The Audience Strikes Back2008

Celine:
You all know about the Ottoman Empire? The Ottoman Empire collapsed under its own weight at the beginning of the 20th Century. [Blank looks from others sitting at table.] You have all seen Lawrence of Arabia, non? [Nods, murmurs.] Do you remember when Lawrence is captured by the Turks. Do you remember Jose Ferrer? Do you remember his moustache? Very decadent moustache. [Mimics Jose Ferrer playing with his moustache.] Do you remember when he rapes Lawrence? That was the Ottoman Empire. And that is Microsoft, non? That is how all empires come to an end: the sweet smell of rot from the inside; and from the outside, the little fishes nibbling at the edges.
