← Thank you. Okay. First, what happened yesterday. You asked me just now why I turned up with Ismene's gown, with that perfume and lipstick. 🔊✎
← Get to the point. If something has happened, you are all responsible. Stop telling me who is supposed to be here. 🔊✎
← And not a word. You are all guilty of gross negligence, you will be punished whatever happens, but if you talk, if people start saying in town that someone covered up Polynices's body, then all three of you are dead. 🔊✎
← That's all. And then, you just need to let things happen. You can relax. It happens all by itself. It's a piece of precision engineered, well-oiled machinery. 🔊✎
← No, we'll have more fun on our own... You bring the wives, something always happens. And then the fucking kids need to go for a piss and where are you? 🔊✎
← We figured like, right in the middle of the day, what could happen? But anyway we decided, let's be double sure, one of us is always gonna be watching it. 🔊✎
← You knew what I promised would happen to anyone, whoever he may be, who dared give him the funeral rites? 🔊✎
← I've got my feet on the ground, my hands in my pockets, and since I happen to be king, I'm not as ambitious as your father, I just want to make the world a bit less crazy, if I can do that. It's not exactly an adventure, it's just a job. And like all jobs, it's not always fun. 🔊✎
← That's what I wanted you to know., what's happening backstage in this drama where you so want to play a role, what goes on in the kitchen. 🔊✎
← But now, it's over. And they are fine all the same. All the people who were going to die are dead. Those who believed one thing, and those who believed the opposite, and even the ones who didn't believe anything and just found themselves caught up in the story without any idea of what was happening. All equally dead, all of them, stiff and useless and starting to rot. 🔊✎
