John Ralston: Ming the Merciless

Quotes 

• Ming : Her people are as mad as she is.

  Rankol : Indeed. But doesn't that make them all the more dangerous?

• Rankol : Source water production is decreasing faster than we had predicted. We may not have enough to meet our guarantees.

  Ming : Yes, I'm aware of the problem.

  Rankol : Might I suggest a reduction in rations?

  Ming : We will do nothing of the sort. Because if we do, then people will know there is a shortage.

  Rankol : Which there is.

  Ming : No, Rankol, there is no shortage - and I will see to it that there never is!

  Rankol : Yes, but until our agenda succeeds, the problem of a shortfall remains!

  Ming : Enough! There is no shortage, there never will be a shortage, and you mention it again and I will rip that ridiculous plate from your skull and dig out your brains until I find the part that makes you so supremely annoying! We will meet our demands.

• [as a show of power, Ming makes a small slice in Drav's throat] 

  Ming : And don't drip on your way out. I'm tired of cleaning up your mess.
