Ned Kynaston:
Do you know the Five Positions of Feminine Subjugation?
Maria:
What?
Ned Kynaston:
The Five Positions of Feminine Subjugation. No? Perhaps you're more acquainted with the Pose of Tragic Acceptance. Or the Demeanor of Awe and Terror.
Maria:
Mr. Kynaston.
Ned Kynaston:
How about the Supplicant's Clasp or the Attitude of Prostrate Grief?
Maria:
Mr. Kynaston.
Ned Kynaston:
Funny, you've seen be perform them a thousand times. I'd have thought they'd taken hold.
Maria:
Mr. Kynaston!
Ned Kynaston:
Ah, well now, there's a feminine gesture. You seem to have managed the Stamp of Girlish Petulance.
Maria:
I just wanted to act. I just wanted to do what you do.
Ned Kynaston:
I have worked half my life to do what I do. Fourteen boys crammed in a cellar... Do you know when I was in training for this profession, I was not permitted to wear a woman's dress for three long years, I was not permitted to wear a wig for four - not until I had proved that I had eliminated every masculine gesture, every masculine intonation from my very being. What teacher did you learn from? What cellar was your home?
Maria:
I had no teacher, nor such a classroom. But then, I had less need of training.
