Simple rearrangements yield retractions, confirmations and half-sense, all from data contained within the original phrase but brought to the surface by selective quoting. References to dramatic works are conscious parodies, particularly in the close framing of the mouth and the intimation of rapid speech patterns as artificially constructed in the edit.
