Catherine: Let her speak freely, for that is what this school is about.

Nadia: Speaking freely? The espousal of ideas?

Catherine: Yes.

Nadia: But not the acting of them. Are you not like a drunken father at a dining party telling the world how it should change but doing nothing but falling over at the end of the night in your own vomited and useless ideas?

Velcra: Oh, dear me.

Catherine: Gosh, you have a turn of phrase.

Nadia: As do you, Empress, but we’re thinking that’s all you have.

Catherine: Right.

(Students throw food at her)

Velcra: Girls! Go and stand over there and stare at art.
