The Emperor sleeps!
METTERNICH.
What!
FLAMBEAU.
Silence!
METTERNICH.
I'm the Austrian Chancellor!
I am all-powerful! I'm--
FLAMBEAU.
Shut your mouth!
METTERNICH.
I want to see the Duke of Reichstadt!
FLAMBEAU.
Out!
METTERNICH.
How--out?
FLAMBEAU.
What's Reichstadt? Never heard of Reichstadt!
Auerstadt, Elchingen, they're dukes I know.
Reichstadt's no duke. There's been no victory there.
METTERNICH.
But, we're at Schonbrunn!
FLAMBEAU.
I should rather think so!
Thanks to our new success we're quartered here; And here we're getting ready at our leisure To give the world another drubbing! See?
METTERNICH.
What's that you say? A new success?
FLAMBEAU.
Colossal!

FLAMBEAU.

METTERNICH.
But--
FLAMBEAU.
You here in the ante-room at night!
METTERNICH.
But I--
FLAMBEAU.
