Richard III & Prospero

Man: Sir, there is a man wishing to see you.
Prospero: Who is he did he say his name?
Man: Said his name is Richard III.
P: Well, let him in. Who is this Richard guy who has come to see me?
OHH! Stop right there if you bring news of war i have no interest and you have my permission to leave.
Richard: Sire, I have no intention of war.
P: Who are you? Where do you come from?
R: I come from England sire, my name is richard ııı the duke of gloucester.
P: OHH! Richard from Inglaterra! How are you, how’s th weather?
R: Splendid sire, splendid. Yet there is one problem. Right now is the winter of...
P: Hahahah what is this you are telling me?
R: Sire, my brother King Edward has now taken over the throne. And he claims he will bring happiness into people’s lives.
P: You’re brother has taken over the throne? Ahahaha. What a coincidence. Please Ricardo take a seat. And enough of this sire business please call me Prospero, you know, the Duke of Milan.
R: Thanks p. I have come all the way from england to ask for your advice, I have heard of your fame that has spread through these lands for the past 20 years.
P: My fame? What have I done to be famous?
R: P, I know what you have done. My problem is that my brother Edward has takenover the throne and is now reigning over my people. And being my ambitious self I want the throne for myself. And not for everyone else.
P: OHH.
R: Yeah you might say that, but the truth is I deserve the throne. I’m the only one to control what is going on, I am the only one strong enough.
P: Wait wait, stop. Aren’t you a duke as of now?
R: That’s right Prosper.
P: I myself am a duke. It’s not a big deal.
R: P someone as strong as you should be more than just a duke ruling over such small lands, you should be a king. As should I.
P: but you see I have recnetly been really old and tired, I cannot afford to be the king. I do not even want to be the king. Why should ı be King?
R: P I know what you have done on that island 20 years ago when you were stranded there for a long time. I know what you have done to your brothers and what they have done to you. And P I have come to seek for your advice.
P: OHH! That was twelve years ago. You say yourself.
R: Yes, it was twelve years ago yet it does not matter.
P: I was young and I had magic. Now I have retired from that.
R: It does not matter P. I do not want magical forces. Sir my plan is to, as you have done in the past, to kill my brothers. And take over the throne instead of letting them rule over me for this long time. İ have come to learn about your tactics. Could you help me?
P: Okay if you would like to know the truth then I will tell you. I’d rather be a penniless peasant on the streets than kill my brothers and become king.
R: Sir, haven't you already killed your brothers?
P: No, who told you that? You say my fame is all across Inglaterra, have they not told you that I havent touched a single hair on their bodies? They’re alive and stiff!
R: So you are saying that you forgave them?
P: Hah! But of course I have forgiven them!
R: I do not believe that!
P: I wıll call you my dearest servant Ariel maybe you have heard of him
R: I have heard but I also heard that you left him on the island?
P: Oh no, after he gained his freedom he cam along with me. To help me personally.
R: Oh really?
P: Of course! Ariel, do present yourself and please tell this young gentleman that I have forgiven all my rivals and that I no longer hold any grudge.
A: bla bla bla bla bla
P: So as you can see..and let me tell that Ariel is a very fine and honest soul – no pun intended – and a personal assisstant of mine. Thank you Ariel.
R: I do not like dealing with spirits by the way..So you say you have forgiven your brothers. I frankly do not understand how weak of a personality you could have. To forgive your borthers after what they have done to you?
P: But isn’t that what life is all about?
R: Life is all about gaining power, Prosper, and not about forgiving. You’ve been on that island for 12 years and you still did not manage to kill your brothers?
P: That island you've been referring to has been my home for more than 16 years! Besides life is about forgiveness.
R: That is just rubbish!
P: Now you be careful with your words.
R: You have married your daughter to the first man that she had ever met! You married her to someone that she had never seen before!
P: My daughter was very relieved when she saw the first human being on that island. And she fell in love and now they are very happy!
R: I don't believe you.
P: Then I call my daughter so that she can tell you all about it. Miranda, Miranda! My daughter, my beloved! Please approach my throne and tell this gentleman that you fell in love with Ferdinando at first sight and you are in excellent terms!
M: bla bla bla
P: You see Ricardo. My daughter is quite happy. I am quite happy!
R: Your daughter's husband is merely a fool!
P: You have no right to speak like that about my groom!
R: Well I have no right, and you have no passion! How can you live with being only a duke!
P: My friend you have been blinded by the power of human greed.
R: I am using my brains to accomplish my life time goal and take over the throne!
P: But Ricardo I tell you it is not worth it.
R: I know what is rightful and what isn't! I just requried your help but it is obvios that you are not keen in giving it to me! You have been lying to me since the beginning!
P: Ricardo, Ricardo! How dare you speak to me like that? My brother is still alive and stiff! I can show him to you right now in fact! Ariel, please help me summon Antonio and Sebastian here, because my magic no longer works. This is Antonio my brother, and this is Sebastian. Sebastian tell Ricardo that I have forgiven you because I have a great heart and that you are very regretful of your actions.
S: bla bla bla
P: Thank you Sebastian and Antonio! Ricardo, now you believe.
R: I do apologize Prosper, but I still cannot reason your thoughts about being happy as a duke. A simpel duke!
P: Sebastian tried to kill me but I forgave him and the others, so now we are all in peace.
R: Oh woudl you pelase stop going on about this peace business!! Have you no vision Prosper? Have you no dreams and no passion?!! I will most certainly do whatever it is to take over that throne!!
P: You came all the way to Milano for my advice and you are not taking it? Then do whatever you want Ricardo but do not forget my words!
R: Oh Prosper you are weaker than I could have ever imagined! How can you not fulfill your vengeance?!
P: Then do whatever you want I say!! But remember my words, on the battlefield, when you and your vengeance cry your lungs out screamign and begging for a horse to save your kingdom!
R: A horse? A horse??!!! MY kingdom for a HORSE??!!!!! Are you mad????!!!!
P: Don't do somethign that you will regret Ricardo!
R: My business here is done with!
P: Remember my words Ricardo!
R: (slams door shut behind)
P: Mamma mia! I hope he does not attempt anything...But hopefully one day he will understand that we are such stuff as dreams are made on.. and our little life is rounded with a sleep..
