Countess Marie: I met Franz at a musical party. I remember he played a ballade in A-flat major by Chopin. I thought I'd never seen anything as beautiful as Franz looked when he sat at the piano. I... I wanted to cry. He watched me as he played; Franz never fails to notice a pretty woman in his audience. Afterward, he followed me into the hall. I remember he said, "May I escort you somewhere, madame?" And I said, "Yes." And he said, "Where?" And I said, "Paradise." He didn't smile - he said, "I'll call a carriage." Princess Carolyne: Did he? Countess Marie: What? Princess Carolyne: Drive you there - to paradise? Countess Marie: [a pause, and a meaningful look as she turns to leave the room] He doesn't know the road, madame.
