[to the Tarrs] You know, some people find you scary. I don't, of course. I think you're a carnival act. Funny little white-faced clowns. I remember when Datak used to do card tricks for old-earth dollars. You, Stahma, you were a housemaid. Do you remember that one time when our regular maid was sick and you came over and cleaned my toilets? You had a gift.
As you say, that was a long time ago. Now your beautiful home belongs to the Earth Republic, your wealthy husband is in prison, and your daughter's love is mine. Nothing remains for you here. Take your unfortunate son and leave our town. I won't warn you twice.
[to Datak] You know, she blew my husband. [whispers] Just thought you should know.
