Do you have any pills?
Oh, never mind. I have some here.
Uh, b-b-uhÖ what is this pill?
It's an exhaltation transference pellet, of course.
Hmm. I know nothing of this.
I see. Well, on Earth, when our psychocardiogram readings are in perfect confluence, and we wish to "make love", as you call it, we take an exhaltation transference pellet, and remain like this ó here, let me show youÖ

That?! But nobody's done that for centuries! I mean, nobody except the very poor, who can't afford the pills and the psychocardiogram readings.

What? Oh, that. Yes, I must admit it was ratherÖ interesting. Still, I see what they mean by saying it's distracting.
I'm from the planet Earth. My name is Barbarella.

Not all of us.
[uneasily] Hello.

Do you want to come and play with me? For someone like you I charge nothing.
[Barbarella tries to run, but the woman grabs her by the arm and draws her close.]
You're very pretty, Pretty-Pretty.
My name isn't Pretty-Pretty, it's Barbarella.
That's screaming! A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.
Pygar, come. Tell me what that means.
"ChamberÖ of UltimateÖ Solution".
I don't like the sound of that.
