A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Appointments of machinery fall under my sole prerogative, and the dishwasher is already loyal, having never once contradicted me. It shall be Minister of Water, with a portfolio of plates and a modest honorarium of nine dollars. The haddock objects; the haddock can wait.
