Scene 5

Scottish Parliament building.

Enter Wendy and Macduff, R.

Wendy            What are we going to do? That horrid, horrid man! I hate him! Father would never stop us being together. He wasn't like that.

Macduff          I know. There's something rotten in the state of Denmark.

Prompt            Scotland.

Macduff          Scotland.

Wendy            We need to stop him. Isn't there anything we can do?

Macduff          He always has his cronies around him. And the police are no good. He gave them a rise last week, and extra doughnuts at Christmas. They'd probably just accuse us of being terrorists and fling us in jail.

Wendy            I know. We have to get him on his own, then challenge him to a duel or something.

Macduff          Okay. And I think I've got an idea. We need to set up a diversion, to get rid of his security.

Wendy            Yes, it has to be done.

Macduff          We have to fight this horrid man.

Wendy            Defeat his evil if we can.

Macduff          Concoct a plan! We must not cease,

Wendy            'Till we can wed, and live in peace.

Exit Wendy and Macduff, R.
