Empress Maria Theresa Quotes in Marie Antoinette (1938)

Empress Maria Theresa: Toni, France is not Austria. You must accustom yourself to new people and new ways. Count Mercy is my ambassador at Versailles. He will guide you when he can. The rest, you must trust to your husband.

Marie: I will! Of course I will! Is he handsome?

Empress Maria Theresa: There's time enough for that later. You go to bed now.

Marie: They say Versailles is too marvelous!

Empress Maria Theresa: [More firmly now] I said to bed.

Marie: Yes, mama.

Empress Maria Theresa: Versailles is no more marvelous than Vienna.

Marie: No, mama.

Empress Maria Theresa: [Kissing her cheek] Goodnight.

Marie: Oh, goodnight, mama and thank you, thank you, thank you! Mama! Oh, mama, just think of it! I shall be queen! Queen of France!
