301 Have you been paying any attention? 302 Your mother is relying on you to smooth over this crisis. 303 Where will I be if there's a rupture between our two families? 304 Am I to be Austrian or the dauphine of France? 305 You must be both. 306 - Well, I heard that she bought a boy. - No. 307 Yes, I heard. She found a peasant boy by the side of the street... 308 ...and took him in like a stray dog. 309 Well, it's not as if she can have one of her own. 310 Maybe if she spent less time with Lamballe... 311 ...and more time with her husband... 312 ...there wouldn't be a problem. 313 Well, let's not forget she is an Austrian spy. 314 And I can't imagine that's very warm in the bedroom. 315 Come, my little truffle cake. 316 I'm going to ravage you. 317 - Will you come back right away? - Yes, my sweet. 318 Just a quick hunting excursion, we'll be back straightaway. 319 I will be humiliated before the court and the public... 320 ...if your brother's new wife becomes pregnant before I do. 321 When I return from Saint-Cloud, you can be sure... 322 ...that I will resume my regime. 323 And hopefully everything will go swimmingly. 324 I have absolutely no intention of breaking the alliance with Austria. 325 I am very relieved to hear that, Your Majesty. 326 But what on earth is going on with that young couple? 327 It's a disaster. 328 Send for Dr. Lassonne to visit them. 329 Yes, of course. 330 Do you find your body responsive? 331 What? 332 Do you find your body responsive? 333 What do you eat for breakfast? 334 Hot chocolate. 335 Hot chocolate. 336 Hello? 337 Hello, Yolande. 338 How lovely to see you. 339 Yes. This is the Duchesse de Polignac. 340 - Hello. - Your Majesty. 341 - We haven't seen you for a while. - I know. 342 I've been in St. Petersburg, where I met Dimitri. 343 Isn't he divine? Have you ever been with a Russian? 344 - No, I... - They're so bossy. 345 Look how fat the marquis's gotten. Hope he doesn't break the chair. 346 Is he still sleeping with Camille? 347 Anyway, I must be off. It was lovely to meet you. 348 Quiet. 349 Applause is not usually permitted at court performances. 350 Why not? It was wonderful.
