Well, we'll invite them to the theater
for my first performance. 252
- We'll need an audience.
- Splendid. 253
Bravo! 254
Bravo! 255
Bravo! 256
And in the end, I don't know
how they go out. 257
- It's always raining there.
- Not like here. It's always raining. 258
They are cheerful, I must admit. 259
There's someone to see you. 260
Oh, who? 261
Good afternoon! 262
You've come to pay me a visit.
How gallant you are. 263
- Have you seen Marie Thérèse today?
- She's been married off. 264
Can't we at least wait
until she's talking? 265
If you insist. 266
Come home. We're having a ball for
the soldiers who fought in America. 267
I will. 268
I hope there are
some handsome generals. 269
They've been away from women
a long time, you know. 270
May I also present Comte d'Estaing. 271
Excellent victory on the capture
of Grenada. Excellent. 272
Congratulations. 273
Your Majesty, may I present
Colonel Smythe. 274
May I also present Count Fersen. 275
Count Fersen. 276
Pleasure's all mine. 277
Thank you, sir. Thank you. 278
- What is this?
- It's a wild strawberry. 279
Try it. It's quite exquisite. 280
Honestly! The Marriage of Figaro.
You'd love it. 281
The servants take over the house. 282
It's superb. 283
The women were carrying
the verses around on their fans. 284
Best thing I've seen for years.
You enjoyed it, didn't you? 285
I think we saw it together. 286
It was over three hours.
Far too long for me. 287
- Cheers, everybody.
- To the queen. 288
To our queen. 289
Have a good evening. 290
And to Raumont
for bringing the oysters. 291
To Raumont for the oysters. 292
And to Lamballe
for bringing the flowers. 293
For the flowers, beautiful flowers. 294
And to Fersen for coming
all the way from Sweden. 295
- Yes.
- To Sweden. 296
All the way from Sweden. 297
That is a very long journey,
I must say. 298
- How long was it?
- Took about ten days. 299
Yes, ten days
is a very long time. 300
Personally, I can't travel
that much myself.
