A scene from The Dark Crystal 1982
Emperor

Is it ready?

Scientist

Very fresh. Very strong, sire. [the Emperor consumes the liquid and lumbers over to the mirror] Oh, it will make you young again, sire.

Emperor
[Emperor's face revitalizes. He studies his hands in awe and bursts into triumphant laughter]

Young! Young! Yes, young! [sees his hand withering again; furiously] You fraud! [throws the essence bottle to the ground]

Scientist
[backing away in terror]

Wait! Please, sire!

Emperor
[angrily brushes the bottles off the Scientist's desk]

LIAR! [storms off] Slave squeezer...!

Scientist
[through labored breaths]

It always worked better when we used Gelflings...
