I understood the first part when Josette asked Angelique "How are you?" Angelique responded (tres bien) "Very good." After that I could not catch the conversation because it was fast and soft. Maybe someone else can share the rest. It would have been nice if every now and then a French word would be used in the dialogue. Natalie used "moi cher" the other day in her conversation. I think with the exception of Lara Parker and Jonathan Frid the actors/actresses were not versed in the French language. Correct me if I am wrong here.

?!?
Does Laura Parker really speak with that accent? She has a very plesent speaking voice, and a very expressivand attracive (however scary and evil) face.

Well, Grayson Hall did star in a french-language film, Qui Etes-vous, Polly Maggoo?   She did not speak English in the film, only French .. .though I think she did later say her French was attrocious.

Going on memory here, but this question came up before on the Dominion way back--I think the person who answered it said the discussion was basically them greeting each other and then they talked about how cold it was and the wind and the weather, etc.

So, I guess we didn't miss much  8)

It would have been neat if the writer's would have somehow figured out a reason to give Vicki something to say in French.  Alexandra Moltke did a super job with the monologue she had in French during that seance during the Laura/Phoenix storyline.
