Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent Quotes in Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

King Francis: Baroness. Did you or did you not - lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?

Queen Marie: Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: A woman would do practically anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get... a little carried away.

Marguerite: Mother, what have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both and I am ashamed to call her family.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [pushes her] How dare you turn on me, you little ingrate?

Marguerite: You see? You see what I have to put up with?

King Francis: Silence, both of you! Good Lord!

[to Jacqueline]

King Francis: Are they always like this?

Jacqueline: Worse, Your Majesty.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Jacqueline, darling, I should hate to think you had anything to do with this.

Jacqueline: [sarcastically] Of course not, Mother. I'm only here for the food.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Darling, nothing is final 'til you're dead, and even then, I'm sure God negotiates.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Go... catch a chicken.

Jacqueline: I wanted to be the peacock!

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Honestly, Jacqueline, the horse is one of God's noblest creatures.

Jacqueline: [sarcastically] Oh, well why don't I just pull the carriage while I'm at it?

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: If you think it will get us there any faster...

Jacqueline: Mother, it's only a ball.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Yes, and you're only going for the food.

Marguerite: I was not shrill, I was resonant. A courtier knows the difference.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: I very much doubt your style of resonance would be permitted in the royal court.

Marguerite: I'm not going to the Royal Court, am I, Mother? No one is, except some Spanish pig they have the nerve to call a princess.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Marguerite, precious, what do I always say about tone?

Jacqueline: A lady of breeding ought never to raise her voice any louder than the... gentle hum of a whisper in the wind.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Jacqueline, dear, do not speak unless you can improve the silence.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Jacqueline, go and boil some water.

Jacqueline: Me? Boil water?... Oh I knew it! I just knew it!

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: Where did you put the gown, Danielle?

Danielle: [raising her voice] Where are the candlesticks, and the tapestries, and the silver? Perhaps the dress is with them!

Jacqueline: Marguerite gets to do everything.

Marguerite: Oh, don't be daft, Jacqueline, the Queen doesn't even know you exist.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: What Marguerite does is for all of us, my dear. We are counting on you to help her get ready.

Jacqueline: Lovely. Next thing you know I shall be cleaning the fireplace with Danielle.
