Ingrid Baier: Ida
Quotes
-
Prince Orlofsky : [addressing everybody at the ball] Everybody should entertain himself as it amuses him. You all know my device: "Chacun à son gout!"
Adele : [confused] What does "Chacun à son gout" mean?
Ida : [clueless] What do I know?
-
Adele : [at the fancy ball, she throws her right hand up high in the air, waves, and hollers] Ida! Yoohoo!
Ida : [hurries over to her] What are you doing here? Where did you get that fantastic dress?
Adele : It fits me wonderfully, no?
Ida : Who invited you?
Adele : [takes a note out of her purse, and shows it to her] You did. You wrote me this note.
Ida : [looks at the note; neither Adele nor Ida know it was written by Falke] Someone has played a dumb joke on you.
Adele : [upset] A joke? On me? Such insolence! Will I have to leave now?
Ida : Not now, that they've already let you in. Just don't talk too much.
Ida : [poses saucily like a teapot, with a hand on her hip] And speak with your eyes.
Adele : [bats her eyelashes] That, I can do.
Ida : And when you are presented to the prince, do a deep curtsy. And the other gentlemen, just offer your hand real graciously to be kissed.
