Hagai: (to Esther as she is feeding the monkeys) I am curious, to whether you frustrate me of sincerity or to ensure you're never chosen Queen.
Queen Esther: (getting to her feet, turning around) You assume I actually care about being chosen Queen.
Hagai: I am serious!
Queen Esther: Serious of what? Finding a real Queen? Is that why you subject us to these beauty treatments? These... classes?
Hagai: You do not like our fine instructors?
Queen Esther: They simply neglect to teach us some things.
Hagai: Such as?
Queen Esther: Well seemingly anything to do with actually being Queen. The thought well thought; the word well spoken; and the deed well done. As it is said in the great books.
Hagai: (very amused) You read?
Queen Esther: Many times.
Hagai: (turns away and starts laughing)
Queen Esther: (going after him) Before I received your 'invitation', I was reading of Gilgamesh and the Babylonian!
