Ambassador Mercy Quotes in Marie Antoinette (2006)

Ambassador Mercy: How pretty Madame Royale is today.

Marie Therese - 6 years: I am pleased you find me so.

Ambassador Mercy: Madame du Barry would like to offer you some diamonds.

Marie-Antoinette: I have enough diamonds.

Ambassador Mercy: Snubbing the King's favorite is publicly criticizing the King's behavior. All you need to do is say a few words to her; because of rank she is not allowed to speak to you first.

Marie-Antoinette: Well, I certainly have nothing to say to her. And why should I approve of his cavorting with a harlot?

Ambassador Mercy: [reproachfully] Your Royal Highness!

Marie-Antoinette: Well, that's what she is. Everyone knows that she's from a brothel and that title was bought for her.

Ambassador Mercy: Your mother and I are very concerned. Du Barry has been complaining to the King that you will not address her, and you cannot afford to fall out of favor with the King. Especially as your marriage... not exactly on solid ground.

Marie-Antoinette: [annoyed] Fine. I'll talk to her.

Ambassador Mercy: How pretty Madame Royale is today.

Marie Therese - 6 years: I am pleased you find me so.

Marie-Antoinette: [to her daughter] Say thank you.

Ambassador Mercy: She is certainly a daughter of France.

Marie-Antoinette: [laughingly] Oh, I know.

Marie-Antoinette: Am I to be Austrian or the Dauphine of France?

Ambassador Mercy: You must be both.
