Act 2 Scene 4

Ross and an Old Man enter.

Old man

Back in my day, I’d seen some horrors you young’uns can’t imagine. Our criminals were so much tougher and yet nobody dared to do some thing like this. We respected our kings.

Ross

(Rolling his eyes).

Yeah, yeah, ok boomer. Even the sky looks mad. It’s supposed to be day yet these clouds are blocking out the sun. I wonder if it’s dark because there’s such evil in the world.

Old Man

It’s about as unnatural as you young’n’s hair color. Are you trying to embarrass your parents? Last Tuesday a falcon was killed by a lowly owl.

Ross

Some wicked rad shizz has been happening. Duncan’s horses, which are swift, beautiful and the best money can by, as all nobles deserve. Suddenly went wild and broke out of their stalls. Refusing to be obedient as the should. They seemed to think they were at war with all mankind.

Old Man

I heard the horses ate each other.

Ross

I saw that with my own two eyes, it was wicked gross. Here comes Macduff.

Macduff enters.

How goes it?

Macduff

Check it for yourself bro.

Ross

Do y’all know who committed such a wicked bad crime?

Macduff

The dudes Macbro killed.

Ross

Shame, I wonder why they did it?

Macduff

They were paid, obvi. Malcolm and Donny B, ran away so they defs did it.

Ross

None of this feels right. What a stupid idea. Does this make Macbest boi king?

Macduff

Yeah dude, he’s already been named king and left to be crowned.

Ross

Where is Duncan’s Body?

Macduff

It was taken to Colmekill to lie with his daddies where the bones of all kings are kept.

Ross

You off to the coronation?

Macduff

Nah, fam. I’m off to Fife.

Ross

Damn, guess I’m off to see it.

Macduff

Hope all is well. Peace mate, here’s hoping shizz don’t get worse.

Ross

Later, Boomer.

Old Man

Good luck bro, god help you.

They all exit.
