Heinrich: *spits out his drink* He said what about younger siblings? Never mind, my friend, in the event your boy ends up in Prussia, I'll take him under my wing. Not in a hot page sort of way, I mean.

Franz: Thanks...I guess?

Heinrich: Meanwhile, listen up. You might have noticed my brother can be a bit...contrary.

Franz: You could say that.

Heinrich: So we've got to play this just right. I'm thinking that if there's too much pressure to go through with the marriage, he balks. But he might die laughing if given the opportunity to troll a certain virtuous Empress-Queen. If you catch my drift.

Franz: I do indeed. Maternal resistance might not be a bad way of getting Joseph behind the idea, either. Has anyone ever told you that your brother's not the only devious genius in the family?

Heinrich: You're too kind.
