## Dialogue

    Sonja: No man may have me, unless he's beaten me in a fair fight.
    Kalidor: So, the only man that can have you, is one who's trying to kill you. That's logic. [Sonja goes and lies down. Kalidor picks up his sword and holds it to her throat]
    Kalidor: If you yield only to a conqueror, then prepared to be conquered.
    Sonja: Don't be a fool, I don't want to kill you.
    Kalidor: Try it.
    Brytag: This is my land. All that pass through pay me tribute.
    Sonja: How much, Brytag?
    Brytag: Who mentioned money? Tribute, I said. The tender kind all women pay to Brytag.
    Sonja: Suppose, I don't. Suppose, instead, I open up that great, fat belly of yours?
    Sonja: But why didn't you tell me who you were?
    Kalidor: You didn't seem to want a man's help. But you needed it, so that's why I followed you. I had to be sure you reached the talisman.
    Sonja: I see, I misunderstood. I thought you had another reason.
    Kalidor: I did. [He kisses her]
    Sonja: What happened?
    Falkon: What happened? Queen Gedren attacked us is what happened.
    Sonja: Gedren? Queen Gedren?
    Falkon: That's right. She knocked down half the city with her new weapon and demanded our surrender.
    Prince Tarn: My army ran away. Do they want to live forever? I refused to surrender.
    Falkon: So she knocked down the other half.
    Ikol: My Queen, this pet of yours is difficult for the rest of us to control; there can be no guarantees that something won't... well, go wrong.
    Queen Gedren: If anything does, YOU will be its next victim.
    Prince Tarn: [upon finding the Great Pearl] This could buy me an army, or even rebuild Habloc! Dig it out, Falkon!
    Falkon: Your Highness, this pearl may belong to somebody.
    Prince Tarn: It does! And he wants it now!
    Kalidor: I know you're a brave girl, but danger is my trade.
    Sonja: If danger is a trade, I'll learn it by myself.
    Brytag: I will tell the future in your entrails, Red Woman!
    Sonja: I know my future. You have none.
    Swordmaster: Hatred of men in a lovely young woman... Such could be your downfall.
    Sonja: I don't hate ALL men, Grandmaster.
    Swordmaster: Those words would have brought music to my heart, thirty years ago.
    Brytag: Woman, I have fought 177 men. Only one survives, and he has no legs. You dare to mock Brytag?
    Sonja: That takes no daring... but when I've killed you.
    Brytag: When you've killed me! [laughs scornfully]
    Ikol: Majesty, the Talisman is almost beyond control. We must bury it in the dark before it is too late.
    Queen Gedren: It'll be buried when I have no further use for it, and that time shall come with the end of time itself.
    Ikol: It will kill us all! Majesty, what do you want? Our vaults are brimming with gold. Great kingdoms live in terror of us! What more is there?
    Queen Gedren: The world, Ikol! Today we took the kingdom of Toktyl. But I have wider claims, and the Talisman will enforce them!
    Ikol: Madness. There will be no world.
