Sissi: The Young Empress Page #3

that traitor, Andrassy!

Come on...

It is not easy to forget that|it was a Hungarian...

who lifted a dagger|against my Franz.

And now we can find him|unpunished among us!

Highness, count Andrassy requests|the honor of being presented to you.

Congratulations.

I won't give my hand to a rebel,|even if he has been amnestied.

Royal highness...

how can I tell him that?

In German or in Hungarian,|whatever!

It's a pity the waltz is gonna be over.|I'll have to change you for another one.

The Highness, Franz's mother,|offended us in public...

She doesn't recognize our amnesty|and she considers us her enemies!

Inadmissible.

I think we must|leave the ball!

I agree.

You are the imperial couple guests|and not the Emperor's mother guests!

It is all the same!|We don't accept this insult!

- Let us put our ladies together!|- Sure.

I'm sorry.

Majesty, are you going to|shake hands with the guests?

Majesty, excuse me, but do you|allow me to speak to you?

- What happened?|- The Hungarian guests...

got offended with the Royal|Highness Sofia...

and they want to leave|the ball!

The Royal Highness Sofia|offended us and...

Andrassy wants us|to leave the ball!

Majesty, the abandon of|the ball will mean...

- a break in the peaceful relationships!|- But how can we avoid it?

- Leave me alone.|- Majesty.

What is going on, Sissy?|You look so pale.

Franz, forgive me, but I will break|the ceremonial procedures...

but I will do that for you|and for your country.

What are you going to do?

This is impossible,|Countess!

But it is the expressed wish|of the Empress!

Well...

Gentlemen, the royal orders:|"the ladies choose".

"The ladies choose"?

- Was it you that ordered, Franz?|- No, I was me!

Colonel? Tell to Count Andrassy|to dance with me.

I am astonished!

Is everybody here?

Yes, but must we have|to say good-bye?

No.|We must not.

Count Andrassy, the Empress asks|your honor in the next dance.

I think this Empress' choice...

it more important than her|mother-in-law's offense.

We should stay.

Ask the Emperor|to dance with you.

It's my pleasure.

May I take you to the Empress?

Please.

Will you be there|without saying nothing?

Mother, I don't know reasons|that made Sissy...

to take this attitude, but I agree|with everything that she did!

Majesty, may I have|the honor of this dance?

It' my pleasure...

- The ball is over for me!|- But why?

My God!

What was it?|An attack?

The Empress fainted!

- What does the doctor say?|- We don't know yet.

- He is with her.|- Which would the reason?

For sure one|she fell of the horse.

I have been with her all the time.

When she went to|Prater, you weren't!

It can be appendicitis.|She already complained of pains.

The reason of the indisposition...

was the irritation with|her mother-in-law Sofia.

Will We say to the Emperor that the|doctor is still with her?

The Emperor should not|be disturbed.

He meets with|the correspondent of Russia...

and he is taking some serious decisions|that should lead us to a war.

- Is the counselor still there?|- Yes, Your Highness.

Am I very sick,|counselor?

I don't think so, Majesty.

But Your Majesty should quit|riding for a while.

It is too bad...

but it has to be this way.

- Am I so bad?|- Bad, no, no...

- But what is it?|- Good news!

- No, it cannot be!|- Yes, Majesty!

Mr. Doctor!|Doctor!

It's very good, Doctor!

What does it mean?

Franz, I need|to talk to you now.

Just a moment,|Excellency.

What is going on, Sissy?

- Franz...|- Yes?

We are going to have a baby!

Sissy! Is it true?|Is it really true?

- Yes, get me down.|- Sissy.

Don't press me! Don't press me.|We should be careful!

- News!|- What is that?

- Something very good!|- What happened?

From Vienna,|from Sissy...

- Is she gonna have a baby?!|- Exactly! Congratulations, grandpa.

Mom! Mom!

Is it true what|Thomas told us?

That Sissy will have a|baby in Spring?

He doesn't know|to keep a secret!

It is true, soon you|will be uncles and aunties.

Bravo! I will be an uncle!

- And me an aunt!|- Me too?

Everybody will be!

Highness, I want to express|my happiness.

I thank you very much, but now|bring a champagne, hurry up.

Sure.

It's enough for today.|Go to bed! Thomas!

Please, Thomas, take the|the aunts and uncles with you.

Come, children!

Good night.

It will be very good|it is a small heir boy!

I would rather a girl|like Sissy.

But I think|Franz would not!

- I am so happy.|- So do I.

The happiest days of the|life are like this...

we are happy to see that|we are getting old.

I still remember, as if it was yesterday,|that wonderful night...

when which I got the biggest|present that the life gave me:

Sissy.

She was so pretty!

- I was proud of her.|- Me too.

And soon she will be|a proud mother!

Is it a boy?

It is a princess!

I am very happy.

You would be happier if it|had been a little prince.

- I can't wait to see the baby!|- And I...

Did I hear anything?

My dear, here it is,|the little princess.

She is like Sissy.|The eyes, the hair...

Max, show her to me too.|Max, let me see her.

Wait! The ears are also|like Sissy's ears! The two of them!

Come on, don't drive me crazy!|Show me! Let me take her!

Just a minute! I need|everything again very close!

She is so cute! Isn't she pretty?|Like Sissy!

- The forehead!|- Forehead?

- What will be name?|- Sissy, of course!

No! Franz and I already agreed,|if it were a boy it would be...

Rudolph and if it were a girl, what I was|afraid of, the name would be Sofia!

I hope everybody agree because|we didn't choose Ludovika.

Of course not,|Ludovika is a bad name!

- Sofia is bad too!|- He is right about that!

- Since when you listen so well?|- Well, it was the labial reading.

Fantastic!

"You niece was baptized with|the name of Sofia, Anastacia...

Amalia, Elizabeth, Francisca,|Stephanie, Carolina, Maria..."

- All of that?|- Yes!

- Do I need to remind all of them?|- No, just Sofia.

The stork held little|Sofia so hard?

- Yes, but she didn't feel anything!|- When the stork brought me...

- I didn't feel either.|- I felt.

"In a few days, dad and me|will be back.

And I am happy since now|because we will be all together".

Great! Till there we are going|to play Indian!

Countess?

- Isn't she sweet?|- Charming!

Majesty, the visit to the|The children's Home!

I am coming!

The Empress!

- Nurse. Nurse. Nurse.|- Majesty.

- What noisy reception.|- Yes, it's really noisy.

- How old are they?|- It varies a lot, from 2 to 7 months.

A girl?

- How much does she weigh?|- Two pounds and a half.

She weights more than mine.|But mine is younger.

Is he hungry?|I think he wants milk.

He already had milk, Majesty.

- Yes?|- Already!

- Please, Majesty!|- He is screaming for screaming!

Are you a baby girl?|Yes, no? But what a blondie.

What about you?|What a nice sleepy.

Is that a nice thumb?

One more baby girl?

- What about you? What is her name?|- Eva.

She is tired.

It's to bad the Emperor didn't come.|He loves kids like me!
