Marquis de Fleury:
I have seen portraits, many many of Your Majesty and I have heard glowing reports of the beauties and charms of Your Majesty. But the palette of the painter has not colours enough to paint and the lyre of the poet has strings not tender enough to sing about the beauty which my eyes have the good fortune to dazzle at.
Catherine the Great:
Thank you Monsieur Le Marquis, but I want you to know that compliments of that kind don't mean very much in Russia.
Marquis de Fleury:
Your Majesty - they don't mean anything in France - it's just our French way of saying hello.
