- Alejandro.
- Elena.
:32:04
- Armand.
- De la Vega.
:32:08
- Count.
- You know each other?
:32:10
We shared a giggle
at the buffet table.
:32:13
It seems that's not all
we have shared.
:32:15
Allow me to defuse
an awkward situation.
:32:19
Elena has portrayed you as a man
of impeccable character.
:32:21
I am honored
to be mentioned at all.
:32:23
Why, I nearly forgot we were still
married only three months ago.
:32:27
A blessing on your vineyard, count.
:32:29
Thank you for inviting us,
but we have a Mass...
:32:31
Don't be rude, Felipe. I'm just dying
to know how the lovebirds met.
:32:40
Another time.
We have many guests to greet.
:32:45
Armand, good evening.
:32:46
Governor Riley.
You honor us with your presence.
:32:50
May I present my wife, Mary.
:32:51
Your speech was
incredibly moving, count.
:32:54
I'm glad you're not running for office
against my husband.
:32:58
I wouldn't challenge the man who's
going to lead California into the Union.
:33:01
I fear there may not be
much of a Union left to join, governor.
:33:05
Everyone, may I introduce...
:33:07
...Colonel R.S. Beauregard,
of the 1 st Alabama Infantry.
:33:10
What brings you here, colonel?
:33:11
The threat of civil war, my dear.
:33:13
Once California joins the Union, the
Confederate states'll be outnumbered.
:33:18
My countrymen find that troubling.
:33:20
All this talk of politics, you know how
it bores me, Armand. Shall we dance?
:33:24
Of course. Excuse us, gentlemen.
:33:26
Ladies and gentlemen,
the imperial quadrille.
:33:39
Perhaps you shouldn't drink
on an empty stomach.
:33:41
Perhaps you should wear lipstick
if you're gonna act like my mother.
:33:55
Say the word
and I'll escort you home.
:33:57
- And leave your guests?
- In a heartbeat.
:33:59
I care for you too much to subject you
to an evening of forced smiles, Elena.
