Ninotchka1939

Ninotchka:
The closest I ever came to champagne was in a newsreel. The wife of some president was throwing it at a battleship.

Leon:
It's always good luck to launch something with champagne; a battleship...or an evening.

Ninotchka:
It's funny to look back. I was brought up on goat's milk. I had a ration of vodka in the army, and now champagne.

Leon:
From goats to grapes. That's drinking in the right direction.

Ninotchka:
[After her first taste, her face grimaces but then breaks into a smile] It's good. [She drinks the whole glass down at once] From what I read I thought champagne was a strong drink. It's delicate. Does anyone ever get drunk on this?

Leon:
Well, there have been cases...but the headache the next morning is worth while - if you drink it with the right toast. [They toast, raising their glasses] To us, Ninotchka!
