Lady Macduff

What did he do, that he had to run away?

Ross

You must be patient, madam.

Lady Macduff

He wasn’t patient. It was crazy to run away! Even when we’ve done nothing wrong, that kind of fear makes us look like traitors.

Ross

You don’t know if he ran away out of wise caution or fear.

Lady Macbeth

What made them drunk made me brave, what made them unconscious has set me on fire. Listen! Shhh! It was an owl that just shrieked like a night watchman, delivering a cruel message of death. He’s doing it, the doors are open and the drunk servants are making a mockery of their responsibilities with their snoring. The drugs I put in their drink were so strong that they seem as dead as alive.

Macbeth

[Inside] Who's there? What!

Duncan

Who’s that man covered in blood?  It looks like he’ll be able to give us the most up-to-date news on the revolt, as he clearly was just wounded.

Malcolm

This is the strong soldier who fought to keep me from being captured. Hello, brave friend! Tell the king what the status of the battle was when you left it.
