Transcription
[Margo]
Democracy has to take a back seat. Without magic, the people are terrified. And that is just one step from an angry mob.
[Eliot]
And that's how royal heads end up in baskets. I get it. I get it.
[Margo]
This is an undereducated, pre-industrial populace, Eliot. They need to be ruled.
[Eliot]
They need to be inspired.
[Margo]
They need to think they're being inspired as they're being ruled. I'm talking curfew, martial law, conscription, and severe and public punishment.
[Eliot]
Okay. Can we maybe make our way to king and queen Caligula, please? Maybe uhâ
[Fen]
How did you not recognize me? I'm the king's wife! Tell them!
[Eliot]
Oh my god.
Are you okay?
[Fen]
Yes.
[Eliot]
How did you get here?
[Fen]
Simple. I just gave them my toes.
[Eliot]
Gave who your toes?
[Margo]
The fairies.
[Fen]
I wanted to stay. To be close to our daughter, but I had to warn you. They're coming.
[Margo]
They're here.
