Quote
[Sydney and President D'Astier were conversing in French during the state dinner]
President Andrew Shepherd:
Sydney, you didn't dissolve our trade agreements, did you?
Sydney Ellen Wade:
No, I just said we're sitting in this beautiful room, listening to the music of this wonderful orchestra, and I wondered why nobody was dancing.
President René Jean D'Astier:
And I informed Miss Wade that in my country, a guest at the palace of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette would soon find their head in a guillotine if they made the impertinent gesture of dancing without so much as a by-your-leave from the King and the Queen.
[laughs]
A. J. MacInerney:
I bet no one accused Louis of being soft on crime.
Sydney Ellen Wade:
There's a lesson there, Mr. President.
President Andrew Shepherd:
More beheadings at the White House!
