[Scene: Seattle General Hospital. Usagi rushes over to hug Minako.]
Minako: I was so angry at being used like that, I became just as bad as our enemies.
Usagi: It's okay. You were always the best of us, that's why my mother made you leader of her guardians. There is no shame in caring too much.
Minako: But this wasn't love, it was hate. I wanted revenge.
Usagi: I don't believe that. You have too good of a heart. I know you tried to do the right thing. You just went about it the wrong away.
Rei: [under her breath] Yeah, I'll say...
Usagi: Oh, be quiet! You weren't any better! You were always Minako's strong right hand! You should have taken over after she made this all personal!
Rei: I didn't want to be leader of this mess.
Usagi: I agree! You're smart, you're beautiful, you're poised, you're talented, you have psychic powers. You're the person I envy most, but despite all that, you are so mean and nasty all the time nobody ever wants to listen to you!
Usagi: And as for you-
[turn and points at Ami]
Ami: Me?
Usagi: Yes, you! You're smarter than everyone else in this room put together! But I wouldn't know it! Since you never open your mouth!
Ami: I'm not a leader either so I didn't think it would be productive to challenge Minako.
Usagi: Yeah, and that's a problem for that both of you! Minako, you should have asked Ami for her wisdom! And Ami shouldn't have waited to be asked! And as for you-
[She wheels on Makoto, who waits patiently with her arms crossed]
Usagi: ...I can't think of anything to complain about, so keep up the good work.
[Pats Makoto on the arm]
Usagi: But my point is, all this time I thought I was the weak link! That I was just some dumb bunny that Momma put in charge because I was the Moon Princess and the kingdom ran on nepotism! But now I see that you guys actually NEED me! To keep you on the right path! With or without my powers!
Rei: Well, DUH! Why do you think I slapped you?
[Meanwhile: In Metalia's Inferno.]
[The youma are in the chamber of traps, carefully detecting and dismantling them one by one. The Heltry twins are standing against a wall, like a pair of officeworkers at a watercooler, watching them work.]
Dev: You know, I'm starting to get the feeling we may actually survive this.
El: [scoffs] Ha. Dream on.
Dev: No. Really. Say we kill Mommy Dearest and actually survive. What do you think we should do next?
El: Go home and sleep for about a week...except we won't have a home to go to, not really. If we kill Metalia, we won't be born, and Big Daddy won't have a reason to have been a part of our lives...so I guess we'll just be living ghosts...watching him be happy from a distance...and I'll cry, I think...because he will never know I was his little girl...
[She straightens up and looks at her brother]
El: What about you? What do you think we should do?
Dev: I think we should take over the world.
[El scoffs]
Dev: I'm serious!
El: I can barely stand most humans as it is. Why would I want an entire planet full of them?
Dev: Did you know that about 10% of people in Asia are direct descendants of Genghis Khan?
El: I don't see what that has to do with-
[Dev beams at her and her jaw drops and she whacks him on the shoulder]
El: You're sick. You know you're sick, don't you?
Dev: Seriously, though. I think we should take over the world, if for no other reason than so our faces can appear on all the money.
[El giggles]
Dev: Think about. My handsome face on one side of the coins, you and your gorgeous body, dressed as Lady Liberty, on the other. Only, people are going to have very little in the way of liberty.
El: Oh, we are going to be evil despots, are we?
Dev: Of course. I'll declare us co-emperors, just like Caligula and Drusilla. Only we will be a Caligula and Drusilla that live forever.
El: [makes a face] Well, I hope you're not expecting us to be "just like" Caligula and Drusilla, because you're my brother, and that's gross.
Dev: [shocked and appalled] Of course not. That's what we'll have slaves for.
[whispers in her ear]
Dev: But I'm still going to marry you. [nips at her earlobe]
El: [giggles] Weirdo.
