Our Empress Must Shine
SOPHIE: Where is the Empress?
COUNTESS ESTERHÃZY-LIECHTENSTEIN: She is still sleeping, Your Highness
SOPHIE: Then it is high time to wake her up.
The empress is still very young
A foal that has never been tamed
She takes life far too lightly
I see it as my duty
To drill her
The girl is still downright rude
LADIES-IN-WAITING: That's how it is!
SOPHIE: The way she talks and acts - vulgar!
/>LADIES-IN-WAITING: Definitely!
SOPHIE: She is rude and aggressive
Seems in love with herself
Has no sense of duty
SOPHIE & LADIES-IN-WAITING: Our Empress must shine
And perform her high duty
Determine crown and dynasty
All her duties
LADY-IN-WAITING: Indeed.
SISI: What's going on ?
SOPHIE: People don't sleep that long here, my child
SISI: Why?
SOPHIE: Because I hate laziness
SISI: I was so tired and I...
SOPHIE: When it's five o'clock in the morning
People here are going strong and fresh
from their feathers
SISI: You know, Franz Joseph told me
I was allowed to rest a bit this morning
SOPHIE: Rest from what? I just spoke to my son
What do I hear? Did you not do your duty last night?
SISI: This is going too far
SOPHIE: That's what I told him too
SISI: He would never tell me off to you, would he?
SOPHIE: For my son never keeps anything secret from me
SISI: That's not true!
SOPHIE: Just ask him yourself
SISI: I will!
SOPHIE: He is coming here
SISI: What?
SOPHIE: And now show me your teeth
COUNTESS: Right away!
SISI: My teeth?
SOPHIE: Yes, are they white?
COUNTESS: Please open your mouth
SOPHIE: They are too yellow in my opinion
SISI: Am I a horse?
SOPHIE: Oh no, but they are an example
SISI: You criticize everything I do
Whatever I want is forbidden
SOPHIE: You are now being drilled to become empress
We must first show your willpower
br/>SISI: I think you're jealous of me
SOPHIE: Jealous of you? That's ridiculous
SISI: I don't want to
SOPHIE: Now be good and docile
SISI: I'm going now!
SOPHIE: No!
SISI: Help me, Franz Joseph
Look how your mother torments me
She torments me
SOPHIE: Give her to me, son.
SISI: She's mean.
SOPHIE : now come with me first.
SISI: Help me
SOPHIE: Determine the crown and dynasty
SISI: Don't leave me alone.
FRANZ-JOSEPH: I have to leading my people
Devoting myself to my mission
I really don't have time
For domestic strife
Forget your pride, stand by me
It is much better for both of us
If you follow my mother's directive
SOPHIE: Be strict, be strong, be cold, be hard.
SISI: So you're abandoning me...
