in him as I never believed in another human being now without a word he just really doesn't have to be the end of everything oh it does it does in the life of every woman there is only one great love it's so how can you that certain he says so in all the novels it must be true I uh really don't like discussing another another man's Affairs but there is something you should know about General bonapart aside from his interest in Josephine he was engaged for a long time to the daughter of a wealthy silk Legend oh in mys his brother's married to his sister so you see he wouldn't have married you in any case his choice was was between a bumpkin with a large DIY and a Paramore with useful connections unfortunately you have neither diary nor connections how do you know that I can tell by

whole world knows Napoleon bonapart his face is everywhere they call him the strong man of France ever since he conquered Italy just as he said he would and he certainly has taken care of his family whoever thought Joseph would be ambassador of the French Republic here in Rome anyway I'm glad Julie asked me to come and stay with them Mar has too many memories and who knows diplomatic life may be interesting diplomatic life is dull dull dull and this Gloomy Palace these cold floors and high ceilings and these awful statues at any moment I expect them to turn into fountains spouting water from all sorts of unlikely places and it's always so so drafty one thing is certain I hate [Music] palaces you are glad you came to Paris with us aren't you yes you're quite sure you wanted to come to his dinner party yes we'll be close by if well now that he's married to Josephine of course do you feel anything for him anymore no [Music] no his Excellency and Madame Joseph bonapart and Melle Desiree

you imagine Battalion after Battalion transported across the channel by air by air huge balloons constructed to remain a loft for hours each carrying a half a dozen men inventors have shown me the designs fantastic possibilities all of this of course we'll have to wait it is now safe to reveal something that Bernard d and a few others already know in a few weeks I shall leave for the Egyptian campaign we will sail from Tong with 400 ships and 2,000 pieces of artillery with the pyramids as a base we will unite the East and the West 40 centuries will look down upon us and we will not disappoint them what do you make of it burnard up Egypt oh um it will prove that Canon is more effective than bow and arrow you misjudge my motives victory in Egypt is necessary it to one more step in bringing order and peace to Europe order and Peace by Conquest I tell you frankly if I were Minister of Defense I'd forbid you to sail well then we must make certain that you not made Minister of Defense at least until after I depart General bernot doesn't approve of Conquest not even of ladies it must have been painful for you without one in Vienna at court I mean at court and elsewhere

married believe me only in marriage can a woman find the real meaning in life I should like to throw these candlesticks at you well if you must at least let's not set fire to the place D day I must make you understand without Josephine I could not have achieved command in Italy as a result of that Deeds await me of which the present generation cannot even dream these chuckleheads who call me bloodthirsty mad ambitious I'm none of these I am the French Revolution and I shall know how to protect it the crown of France is in death reput it lies in the gutter it's needs only to be picked up with a point of a sword do you understand that do you I don't I'm not certain we must be friends always the gardens are lovely here in elmone but a chestnut trees and a lake with black and white swans

now will you kindly arise and carry the Train Your Majesty s it is about the virgins what about them none can be found at court well why must we have them it was your Magic's command that the coronation be modeled in every detail after the medieval ceremony at ranas thus 12 virgins must walk to the altar after the anointing of the emperor gentlemen this is your problem I'm sure that there are at least 12 suitable young ladies left in France in sky blue last week the Army even drafted the son of The Coachman do you know how old he is he is 15 what country will he die in Bavaria Spain I tell you they are taking boys are 15 I know Marie my nephew is at the Austrian front my brother's only son they marched him away with roses tied to his musket everything went wrong they can't find any

what's this it came for you this afternoon no from the Imperial household and I'm to have a special role I don't dance in with all the other wives I come in all alone carrying Josephine's handkerchief

have for several years P I've lost all hope of having children for my beloved wife the empress Josephine yet the political necessities of my monarchy require that I leave HS to the throne on which Providence has placed me the interests of France demand the dissolution of our marriage I wish to state that my marriage is an obstacle to the welfare of the nation as I no longer expect to be able to to fulfill my obligation to fulfill my obligations I am resigned to my luck I owe everything to his Majesty's kindness as occupant of the throne on which he placed me I have received abundant

serve the interests of my former country whenever they do not conflict with the interests of Sweden can it possibly be that you have forgotten what your former country meant to you can it be that you

his Emperor has a right to command him you were born to command Z I was not born to obey you will remain a marshal of France and when there are new Wars you will lead one of my armies and furthermore

too unlike that of corica well gentlemen I'm ready for Exile I have nothing in common with those other friends of yours but you a man who Rose from the ranks a soldier whose loyalty I've always cherished your deployment against me at lii was brilliant the tactics for genius that is true I learned them from you French standards in the dead tell me Bernard do did you enjoy your Triumph how did you feel and despair despare well that at least is becoming to the most illustrious traitor Frances of unnown History will determine which of us was the traitor but if it affords you any satisfaction you may know that when I leave your sight I leave France I will never be back there is the difference I will be back he has escaped from Elba it will be more war how will I ever get back to Sweden there has been in a battle at watero and now Napoleon is barricaded at malmon and wants to fight to the death at the gates of Paris there will be more killing and more blood Napoleon Must Be Stopped Jan said it long ago someone must stop him somewhere his own battalions protect him at malmon their bayonets are drawn if we try to seize him more men will die unless he has turned over to the Allied command by tonight we cannot save Paris from destruction he is stubborn and bitter Madame but you you have known him well he has always seem to perhaps a woman [Music] the Royal Highness wish us to see in [Music] the see you he's out you can't see Des he won't see [Music] you [Music] [Music] why dier I'm sorry if I startled you well I'm not accustomed to having visitors here recently but then you and I always met rather unexpectedly won't you please sit down you know I once asked you to walk in this garden with me and you refused yes I was afraid of you well you had reason to be you know Desiree that hat doesn't suit you at all not at all may I remove it I am here for a purpose I'm sure you are do you remember when we first met that was the night you told me you knew your destiny that was the first night I kissed you you were thinking about my dowy general no not entirely truly not entirely I wonder what my destiny would have been had I married you the same I think perhaps but the history of Empires often depends on such Trifles so does the history of people yes well you're here on a mission I bring you a message from the French government you were sent to me as a courier do they think that I'll be swayed by sentiment what a Shabby device I want you to come oh yes indeed you always enjoyed playing the role of the courageous lady I am not at all courageous just the opposite but when there's a great deal at stake I can make the effort I am to tell you that the Allies will not accept the surrender of Paris unless you leave France if you do not give yourself up today the city will be destroyed there is nothing new in that message it's been sent before and you may take it back with the same answer I can still mobilize 100,000 and how many of them will die how many more men will lie in their graves because of you how many more French mothers will hate you how many more children will grow up cursing your name because they have no fathers I've had to shed blood but only where it was indicated what indicates it to you now your destiny I judge my conduct by my conscience and my conscience is not troubled day by day I doo gave my life for my country and yet my mother did not wish me to become emperor she did not even attend my coronation I made caln's husband a Marshall and he joined my enemies I made Bernard Marshall and he fought me in the field I made war in order to secure peace not for a year but for a dozen centuries I dreamed of the United States of Europe Frenchmen Italians German poles Russians and all the others one law one coined one people was that so rash a dream no only the way you dreamed it and now I'm to let myself be taken to that God forsaken Rock in the ocean St Elena I return from elur but I will never return from St Elina is this what you ask it is what France asks it is customary to hand over one sword to the officer taking one prisoner Bernard out will explain it you at this moment I surrender to the Allies please don't look like an umbrella goodbye Napoleon no one has called me that for a very long time tell me Des when did you begin to fall out of love with me I don't know somewhere along the way
