- Johanna Augusta Franziska: Hmmm... I met him in Budapest. Didn't like him very much.
- Baron Holenia: Nonsense! Since then he's inherited half of Buda and a large part of Pest.
- Baron Holenia: I am not narrow-minded! I could even forgive him being an American if he belonged to one of those Vander, Astor, uh, Rocker, uh, families. But a Mr. Smith?
