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.
