Sydney, you didn't dissolve our trade agreements, did you? No, I just said we're sitting...

Something wrong with the clip?

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!
