Pallis:  I’m sure that she would care to hear your acumen. As to how your presence is the reason she is sick. But I suppose it’s in vain, since her life is ending…when I thrust this blade into her heart-a-thumping!

Adakias: BROTHER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Adakias: Look at that which surrounds me. I’m supposed to call this home.
The dark has become so overwhelming. So why don’t I just go?

Everyone else: WhY cAn’T yOu Be MoRe LiKe YoUr BrOtHeR!?

Casanovas have charmed with chiffons so Chichi 

chased her with their conceited coteries

Maharajahs have magniloquently mouthed

Their love for me through their menageries

She’s been propositioned

Propounded by every pompous prince

Given panniers of peerless pears

And plums, polished

I’ve been seduced with shimmering, sparkling stones

Squired by suitors to sizable chateaus

And I’m the one she chose!
