Would you leave the Castle now, if you could?

Friday was unfortunate. But for most of the year, surely it has given us a comfortable home and the most singular of friends.

And so, as for myself, I would not. I should like to tarry here a little longer, if only to relish the taste of liberty and the fruits of invention. Refrigerators are so magnificent!

[ With that, she will be in the kitchen with the fridge door open, sticking her hands into it with glee. ]

[That's interesting...!]

You come from a castle, lovely Lucrezia?

I do. It is in Pesaro, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

[ She chuckles. ] I enjoy the nearby forest more than the stone walls. There are wild deers and little springs among the ancient trees.

Man, it sounds like you lived in some sorta fairy tale place.

Perhaps I do. All that is missing is a gallant prince to rescue me from this castle.

Sorry, my lovely Lucrezia, but I'm afraid I don't know any princes.
