Irene: You're Ill!

Irene: You're ill!

Alexandra: Mentally, yes, but I'm beautiful, which makes up for a lot.

Irene: I meant that you look like you're about to faint.

Alexandra: Ah. Right.

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.

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

Alexandra: Oh, nothing. Life is misery.

Nicholas: Have you seen my mother recently?

Alexandra: I'm relatively happy. Is that an answer?

Nicholas: Okay, point taken. I wonder what she's doing. Maybe knitting, reading, playing with her dogs...

Alexandra: Planning a coup d'etat...

Nicholas: I know she doesn't like you much, but that's not what she's doing!

Maria: *secretly planning a coup d'etat*

Joséphine: Whether I'm gonna curse you out or take you back to my house, I haven't decided yet, but I'm gonna get you back.
