Marie Antoinette: Very angry! You know why, of course.
Noel, Marquis de Maynes: Could it be for fighting Count de Talles?
Marie Antoinette: Among others.
Noel, Marquis de Maynes: I only scratched him a little.
Marie Antoinette: They say you crippled him for life.

Andre Moreau: I also believe in laughter and I know the world is mad.
Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon: I don't suppose you can mend a broken wheel?

Andre Moreau: I envy you. Mine is in chains from this moment.
Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon: I'm not coming.
Andre Moreau: Then I shall come with you.
Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon: Come where with me?
Andre Moreau: To the ends of the earth if that's where you're going.
Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon: I'm going home, and that's half a mile.
Andre Moreau: Half a mile with you is as fifty leagues with Cleopatra.
