:03:03
ln the name of the Queen!
:03:10
Noel, the Marquis de Maynes.
:03:15
Your Majesty.
:03:19
l have never seen France
more radiant than at this moment.
:03:22
We were not expecting you till tomorrow.
:03:24
You summoned me.
l rode all day and through the night.
:03:29
Leave us, please.
:03:34
- l am angry with you, sir.
- Angry, Your Majesty?
:03:37
Very angry! You know why, of course.
:03:41
- Could it be for fighting Count de Talles?
- Among others.
:03:44
- l only scratched him a little.
- They say you crippled him for life.
:03:47
And five minutes later,
you killed the Baron Marblaux.
:03:50
An unfortunate accident.
He ran into my sword.
:03:52
And that brilliant conversationalist,
the Duke de Ramont.
:03:55
The Duke fights tolerably well.
He had a fair chance.
:03:59
He had no chance at all.
Now, listen to me, cousin.
:04:02
l will not have you killing off my nobles,
either piecemeal or in bunches.
:04:07
ln times like these,
the nobility must stick together.
:04:11
Now, what was it all about,
this latest bloodletting?
:04:14
- l really forget.
- What was it all about?
:04:18
De Talles had the effrontery to put himself
on the right of the Cardinal at dinner.
:04:22
As for Ramont, let me see...
:04:26
As for Ramont?
:04:29
A delicate matter.
:04:31
He spoke disrespectfully of...
:04:35
- Forgive me.
- Of a woman?
:04:39
A goddess.
:04:43
Now, the thing that l want...
:04:50
l found one of these under my pillow.
:04:52
This morning, the King discovered one
on his breakfast tray.
:04:55
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."
:04:58
The people that write such things,
what do they really want?
