which is to my advantage.

To allmighty you perhaps have take a fence for such wealth since you are a Protestant?

Our king opened to tolerate Protestants.

Thank you Count Thurzo

It is my right not to share my

posessions with the Catholic Church.

For centuries your friends in Rome orchestrated countless...

...murders of inocents, especially women.

It'll suprise me.

Are you defending the witches, Countess?

Please, this conversation is boring me!

I appologize.

I was just asking the Countess

about her admirable wealth.

Posez pas de questions que

vous connaissez dj la rponse.

My little niece knows six languages,

including ancient Greek.

It is possible for a woman's mind...

- ...to be sharper than than a man's?

- Of course it is.

But I have heard that their emotions are...

...alway get best of them so their

intelligence ultmately, wasted.

I agree that most of women are weak.

And it is in the area of heart that

weakness seems to alive.

A man's weakness is located in the lower part of thire body.

At somewhat less noble part.

I think men and women are

both equal and different.

- Equal? That is a very poor statement.

- You might not listen, Bishop.

My cousin said xxx different.

We all have out strengths and weaknesses.

What are your weaknesses, Countess?

I am woman. I love beautiful

dresses and gold jewelry.

Just like you, dear Bishop.

Are you sure the woman in xxx

can manage your estate wisely?

Darvulia is young but she is more than wise to maintaining my wealth.

She is the most knowledgable woman in the land.

- After you.

- Of course.

I've heard you've earned a

large amount of money recently.

Yes, a very profitable transaction.

It did cost many the lives and

freedom of many Bohemian peasants.

Everything has its price.

- Turkish lines are quite near your castle.

- Indeed.

Don't you feel endangered to stand alone near the wars?

- I am not alone and war is my duty.

- I've considered to marry you.

Our union would make us the most powerful.

Dear Gyorgy, you know very well, it would

be inappropriate for me to marry you

You are a Count by mariage whereas

the nobility has be in my blood for centuries.

I know their cosine. All I'm saying is if you feel yourself need you can always count on me.

What maters is that we are all united against Turks.

Of course.

We must leave for the ball, Erzebet.

Dear Count, will you join us?

Unfortunately I am leaving for Prague

early tomorrow.

What a shame. Have a good journey then.

- Did he dare to ask you?

- Of courese.

I knew it. He insisted of coming.

I am not xxx his maners.

He's always wearing last year's fashion.

Do not marry him.
