Jacqueline quotes from Ever After (1998)

I said I want four minute eggs. Not four one minute eggs, and where in GOD'S NAME is our bread?

Rodmilla

Marguerite, precious, what do I always say to you about tone?

A lady of breeding ought never to raise her voice any louder than the... gentle hum of a whispering wind.

Rodmilla

Jacqueline, dear, do not speak unless you can improve the silence.

I was not shrill,mother. I was resonant. A courtier knows the difference.

Rodmilla

I very much doubt your style of resonance would be permitted in the Royal Court.

I'm not going to the Royal Court, am I, Mother? No one is, except some Spanish pig they have the nerve to call a princess.

Rodmilla

Darling, nothing is final until you're dead, and even then, I'm sure God negotiates.

Rodmilla

Are you ill?

Danielle

No! Yes...

Rodmilla

Where were you?

Danielle

I got lost.

Rodmilla

I don't believe you. You're hiding something from me, I can feel it. I demand to know what it is.

Danielle

Why don't you tell me so I can go back to sleep?

What about our breakfast?

Danielle

You have two hands, make it yourself.

Why you lazy little leech!

Rodmilla

Jacqueline, go and boil some water.

Me? Boil water?... Oh, I knew it! I just knew it!

King Francis

Baroness, did you - or did you not - lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?

Queen Marie

Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.

Rodmilla

A woman would practically do anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get a little carried away.

Mother! What have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both and I am ashamed to call her family.

Rodmilla

How dare you turn on me, you little ingrate!

You see? You see what I have to put up with?

King Francis

Silence, both of you! Good Lord! [to Jacqueline] Are they always like this?

Worse, Your Majesty.

Rodmilla

Jacqueline, darling, I hate to think you had anything to do with this.

Of course not, Mother. I'm only here for the food.

Marguerite gets to do everything.

Oh, don't be daft, the Queen doesn't even know you exist.

Rodmilla

What Marguerite does is for all of us, my dear. We are counting on you to help her get ready.

Lovely. Next thing you know I shall be cleaning the fireplace with Danielle!

Mother, it's only a ball.

Rodmilla

Yes, and you're only going for the food.
