Louis XVI The people not only want bread, but also power. How could anyone want power? For me it's a curse that one involuntarily inherits. A curse hidden under a fur coat of ermine. Louis XVI Coming to Paris with my guards would anger the people… Marie Antoinette That's crazy! Louis XVI No, Madame. It's the voice of reason. Madame Moreau The Queen never opened or closed a door in her life.
