You are on page 1of 8

we're now joined in the studio by two

heroes of the day

Macbeth and Banquo congratulations

gentlemen you've had quite a day

defeating the rebel MacDonald driving

the Norwegians out of the north

capturing the traitorous Thane of Cawdor

truly amazing order has been restored in

the Scottish Kingdom I had my moments

it's true but you should see this guy

out there I mean that's amazing on the

battlefield sorted this guy head off

that guy nave to chaps and all that

exactly did you see that one I heard

about it they should call you that mr.

nave to chaps I was in a zone today I

have to confess though the Norwegians

had me a little worried oh my god they

were huge they must have been like eight

feet tall but they had those maces and

by the time they got it over their head

you could just dart in their timber well

again congratulations does this kind of

thing happen often

you mean war yeah this strife and

conflict sounds pretty chaotic

it's a warrior society Davina social

order is a fragile thing which is why it

needs to be defended no matter how much

destruction it brings with it yes well


it sounds like a real mess out there but

the good news is the war is won as you

put it so foul and fair a day I have not

seen that's right so foul and fair a day

the battlefield looks like the end of

the world all the dead bodies the blood

the fog the smoke I've never seen worse

that's the foul part yes but we've won

we're the victors an order has been

restored despite the incredible odds

that we were up against the fair part

exactly so foul and fair a day I have

not seen right so then here the two of

you are on your way back from the

battlefield when you run into three

women I suppose you suppose we run into

them or you suppose they're women oh you

definitely run into them but you're not

sure what to make of them

you Banquo described them as withered

and wild in their appearance that they

look unearthly somehow and that they

might be women well you think they look

like women except for their beards we

demand that they speak they must tell us

what they are

they speak but they take turns hailing

you as they should a hail is a greeting

a respect at least they know their place


well the first one hails you Macbeth as

Thane of gloms so they know who I am

you are the Thane of glance I am well

the second one hails you as Thane of

Cawdor what well that makes no sense

you're not the Thane of Cawdor no I just

captured him on the battlefield well

then the third one says all hail Macbeth

that shalt be king Hereafter

are you okay yeah what's the matter

buddy they said you should be king

that's good news right they say anything

about me not yet and they can look into

the seeds of time and say which grain

will grow and which will not

I want them to look into my future so I

can know what it is to well let's see

the first one says lesser than Macbeth

and greater well that's confusing then

the second one says not so happy yet

much happier also confusing and the

third one says thou shalt get Kings get

you know get beget have children I guess

they're saying that my descendants will

one day be Kings and then though thou be

none thou shalt get Kings though thou be

none so my descendants will be Kings but

I won't excuse me I want to know why

they called me the Thane of Cawdor the

Thane of Cawdor lives we just captured


him and the idea that I could be king is

what's just not possible no more than

it's possible that I could be the Thane

of Cawdor

so I demand to know what they're talking

about and why they've gotten in our way

like this yeah well sorry it's right

about then that they vanish vanish well

it's a bit foggy as you put it Macbeth

what seemed corporal you know having a

body melted his breath into the wind if

only they'd stayed are you sure we even

saw these creatures I mean maybe we ate

something that was beginning to mess

with our mind is that possible yes

around here if you eat certain

it starts make the brain right takes the

reason prisoner you say takes the reason

prisoner that sounds about right

your children shall be Kings you shall

be king and Thane of Cawdor isn't that

what they said that's exactly what they

said I'm sorry it's right about at this

point that Ross and Angus show up at two

of our Philippines well Ross wants you

to know that the King has heard all

about your success on the battlefield

and is incredibly impressed with your

bravery and military prowess that's what


I'm talking about buddy and as part of

his reward for your accomplishments he

asked Ross and Angus to greet you as

well this is interesting as the Thane of

Cawdor

what can the devil speak true did you

say devil you mean those women you think

they were from the devil the Thane of

Cawdor lives

why do Ross and Angus dressed me in

borrow'd robes

well according to Angus the Thane of

Cawdor is alive that's true but the king

is having him executed for being a

traitor the mom's card or your children

shall be Kings huh

that's what the ones who gave me cod or

said about you I'm sorry gave you cod or

is that what you think happened and what

about you becoming King but you know

what we should be careful here sometimes

evil spirits lead us to destruction by

first earning our trust with the little

things

you mean like the promise of becoming

Thane of Cawdor right something like

that gets our attention but then they

lead us from there and tomorrow danger

you know after gaining our trust

anyway the king is waiting for us would


you mind if I I got a text rustling it's

to let them know that we're on our way

well you don't really need to sure go

ahead two truths are told as happy

prologues to the swelling act of the

Imperial theme two truths oh you mean

the gloms encounter bit and did you say

prologue psyche in a play a play about

becoming King

and I'm confused is what these women

said good news or not cannot be ill

cannot be good that doesn't help

is ill why has it given me earnest of

success commencing in a truth I am Thane

of Cawdor so you're saying if it's bad

why does it start with such good news

that you're thane of cawdor now if good

why do I yield to that suggestion whose

horrid image doth unfix my hair and make

my seated heart knock at my ribs against

the use of nature suggestion hoard image

are you saying that this news has you

imagining terrible things present fears

are less than horrible imaginings I'm

sorry I'm having trouble keeping up what

could be in your imagination that's that

horrible

I thought whose murder yet is but

fantastical murder you're imagining a


murder shakes so my single state of man

that function is smothered in surmise

you're really moving too fast function

smothered in surmise nothing is but what

is not my brain starting to hurt nothing

is but what is not oh I get it

so that thing that's in your brain which

is imagined because it's not real is the

only thing that is because it's the only

thing that you can think about is that

what you're saying and let me get this

straight

are you thinking of killing the king so

that you can become king is that why you

mentioned murder chance will have me

King why chance may crown me without my

stir well that's a good point

if it's her destiny to be king then it

should happen all on its own you

shouldn't have to kill anybody

sorry about that we really should get

going the king is expecting us dude

you need to snap out of it being the

Thane of Cawdor gets siiiy sometimes you

to break into new clothes before they

feel comfortable come what come a time

and the hour runs through the roughest

day that's right let the chips fall

where they may as we like to say time

just keeps on truckin no matter how bad


things get we really have to get going

Duncan's waiting right sorry let's keep

thinking about what happened and talk

about it later as friends would I'd be

happy to good luck gentlemen and again

congratulations on your victory the

battle has been won thanks thank you
