- [the heroes bring the Stormqueen before her subjects]
- Zar: Supremacy of one sex over the other is evil, and it's also ridiculous, as we will now show you.
- [Zar tears off the Stormqueen's robes, revealing her secret]
- Loud Citizen: [Shocked] It's a... a man!
- [the shocked villagers either laugh or gasp]
- Sulan: [laughing] After all, behind every great woman, there's a man.
- Stormqueen: People of Ishtan, you don't understand! Listen to me! You can't blame me for being born a boy. My mother made me do it. So I can be queen too.
- [turning to one of Stormqueen's studs]
- Loud Citizen: Parasite! You knew all along!
- Accuser: You Tani, treasury guard, you abused our trust by stealing gold.
- Tani: That's a lie! I didn't steal it, I borrowed it.
- [the crowd loughs]
- Accuser: You Asha, huntress and warrioress, this is the wrong you've done...
- [a man is dragged into the court]
- Tani: Turo!
- [crying over his body]
- Accuser: You brought a man among us. Against our customs, you lived with him in secret. Why?
- Asha: Because I love him!
- Accuser: No more from you.
- [pause]
- Accuser: Kinya, oracle of the goddess, keeper of the sacred lioness, where has she been now, where is our lioness god?
- Kinya: I set her free, as you well know.
- High Judge: Sacrilege!
- Kinya: Wasn't it sacrilege to lock up the goddess in her cage?
- High Judge: We'll hear no more of this! Listen, Kinya!...
- Kinya: You do not listen! Simply listen to me, and I'll listen.
- High Judge: By your long tongue you've condemned yourself. You listen too much and speak too much.
- Kinya: Where we come from we're not accustomed to men.
- Sulan: We've heard of Kymbia. I guess no men at all is better than slaves men.
- Zar: That's for us. We're rebels.
- Ara: Rebels? Against what?
- Zar: The men of this land have two alternatives: to be a stud, or a dronie, which is neither. We want freedom.
- Ara: Is the option of you to rebellion to enslave women?
- Zar: We don' want to dominate anyone.
- Sulan: [off camera] All we want is equality.
- Zar: Domination over sex or the younger is evil. It's happening to you too.
- Ara: Yes... if things were different, my sister would still be alive.
