Quotes 

• [about Danielle, who is hiding behind a haystack] 

  Henry : You know her! Please, I must find her. Where is she staying?

  Gustav : Uh, I believe, your Highness, that she is staying with a cousin. The, uh, Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent.

  Henry : Hm. That does present a problem.

  Gustav : But, I do know that she is there. Alone. By herself. At this very moment.

  Henry : Excellent.

  [pause] 

  Henry : Nice painting.

  [Henry rides off] 

  Danielle : [emerging from hiding]  Gustav, you horrible little *snipe*!

  Gustav : Did you hear? He likes my work!

  Danielle : And he is heading for my house!

  Gustav : Then I suggest you run.

• Leonardo da Vinci : Come, let's see these paintings of yours.

  Gustav : Now?

  Leonardo da Vinci : When you're as old as I am, son, now is all you've got.

• Gustav : [as Danielle is about to change into a dress]  Have you lost your marbles? Do you know what the punishment is... for servants who dress above their station? Five days in the stocks.

  Danielle : You'd do the same for me, admit it.

  Gustav : Me? Pretend to be a courtier? Prancing round like some nobleman when I've never been to court. And neither have you!

  Danielle : Then I won't recongnised. Hand me that gown so I can be on my way.

  [Gustav hands Danielle the gown] 

  Gustav : They'll never buy it. You are too sweet.

  Danielle : And they'll never buy a servant with twenty gold francs either. I am Maurice's only hope.

  Gustav : And the Baroness, what did you tell her?

  Danielle : I am picking wildflowers. Gustav, can you still see her?

  Gustav : [he gazes out the window]  They're buying a brooch.

  Danielle : Unbelievable. She ignores the manor, blames us for her debt... and still pretends to have money to burn. Don't you dare laugh. I'm coming out.

  [she steps out and looks stunning in her dress, Gustav is amazed] 

  Danielle : The shoes are too big.

  Gustav : Nobody will be looking at your feet.

  Danielle : Yards of fabric and I still feel naked.

  Gustav : If you're going to be a noblewoman... you must play the part.

  [he raises Danielle's chin] 

  Gustav : You look down to no-one.

  Danielle : I am just a servant in a nice dress.

  Gustav : Come.

  [he takes Danielle's hand] 

  Gustav : We have to do something with that hair.

• Gustav : And I suppose if you saw him again, you'd simply...

  Danielle : I would walk right up to him and say, 'Your Highness, my family is your family, please take them away!'

  Gustav : Good! Because here's your big chance, he's headed this way.

• Danielle : He is heading towards my house.

  Gustav : Then I suggest you run.

• Gustav : Have you lost your marbles?
