Quote
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Who is this officer?
Count Alexei:
Orloff, Your Majesty. Captain in charge of the barracks.
Capt. Gregori Orloff:
Your Majesty, your visit here is the greatest honor in my life.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
I've heard a good deal about you, Captain... from the ladies.
[She walks through the barracks, pulls straw from a mattress, and toys with a stalk while regarding Count Alexei]
Princess Sophia Frederica:
I didn't expect to see you here, Your Excellency.
Count Alexei:
Why not, Your Majesty? This is my pet regiment. You look ravishing.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Now there's another good-looking soldier. Come here, Lieutenant. What's your name?
Lt. Dmitri:
Dmitri, Your Majesty.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
And your duties, Dmitri?
Lt. Dmitri:
In charge of the night watch, Your Majesty.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
It must be cold at night... sometimes.
Lt. Dmitri:
Sometimes, Your Majesty.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Anyway, I'm certain you're very efficient, Lieutenant. Is he, Captain? Tell me something about him.
Capt. Gregori Orloff:
He's very efficient, Your Majesty. He came to join our regiment about a year ago from the Swedish front, where he fought bravely for about two years. He's also distinguished himself by exemplary bravery on the Turkish border.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
This should have been brought to our attention before. I can't understand why such a brave man hasn't been decorated. His Excellency doesn't mind?
Count Alexei:
[Catherine starts to remove one of Count Alexei's medals]
Not if Her Majesty will tell me why she continues to avoid me.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Her Majesty will tell you tonight, if you will call on her.
Count Alexei:
With pleasure, Your Majesty.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
[She pins the medal on Lt. Dmitri]
For bravery... in action. See that you do justice to it in future emergencies. And now, Captain, tell me about yourself.
Capt. Gregori Orloff:
Your Majesty, I'm distressed at my neglect at not having rewarded Lieutenant Dmitri before. With your permission, Your Majesty.
[He pulls out a handful of diamonds and gives one to Dmitri]
Princess Sophia Frederica:
[Catherine leans in to examine the jewels and picks one up]
Rich too, hmm?
