Q

(Desiree) What do you mean? (2)

A

I mean⎯do you wish to warn Lucas where the lady lies, so that he might escape death?

17
Q

(Malevario) I mean⎯do you wish to warn Lucas where the lady lies, so that he might escape death?

A

Or do you wish to know where the tiger resides so that you can ensure that your true love does not marry another?

18
Q

(Desiree) What is she doing here?

A

Arabella, how good of you to come.

19
Q

(Desiree) Malevario, what is the meaning of this?

A

Why, Princess Desiree, surely you know the rules of judgement day?

20
Q

(Malevario) Why, Princess Desiree, surely you know the rules of judgement day?

A

The King seeks out the fiercest and most brutal tiger he can find and places it behind one door.

21
Q

(Malevario) The King seeks out the fiercest and most brutal tiger he can find and places it behind one door.

A

And for the other door, the King seeks out the most beautiful and desirable maiden in all of the land.

22
Q

(Malevario) And for the other door, the King seeks out the most beautiful and desirable maiden in all of the land.

A

Arabella has been declared to be that maiden.

23
Q

(Desiree) I think I am going to faint.

A

I know how devastating this must be for you.

24
Q

(Malevario) I know how devastating this must be for you.

A

I, alone, know how much you despise the friendship that exists between Lucas and Arabella.

25
Q

(Malevario) I, alone, know how much you despise the friendship that exists between Lucas and Arabella.

A

And to think that later today, they could be married!

26
Q

(Desiree) In the light of the news, I must know behind which door Arabella is going to be placed.

A

I understand.

27
Q

(Malevario) I understand.

A

I’ll tell you what⎯I will convince the guards to let me place Arabella behind a door,

28
Q

(Malevario) I’ll tell you what⎯I will convince the guards to let me place Arabella behind a door,

A

thus ensuring that I know where she and the tiger each lie.

29
Q

(Malevario) thus ensuring that I know where she and the tiger each lie.

A

I will then pass along that knowledge to you.

30
Q

(Desiree) I knew I could count on you.

A

I am always at your service, Your Highness.

31
Q

(Malevario) I am always at your service, Your Highness.

A

Come, Arabella. We have some final preparations to attend to.

32
Q

(Desiree) Even if the pain and suffering is mine?

A

The guards are ready to bring the accused in, Your Majesty.

33
Q

(Desiree) Did you get the information I requested?

A

I did, Your Highness.

34
Q

(Malevario) I did, Your Highness.

A

And did you decide which door you will send young Lucas to⎯the lady or the tiger?

35
Q

(Desiree) I have.

A

Very well.

36
Q

(King) But I can’t help anticipate which door he will pick.

A

Neither can I.
