She also talks about the “second act” of her life, which will apparently be comprised of travelling the globe and “spreading democracy like patient zero,” along with another brief scene where Selina demands that, since she was the first female President of the United States, she won’t work for less than 87 cents on the dollar. However, she adds that she will stand at a glass podium and wear a short skirt.
