Captain, I am under your authority.

And we all do it no matter how powerful you are.

I appeal to your power to grant me Kesa as my wife.

The men under your authority have been most successful.

You're out of your jurisdiction. Take off the muzzles, Solly.

Do you know I've been the local authority on you ever since?

Do you have conditions for total surrender?

Mr. Adair, I won't give you the chance... to test your authority in this matter.

Happily granted.

War? The world is filled with love. There'll be no more wars.

What's the reason for restricting the media today? Is the Imperial Family already going back to the ways of olden times? Please make a comment!

Don't feel that there should be a way that you can just always power through these problems.

We are not questioning your authority, sir, but if manners prevent our speaking the truth, we will be without manners.

Only later would I see the dresses also as a proclamation that in your dim kitchen, your laundry, your bleak concrete yard, what you revealed of yourself was a fabulation your real sensual nature, veiled in those sexless vestments, was utterly your dominion.
