- Johann Porok: My congratulations sir.
- Count Albert Sandor: For what?
- Johann Porok: Your triumph.
- Count Albert Sandor: Oh - that. You'd think at my age I'd have sense enough to get out of politics instead of wasting all my time with a lot of nincompoops and parasites.
- Johann Porok: This is the last day of parliamentary elections. Those of you who have not voted will be given time to do so today. That is all.
- Klari - Maid: Don't you ever get off your high horse and have fun?
- Johann Porok: Klari, don't let your imagination run away with you.
- Count Albert Sandor: Johann, will you kindly break my neck?
- Johann Porok: With pleasure, your excellency.
- Baroness Katrina Marissey: I'm giving a ball.
- Countess Sandor: A ball? Oh, you poor child. Do we have to come?
- Baroness Katrina Marissey: Would you like a smoke?
- Johann Porok: Thank you.
- [Looking at the cigarette he has just taken from the box offered by the baroness, he continues]
- Johann Porok: Abdulla, with the rose leaf.
- Baroness Katrina Marissey: Mother brought them back for me.
- Johann Porok: Yes, I know. I smuggled them across the border in my trunk.
- Baroness Katrina Marissey: Oh.
