Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  [members of the royal court are running and screaming] 

  King Louis : We are under attack! There are creatures - I don't even think they're human - we can't stop them!

  Madame Du Pompadour : [staring at a broken clock on the mantel]  The clock is broken. He's coming.

  King Louis : Did you hear what I said?

  Madame Du Pompadour : [she turns and steps up to him]  Listen to me: there is a man coming to Versailles. He has watched over me my whole life, and he will not desert me tonight.

  King Louis : What are you talking about? What man?

  Madame Du Pompadour : The only man, save you, I have ever loved.

  Madame Du Pompadour : [King Louis XV's face turns angry and insulted at the revelation]  No. Don't look like that. There's no time. You have your duties. I am your mistress. Go to your queen.

  Madame Du Pompadour : [crouches in front of the fireplace and speaks loudly into the fire]  Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you, now! You promised! The clock on the mantel is broken! It is time! Doctor! Doctor!
