REG Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.
STAN Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN I want to be one.
REG What?
STAN I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG What?!
LORETTA It's my right as a man.
JUDITH Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA I want to have babies.
REG You want to have babies?!
LORETTA It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA Don't you oppress me.
REG I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA [crying]
JUDITH Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG What's the point?
FRANCIS What?
REG What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
