Give us some answers! We want answers!
Then follow me and let me speak to you, friends. Cassius, you go into the other street and divide the crowd. Let anyone who wants to hear me speak stay here, and those who wish to hear you can go with you. We'll both give reasons before the public for Caesar's death.
I want to hear Brutus speak.
[To the Soothsayer] The 15th of March has come.
Yes, Caesar, but it is not over.
Greetings, Caesar! Read this schedule.
Trebonius would like you to read over his humble request, at your leisure.
Oh, Caesar, read mine first, for mine is a request that's more relevant to you. Read it, great Caesar!
What’s wrong, Hecate? You look angry.
Don’t I have good reason, you impudent hags? How dare you trade in riddles and fatal matters and make deals with Macbeth without consulting me or asking me to show our dark powers? Me, the source of all your magic and all our evil plans. And, to make things worse, everything you’ve done has been for a disobedient, spiteful man, full of rage. Like most people, he loves only himself and his own ambition.
You all know your places, so please have a seat. From the highest rank to the lowest, I give you a hearty welcome.
Thanks to your majesty.
I will sit among you and act as the humble host. Our hostess will stay in her seat of honor, but when the time is right, she will welcome you also.
Sir, welcome all our friends for me; for they’re welcome in my heart.
Who told you to join us?
Macbeth.
There’s no reason not to trust him, he was given exactly the same orders we were to do the same thing.
Has Banquo left the court?
Yes, madam, but he’s coming back tonight.
Tell the king I’d like to speak to him when he has a moment.
I will, Madam.
Now you have it all, Macbeth. You’re king, Lord of Cawdor, and Lord of Glamis. Everything the witches promised, yet I’m afraid you might have engaged in foul play for it. But they said your children would not be kings, and that instead I would be the father to many kings. If they really spoke the truth – as it seems clear they did from your case, Macbeth – perhaps what they said about me will come true as well. But hush, I better be quiet!
