Antoinette de Mauban
- Rupert of Hentzau: I'm glad you stopped lying to me. I hate being lied to by women. They never did before. I always lied to them.
- Antoinette de Mauban: You and I will never have anything to lie to each other about, Count Rupert.
- Rupert of Hentzau: Never? Somebody once called fidelity the fading woman's greatest weapon the charming woman's greatest hypocrisy. And you're very charming - to anyone whose head is not bowed beneath a borrowed crown.
- Rupert of Hentzau: Poor Michael, how he shortchanges himself - deserting a warm, exciting woman of the world for an insipid wax doll.
- Antoinette de Mauban: That was hardly up to your usual standard, Count Rupert. I'd heard you were much more subtle.
- Rupert of Hentzau: It was very careless of you to leave your door ajar. Very careless - and *very* inviting.
- Antoinette de Mauban: Oh? Yes.
- Rupert of Hentzau: Come now, admit I've been patient. And patience is a virtue I generally lack.
- Antoinette de Mauban: You never lack audacity, Rupert.
- Antoinette de Mauban: You really shouldn't be here, you know.
- Rupert of Hentzau: Of course.
- [walks in]
- Rupert of Hentzau: I shouldn't.
- Antoinette de Mauban: You promised to make me your wife. I want to be your wife. I want to love you and make you happy. Once you are regent, they would never let you marry me. Michael, take the happiness we can have together. Leave the power to your brother.
- Michael, Duke of Strelsau: No!
