• Queen Louise : All this - the first time you meet?

  Count Alfred Renard : Yes.

  Queen Louise : Oh, oh, but, if it's like this at first, what can be left for later?

  Count Alfred Renard : If she will like.

• Count Alfred Renard : But, how am I going to punish you? And you must be punished!

  Queen Louise : Yes.

  Count Alfred Renard : And severely!

  Queen Louise : Yes!

• Queen Louise : It never seems to occur to you Gentlemen that there might possibly be some men who would enjoy being my husband, even if I were not a Queen. My face isn't actually painful to look at. My complexion's quite good. And in case your too serious-minded to notice such things, let me inform you my legs are perfect!

• Queen Louise : Count. Count Alfred, I understand you've been seriously involved in a disgraceful affair with a woman.

  Count Alfred Renard : No, Your Majesty - with several.

  Queen Louise : Aren't you ashamed of yourself.

  Count Alfred Renard : [Shaking his head no]  Yes, Your Majesty.

• Queen Louise : I shall have to punish you very severely.

  Count Alfred Renard : Yes, Your Majesty.

  Queen Louise : Otherwise, you'll - start all over again.

  Count Alfred Renard : [Excited]  Yes!

• Queen Louise : And you call that a punishment? You're the most impudent man I've ever met! You seem to forget you're talking to your Queen.

• Queen Louise : [singing]  Understand me, you'll keep watch all day for me?

  Count Alfred Renard : A good night watchman, I will be. I've learned that duty in Paris. You leave it to me.

  Queen Louise : You better wait and see. We shall find how good you are.

  Count Alfred Renard : I've had no complaints so far.

  Queen Louise : You mean?

  Count Alfred Renard : Anything to please the Queen!

• Queen Louise : Very well, forget it. I'm no longer Queen Louise the first of Sylvania, but a woman. A mere woman. And you're meeting me for the first time. What would you do? What would you do?
