Quotes

Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : My dear, this time tomorrow night, we should be on the boat - headed for deep water and big fish.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Oh, I hate the idea of smelling fish over the weekend.
Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : Tut-tut, my dear. There are a lot worst things you can smell over the weekend than fish!
-
Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : I'm a very lucky man, especially in this day of intrigue and scandal, to have a wife like you.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Scandal?
Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : Yes, today, I hear that old von Rappard's wife has a lover.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : What do you expect? He's 80, she's 23. And he has asthma!
-
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : I'm very much afraid, Nicky, we have a little scandal in our own house.
Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : Scandal, here in this house? Impossible.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Nevertheless, it greatly concerns Albert.
Baron 'Nicky' von Burgen : Albert? But, he just got married. Surely, he's not dissatisfied already!
-
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Do you realize that this is blackmail!
Karl Schneider : That's just the word I was trying to remember. But, not really, Madame. Merely a desire to remain longer in the employ of so charming a lady. I'm sorry I have to put the matter before you this way. But, that's what happens to servants. Sometimes our duties are not pleasant.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : You are sure you won't take money?
Karl Schneider : Well, not for the present.
-
Albert, the Baron's Butler : Madame, oh, it's ridiculous. Well, the police will deal with him.
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Police? Oh, no, no, no, Albert! We can't do dat!
-
Baroness Eloise von Burgen : Albert, about Anna, she is young. No match for a man like Karl. You must be patient wit' her. Women sometimes do foolish things, just for lack of understanding.
