ElectricBoogaloo April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 (edited) I couldn't remember a funny enough quote to use as the thread title, so if you have suggestions then post them here and we can have the mods change the title later! I was cracking up at Henri and Catherine's conversation while cleaning up the Bohemian lady's blood. Catherine: It's leaving a stain. Henri: Why is this so difficult? Our clothes go away dirty and they come back clean. How do they do it? Catherine: I don't know. They take them to the laundry and they dip them in something. And later her whole spiel to the Bohemian archduke was hilarious. Catherine: As my husband will attest, I am not a judgmental person. Edited April 1, 2014 by ElectricBoogaloo 1 Link to comment
Allie56 April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 My favorite quotation so far is Catherine's "you stupid kitchen whore." It's the pearl necklace of insults: appropriate for all occasions. 1 Link to comment
Rhondinella April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 I nominate "You stupid kitchen whore" as the thread title. Thoughts? Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo April 20, 2014 Author Share April 20, 2014 Henri: I will not be so demeaned by a woman! Catherine: Yes, I can see that. 1 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo April 22, 2014 Author Share April 22, 2014 Old bank guy: With your word, I will sign [the document] and your dowry will be moved to your husband's accounts. The money is not yours, of course. Women cannot hold such accounts. Lola: Yes, heaven knows what foolish things women might do with our own money - gamble, buy prostitutes. Old bank guy: I beg your pardon! 3 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo April 25, 2014 Author Share April 25, 2014 Francis: It's father. He's gone utterly mad.Catherine: Define "utterly" because this is a man who's ridden a pig through the throne room in nothing but his underthings. 3 Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo May 16, 2014 Author Share May 16, 2014 Mary: Catherine, I beg of you. Catherine: You're a queen. Don't beg. It invites sympathy then pity then disdain. Catherine: Forgive me, father. Since my last confession, I have taken the Lord's name in vain many times and ordered the assassination of a dozen Scottish visitors. I struck my servant, a slap, which I regret. It was a loss of self control and she's been sulky ever since. Also my cousin Cortenza is here. Expect worse from me. I loathe her. I'm prepared for my penance. 3 Link to comment

I'm a couple eps behind so I haven't seen this one yet, but I can't wait to get to this scene. Snarky Catherine is the best thing about the whole show. Link to comment
PinkRibbons November 7, 2014 Share November 7, 2014 From Three Queens: Kenna: Legally, Bash even owns my coal sticks and lip rouge, although I'd like to see him try and take those away. Catherine: The nobles are just one leg on the three-legged stool that holds up France. If ever that stool goes down, you and I will end up flat on our royal fundements. *peasants revolting in the background* Mary: Perhaps we could talk to them, hear their grievances. Peasant: Kill the Royals! Catherine: Perhaps not right now. Mary: It was a foxhole! Catherine: Badger! Mary: Fox, and how would you know? You didn't even see it! Catherine: I saw it after my foot got caught in it! My feet are too dainty to get caught in a foxhole! Catherine: So you had an overwhelming need to pray to the patron saint of bearded ladies. Mary: ...There's a physician, in Beauvais, who is celebrated for his knowledge of women's problems. Catherine: I assume you mean fertility, because other than that no man has an inkling about women's problems. Catherine's very impressed observation of the faux!royals: It is a masterful exploitation of a weakness. Peasant Man: Your Majesty, is it true Queen Catherine once threw an entire family of hatmakers into the dungeon? Peasant Woman: Yes, I heard they cheated her, and she nailed their eyes open so they'd always have to see their deceitful bills! Catherine: Where do these stories come from?! It was one man, and I only stretched him a little. Nails, indeed! *sees Mary's face* First, you should know he was a terrible, terrible hatmaker. Mary: If I learned one thing at French Court, it's always keep a dagger on you. *Mary pulls a dagger out of somewhere. Catherine rummages around and pulls out a sharp, two pronged hairpin.* Mary: Poisoned? Catherine: Oh, you say that so hopefully now. Sadly it's not. I don't carry poison everywhere! I might accidentally kill myself. 1 Link to comment
