The Emperor Waltz Page #4

You wouldn't have put in

the electric light,

bought an automobile,

only the Emperor did.

He's gonna buy

the first one of these

and endorse it.

And when he does,

You watch the sales skyrocket.

Yo-ho! They're going up.

And perhaps you will take

a photograph of our Emperor...

Iooking into that horn,

in place of your dog.

Don't you realize this is

the greatest thing that's

happened to the Holenia's...

in ten generations?

Will it pay

the butcher's bill?

What butcher would dare

present his bill to the

Emperor's brother-in-law?

What was that?

My poor demented daughter,

don't you realize

we've just become part

of the Emperor's family?

All because of some

arrangement about puppies?

Thanks to those puppies

Your father is now...

the most important man

in the monarchy, inseparable

from the Emperor.

He and I will sit together

waiting for them to be born.

We'll feed the little things

with medicine droppers,

spread newspapers for them,

take them on walks.

I shall have

the Emperor's ear and

advise him on matters of state.

I may become

ambassador to Paris,

or minister of finance.

Oh, not that, Father.

As for you, Johanna,

magnificent vistas

have opened up.

What's wrong with

the young king of Spain? Or

there's an English princeling.

Father, to return

to the butcher,

how are we to provide...

meat for the bride

if she's to be kept alive

for the happy event?

Don't be ridiculous.

We now have all the credit

in the world.

So Vienna thought

we had gone to the dogs?

[Chuckles]

Gone to the dogs,

indeed.

Stop dawdling. We've

endured your presence

long enough.

Aw, your emperor's

sideburns!

What are you

doing now? Disrobing

in the palace grounds?

What a fussy old dude you are.

You're worse than a worm

on a hot rock.

I'll give you

one more minute to get

that object out of here!

That's what's known

as Viennese charm, Buttons.

If you ever see me order

Wiener schnitzel again,

You can spit

right in my eye!

[Barking]

Here, Buttons.

Come back here.

[Growling]

[Dogs Barking, Growling]

Hey, Buttons.

Go away,

You nasty mongrel.

What are you up to?

You bad dog, you. Here.

What's the matter?

Hey.! Hey, you.!

This dog is bleedin'.

What did you do to my dog?

Stop! Hey!

That's enough.

That's enough.

You bet it is. We've been

kicked around, thrown in

the water, snapped at, bitten.

Who do those people

think they are?

They are His Excellency,

Baron Holenia...

and the Countess

von Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg.

Where do they live?

The Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg

palace on

Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg Square.

That's a lot of Stolzenberg.

And don't tell us to get out

'cause we're gittin'.

[Bell Ringing]
