Script Lines Scene 2 Flashcards
Rodrigo: Ho there, good players! Let us stop. This looks to be a fine spot for our camp tonight.
Gwendolyne: You’re sillier than I am, Rodrigo. It’s too early to set up camp yet.
Rodrigo: Since the days continue to grow shorter, we must settle down shorter than usual.
Gwendolyne: Let Stephen set up if it grows dark-it’s all the same to him.
Rodrigo: We will have a rehearsal tonight, I think.
Gwendolyne: Must we? If the world is ending, there is no point in practicing.
Rodrigo: Would you have us sit here and do nothing?
Gwendolyne: We could have fun!
Rodrigo: If you can think of something that is our power, feel free to bring it to my attention. I confess I can think of nothing.
Gwendolyne: Where is the sister? Has she forgotten her duties?
Rodrigo: Apparently so.

Magda: But I don’t know how!
Gwen: I will command the animals to tear you to pieces if you do not return the sun!
Stephen: Gwendolyne! You must stop them!
Gwen: I will not!
Rodrigo: Comfort them, Gwendolyne. Tell them we will try to find out what is wrong and make it right again.
Gwen: Do you promise?
Rodrigo: I give you my solemn vow. We will do all we can. And if we find that this girl is to blame, we will force her to bring the sun back. But we must learn the truth first. Yes?
Gwen: Very well.
