Helena

"Heaven forbid. She never dreamt of such a thing. But she came here intending to stir up a revolt among your Robots."

Domin

[Suddenly serious]: A revolt of the Robots!

Helena

Domin

[Laughing it off]: "A revolt of the Robots, that's a fine idea, Miss Glory. It would be easier for you to cause bolts and screws to rebel, than our Robots. You know, Helena, you're wonderful, you've turned the heads of us all."
[He sits on the arm of Helena's chair.]

Helena

Domin
