It could turn into powder and dust just like the empress if you don't take care of it. Oscar in Fanny and Alexander, 1983): Den tillhör er, världens dyrbaraste stol, var rädda om den. Den är mycket ömtålig, den går lätt sönder, metallen som levat i milliarder år, femtioniotusen meter under jorden har tröttnat på mänskorna, den kan falla sönder i stoft och damm precis som kejsarinnan om ni inte är rädda om den.
