The messenger always says that.

[From the movie '300'] Messenger: Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas. They may be your last as king.

King Leonidas: [to himself: thinking] "Earth and water"?

[Leonidas unsheathes and points his sword at the Messenger's throat]

Messenger: Madman! You're a madman!

King Leonidas: Earth and water? You'll find plenty of both down there.

Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger!

King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same! Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness!

King Leonidas: Madness...?

[shouting]

King Leonidas: This is Sparta!

[Kicks the messenger down the well]

>>King Leonidas: This is Sparta!

But this America - not Sparta, and we don’t have “Kings” or, despite the efforts of GoProud queers in the military and elsewhere, “Queens” ruling over us.
