SARAH: Well, it's going to be rather difficult to explain but I think he was referring to Women's Lib.

THALIRA: And what's that?

SARAH: Women's liberation, your Majesty. On Earth it means well, very briefly, it means that we women don't let men push us around.

THALIRA: It's not like that on Peladon. The ruler is always a man. I was only crowned because my father had no son. It's Ortron who holds the real power.

SARAH: Well, only if you let him. You've just got to stand up for yourself.

THALIRA: It would be different if I was a man. But I'm only a girl.

SARAH: Now just a minute. There's nothing only about being a girl, your Majesty. Never mind why they made you a Queen, the fact is you are the Queen, so just you jolly well let them know it.
