Monsieur Vatel.
:13:11
You were at Vaux-le-Vicomte
ten years ago.

:13:13
Yes, Madame.
I was steward to Nicolas Fouquet.

:13:17
His Majesty's Minister of Finance.
:13:20
You mean, His Majesty's prisoner
for life in the fortress of Pignerol.

:13:26
-That is so?
-Six thousand guests...

:13:29
to meet the King.
:13:31
Diamonds and saddle horses given
away as prizes in childish games.

:13:36
That was overdoing it,
don't you think?

:13:39
It showed how much
Fouquet had been stealing.

:13:51
Gourville, why has the King
really come here?

:13:54
It's revenge. The King will
never forget that Condé...

:13:56
fought against him
in the civil war.

:13:58
That was a long time ago.
The King was a child.

:14:01
If there's awar with the Dutch...
the King will need Condé.

:14:03
-Yes, but he is...
-Sick of war?

:14:05
So he is. But he is equally sick
of being in debt.

:14:21
I'm passing red hot stones.
:14:29
Condé!
:14:31
Majesty?
:14:32
What exactly do you need
to borrow so much money for?

:14:35
The better to serve France,
Your Majesty.

:14:45
Well, Colbert, where are
our envoys from Holland?

:14:50
-Aren't they here yet?
-Not yet, Your Majesty.

:14:53
Peace with the Dutch
is good for nothing.

:14:55
Except tulips.
:14:59
How many tulips
do we have at Versailles?
