Oooff, same play, near the end of Act two, the women shout "Fire, Fire". Again, probably shouldn't be in the play, if it being performed indoors in a wooden building.

What if some more straight-laced person (like Neil Gorsuch) had been the one to try and overthrow the rule of law and become a dictator. We'd have nothing to grab onto to take him down.
