Juarez1939

Empress Carlotta von Hapsburg:
More than an empire is in danger. My husband's life. And knowing this, you could abandon him? Answer me, sire!

Emperor Louis Napoleon III:
Regardless of my personal sentiments, I am, as you see, Madame, in the hands of my ministers.

Empress Carlotta von Hapsburg:
In the hands of your ministers! Was it you or your ministers who conceived the plan to mask your infamies behind my husband's noble name? Who tricked him into accepting the throne by means of a pretended plebiscite? Who assured him of French troops and French funds until the day that the Empire of Mexico could take her place among other nations? Answer me, sire!

Empress Eugenie:
Carlotta, please...

Empress Carlotta von Hapsburg:
What are the names of your ministers which are affixed to the Treaty of Miramar? Did your ministers sign this letter: "I urge you to count upon my everlasting friendship. You may rest assured that my support will not fail you in the accomplishment which you are so courageously undertaking." Answer me, sire!

Emperor Louis Napoleon III:
It is useless, Madame. Not another franc. Not another man. We are through with Mexico.

Empress Carlotta von Hapsburg:
What else might a Hapsburg have expected from the word of a bourgeois Bonaparte? You charlatan! But you will not dare let him die! I will denounce you in every court in Europe for what you will be: a murderer! A murderer!
