Sergei: You Keep Hugging Alix When She's Sad. Next Thing You Know, She's Going To Fall In Love With You.

Sergei: You keep hugging Alix when she's sad. Next thing you know, she's going to fall in love with you. Is that what you want?

Nicholas: Pfft, is that what I want?

Elisabeth, loudly from across the room: YES.

Napoleon: What is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?

Joséphine:

Joséphine: Cats. Cats are nice.

Kate: I’m the nicest person in the family.

Kate: There was a vote.

Kate:

Kate: I got a sash.

Nicholas: Oh, Alix, you're smiling! What at?

Alexandra: Oh, nothing. Life is misery.

i have my mother's eyes

and her hair

and her sense of humour

but hair changes

and so do eyes and a sense of humour

all i have to connect her to me

is things that will change

like everything does

and i suppose that is natural

but it is also tragic

because she will not change

the dead cannot

but i will

i will not always be the eleven year old i was
