Saionji drew himself up and intoned impressively, "If a diner cannot lift the lid of his entree, he will die without ever eating dessert."
"We are the diner," said Miki. "The world is our entree. If we cannot lift the lid, we will die without ever eating dessert."
"Lift the lid of the world!" Saionji declared grandly.
"For the Revolution of the Restaurant!" the two former councillors said together, raising their water glasses in a toast.
