Yvonne Petal: "You don't approve, Dani. That's a reason we need to talk."
Dani: "Who are you? People of my time weren't slaves, but there was discrimination."
Yvonne: "I'm a product of the system I was born into. You wouldn't understand."
Dani: "Houston, we have a problem. I like to minimize my interactions with slave owners."
Yvonne: "Yes, I own three slaves. I bid on them to save them from worse fates."
Dani: "Forgive me if I'm skeptical. Being a slave doesn't sound like an ideal situation."
Yvonne: "Other people who I know are sadistic were bidding on those three too."
Dani: "Not sure I've heard using 'sadistic' before in the context of actually buying people."
Yvonne: "I'm protecting them. In this time period, people are bred submissive."
Dani: "How'd you breed someone to have that predilection? I'd very much like to know."
Yvonne: "In this era doctors can inject a pregnant woman with a hormone to-"
Dani: "Let me see, to make one submissive. Born willing to work without complaint."
Yvonne: "Some are already born predisposed, and with injections it is assured."
Dani: "Why do you need slaves here? I bet Japan would be a rich country without them."
Yvonne: "We can create any object we wish, but there are jobs no one likes to do."
Dani: "Your one possession, Possession C, didn't seem submissive. Quite the opposite."
Yvonne: "She's Chinese-Australian, born free, but she was captured and trafficked."
Dani: "I'm not following your explanation. Why would where she is born make a difference?
Yvonne: "Asian slaves who are not bred to be slaves are essentially unheard of."
Dani: "So, your slaves were born in a free country, and not bred in the womb to be slaves."
Yvonne: "Right. My slaves are defiant. The other bidders wanted that personality type."
Dani: "To enjoy beating the defiance out of them? Still, they can't like being property."
Yvonne: "Yes, that's the reason why I want C to go back into the past with you."
Dani: "Oh boy, I am sure Aurora is going to love it when I tell her that! She will love it!"
Yvonne: "Say, who is this ‘Aurora’? Toru said as a contingency plan only one person like you-"
Dani: "Let me tell you about my tiny, little, adventure when I tried to find Orwell in 1947.”
