The Old General:
[Speaking to the old Ayah, who dates back to when the palace, now intended for nuns, was used to house Toda Rai's father's concubines]
Now listen, Ayah. I have invited some ladies to stay here, at the "house of women."
Angu Ayah:
[Ecstatic, not realizing that the "ladies" Toda Rai is referring to are nuns]
Ladies! Oh, that will be like old times!
The Old General:
It will not be in the least like old times. They are not that kind of "lady" at all!
Angu Ayah:
Then they won't be any fun.
The Old General:
They are not coming for fun. These are nuns. Do you know what a nun is?
Angu Ayah:
[Disdainfully]
They kneel and pray all day like the monks you invited last year.
The Old General:
I'm going to give them this house to make a school and a hospital for the people.
Angu Ayah:
[Agitated, her voice rising]
You know nobody here wants a school, and I'm sure they don't want a hospital!
The Old General:
How do they know what they want until they try?
[Mr. Dean enters the room]

The Old General:
The people have all kinds of diseases. They have ringworms.
Mr. Dean:
They don't mind having ringworm.
The Old General:
Then they ought to mind. And it will all be free!
Angu Ayah:
It was free last time, and nobody came!
The Old General:
They will this time.
