A scene from Barbarella 1968
Great Tyrant

[The Concierge leads Barbarella to a room, where the menacing woman emerges, both eyes now intact.]

So, my Pretty-Pretty, we meet again.

Barbarella

You! The little one-eyed wench!

Great Tyrant

You have a good memory, Pretty-Pretty. Yes, sometimes I like to go among my people. Be like them. Ordinary. "Evil", as you would call it. So... I'm your little one-eyed wench. I'm also the Great Tyrant.

Barbarella

Well! That's nice.

Great Tyrant

It amuses me immensely! Now I suppose you're interested in the whereabouts and welfare of a certain party, yes?

Barbarella

W— yes, I am! I'm here on the orders of the President of the Republic of Earth. I'm here to find Durand-Durand.

Great Tyrant

I'm not talking about him! I'm speaking of the angel!

Barbarella

Pygar?

Great Tyrant

Yes, Pygar. He has escaped the labyrinth. Crime. He has destroyed twelve of my black guards. Crime. And he dares to deprive me of a pleasure unique in Sogo — an Earthling. Crime! Crime!

Barbarella

Where is Pygar?

Great Tyrant

You want your fine-feathered friend?

Great Tyrant

[The Great Tyrant nods her head toward something behind Barbarella.]

There he is.

Barbarella

[A curtain of snow dissolves to reveal Pygar, tied to a crossbar, wings spread as if crucified.]

Pygar!

Great Tyrant

Amusing, isn't it, Pretty-Pretty? Don't you feel like playing?
. . .

Barbarella

[Barbarella surreptitiously draws Pygar's concealed blaster and grabs the Great Tyrant.]

De-crucify the angel!

Great Tyrant

What?

Barbarella

De-crucify him or I'll melt your face!
. . .

Great Tyrant

[The Concierge relieves Barbarella of her discharged weapon.]

So it was a trick, was it? You should have saved your tricks for... for...

Concierge

For the birds, Your Majesty?

Great Tyrant

Yes! Yes, the birds! The birds! Give her to the birds!
