Sabrina Confides in the Baron, Explained：reaching for the moon
Sabrina tells the Baron that the man she loves doesn't know she exists—"I might as well be reaching for the moon." He won't hear of giving up: "Why try to get over it?" and notes people are already building rockets to the moon. The scene is less about heartbreak than his refusal to call impossible love impossible.
あらすじ
At the cooking school in Paris, Sabrina admits to the Baron that she's unhappily in love and that the man doesn't even know she exists. She calls it reaching for the moon. Rather than sympathize, the Baron argues that impossible things get done, since people are already building rockets to the moon.

What's really going on
Sabrina frames her situation as romantic doom—"I might as well be reaching for the moon"—and the Baron refuses the premise. He doesn't argue that the man will love her back; he attacks the very idea that some things are out of reach. "Why try to get over it?" he asks, and then answers with the age: "We are building rockets to reach the moon." His advice is blunt and a little funny—stop looking like a horse—but it lands as encouragement: unrequited love isn't a law of nature. It's the first time someone treats Sabrina's feelings as worth aiming for rather than curing.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why does the Baron tell Sabrina about the rockets?
He's answering her claim that her love is as impossible as reaching the moon. If people are already building rockets to get there, he argues, nothing is truly out of reach.
Is the Baron in love with Sabrina?
No sign of it. He talks like a mentor, teasing her about her mood and giving blunt advice about how to be noticed—more interested in teaching than courting.
Who is David marrying this time?
The family only knows from the gossip columns that David is marrying again—his fourth marriage. Nobody in the house seems especially surprised.
How does Sabrina feel about the Baron taking her out?
Her letter plays it up proudly—the opera box, the racing stable, the charity ball and a new evening dress—but she still asks whether David could see her in it.
