Margo a.k.a. Caligula

Transkrip

[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 uh—


[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.

Konteks Klip
