Plot: Alexandria, 391 AD: Hypatia teaches astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy. Her student Orestes is in love with her, as is Davus, her personal slave. As the city's Christians, led by Ammonius and Cyril, gain political power, the institutions of learning may crumble along with the governance of slavery. Jump ahead 20 years: Orestes, the city's prefect, has an uneasy peace with Christians, led by Cyril. A group from the newly empowered Christians has now taken to enforce their cultural hegemony zealously; first they see the Jews as their obstacle, then nonbelievers. Hypatia has no interest in faith; she's concerned about the movement of celestial bodies and "the brotherhood of all". Although her former slave doesn't see it that way.

Quotes:

Hypatia: Synesius, you don't question what you believe, or cannot. I must.

Hypatia: [Looks up at night sky] If I could just unravel this just a little bit more, and just get a little closer to the answer, then... Then I would go to my grave a happy woman.

Heladius Dignitary: The majority of us here... have accepted Christ. Why not the rest of you? It's only a matter of time and you know it.::Hypatia: Really? It is just a matter of time?... As far as I am aware, your God has not yet proved himself to be more just or more merciful than his predecessors. Is it really just a matter of time before I accept your faith?::Heladius Dignitary: Why should this assembly accept the council of someone who admittedly believes in absolutely nothing?::Hypatia: I believe in philosophy.

Hypatia: Ever since Plato, all of them - Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Ptolemy - they have all, all, all tried to reconcile their observations with circular orbits. But what if another shape is hiding in the heavens?::Davus: Another shape? Lady, there is no shape more pure than the circle; you taught us that.::Hypatia: I know, I know, but suppose - just suppose! - the purity of the circle has blinded us from seeing anything beyond it! I must begin all over with new eyes. I must rethink everything!... What if we dared to look at the world just as it is. Let us shed for a moment every preconceived idea - what shape would it show us?

Davus: I was forgiven but now I can't forgive.::Ammonius: Forgive? Who the Jews?::Davus: Well Jesus pardoned them on the cross.

Quotes:

Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Simply try for one hour to behave like gentlemen.

[last lines]::The Superintendent: [as she is leaving, the superintendent follows her out with her umbrella] Mrs. Wilberforce, wait! Just a moment! [Holding out the umbrella] You forgot it, mum.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: [Reaches for it, then changes her mind] Oh. Oh, no I don't think I want it. I never liked it. Now I can buy a dozen new ones.

Professor Marcus: One-Round, there is a wheelbarrow outside, could you fetch it? The Major has a train to catch.

[Mrs. Wilberforce has knocked on the door and the Major is about to open it]::Louis: [Aside to Harry] Excuse me, Major Courtney, I wonder if perhaps you'd like some tea?::[the Major opens the door]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: I wonder if perhaps you'd like some tea, Major Courtney?

[after Louis has 'dealt' with the Major on the roof']::Professor Marcus: Well, where is he? Where *is* the Major? Is he up there still?::Harry: No, no, he, uh, he come down.::Professor Marcus: Well bring him here!::Harry: He come down... with the chimney-pot.::Professor Marcus: With the chimney- ?::[chuckles]::Professor Marcus: Is he hurt?::Louis: I shouldn't think he felt a thing.

One-Round: I said nobody was to do her! [Begins attacking Louis, who beats him continuously over the head with a blackjack. Mrs. Wilberforce comes out of the next room]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Mr. Harvey!::One-Round: I said - I said nobody was to do Mrs. Lopsided!::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Stop that!::[Louis hits One-Round one last time with the blackjack]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: What *are* you doing? [Adjusting her hat] And who is "Mrs. Lopsided," may I ask? Where is Mr. Robinson?::One-Round: He's, uh, he's outside.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Somebody took the key. The cello case is gone!::One-Round: It's, uh, out there too.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Well... bring it in. [One-Round heads outside] I fell asleep. Somebody took the key out of my pocket. I'm *very* angry!::Professor Marcus: As you have every right to be. It's disgraceful, Mrs. Wilberforce, shameful! Mr. Robinson will answer for it.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: [One-Round brings in the cello case] I'll take that, thank you. Professor Marcus, this is another black mark against you. I shall certainly tell the police. [she goes back into the nextk room]::Professor Marcus: [as she shuts the door] What happened?::One-Round: I thought they'd, uh, done 'er in. I thought, uh, I thought Harry done 'er.::Professor Marcus: So?::One-Round: So all right, I made a mistake!::Professor Marcus: [Puts his face in his hand] Put him in the barrow...

[Harry and Marcus are distracting Mrs. Wilberforce while Louis deals with the Major on the roof]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: It won't do any harm to tell you now that Major Courtney has gone to the police. They'll be here shortly.::[there is a loud crash from outside]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Oh! Whatever is that?::Harry: I expect something fell off the roof, mum.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: The roof?::Harry: Probably a... chimney-pot.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: A chimney-pot?::Professor Marcus: See who it is, Harry::[pushes Harry out the door]

One-Round: [looking blankly at his cello] Are we supposed to make noises with these things? What kind o' noises?::Louis: Who is she?::Professor Marcus: Not "noises," One-Round, *music*!::Louis: I said what does she mean, you... [Professor Marcus shushes him and turns on the record, dancing a bit to the music]

Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: ...May I ask you where you studied?::One-Round: ...Well, I didn't really study any place, Lady... I just sort of... picked it up.::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: You know, I was so surprised when I heard what you were playing. It brought back something that, really, I'd completely forgotten all about: my 21st birthday party. You see, my father had engaged a string quintet to come in and play in the evening; and while they were playing Boccherini, someone came in and said the old queen had passed away. And everyone went home. And that was the end of my party, all that time ago, in Pangbourne.::[Silence]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll run and make the tea. The kettle *must* be nearly on the boil.::[She leaves]::One-Round: Who's she talkin' about? Old queen who?

[She knocks on the door]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: [pacing] Oh, oh dear, oh dear. Poor Mr. Robinson.::[She knocks again; the music stops and Claude opens the door]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: I'm so sorry, Major Courtney, but I'm afraid General Gordon has bitten Mr. Robinson's finger. Now he's on the top of the cabinet and refuses to come down.::Louis: Mr. Robinson is on top of the cabinet?::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Oh, no Mr. Harvey. General Gordon. Mr. Lawson, you're the tallest. Do you think you could try to get him down for us?::One-Round: Sure, I'll get 'im, mum [he starts down the stairs]::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Oh, I feel I'm being such a bother.::Louis: How could you possibly think a thing like that?::Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Oh, you *are* kind.
