Quotes
-
King Francis : Baroness. Did you or did you not lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?
[Rodmila is confused when asked about her lie about Danielle]
Queen Marie : Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : [nervously] A woman would do practically anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get... a little carried away.
Marguerite : Mother, what have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both, and I am ashamed to call her family!
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : [pushes Marguerite] How dare you turn on me, you little ingrate?
Marguerite : You see? You see what I have to put up with?
King Francis : [bangs his staff] Silence, both of you! Good Lord! Are they always like this?
Jacqueline : Worse, Your Majesty.
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : Jacqueline, *darling*, I'd hate to think you had anything to do with this.
Jacqueline : [pointedly] 'Course not, Mother. I'm only here for the food.

Rodmilla : [after the laundry supervisor points out their work] Marguerite.
Marguerite : What?
Rodmilla : Well, you heard the woman.
Marguerite : So did you.
Rodmilla : Yes, but I'm management.
Marguerite : Like hell you are! You're just the same as me, a big NOBODY!
Rodmilla : How dare you speak to me that way? I'm of noble blood!
Laundry Supervisor : And you are getting on my nerves.
[the supervisor knocks both of them into a vat of purple dye with a bag of laundry while laundry servants begin to laugh at them.]
Laundry Supervisor : [chuckles briefly] Now get to work.

[Marguerite has just freaked out after realizing that Danielle has been seeing the Prince]
Queen Marie : Good heavens, child, are you all right?
Marguerite : There was a bee.
-
Marguerite : I said I wanted four-minute eggs. Not four one-minute eggs, and where in GOD'S NAME is our bread?
-
Marguerite : I was not shrill, I was resonant. A courtier knows the difference.
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : I very much doubt your style of resonance would be permitted in the royal court.
Marguerite : I'm not going to the Royal Court, am I, Mother? No one is, except some Spanish pig they have the nerve to call a princess.
-
Danielle : These are my mother's!
Marguerite : Yes, and she's dead.
-
Henry : You're looking well, Marguerite.
Marguerite : You're welcome to look, Your Highness.
-
Jacqueline : Marguerite gets to do everything.
Marguerite : Oh, don't be daft, Jacqueline, the Queen doesn't even know you exist.
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : What Marguerite does is for all of us, my dear. We are counting on you to help her get ready.
Jacqueline : Lovely. Next thing you know I shall be cleaning the fireplace with Danielle.
-
Marguerite : Why don't you sleep with the pigs, cindersoot, if you insist on smelling like one.
-
Jacqueline : Next thing you know I shall be cleaning the fireplace with Danielle.
Rodmilla : Where is that girl?
Marguerite : Probably off catching rabbits with her teeth.
-
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : Oh, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence.
Danielle : What do you think you're doing?
Marguerite : Trying on my dress.
Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent : Do you honestly think that after that performance this morning I'd let you go anywhere?
Danielle : [appalled] Do you honestly think these games, these intrigues are going to win you a crown? To hunt royalty like some sport, it's disgusting!
Marguerite : You're just jealous.
-
Jacqueline : How was I to know he'd run out the side door? He was suppose to be getting married.
Marguerite : I heard the Prince talked to you. What did he say?
Jacqueline : Well, I can't be sure. It all happened so quickly. But I think what he said was.. "It serves me right for choosing a foreigner over your... sister."
[Rodmilla and Marguerite giggle.]
Rodmilla : Well, very good. Perhaps we should just let him fret about it for a few days.
