DESCRIPTION

Not being one to skimp on preparation, Violet resolves to do some stretches before she embarks on the final phase of her mission. Her body, after all, is a precision instrument, and one must always make sure one's instrument in in good working order before one uses it. So, she begins a series of stretches that under normal circumstances would be perfectly innocuous, had she been attired as she thought she was. In her current situation, though, she's drawing a bit of a crowd. Still, the admiration that she seeks is, technically, there.

When I decided that Violet would be Dutch, I was just thinking about her having an accent. The Baroness had one, after all, and she is a parody of the Baroness. (plus a few other bad girls of 80s toy merchandising cartoons) I picked Dutch mostly because of Austin Powers, and Michael Caine's line about not trusting the Dutch. It's a country mostly known for tulips and windmills: an unlikely place for a villain to hail from, Rutger Hauer notwithstanding. When I began to look up Dutch words to pepper Violet's speech with, however, I never dreamed what a gift to comedy the Dutch language would be. Every word I looked up was super long, clangy, and clashed with English in the most perfect way. Even the short words have a comedic charm that's undeniable. The words for "one" "two" and "three", for example, are exactly what I needed them to be for this scene.

Sometimes snap decisions work out for the best, and picking Dutch for Violet's nationality was exactly that.
