[ Another slow drag, her tone mild as she goes on: ]

Where would you start? China maybe? The U.S.? Some place more personal? And then what, just blast the shit out of them until they cower at your fucking feet? Or maybe trick them into being all fucking enslaved with speeches and shit until you're their tyrannical dictator and they don't even realize they put you there until it's too fucking late.

[ A pause. Then she puts her cigarette out on the metal floor. ]

You know, not that I ever fucking thought much about it.
