CORDELIA: So, ahem, you got deposed, huh?

GROO: Yes.

CORDELIA: Huh. That sucks.

GROO: The people turned against me.

CORDELIA: Yeah, well, they'll do that.

GROO: Endless committees were formed. Committees splintered into factions, the factions into coalitions, the coalitions turned into subcommittees, until finally the more radical element, spurred by a charismatic leader, did the dance of revolution.

CORDELIA: And here you are.

GROO: Yes.

CORDELIA: So - you don't miss it? You know, the power, castle, concubines, and the royal chippies.

GROO: There was never anyone else.

CORDELIA: Oh.

GROO: I welcomed the overthrow. The tedium of government was too much to bear after a life on the battlefield.

CORDELIA: Your heart wasn't really in it.

GROO: No. That left when you did.

(Groo slowly leans forward and they kiss. The camera circles around them and as we come back to see the Groosalug's face he has suddenly turned into an ugly, spiny, black monster. Cordy pulls back, staring at him. Groo's voice comes from the monster)

GROO: Princess? Is something wrong?
