Beautiful Moments in Sissi(1955)

What's going on? Why are the horses shining? There's a backpack. Then take it away! Who's fishing there? Me! Oh, Majesty! Please don't tear it off! I'm coming! Please don't tear it off! Please don't! Majesty, I will free you immediately. For God's sake, Majesty! But... Come with the knife! Come with... But... Majesty, I think I'm being followed by a nihilist gang. I've been following this girl for a long time. Oh, there's the backpack. Be careful! There might be a hell machine in this backpack. But don't see it! Majesty, he's crazy! I'm not a nihilist! I think so. You're not an Austrian either? No, I'm from... from Bavaria. From Bavaria? Yes. Count Gruner! Majesty! Take the cart and tell my mother I'll be there soon, okay? As you wish, Majesty. You can accompany me for a while. If you have time. Oh, yes, I have time, Majesty. Then make a detour, and I'll show you around the beautiful surroundings of Ischl. I'll just get my fish. Majesty, I beg you. Please be careful. Yes, yes, yes. May I? Please. Did you catch anything with it? Yes. You, Majesty. I have to say, this is the first nice surprise I've had in Ischl. I'm glad, Majesty. How long are you staying? I'd like to see you again. Unfortunately, only two to three days, Majesty. That's a shame. Especially in the next two to three days, I won't have a minute of my own. Or rather, I've been free for a while. Would you like to go to the pier with me tonight? With pleasure, Majesty. It's a shame she's only staying in Ischl for one or two days. I'd like to extend my vacation. My way? That's nice, Majesty. Tell me a little more about you. About me? There's not much to tell. My favorite occupation is riding. Really? Mine, too. My favorite flowers are red roses. Mine, too. Yes. And my favorite dessert is apple strudel. That's impossible. Mine, too. Yes. What's your name? At home, they call me Geliesel from Possenhofen. Possenhofen? That's on Lake Starnberg, where Duke Max lives in Bavaria. Yes, yes. Then you must know all my cousins, Princess Helene, Elisabeth, Mathilde. Marie, Sophie, I know them all. And the boys, too. I mean the princes. Gagel and Count Theodor. As far as I know, it's Duchess Ludovica with Princess Helene and Princess Sissi here in Ischl. Right? What? Yes, they came to congratulate me on my birthday. But Princess Sissi isn't here. Oh, yes. She's already gone. Yes, yes. Do you know her? Quite fleetingly. And how do you like her? Nothing to say. Invisible. But Siegfried, Elisabeth, I never thought I'd ever be jealous of someone. Of whom? The man who makes you his wife. But how does the Majesty come up with such a thought? The thought is very close to me at the moment. Does the Majesty think of marrying me? Unfortunately, I have to think of it. Does the Majesty want to marry you? Not yet. But to fall in love? Not yet, either. I'm only supposed to get engaged today. Yes, but how can you get engaged to someone you don't even love? That happens more often in our circles. State interests. Dynastic reasons. But that's the way it has to be. Such eyes. Such a face. Such hair. She has to be as beautiful as you. Yes. Isn't she beautiful, your bride? Yes, she's very beautiful, but... But you... You're much more beautiful. And I think you have a heart of gold. Who is she? She's definitely a princess. Maybe I know her. Of course you know her. Yes? Princess Helene of Bavaria. No, no. Please don't, your Majesty. Nothing. Welcome, Helene. Welcome, Elisabeth. You know each other, don't you? What? From Innsbruck. Oh, yes. I'm glad to see you again. Liesl. From Postenhof. And which are your favorite flowers? My favorite flowers? What? Your favorite flowers, because of the Cotillon bouquet. I see. Red roses. I love you. Do you want to be my wife? No. Never. Because I don't want to stand in the way of Nene's happiness. And because I will never be her husband. But, Sissi, be reasonable. First of all, you don't steal Nene, the man, because I'm not the man yet. And secondly, you don't stand in the way of her happiness, because... I don't know if it's a happiness to be married to me. I take my duties very seriously, Sissi. I won't have much time for my wife. And yet, Sissi, I would be happy to have a woman by my side, like you are. Don't you remember what I said to you today? Even before I knew who you were. Dear Sissi, please allow me to give you your favorite flowers. Dear Nene, I asked you for the Cotillon. But I ask you to allow me to dance this dance with Sissi. With my bride. Long live the future Empress of Austria! Ho! Ho! Ho! Sissi? Why did you do that? Why did you put me in front of such a fat cow? Because I knew you would never say yes. It's like a dream, all this. We welcome our beloved bride, Your Royal Highness Princess Elisabeth in Bavaria, once again on Austrian soil today. And we warmly welcome you to your new home. May your Austria become a new homeland and a second fatherland. And may you, dear Elisabeth, always have happy hours in your new home. What I can do will happen. Everything else is up to the Almighty. Long live the new couple! Ho! Ho!
