Short filmTranscript
00:00My life ends today.
00:07My enemies, I do not care for them.
00:10Their screaming or their scruples.
00:19My love, the only thing I will miss from this world.
00:23You've been found guilty. Death by guillotine.
00:27For Marie Antoinette!
00:30If only I had another chance.
00:34I will do everything, anything, to be with you again.
00:40Part of me is torpent!
00:42Take the pulse.
00:48I see it now.
00:50If only I could do it all differently.
00:53Viens t'enfermer, Antoinette.
01:01See you in the next life, my love.
01:23Stay with me, Antonia. Breathe.
01:25Don't leave me like this, please!
01:27Stay with me.
01:30Antonia, wake up! Come on!
01:36There was no heartbeat!
01:38Quiet, she's awake.
01:41Where am I? What is happening?
01:45My love, you are here!
01:50Breathe, Antonia, just breathe.
01:54Lafayette! Is that you?
02:00My wife's still here. Just call an ambulance.
02:03Wife? Wife? Wife! To Lafayette?
02:10Hello? I need an ambulance here now!
02:13My name is Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France.
02:18The year is 2024, more than 230 years into the future,
02:23and I live in someplace called Los Angeles.
02:27And no, I'm not crazy. I'm alive.
02:31I reincarnated as Antonia Levine Fontaine,
02:35who's married to Nick Fontaine, my love in this life.
02:39Your wife shows no signs of lasting damage.
02:42No broken bones, her brain functions stable, heart rate is steady.
02:47You're sure? She was dead for five minutes.
02:51But what happened to the woman I'm supposed to be?
02:55Her blood alcohol level was at 0.3%.
02:59If it was a fraction more, it would not have been the fall that would have killed her.
03:03Wait, Antonia was an alcoholic?
03:07Is that the reason for her fall?
03:11Nick! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!
03:16I tried to get her to stop drinking, but she's wrong.
03:20She looks so familiar.
03:32Bye!
03:46Your Majesty!
03:48Those bracelets are to die for.
03:51Those bracelets are to die for.
03:54Oh, you're so sweet to still wear your wedding ring.
03:58Countess Lamont! She's my nemesis in this life too?
04:12What is this odd metal box?
04:16Madame!
04:26Madame!
04:28Viens donc faire, madame Tonette.
04:35May I assist you inside?
04:37Non, merci. I shall wait for the carriage.
04:40Carriage?
04:43Thank you, Sanson.
04:58A horseless chariot. Is this magic?
05:02What is this strange world?
05:18The return of the drama queen.
05:24Vegetables.
05:26The return of the drama queen.
05:32That should be the title of your next film.
05:36And who might you be, young lady?
05:39Are we for real now?
05:41And why are you talking like a grandma?
05:44Shouldn't you be in school?
05:45I'm on break.
05:47Duh.
05:49Besides, I wouldn't miss this for the world.
05:53So, Antonia, I heard you kicked it.
05:57Sadie.
05:59Enchanté, Sadie.
06:01I didn't kick it, as you put it, but I'm back now and I'm here to stay.
06:07Well, if you hurt my brother again, I know how to stick a bitch.
06:11Sadie, that's enough.
06:17I gotta take this. Look after her for me.
06:20Understood, General.
06:23He's a general in this life, too.
06:32Okay, that's not creepy.
06:40Oh, this is too painful to watch.
06:46How old are you, exactly?
06:49What is this?
06:51Seriously, you don't remember this.
06:57How hard did you hit your head?
06:59Well, technically, it wasn't my head.
07:01Just say, hey, Siri.
07:04Hey, Siri.
07:06Uh-huh.
07:09Huh.
07:11What is this?
07:21What is this?
07:23Me?
07:24In the flesh.
07:26Instagram royalty with your bestie, Lana.
07:35Antonia, Nick is gonna be home any minute now.
07:38Fuck Nick.
07:39Yeah, fuck Nick.
07:40You're hot.
07:41Hey, everybody, you hear that?
07:43I'm hot.
07:45So this is what Lafayette and his sister had to deal with.
07:48I have to change their minds.
07:56Ready to see your TikTok?
07:58What's a TikTok?
08:02Google it.
08:06If you're messing with me right now, I'm going to be seriously pissed off.
08:10I'm not.
08:12Google is the oracle of the 21st century.
08:16Just type and learn.
08:18Type and learn.
08:26Marie, Internet.
08:32Controversial?
08:34Spendthrift?
08:37I was wrong, and the world still doesn't know.
08:41Hey, Siri.
08:42Huh?
08:43Tell me one thing.
08:45Good, that came from the French Revolution.
08:52Hey, Sadie.
08:55Finally, she's all yours.
08:58Good luck with some cray-cray shit.
09:02Women gained the right to vote in 1920.
09:05Yes!
09:06Female activists continue to use politics to reform society.
09:10Yes!
09:14I thought she was different.
09:18Maybe she was crazy in a different way.
09:30This led to the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
09:33Oh, that's dispromising.
09:35Tell me more.
09:37You've come a long way, baby.
09:40You've come a long way, baby.
09:42Say that again, Siri?
09:44You've come a long way, baby.
09:46It was an advertising slogan that became a battle cry for female liberation.
09:51You've come a long way, baby.
10:10She's on the run, Lafayette!
10:13Fight, queen.
10:18You're a brave chevalier, but I beg you to change the uniform.
10:21You no longer fight for the Americans.
10:23You are home now, Lafayette.
10:30You've come a long way, baby.
10:34What do you mean?
10:37What are you doing?
10:40Something I've wanted to do for a very long time.
10:50What the hell is going on?
10:52Are you not my husband?
10:54And in this time, a woman pursues what she wants.
10:58Trying to seduce me won't delay the inevitable.
11:01We're tied up at games. We're over. I'm telling you.
11:05What?
11:08Darlings, what is going on?
11:19Looks like I got here just in the nick of time.
11:30It is time, Antoinette.
11:35Can I not take mops with me?
11:37The French want nothing from a foreign court.
11:41But I'm from a foreign court. Does that mean they do not want me?
11:52There is something you must keep on your person at all times from this day forward.
11:58This pendant has protected our family for over a thousand years.
12:05Keep it close, Antoine.
12:07I fear your rule will be sorely tested in the years to come.
12:19Memo? Memo!
12:28I came as soon as I could.
12:31But what is this I hear now about divorce?
12:35Do not become a Hollywood cliché, my darlings.
12:39I'm sure you mean well, Vivian. But can you buy it out?
12:43Oh, Nick. You know me. So you know that's impossible.
12:48You two are my favorite people in the world. Let me help you.
12:51I know.
12:52Both of you need to spend more time together.
12:56Remember why you fell in love in the first place.
13:02Wow.
13:05Well, you look much better, Antonia.
13:08Then again, you were dead last time I saw you.
13:12Uh, thank you.
13:15Dude, you sure her head's okay?
13:17Doctor said there's nothing wrong with her physically.
13:19What are you doing here, Finn?
13:21Oh, can't I stop in and say hi to my big bro?
13:26Fine. The auction's tomorrow.
13:28I wanted to stop by and see if you were going.
13:32It's a marvelous idea.
13:33Something we should all do together.
13:36Antonia included.
13:38Oh, Nick. You can tell her about the film we're working on.
13:42Film?
13:43Memo!
13:45Hmm. This one is more ribbon than dress.
13:50This one shows the buttocks.
13:54Where is the back on this one?
14:00It's time to reclaim the real me.
14:03Nick! I need the bodice brought to the house immediately.
14:06This wardrobe is a catastrophe.
14:08I'm sorry, Antonia.
14:09I'm sorry.
14:10I'm sorry.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I'm sorry.
14:13I'm sorry.
14:14This wardrobe is a catastrophe.
14:16What are you now, queen?
14:18Why don't you go to the boutique like a normal person?
14:24Nick, these clothes are not me.
14:27I need to go to the boutique to find something more suitable.
14:31For once, we're on the same page.
14:33Just because it costs a fortune doesn't make it less tacky.
14:36Go get a new outfit.
14:37Hell, get ten.
14:39But how will I pay for it?
14:41You've already maxed out your credit cards this month.
14:43Credit card?
14:45Credit card?
14:46Here.
14:48This has the power of purchase?
14:50That's one way of putting it.
14:52I don't think you should go alone.
14:54Sadie, care to join?
15:01Lana, you got a minute?
15:03Antonia needs a new outfit for the auction.
15:05Great, thank you.
15:07She'll be here in ten.
15:12Ugh.
15:21Hey.
15:22Are you really going to give me the silent treatment all afternoon?
15:25That's no way family should act.
15:28You will never be my family.
15:30Seriously?
15:32We're about to be sisters.
15:34After my dad marries your mom next year?
15:37Gosh.
15:38That fall really fucked with your memory.
15:41I remember enough to never trust you.
15:44I know what you did, Lana.
15:47Trust me and prepare to face the consequences.
15:50Challenge accepted, bitch.
15:54Mademoiselles, welcome.
15:56Are you shopping for anything in particular today?
15:58Yes, I'm looking for some evening ensembles and some day wear.
16:01Perfect.
16:02Right this way.
16:05Low cut and flashy.
16:08It's you, Lana.
16:10I'm looking for something with a bit more je ne sais quoi.
16:13Well, of course.
16:15I think you want to look at our one-of-a-kind designer dresses.
16:17They're over here.
16:19This blue, actually, look, you will pay, Antonia.
16:22And I can't wait to watch you suffer.
16:33It's fantastic.
16:35You have an impeccable eye, Miss Fontaine.
16:37Please, call me Antonia.
16:39I love it.
16:46This is the one.
16:48Simply stunning.
16:50You are a true trendsetter, Antonia.
16:52I love it.
16:54Let me take a look at the accessories.
16:56Yes, please.
17:02Have a beautiful evening and be sure to come back often.
17:05We get new stock every week.
17:07I will.
17:08Merci beaucoup, Celeste.
17:09Of course, my love.
17:15I don't understand.
17:16What's happening?
17:17Hang on.
17:18I need to see your purse.
17:19I'll take this.
17:21Okay.
17:29Antonia!
17:30This must be a mistake.
17:31I'll take this one.
17:33Hands behind the back.
17:34Listen to him.
17:38Did you know this?
17:39She's quite sick.
17:43You know, our family is trying to get her a lot of money.
17:45The budget is set at 15 million.
17:47I don't want to hear in the middle of a shoot that she wants more money.
17:53Sanson, what's wrong?
17:54It's your wife.
17:55She's been caught shoplifting.
17:57I'll be right there.
17:58Is everything okay?
18:01Vive la France!
18:02La France!
18:04You've been found guilty.
18:05Guilty.
18:06Death.
18:08La trompette!
18:13Nick!
18:16I paid for the jewelry you stole.
18:22This is the last time I bail you out.
18:25Echo.
18:30Let's go.
18:35It was horrible.
18:36She needs help.
18:42Vive la France!
18:43Vive la France!
18:44Vive la France!
18:45Vive la France!
18:46Vive la France!
18:47Vive la France!
18:51I've got to go.
18:52You've been found guilty.
19:10Enough, Edward. Never again.
19:15I believe there has been a misunderstanding.
19:18I'm sorry?
19:19My husband purchased these earrings, but they do not suit me.
19:24Imperial Topaz, while being the most expensive type, is not suitable for my skin tone.
19:29I've never worn it. It dulls me out.
19:32You're right. You'd do best with blues and purples.
19:36Greens. Reds.
19:39Of course, you would never choose Topaz. It clashes horribly.
19:43I'm so sorry I doubted you.
19:45This has been a terrible misunderstanding. They must have fallen into your bag.
19:49Unbelievable! You're going to side with her over skin tone?
19:53She has unparalleled taste.
19:56Actually, Lana, these would be something you would pick.
20:03Perfect match.
20:05And so that Celeste doesn't lose the sale, they're my gift to you, bestie.
20:13That's very generous of you, Tony. Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
20:18Not to worry.
20:23Guess I was wrong about her.
20:43Don't tell me you forgot how to put it on.
20:54Can you?
20:56Whatever.
21:04Now I see it.
21:07Nick, darling, where are you hiding?
21:12Vivian? Jake?
21:15Have you two set a date for the wedding yet? You're not getting any younger.
21:18We're planning a winter wedding. I can't wait to lock this one down.
21:23And knock you too.
21:26Hi, Nick. I'm so excited for this auction.
21:31It should be incredible. Some never-before-auctioned items by the Queen herself.
22:00Your Royal Highness, Queen Marie Antoinette of France.
22:29She's got that same spark that you had at her age, Viv.
22:34Too bad she didn't inherit your talent.
22:37Well, not everything can be taught. Right, Daddy?
22:40Shall we go? Or will we be late?
22:46Miss Levine, Queen of Diamonds is your 66th feature film.
22:50There's rumors you may retire after The Blast.
22:52Go out on top while you've still got it. Do you care to comment?
22:55Darlings, I will be acting on my deathbed.
22:59The devil himself couldn't tempt me offstage, so that is a resounding no.
23:06Wish I'd known how to handle vultures like that.
23:10Mr. Fontaine, can we expect antiques from tonight's auction to grace your upcoming period drama?
23:15Fontaine Studios prides itself in its historical accuracy.
23:19When we heard about the auction, it felt like fate. Thank you, but excuse us.
23:39Wow, Antonia, you look incredible.
23:43Definitely better than your usual skank couture.
23:48Merci, Ben.
23:49And all these French words you've been peppering in lately? So chic.
23:53Are you using Duolingo? Because I would love to learn some Italiano.
23:58That is one hot language.
24:01Oh no, big brother tone.
24:05You know, I was running lines with Oliver earlier today, and he seemed really worn out.
24:10What are you doing to that poor bastard?
24:12It's not me. Max.
24:14It's been an insufferable tool since he won the National Book Award.
24:17Who is this Oliver and Max you speak of?
24:20You've met Oliver before, Antonia. Multiple times.
24:24He's the director of Queen of Diamonds. Nick and Ollie grew up together.
24:28He was even best man at your wedding.
24:31And then Max Keller is the writer.
24:34There they are now.
24:39Death by guillotine by Marie Antoinette.
24:47They come to execute me in the morning, Memo.
25:04If there ever was a time for a miracle, it is now.
25:09Terror is nothing other than justice.
25:13The king and queen must die so that the country can live.
25:18The king and queen must die so that the country can live.
25:30Never die!
25:41My queen, the mob has breached the gates.
25:43They are coming, my queen.
25:45Well, where do I go?
25:46It's too late to escape now. I told you to run, Antoinette.
25:48Why didn't you run?
26:01Antonia.
26:08Antonia.
26:12Antonia, are you all right?
26:17Just breathe. Just focus only on my voice.
26:21Here we go.
26:24Breathe. Now slow, slow.
26:29Here we go.
26:32I'm okay now. Thank you, Nick.
26:37That was a panning attack. It can be brought on by post-traumatic stress.
26:41What set you off?
26:43I thought I saw a ghost from the past.
26:47It's nothing.
26:55Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Versailles Royal Collection,
27:00featuring pieces from Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
27:05It can't be.
27:08Our first item on the block is a timepiece that was held in the last true king of France's hands.
27:15Oh, Louis, my beloved friend. I miss you so.
27:19Louis XVI was gifted this item by his wife, Marie Antoinette.
27:24We're going to start bidding at $1 million. Do I hear $1 million?
27:28Yes. Wonderful.
27:30$1.5. Yes.
27:32$2.5. Going once, going twice. Sold.
27:37Moving right along, we're going to be showing you and featuring our next item,
27:41which is a three-strand diamond bracelet.
27:46Those bracelets are to die for.
27:50Daddy, I have to have it.
27:54$2 million. Going once. $2 million. Do I hear $2.5? And sold.
28:02Thank you.
28:10Our final and most prized item of the evening is one that is shrouded in the annals of history.
28:18Oh, my God. It's here.
28:21A pendant said to have belonged to the Habsburg Empire, the family of Marie Antoinette herself.
28:28This pendant has protected our family for over a thousand years.
28:35I must get it back at all costs.
28:38Starting bid on this item will begin at a higher price of $1.5 million.
28:43Do I hear $1.5? $1.5.
28:46Do I hear $2 million? $2 million.
28:50How about $2.5 million?
28:53Going once.
28:56Going twice.
29:01And $3 million.
29:06$3 million. Sold.
29:11Sold to Mr. Nicholas Fontaine for $3 million.
29:21Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for attending the Versailles Royal Collection.
29:24Please have a lovely evening.
29:26Thank God. I got it back, Memo.
29:31Thank God. I got it back, Memo.
29:43You're out of your mind.
29:45That little starfish cost me $3 million.
29:48I can't explain it, but this pendant is important to me.
29:56So I thank you, husband.
30:01Tonya, what are you doing?
30:03I know it was a lot of money, but I will find a way to pay you back.
30:07Enough with the theatrics, okay? You'll pay me back with what?
30:12You've burned through your trust fund, and you've never had a real job in your entire life.
30:16You have my word, Nicholas. The debt will be paid.
30:20Is she for real?
30:36Antonia, I don't believe you've met Max Keller, the novelist and screenwriter of Queen of Diamonds.
30:44Mr. Keller, I'm afraid I know nothing of your work.
30:47I wouldn't expect you to, Mrs. Fontaine.
30:50It's a biopic on Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France, and the death knell of the monarchy.
30:55You are telling her story? My story?
30:59There's no greater living expert than I on the French Revolution.
31:05I'm sure.
31:07I may say, Mrs. Fontaine, I feel we may have met before.
31:13You're mistaken, sir. Now if you'll excuse me.
31:20Well, she actually thinks she knows anything other than clothes and jewelry.
31:25She seems not like herself.
31:32That man, that petty evil man, I fear he's still a danger to me.
31:37Is that why you're here? To guide me?
