It is a nasty sight to see the Effinghams putting themselves at the mercy of a Dodge, just because of a mere idea or ideal Fools. They ruin more than they know. Because at the same time they are snobbish.
Septimus at the court of King Arthur.
Septimus: Hello, Arthur! Pleased to meet you. By the way, what's all that great long sword about?

Septimus: That so! We're all equal in the sight of God, you know, Arthur.
Arthur: Yes.

Arthur: Yes, I agree. (Hands him Excalibur.)
Septimus (prodding Arthur with Excalibur): Say, Art, which is your fifth rib?
