:53:02
But why?
:53:04
The Princess has asked La Montausier
to sacrifice her canaries.
:53:07
She refused.
:53:09
So, the Princess
told Her Majesty...
:53:12
and she commanded La Montausier
to give them to me. Her Majesty.
:53:17
But canaries...
:53:19
are so small.
:53:21
I don't think that their hearts will be
enough to ease the Prince's pain.
:53:26
See, all this rich food
is very bad for his gout.
:53:29
I can't serve him omelet to celebrate
the visit of the King of France!
:53:32
It 's not your fault. I just wish
I had some better birds, that 's all.
:53:38
I have my parrots.
:53:39
But surely, Vatel,
you will not sacrifice...
:53:42
If the Prince's pain
gets too great to bear...
:53:44
send to me for my parrots.
:53:46
Tell the Princess
the canaries are too small.
:53:49
Demaury!
:53:53
Return those birds to
Madame de Montausier's room.
:54:08
Condé is lucky. This banquet
would shame a Roman emperor.
:54:14
Who is this Vatel?
Where does he come from?
:54:16
Nowhere.
The slums of Paris.
:54:19
He was apprentice to Eberhardt 's,
I believe.
:54:21
Eberhardt 's? Fromlle Saint-Louis?
My mother swore by Eberhardt 's.
:54:25
So did your father. Although I don't
think he went there for the pastries.
:54:30
Vatel, I was just telling
the Duchess here...
:54:36
It 's quite true.
:54:38
No one knows more about the brothels
of thelle-Saint Louis...
:54:40
than the Marquis de Lauzun.
:54:47
I think he's just insulted you,
but it 's hard to tell.
:54:50
That 's a rare gift.
If you punish him for it...
:54:52
I'll tell everyone
your favorite perversion.
:54:59
Fetch Bourdelot.
