DARKEL: So is your argument that you are still president?

ROMANA: No, I-

DARKEL: In which case why are we having an election?

ROMANA: You know very well-

DARKEL: In which case did you resign?

ROMANA: Darkel, you are twisting-

DARKEL: In which case why was there no resignation speech? I'm told it is unheard of for a president to resign without naming their successor.

ROMANA: If you'll just let me get a word in-

DARKEL: Why no named successor?

ROMANA: Darkel!

NARVIN: Leela cannot see, Cardinal, only hear. And her hearing is vastly better than your eyesight, I imagine.

LEELA: Yes, I- thank you, Narvin.

“I'm a spy, not a politician. That means even I don't know whose side I'm on.”

LEELA: Do what can we do?

ROMANA: I'd like to know what Matthais is up to. I thought he was on our side.

LEELA: Narvin says he is a politician so he is on no-one's side but his own.

ROMANA: Ah, but I am a politician too, Leela.

LEELA: That is alright. Narvin says it does not apply to you as you are so naive.

ROMANA: Thanks a bunch! Though he could be right. So you've been spending time with Narvin? You're keeping pretty dodgy company these days, aren't you Leela?

ROMANA: He means that they're busy with something urgent that's getting out of control.

LEELA: I know. I only say things like that to tease the guards, and also because it means they don't always take me seriously and say things I can hear, things they think I will not I understand.

ROMANA: You never cease to amaze me.

LEELA: So finally, the evil, twisted creature is gone forever.

NARVIN: And Darkel is dead.

LEELA: That is what I meant.
