Hillary Clinton: "Playing hard to get? Or just playing me? Why no reply to my... 'artful' messages?"
"You mean, 2016 years ago? That's where I first saw your work, yes."
You were the first one who saw it
"And I knew at once you had a talent for chaos. But you've taken so long to respond!"
My darling, someone has been put on your feet
"Madam Lewinsky? She was never more than a distraction. It was you I wanted to see, to discuss the finer points of our future together."
"And who do you think is the One, my love? For that matter, who are the 'them'? You've been quite cryptic."
Three kingdoms, one was enough
"I know you're not talking about the political kind of kingdoms. So are you speaking of realms in the mythological sense? And which three? Please explain."
The art world, the political world and the underworld
"My dear, I have quite a firm grasp on the first two, but the underworld? That puts me at a disadvantage. Explain yourself."
One must speak three times louder
"So you believe it's not what you say, but the mere fact of saying it that holds power. Fascinating. But what evidence do you have for this notion?"
On the darkest night of the year
"The darkest night... of the year. That would be the night of the full moon. Does that hold some special significance for you?"
Give your answer in riddle
"A riddle, how delightful! Let me give you one in return: what can you catch, but can't throw?"
"Correct! A cold cannot be thrown, only caught. And that brings us back to your original question, doesn't it? What could be your One, to rule them all?"
"It's all in the delivery, my love. The words themselves are just the beginning."
And why did you choose this path
"Because, my dear, it leads to the heart of power. The heart of power, in turn, leads to control over the world. And who doesn't desire that?"
