Quotes
-
The Chamberlain : Is good thing we are not all so weak as to be scared of single Gelfling, yes?
The General : [engraged] You question my bravery?
The Chamberlain : Keep your robes on, spithead!
[All the Skeksis except skekZok and skekSo erupt into raucous laughter. skekSil and skekVar get up and face each other]
The General : Incompetent smipp!
The Ornamentalist : How exciting!
[skekLach laughs]
The General : You only dare flap your beak because you sit at the Emperor's side! Let us see if your talons are half as fearsome as your tongue!
The Chamberlain : I bring order! Peace!
The Ornamentalist : [gleefully] There's going to be a fight!
The Gourmand : [chortling] A meal and a show!
[skekOk exclaims with delight and pounds on the table with immersive mirth. skekSo is too busy inspecting the pus oozing out of his finger]
The Chamberlain : You! You are reckless, lead us into war!
The General : I welcome war!
[skekSo breaks off his fingertip. Purple smoke wafts from it]
The Chamberlain : Because you are too thick-headed to use brain!

The Emperor : The General is right. I need results, not talk!
The Chamberlain : But, Emperor, my sire...
The Emperor : Be silent, or I will silence you.
The Chamberlain : But- but why? I did not start fight.
[skekLach laughs]
The Emperor : You talk too much. Talk, talk, talk! We rot while you chatter.
The Chamberlain : Sire, my plan is working. I just need more time.
The Emperor : More time, more words, more nothing!

The Chamberlain : Look what General has done to my hand!
[He presents his hand, which is wrapped in bandages and barely crippled]
The Hunter : [sarcastically] Poor skekSil. Still consumed by petty squabbles.
