Quote
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
This is the Order of Saint Catherine. May you both wear it in good health, and be careful it doesn't scratch you.
[to Count Alexei]
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Don't stand around here doing nothing. Pin this on Catherine.
[to Princess Johanna]
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Get up.
[to the Chancellor]
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
What do you think of Catherine?
Chancelor Alexei Bestuchef:
I can only admire your judgment, Your Imperial Majesty.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
That's the chancellor. Steals more money from me in a week than I can collect in taxes in a year. Doctor, come here! What do you think of my taste in women, Doctor? Looks healthy, doesn't she? Just what we need to breed sons for Russia.
Count Lestoq:
With your permission, Your Highness.
[He raises Catherine's arms and puts his ear to her chest]
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
How was the journey, comfortable?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, Your Majesty.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Are you happy to be here?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, Your Majesty.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Are you going to love your new country?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, Your Majesty.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Do you promise to be a loyal subject?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, Your Majesty.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
And don't make too many new friends, and no intrigue and gossip. I have my hands full now.
Count Lestoq:
[He emerges from beneath Catherine's cape without his wig]
Perfect, Your Imperial Majesty. She will give us no trouble.
[Catherine hands him his wig]
Count Lestoq:
Your Highness.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Someday I'll have every doctor thrown out of the country. And now, Catherine, before you go to your rooms, is there any wish I can grant you?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
I would like to see the grand duke.
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
[Grand Duke Peter enters with his entourage]
That's a fine way to receive your bride. I suppose you had more important things to do. I told you to be here on time. Now go on! Kiss each other!
[He kisses Catherine]
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
Now remember, Catherine, the first child must be a boy. That's why we had you brought here - to provide Russia with an heir to the throne. A fine, bouncing, healthy heir. You understand me, Catherine?
