go

without a formal reception.

Well, if it's a masked ball...

...no one would have to know,

would they?

Sorry.

Which way?

Come on.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Where do you come from, monsieur?

Versailles.

And has the dauphin

done the deed yet?

What?

Has the dauphin deflowered

the dauphine?

- Excuse me?

- I'd love to do the honors, you know.

Doesn't interest me. Cheers.

Look at that sword.

I'd like to see what he could

do with that.

Oh, who's he talking to?

Hideous dress she's wearing.

Pretend you're having

a really good time.

Have fun.

- Do I know you?

- No. I don't think so.

Are you making

any progress with her?

Possibly.

Are you going to tell me

who you are?

Are you?

Count Fersen of the Swedish army.

Count Fersen.

That's the dauphine.

We must go.

It's half past three in the morning.

No. Let's just stay a little longer.
