Sissi: The Young Empress

SISSI, EMPRESS

- Well, Baron...|- Your Majesty?

Are you happy with|the end of the wedding?

Sure.

The work have been accumulated...

and I have a little time|for the Empress.

The ministers are|already reunited.

Send them in.

Please, gentlemen.

Excellency, make your report.

The fact that created some|problems in the Congress...

was the amnesty that Your|Majesty gave to the Hungarians.

And I do not hesitate to say that...

All the ministers were|against this amnesty.

Why?

We all have the same opinion|that the amnesty represents...

a new and great danger|to the Austrian nation.

It will be worst if we|consider them our enemies.

I will give the amnesty,|even against the ministers will.

I could...

The amnesty will be|given immediately.

The countess Sofia!

I need to speak in private with|the baroness Esterhazy!

Baroness Esterhazy, I nominated you|master of the Empress...

because of the great|confidence I have in yours.

Everything the Empress does,|it must be informed to me.

This way, I'll have conditions to conduct|better the life of this young lady!

Concerning to the mutual confidence...

I'll report myself|the best way is possible.

What do you have to report?

One more time,|they brought a new parrot.

I ask your permission|to lock it in the backyard...

because the scream is terrible.

If the Empress likes animals so much...

you must keep them|where she wants!

And if the noise bothers you...

I suggest you to|put cotton in your ears!

Open this drawer.

- What book is that?|- The Empress' diary.

Give me it.

Do you have anything|else to report me?

The Empress complains of|our installations for the bath.

Maria Teresa lived|and took bath here.

For someone that is empress|by accident, it's very good!

- What else? - She asked if...

colonel Bckl from Ischl|did not show up for an audience.

Bckl? From Ischl?

I do not know him!

So, mister, look at me!

Don't you remember me, mister?

- Have you a hair cut?|- Try to concentrate.

- Yes, the mustache's gone!|- More concentration!

Bckl! You turned to a colonel!

And I was transferred to Vienna!

Really? Congratulations!|And how did you get it?

Remember the ring the Empress,|that was a princess, pledged?

Yes, to send|a telegram.

I gave this ring back to the|Empress in an audience...

and she ordered me|to be transferred...

to stay at the entire|disposition of the Empress!

- My dear Elisabeth.|- Our Elisabeth!

No, my Elisabeth!

My friend, something|awful happened to me.

What was it?

Imagine it, I fell in love|with the Empress!

- What?|- When she looks at me...

my heart blows up...|I start trembling.

When she smiles,|I feel I could faint!

- Bckl!|- The smile! That lovely smile!

That's love.

I'll never learn|to speak Croatia.

- What will we do now?|- Hungarian class.

Well, I like everything|that's Hungarian!

- You too, isn't it?|- I hate everything that's Hungarian.

Ah, yes, you lost|your husband in Hungary.

I'm sorry to wake up|this so bad recollection.

What are you bringing,|baroness?

The Royal Highness Sofia asked me|to give this to Your Majesty...

the instructions for the ceremonial|procedures from the Spain Court...

the ones that Your Majesty|must study completely.

Nineteen pages?

What does it mean:|It'll have access to the palace...

only noble women|and honor ladies?

The noble women and the ladies|are the ones that receive...

authorization to come into|the Empress facilities.

And it's pre notified|that these people belong to...

twenty-three most|traditional families...

and two hundred and twenty nine|ladies of high level.

Well, I'll see if I can|understand this silly thing.

Baroness Bellegarde?

Send Doctor Falk in...

just for me|to relax my mind.

Were you in session|with the Emperor?

Yes, Your Highness!

I can see on your face that is not|nice what you have to tell me.

I am afraid that Your Highness|will be chocked as much as I am.

No more grammar for today.

If Your Majesty allow me...

I wanted to tell you about the|beauty of Hungary.

It is a pleasure! Did you|bring anymore pictures?

Sure!|Some of Putza...

Some of the Hungary plans.

with their sheet flock|and bull-calf.

This is the Real Palace...

that is not used|for 354 years.

When will we have a king again...

a king that respects the freedom|of the Hungary people?

I will do everything I can|to help your country.

It is strange...

but I feel myself more related|to the Hungary land...

than to any other country,|even I do not know it.

I can see it!

But also the Hungarians that|also know you...

only through what I write...

have for Your Majesty|a great respect...

because they know that you are|their guard angel!

Did you really take the state of siege|off and gave amnesty to the Hungarians?

Yes, mother.

The amnesty is for the commander of the|rebels, the Baron Andrassy, as well?

Of course it is.

In my country|where I am so happy...

I do not want to see|anybody sad!

But Franz, you can not conduct a|nation with your feelings.

We had set that any|rebel act...

would be punished very hard.

But the peace we conquer|through the love.

I can already imagine who put|this idea on your mind.

You are right

Sissy!

And I am so grateful|to her for that!

I am curious to know if|you will be grateful for this.

What is that?

Her diary.

How did you get|her diary?

It does not matter!|Listen to this!

I do not want to read it|without her permission.

So I will read this poem for you.

"The fresh spring|is coming"

"And bring to the trees|a green freshing"

"The birds learn the new songs..."

"and the flowers|see a gorgeous splendor"

It is very beautiful, mother!

"But is here the home|of spring?"

"This so weird|and rich?"

"I am in search for|my sunny land"

"I am in search for|my rest at the beach!"

Must I go on?

I would like you|to leave me alone.

I can notice that new|habits grew between us.

- Who is next?|- Our representative in Paris.

- Get him in two minutes.|- Yes, Your Majesty!

Hi, Franz!

I'm leaving, but|I was missing you.

Do you still love me?

- Neither a little bit!|- Why?

Because you don't care|about me during the day.

Come on, me? You are|the one who does that!

You are always behind|that desk.

Sometimes I don't remember|the way you are. Yes, it's true!

Yes, I am jealous...

Jealous?|Of who?

Of this desk!

My diary?

Yes, my mother brought it.

So she took it|off my drawer.

I don't know, but|I even touched it.

It would be weird if you|had touched it.

My mother just read|a very beautiful poem.

Do you miss Bavaria?

- yes, when I am alone.|- Sissy...

but now your country|is Austria.

But I cannot avoid|remind the mountains.

My parents and my|sisters. Do you understand me?

Yes and no.

I do everything to make|you happy here.

I thought that you were|happy here!

I am, but only when|you are with me!

But, you are almost never here.

The correspondent in Paris,|Baron Von Hubenr!

Let him in.

We will see each other in dinner.|What will you do till there?

I'm going to wait for you!|Maybe I will ride...
