Sissi - Die junge Kaiserin quotes

  • Sissi: What else do you have to drink?

    Hüttenwirt: We have Brannten and Rertel.

    Kaiser Franz Josef: I would love to try some Rertel, but I don't know what it is! I don't understand a word he's saying!

    Sissi: You don't understand the language of your own country? That's a shame, Your Majesty! Rertel is red wine. Brannten is brandy.

  • Count Andrassy: Since the time of Maria Theresa the Hungarian nation has waited from generation to generation for a human being in this Imperial House. Someone to trust, someone worth living for, and someone worth dying for. We didn't come to see the Emperor of Austria today, but to see our future Queen!
