• Emperor Cruz: Yes, ambassador, I can see your painting.
• Cuddow: Oh, but my liege! It's not just a painting: It's a trompe-l'œil faux hallway! So as to better frame my visage as I appear before you!
• Cuddow: And the music, you ask?
• Cuddow: Why, I compose it last night on a Veetan harp. I call it "Dare I Touch the Face of God??"
• Cuddow: Which, my most glorious and fastidiously clean king, is how I feel in our tête-à-tête this morning! Such grand delicacies, to hear the diction of my magnanimous ruler!
• Cuddow: Oh! Oh! Speaking of words... I've written a short poem for the occasion of this call!
• Cuddow: It's very short!
• Cuddow: How's your schedule?
• Cuddow: I promise it's very short.
• Cuddow: Are we pressed for time?
• Cuddow: I'll just start, shall I?

• Emperor Cruz: What?
• Cuddow: You lost a planet.
