[from trailer]

Marie-Antoinette: This is ridiculous.

Marie-Antoinette: [taking tea in the royal chambers] Have you come to take me home?

Emperor Joseph: [amused] Unfortunately, I can not kidnap the queen of France... Is your hair quite tall enough today?

[she laughs]

Emperor Joseph: Maybe you can keep a pet in there or something.

Marie-Antoinette: I wish I could go with you.

Count Fersen: I should kidnap you.

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: So, I hear you like to make keys as a hobby?

Princesse de Lamballe: Can't you do something?

Marie-Antoinette: I'm not going to acknowledge it.

Marie-Antoinette: [her dog, Mops, is taken away] Mops!

Comtesse de Noailles: You may have as many French dogs as you like.

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

Ambassador Mercy: You must be both.

Marie-Antoinette: [in the gardens] Welcome to my little village!

Princesse de Lamballe: I love it!

Duchesse de Polignac: It's heaven here!

Marie-Antoinette: [referring to her hair] It's not too much, is it?

Léonard: Oh, no!

Marie-Antoinette: I shall never forget that you are responsible for my happiness.

Duc de Choiseul: And that of France.

Marie-Antoinette: If you weaken the monarchy, you undermine the entire nation.

Jeanne St. Remy de Valois: You weakened yourselves long before a necklace became the issue.

Marie-Antoinette: I shall give them what they want. I will sit here quietly in my disgrace. It's what they've always wanted!

Marie-Antoinette: [to Breteuil] Why do the people hate me? 'Wasn't always so.

Marie Antoinette: Oh, would it be tactless to ask, what the poor creatures want?

Marquis de Varennes: They protest they haven't any bread, Your Majesty! Ha-ha-ha.

Marie Antoinette: Oh, no bread, indeed. Then, let them eat cake! Ha-ha-ha!
