00:07:42he exercises daily eats plain boiled food and drinks i'm afraid
00:07:47with great moderation

00:08:17and every eye will be on her from the moment she arrives in vienna
00:08:21you don't even know if she's coming the last i heard she was fox hunting in england
00:08:25oh she'll be here
00:08:27she always comes back when she has the chance to give a performance over the perfect mother
00:08:31stephanie be careful how you speak of the empress do you hear me
00:08:35always you side with her against me
00:08:37heaven's name i'm her son
00:08:40then that is a thing you should remember
00:08:42i've seen you looking at her sometimes
00:08:45and not in the way a son should look at his mother
00:08:48i always thought you were a prudish bourgeois little fool
00:08:51but i never thought your mind if you had one was as mean and low as that
00:08:55if you say such things to me again once just once
00:08:58i'll break your thick stupid belgian neck

00:09:55my
00:09:57my
00:10:29It's so hot in here.
00:10:50I need a change of air.
00:10:52You mean you need a change?
00:10:57Will you be here tomorrow night?
00:10:58If somebody invites me.
00:11:01Somebody has just invited you.
00:11:03From that I take it his highness is bored.
00:11:22No, his highness is very, very bored.
00:11:24I know a lot of men who would like to be bored by someone as beautiful as Mitzi Kaspar.
00:11:30It's not her fault, poor girl.
00:11:31It's a system.
00:11:32What system?
00:11:34The system of having archdukes, crown princes and willing, desperately willing women.
00:11:39Last night at the court ball, that dark Polish woman, the only one there who interested me,
00:11:48I asked you to present her.
00:11:50Well, I found out I'd already been to bed with her.
00:11:53And she had to remind you?
00:11:55It took all my skill in diplomacy.
00:11:57Even my father would have been proud of me, dear old man.
00:12:01Oh, but the emperor is not old.
00:12:02The emperor was born old.
00:12:07Old man should not be allowed to govern.
00:12:10After our meeting at the Prata tonight with the Hungarians, if you are still bored, we can go abroad again.
00:12:16We've tried travel.
00:12:19We've tried politics, gambling, drink.
00:12:24I don't fancy young men.
00:12:27So what's left?
00:12:30There's always innocence.
00:12:35Innocence is too close to ignorance.
00:12:37No, I'm afraid his highness must resign himself to being very, very bored.
00:12:55You were followed?
00:12:56I shook them off.
00:12:57Where's Prince John and his men from Hungary?
00:12:59They may have had more trouble getting rid of the police than you did.
00:13:03It's been a long time since I've been to the Prata.
00:13:05Read this while I have a look around.
00:13:08It's my article on the student's trial.
00:13:10Well, I hope it won't have to be toned down like your last one.
00:13:14Don't skip through it.
00:13:15Read it.
00:13:15I think it says some good things.
00:13:19Headless, wearing a uniform.
00:13:22Does he think you won't be recognized?
00:13:23Oh, not here.
00:13:25Besides, Taffer's spy still thinks he's at Zuckers.
00:13:27I must see the king, your father.
00:13:40The king?
00:13:41What to ask, my valiant knight?
00:13:44To ask for your hand, princess of mine.
00:13:47Young lady, I wonder whether you would like to have a drink with me.
00:13:50Please go away.
00:13:51I don't know you.
00:13:52I thought you were on your own.
00:13:53The lady's not on her own.
00:13:55I'm sorry.
00:13:56I didn't know you were with her.
00:13:58I'm sorry.
00:13:59I beg your pardon.
00:14:00I beg your pardon.
00:14:02To convince your noble father and win him over.
00:14:06You must flee quickly before it is too late.
00:14:09And you're just as bad as he is.
00:14:11Telling lies straight out.
00:14:14Lies?
00:14:16That you were with me.
00:14:18How do I know you?
00:14:19I can't see close to you without my spectacles.
00:14:22And I'm much to vent to wear them in public, so.
00:14:24I could go and stand ten yards away so you could see for yourself we're total strangers.
00:14:29Then it's just as bad for me to be talking with you as with him.
00:14:32Just as bad.
00:14:34Then I mustn't.
00:14:35But thank you just the same.
00:14:37Oh!
00:14:38Horrible man!
00:14:39And who are you?
00:14:40I am the devil and I've come to fit you.
00:14:44But why?
00:14:44Because I'm going to roast you.
00:14:47I'm going to toast you.
00:14:48Then I'll boil you into soup.
00:14:50Mercy!
00:14:50Mercy, master devil!
00:14:51Peter, mercy!
00:14:52Mercy never!
00:14:53Mercy, she says!
00:14:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:14:58How sad it was.
00:14:59She fell in love and she was punished.
00:15:03Oh, look.
00:15:04Bring us one.
00:15:11Bring us one, Lady of the Settlement.
00:15:14Are you sure I don't know you?
00:15:16I told you, we've never met before.
00:15:18You seem vaguely...
00:15:19Oh!
00:15:19Bring us one.
00:15:20Look.
00:15:21Only five hellers.
00:15:22Oh, and they're lovely.
00:15:23Only five hellers.
00:15:25Bring us one.
00:15:26Bring us one and win a prize.
00:15:29Only five hellers.
00:15:30This time it's my turn.
00:15:32Ten hellers worth.
00:15:33I have a feeling we'll need them.
00:15:34I'm hurted by such evident lack of faith.
00:15:36Watch this.
00:15:42Miss, what did I say?
00:15:48Miss, this is getting monotonous.
00:15:54Miss.
00:15:56Miss, oh!
00:15:57A ringer!
00:15:58Ha, a ringer!
00:16:00Look, everybody, look.
00:16:01The officer on my left wins a bottle of brinsing for only...
00:16:08Oh, sir!
00:16:09I didn't want him to draw attention to us.
00:16:12I'm thirsty.
00:16:13I was looking forward to the wine.
00:16:15You know the saying, you might as well be hanged for a sheep is for a lamb.
00:16:18In a bottle of wine.
00:16:19Only five hellers.
00:16:20Bring us one.
00:16:21Now, perhaps you believe I was thirsty.
00:16:28Now I'll believe anything.
00:16:30My mother says I have the manners of a coachman.
00:16:33And have you?
00:16:35I have exquisite manners when I need them.
00:16:37I should have anyway.
00:16:39I went through seven governesses in my time.
00:16:41Seven?
00:16:41You must have been a holy terror.
00:16:44Well, you know what it's like.
00:16:47Did your parents understand you?
00:16:50Have I said something so funny?
00:16:53Oh, no.
00:16:54Something sad.
00:16:56Now I understand why we have parents.
00:17:00So that we, their children, can remain misunderstood.
00:17:03My children won't be.
00:17:05I assume you don't have any.
00:17:08Not even engaged.
00:17:10I am what you might call pursued.
00:17:14That I can understand.
00:17:16Is there anyone likely to succeed in the chase?
00:17:18One thinks he will.
00:17:20But he's a lamb.
00:17:21And the others are so busy with their uniforms, their horses.
00:17:24Would you like to dance with me?
00:17:25I was going to ask you to.
00:17:27I know, little ladies shouldn't.
00:17:29But coachman's daughters can if they want.
00:17:34I know, little ladies and gentlemen.
00:18:04But he must be the best in the world.
00:18:19Oh, I must vanish.
00:18:21Thank you and forgive me.
00:18:22Forgive me.
00:18:30No, she wouldn't have come in a place like this.
00:18:33John, I almost didn't recognize you without your beard.
00:18:51I should hope not.
00:18:52What with six changes of carriage from Budapest to Vienna.
00:18:55By the way, dear cousin, this is Count Carolyi.
00:19:00I'm glad to meet you at last.
00:19:02Good evening.
00:19:03And anxious to hear your news.
00:19:04First of all, Carolyi has been chosen as leader of the Hungarian Rising.
00:19:11Yes?
00:19:12Let me explain.
00:19:14For us to succeed in overthrowing the present Hungarian regime, we must carry with us not
00:19:20only students, intellectuals, and discontented officers.
00:19:23We must also have the support of ordinary people.
00:19:27The landowners, the middle classes.
00:19:29If I can go back with Prince John, as your cousin, his word will carry great weight.
00:19:34And if I can say that you are behind us, then we will have the support from all classes that we need.
00:19:43You can say this to your friends in Budapest.
00:19:47I support Hungary's claim to govern itself.
00:19:50I believe in free elections.
00:19:52But only so long as Hungary remains within the empire.
00:19:57I'd hoped for something stronger.
00:19:59I repeat, as long as Hungary stays within the empire.
00:20:09And remember this, my friends.
00:20:12I intend to save the empire, not to break it up.
00:20:29God be thanked for sparing His Highness for another day to live.
00:20:39Your program for today, Your Highness.
00:20:41At 11 o'clock Schönbrunn Palace, to see your mother, the Empress Elizabeth.
00:20:47At 2 o'clock, the railway station, to meet the Prince of Wales.
00:20:51You will entertain him at dinner.
00:20:55Tomorrow, at 11, a party of tennis.
00:20:59I have the order of the garter laid out.
00:21:02Queen Victoria is sure to ask Edward if I wore it.
00:21:04Highness, you know my orders.
00:21:06Orders?
00:21:07Orders from whom?
00:21:08From Count Taffey?
00:21:10Have you become one of his spies now?
00:21:11Are you like everyone else in this palace working against me, trying to...
00:21:14Highness.
00:21:18Is this my grain, Lushek?
00:21:19You have it now, it hurts.
00:21:23It's not the pain, it's the fear of the pain.
00:21:26It was your mother, the Empress.
00:21:28She did not order me.
00:21:29She asked me to help you give it up.
00:21:32It's dangerous, Your Highness.
00:21:35I'm seeing her today.
00:21:38Now, honor then.
00:22:00Come on, live Prudow.
00:22:04Come on, live Prudow.
00:22:08Lorde of the crosscast.
00:22:11Oh
00:22:13Oh
00:22:15Your highness good my mother where is she her majesty the empress is in the palm house
00:22:43She asked you not to stand on ceremony today
00:22:46Don't look so cross we haven't in England where they grow the most beautiful camellias
00:22:53Do you know what they use to feed the plants no majesty tea leaves they just empty the tea part right over the roots
00:23:00Well we will try the same majesty tea leaves
00:23:03But we must find someone in Vienna who drinks tea instead of coffee
00:23:07Perhaps you might try the British embassy
00:23:13You seem pleased to see me
00:23:17I am pleased to see you
00:23:19You might have announced your presence earlier rather than standing there just gaping
00:23:24It was such a delicious sensation having your voice running up and down my spine
00:23:28Oh mother
00:23:30I can't believe what a wonderful surprise
00:23:33Getting you here for my wedding anniversary almost makes up for the appalling five years
00:23:38I'm so hot in here can we go outside
00:23:41Of course we can until tomorrow morning then Otto, Fritz
00:23:45And you're looking tired
00:23:48Too many late nights at Sarge's
00:23:50I know what you're up to even in England
00:23:53And the migraine, is it better?
00:23:58You want to know if I'm still taking morphine?
00:24:04Yes
00:24:04Not so often
00:24:06And in your honour not today
00:24:08And today I found out how you knew
00:24:11How even my mother keeps spies on me
00:24:14But you also know that Lorshek and I both love you
00:24:17I imagine my father thinks the same thing that he also loves me
00:24:21Don't imagine, no
00:24:23Well he shows his affection for me in the strangest possible fashion
00:24:27No more strange than your affection for him
00:24:31Anyway I'm so pleased to see you
00:24:34The monotony of that phrase has a certain charm
00:24:37Why'd you suddenly disappear all the time?
00:24:39One day you were here, the next you were gone
00:24:42Never any attempt at saying goodbye
00:24:44I hate the word
00:24:45It's so terribly, terribly final
00:24:48I never use the word goodbye
00:24:51And my granddaughter
00:24:53Oh God, how I hate that word too
00:24:55Oh, she's enchanting
00:24:57Luckily she takes after neither of her parents
00:24:59Mm-hmm
00:25:00Perhaps her melancholy temperament can skip a generation like insanity
00:25:07In this family that could never be meant as a joke
00:25:10Not in this family
00:25:12Never
00:25:37My dear Edward, how nice to see you again
00:25:43Hello
00:25:44Delighted to see you
00:25:45This way
00:25:49Yours or mine?
00:25:50I'm sorry?
00:25:51National Anthem
00:25:52I'm tone deaf
00:25:53Can't tell one damn tune from another
00:25:55The Radecki March by the Elder Strauss
00:25:58Ooh yeah
00:26:00They're ready, your highness
00:26:02Ah, Voyage
00:26:03The Guard of Honours ready for your inspection
00:26:05Blinded looking body of men
00:26:07How is dear Queen Victoria?
00:26:09Oh, astonishingly healthier
00:26:10And your own dear mother?
00:26:11You see more of her in England than we do here
00:26:13Ah
00:26:17Well done, Sergeant
00:26:18Jolly well done
00:26:20And, uh, Buffalo Bill
00:26:22Is he still in London?
00:26:24Great try, wasn't he?
00:26:25No, he's gone on to Germany
00:26:26I think the Kaiser will have him in the Prussian cavalry soon
00:26:28Poor William
00:26:30I think we should try harder to like him
00:26:32Can't stand the fellow myself
00:26:33Even if he is my cousin
00:26:35Thank God you're not my cousin
00:26:37Almost everyone else is
00:26:39Ah, British decoration
00:26:41Very well done
00:26:43No, I'm not your cousin
00:26:44But you know I might easily have been your father
00:26:46My father?
00:26:47It was almost impossible to even meet Elizabeth
00:26:48As I'm falling in love with her
00:26:49She's still the most beautiful woman in Europe
00:26:51The trouble was, she's so nippy on her feet
00:26:53Just like she is on a horse
00:26:54I can never keep up with her
00:26:55I can never keep up with her
00:26:57I brought her a couple of foxhounds
00:26:58To improve the blood in her pack
00:27:05Incidentally, why are they always red carpets?
00:27:08Stations make fine places for assassinations
00:27:11On the red carpet, the blood doesn't show
00:27:25Well done, well done
00:27:35Tell me, where's she from?
00:27:38I think it's a Hungarian gypsy
00:27:41You know, we've every race and color in the British Empire
00:27:45But I've looked it up on the map
00:27:46And I cannot find one single solitary Hungarian
00:27:49Let alone a Hungarian that dances and looks like she does
00:27:54But when you're king, you can change all that
00:27:56Annex Hungary
00:27:57When?
00:27:58You'll forget my mother's 85
00:28:00And only 85
00:28:03The emperor's 60
00:28:05Only 60
00:28:08My God
00:28:10Here we set ass to thrones waiting for someone to die
00:28:12So that we can find a reason for living
00:28:15But you know, Rorov
00:28:17Thank you, my dear Mitzi
00:28:19You know, you've got to come to terms with life
00:28:22You must either accept the compensation such as these
00:28:26Or drive yourself mad with the frustrations of waiting and waiting
00:28:30They call me a lecher
00:28:32And a liberty
00:28:33They say I gamble too much
00:28:34All of which I'm glad to say is true
00:28:36But at least I shall have shared some of the emotions
00:28:37And the experiences of my people
00:28:39And I shall have lived before I become king
00:28:42Though why anybody should want the job, I sometimes wonder
00:28:46Why?
00:28:48My father can tell you why
00:28:50The man is born to be king
00:28:53Destiny, divine right
00:28:55He has them all
00:28:57Don't be so cynical, my young princelene
00:29:00Your father does very well
00:29:02He has all the attributes of kingship
00:29:04All the skills of diplomacy
00:29:05All the stubbornness
00:29:07All the resistance to new ideas that a man could possibly accumulate
00:29:11These students here in Vienna
00:29:14They're alive
00:29:16They're exploding with enthusiasm with ideas
00:29:19But to him, because they're dissenters
00:29:22They have to be criminals
00:29:24They have to be traitors
00:29:26Our Marinka
00:29:29Beautiful creature, isn't she?
00:29:31Not British allowed, but beautiful also
00:29:32She doesn't usually wear so much
00:29:35But in honor of the Prince of Wales
00:29:37She does him too much honor
00:29:39Tell me, does she speak any English?
00:29:42Only gypsy
00:29:44By some oversight on my mother's part, I never learnt the language
00:29:47Though I have a feeling the oversight was probably deliberate
00:29:50I think what you want to say is already understood, Edward
00:29:52Edward
00:29:54Edward, I must leave your affairs of state
00:29:56Must you?
00:29:58For an hour or two
00:30:00The blue door, there's a private staircase
00:30:01Come and sit down, my dear
00:30:02Come and sit down, my dear
00:30:04I have some champagne
00:30:06Some panska
00:30:08What news?
00:30:09Both Prince John and Count Carelli managed to avoid the secret police
00:30:12They arrived in Budapest safely
00:30:14And there?
00:30:15They want you to commit yourself more fully
00:30:17Go on
00:30:19They want you to commit yourself more fully
00:30:20Go on
00:30:22They want you to be their king
00:30:24Careful, Sepp, careful
00:30:26There is such a word as treason
00:30:28On the contrary
00:30:29It would be the only way to avoid bloodshed
00:30:30The horrors of a civil war
00:30:32You're right
00:30:34You're right
00:30:35You're right
00:30:36You're right
00:30:37You're right
00:30:38You're right
00:30:39You're right
00:30:40You're right
00:30:41You're right
00:30:42You're right
00:30:43You're right
00:30:44You're right
00:30:45You're right
00:30:46The only way to avoid bloodshed
00:30:48The horrors of a civil war
00:30:49You're wrong, my friend
00:30:51Logical, but wrong
00:30:53Wrong because of my father
00:30:55You'd rather see the empire destroyed
00:30:57Than have it separated without his having ordered it
00:31:00No
00:31:02Tell them
00:31:04Tell them to be patient
00:31:06Patient?
00:31:08And the people out there
00:31:10The poor who have no vote
00:31:12The journalists whose articles are censored
00:31:14The young students
00:31:16Who think they see so clearly
00:31:17How the world might be
00:31:19Political prisoners
00:31:21And the Jews
00:31:22Have they to be patient too?
00:31:24And for how long?
00:31:25As I said, tell them to be patient
00:31:28Because if I have to learn to be patient
00:31:30So by God shall they
00:31:34Just go upstairs
00:31:35All right
00:31:36Very well, your highness
00:31:39I thought you would never leave
00:31:55Not now
00:31:57Oh, when?
00:32:00I just feel that we must make it look like we've been
00:32:03Very much occupied
00:32:08At least half an hour with the police waiting outside
00:32:10Less than half an hour
00:32:13My reputation would be ruined
00:32:19Do you ever get the feeling that you are being
00:32:23That you are being used?
00:32:25You?
00:32:27Me?
00:32:29What a question
00:32:45Bravo, Edward!
00:32:46Beautifully played
00:32:48The trouble is I shall never know if I'm really any good
00:32:50Because they always let me win
00:32:51Oh, nonsense!
00:32:52Thank you for the game, sir
00:32:53Ah, Baltazzi, let that be a lesson to you for coming over and winning our derby last year
00:32:56But I hope to do it again, sir
00:32:58Against my horse?
00:32:59I should consider that a monstrous imperfect
00:33:02By the way
00:33:03Didn't I see your sister and her two little nieces just now?
00:33:06Oh, not so little now, sir, young ladies
00:33:09They were shy in case you didn't recognize them
00:33:11Nonsense!
00:33:12Ask them not to run away
00:33:14After I've cooled off, I'd like to see them again
00:33:15All right, sir
00:33:17Your highness
00:33:18This will help you
00:33:19Oh, my dear
00:33:20Thank you so much
00:33:21And who's your friend?
00:33:22He lives in Vienna
00:33:23His sister's Helen Vetsera
00:33:26I haven't heard of him, have you?
00:33:29Widow of Baron Vetsera
00:33:30Not of the old nobility
00:33:31Never received at court
00:33:34But he's a member of the jockey club
00:33:36I made him one myself
00:33:38One thing about you, Edward
00:33:39When you're a friend
00:33:40You're a friend
00:33:41Come and meet them
00:33:42After the game
00:33:43After the game
00:33:55And on the far side?
00:33:57The Archduke
00:34:01Austrier's riddle with Archdukes
00:34:03So you must mean the crown prince
00:34:05I don't see his wife here
00:34:07If only she went about with him more
00:34:09We might hear fewer stories
00:34:11Oh, there you are
00:34:14My dear Baroness
00:34:16And you, you little imp
00:34:18Imp of a young woman
00:34:20My, how you've grown
00:34:22Anna
00:34:24And George
00:34:25How delightful it is
00:34:26To see you all once more
00:34:28Highness, may I present
00:34:29Duke Michael of Braganza
00:34:33Know your uncle well
00:34:35Fished with him in Portugal
00:34:37Never caught much though
00:34:39Maria
00:34:41Come with me a minute
00:34:43I've thought up a little plot
00:34:44I want you to play a part in it
00:34:45Yes
00:34:46I understand that the family
00:34:47Of my old friend
00:34:48Malpazzi
00:34:49Has not yet been received at court
00:34:52We are not, sir
00:34:53From the old nobility
00:34:54Poppycock
00:34:55I regard this as a personal insult
00:34:58As soon as he's finished his game
00:34:59I shall be sinful to the crown prince
00:35:02To dear highness
00:35:03We say thank you
00:35:05But having already had the pleasure
00:35:07Experience would be a better word
00:35:09Of meeting the archduke Rudolf
00:35:11We see no further purpose in meeting him again
00:35:14Unless
00:35:16To convey to him a simple message
00:35:18What message?
00:35:19Please tell his imperial highness
00:35:21That deception is unkind
00:35:23And it has confirmed one thing
00:35:24I was taught at school
00:35:26But not your trust in princes
00:35:27I was taught at school
00:35:28I was taught at school
00:35:29I was taught at school
00:35:30I was taught at school
00:35:31I was taught at school
00:35:32But not your trust in princes
00:35:33Before the school
00:35:34Too much
00:35:36To know
00:35:37We've seen
00:35:46We've seen
00:35:47There's tragedy
00:35:51From home
00:35:53We've seen
00:35:55We have our sisters
00:35:58We have our kids
00:35:59Who will
00:36:01придется
00:36:03THE END
00:36:33What is she wearing? Wallpaper?
00:36:36It looks more like an old flag.
00:36:40That daughter of hers, that Liesel, is very pretty.
00:36:45But stupid, almost as stupid as her father, who wants to be an ambassador, I hear.
00:36:57The event of my falling asleep, my dear Countess, I should expect you to wake me with your customer attacked.

00:41:01I shall have arranged to have her presented in the emperor's box.
00:41:04Me? To meet the emperor?
00:41:06Well, come quickly before the interval is over.
00:41:08Now, a little color won't hurt you.
00:41:11There.
00:41:12And remember, always show your best features.
00:41:15Tell me.
00:41:16Hmm?
00:41:17Tell me.
00:41:18When do I tell the emperor about Papa wanting to be ambassador to Constantinople?
00:41:22Well, darling, not right away.
00:41:23Perhaps it would be better if you were introduced to the crown prince first.
00:41:28When do I tell the prince then?
00:41:29Well, there are moments with these things.
00:41:30Women, however stupid she is, should...
00:41:35It might be better if you were not to say anything at all.
00:41:40Some women are most attractive when they are speechless.
00:41:43Here we are.
00:41:44Let me see you.
00:41:45There.
00:41:46Yes, but in the Balkans, as you know, one must always face the turkish situation.
00:41:50Oh, your highness.
00:41:51Excuse me, your excellency.
00:41:52My dear cousin.
00:41:53Thank you for saving me from the Balkan situation.
00:41:56The young Baroness Takao.
00:41:58Yes, I am.
00:41:59The daughter of Baroness Takao.
00:42:02Champagne?
00:42:15Giselle was never my favorite ballet.
00:42:20Strikes me as being mawkishly sentimental.
00:42:23Well, run along, my darling.
00:42:27You won't have far to go.
00:42:29Your box is just opposite.
00:42:31I don't need a procurist, cousin.
00:42:46Not yet.
00:42:48Not yet.
00:43:01But the boys and the girls are salespeople.
00:43:07They're ham a book.
00:43:12So, as a player's XD and someone played the dancing team.
00:43:17You can't 출wick.

00:56:49Afraid of what?
00:56:50Oh, I don't know of this gloomy place or of me.
00:56:59You know, I think if you were there, I wouldn't be frightened of anything.
00:57:03So this is where you live.
00:57:08And these are yours.
00:57:11Now, when I'm thinking of you, I'll be saying, at this moment, he's sitting in his big chair.
00:57:18His ugly big chair, if I can tell the truth.
00:57:19He's writing at his desk.
00:57:26Oh, that's the wedding ring of Louis IX of France.
00:57:32Saint Louis.
00:57:33It's not gold.
00:57:35Not even silver.
00:57:37Like most marriages, it's base metal.
00:57:40Iron.
00:57:42His fingers were almost as small as mine.
00:57:46The wedding ring of a saint.
00:57:48Imagine.
00:57:48I don't care for that.
00:57:52Do you always have him sitting opposite you?
00:57:55My cousin Ludwig gave it to me.
00:57:58To comfort me, he said.
00:58:00For being alive.
00:58:01But being alive is so...
00:58:03Ludwig, you mean King Ludwig of Bavaria?
00:58:06The one who...
00:58:06Lies!
00:58:08These stories are all lies.
00:58:09He was just...
00:58:11Just...
00:58:13Strange.
00:58:14He was not insane.
00:58:16Nobody knows for sure how he died.
00:58:18Won't you take off your hat and coat?
00:58:31There's no mirror.
00:58:35In the next room.
00:58:46Is that a princess bed?
00:58:48It's good enough.
00:58:49I don't sleep much anyway.
00:58:55Candice Larish found in my nose.
00:58:58I look awful.
00:58:59Is something the matter?
00:59:11No.
00:59:12You're just...
00:59:13Different from what I thought you'd be.
00:59:16Different?
00:59:17How?
00:59:20No, even that's not true.
00:59:22I knew how you were,
00:59:23but I just hoped you'd be different.
00:59:25It would have been simpler, that's all.
00:59:27I don't understand.
00:59:30So many come here with the Countess Larish
00:59:32who powders their little noses
00:59:34as they turn in through the gates.
00:59:36The beginning is always the same
00:59:37and the end is always the same
00:59:38and what comes in between is...
00:59:43Well, not for you.
00:59:48I found that out.
00:59:49I'm glad you found that out.
00:59:51Now.
00:59:53Thank you, Highness.
00:59:55Thank Rudolph.
00:59:57I thank Rudolph.
00:59:59And when will I see him again?
01:00:02Tomorrow.
01:00:03I'll find the way.
01:00:04Such a waste.
01:00:17Caviar.
01:00:18Champagne.
01:00:20And make sure that they are wasted
01:00:22once my back is turned.
01:00:24You really meant it about
01:00:26not putting your trust in princes.
01:00:30I did.
01:00:30Would you get Bradfish?
01:00:34The Baroness is leaving.
01:00:36Highness.
01:00:36Good night, my love.
01:00:59What a lovely thing to say.
01:01:01Good night, my love.
01:01:18Good night.
01:01:45Good night.
01:01:47Good night.
01:01:48All right, Hoyos, off you go.
01:02:18Will it always be like this?
01:02:44Not always.
01:02:45I'm glad.
01:02:46But for the moment, it's enjoyable.
01:02:48But after a while, if only you went to Habsburg, Prince.
