  • [last lines]
  • Filippa: But this is not the end, Babette. I feel for certain that this is not the end. In paradise you will be the great artist God meant you to be... Ah, how you will enchant the angels!
  • Babette: I have a favor to ask, ladies.
  • Martine: Certainly, Babette.
  • Filippa: Sit down, Babette.
  • Babette: I'd like to prepare the celebration dinner for the pastor's birthday by myself.
  • Martine: But dear Babette, we didn't intend to give a dinner party. My sister and I were thinking of a modest supper followed by a cup of coffee.
  • Filippa: You know we've never offered our guests anything more.
  • Babette: I'd like to prepare a French dinner.
  • Martine: A French dinner?
  • Filippa: A French dinner?
  • Babette: Papin understood that.
  • Filippa: Achille Papin?
  • Babette: Yes. He'd say, "Through all the world there goes on long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost."
  • Filippa: [singing] Oh, watch the day hurry off once again, As the sun sinks into the western sea, The time for us to rest approaches, Oh God, you who dwell, In heavenly light, Who reign on high in heaven's hall, Be our infinite light in the valley of night, The sand in our hourglass will soon run out, The day is conquered by the night, The glories of the world are ending, So brief their day, So swift their flight, God, my your brightness never dim, Nor mercy's door be closed to man.
  • Filippa: Surely that's not wine?
  • Babette: It's a Clos de Vougeot 1845! From Chez Philippe on rue Montorgeuil.
  • Martine: Well, it had to happen. The Lord gave...
  • Filippa: And the Lord took away.
  • Filippa: Martine, I'm worried about this.
  • Martine: I'm not too happy about this French dinner either.
