Ferdinand de Lesseps : Oh, Eugenie, darling, I'm leaving for Egypt in an hour and 45 minutes. Will you marry me?
Countess Eugenie de Montijo : What?
Ferdinand de Lesseps : I'm going there as secretary to the Consulate. Marry me, come with me. Rene's going for the license.
Countess Eugenie de Montijo : What license? What are you talking about?
Ferdinand de Lesseps : The marriage license! Quick, pack your things, we've just time to get to the church.
Countess Eugenie de Montijo : But I couldn't possibly do a thing like that, you know I couldn't...
Ferdinand de Lesseps : Don't you understand, I may be gone a year, five years... this may be our last chance!
Countess Eugenie de Montijo : Oh, Ferdinand, are you insane?
Ferdinand de Lesseps : No.
[pause]
Ferdinand de Lesseps : Yes.
