[Prior is talking about his lineage with Ancestor #1]

Prior Walter:
I'm the thirty-fourth, I think.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
Actually the thirty-second.

Prior Walter:
Not according to mother.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
Oh, then she's including the two bastards. I say leave them out. I say, no room for bastards. These little things you swallow...

Prior Walter:
Pills.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
Pills. For the pestilence. I too...

Prior Walter:
Pestilence... you too what?

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
The pestilence in my day was much worse than it is now. Whole villages of empty houses. Look outdoors and you see Death walking in the morning, as plain as I see you now.

Prior Walter:
You died of the plague.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
The spotty monster. Like you, alone.

Prior Walter:
I'm not alone.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
You have no wife, no children.

Prior Walter:
I'm gay.

Prior Walter Ancestor #1:
Well, be gay, dance in your altogether for all I care, what's that to do with not having children?

Prior Walter:
Gay homosexual, not bonny, blithe and... never mind.
