Textauszug von 'The Tyrants' Kiss'
| Antioch: | So now you're coming with us. |
| Perry: | But my family – my things – my clothes - |
| Antioch: | I don't see any family. I don't see any things. |
| Perry: | My things – they're with my friends... |
| Antioch: | Oh, so you have friends. Who exactly are your friends? |
| Perry: | They're... I don't know. |
| Antioch: | You don't know who your friends are? |
| Perry: | No. I've forgotten. I have no friends. |
| Antioch: | No friends. How unfortunate. |
| Thaliard: | How unfortunate. |
| Antioch: | You are an illegal immigrant, with no right to be in this country. |
| Perry: | I told you. I had papers. They were stolen. I've been to the embassy. I've applied for new papers. You can't take me away. You've got no right. |
| Antioch: | You're the one with no rights. |
| (Perry reaches for his pocket) | |
| Thaliard: | Stand still! |
| Antioch: | Keep your hands up! Now Thaliard, see what's in that pocket. |
| Perry: | Keep off me. |
| Thaliard: | It's money, boss. |
| Antioch: | So it is. Money. |
| (Thaliard takes the money) | |
