Mayerling Page #3

I wasn`t alone,

but I lost my mother, sister

and cousin in the crowd so -

- So we`ll look for them.

- You and me?

If you like.

It`s odd, but I have

the feeling I know you.

Against the wishes

of my father, the king,

I have come to you,

prince of my heart.

Oh, my angel!

Oh, my treasure!

I`ll don my silver armor.

To do what, my lion?

To tell the king of our love.

- God save you.

- God save our love.

Oh, Lord!

Who is this terrible man?

I am the devil,

and I have come for you.

Why?

To roast and toast you,

broil and boil you.

Mr. Devil,

please do not take me.

Such happiness was to be mine.

- All the better!

Happy souls are

all the nicer to torment!

Have mercy, Mr. Devil!

No, no pity!

How sad.

She loved

and she was punished for it.

- It doesn`t seem fair to me.

- No, not very.

Who is it that you remind me of?

Look, they`re so pretty.

- That one looks like you.

- I only wish.

I`ll try to ring it.

Give me some rings.

Three rings for 20 sous.

- You`ll never do it.

- Just wait.

You missed.

Missed again.

He did it!

Amazing.

Sir, you won this taffy.

Thank you.

What luck.

Wait. We`ll divide it equally.

Here - for you.

- Thank you. I love it.

My mother!

She mustn`t see me with a stranger.

- Don`t go. She didn`t see you.

- No, I mustn`t stay. Good-bye.

I realized,

once you weren`t looking at me,

that it`s Archduke Rudolf

that you remind me of.

- Does that bother you?

- Not at all.

Good-bye.

Since when is Your Majesty

fond of taffy?

Taffy?

/t must have been

another /ate night, Your Highness.

/t`s not my fau/t, Loschek.

/ must have some re/ief

from the boredom of my days.

I understand, Your Highness.

Life is no carnival.

Your voice sounds very strange.

Bad news?

Mr. Szeps was here earlier,

before dawn.

Why didn `t you show him in?

I didn`t want to wake you, and he was

very rushed. They closed down his paper.

There`s a warrant out for his arrest.

- Szeps arrested?

No, he managed to escape.

He`s safe.

He said to assure Your Highness

there`s no need to worry.

How dare they?

This time they`ve gone too far.

Come in.

What is it?

His Excellency the prime minister,

Count Taaffe.

- His Highness is not ready -

- Show him in.

You hear me?

Show Count Taaffe in.

His Highness is in the bathroom.

My respects, Your Highness.

To what do I owe this honor?

I`ve come this early

only because I wished to inform you

personally of the measures

ordered by His Majesty

to deal with Szeps and his paper.

I know.

Your Highness is well-informed.

That`s unfortunate for me,

since l`d hoped to demonstrate

my sincerity and devotion.

Never use words

beyond your comprehension.
