Please lend us your ears.

Soon my queen shall arrive and dance for all of my guests.

to Queen Vashti Scarlett that we await her presence.
(Guards exit and
go to the queen)
Guard #1:
Queen Vashti Scarlett, King Jack Ahashveros is ready
for you to appear. You must
come now.
Queen:
I will not appear at his party, I will not dance the
hora for his guests. Tell him no!
Queen's Lady:
But your highness, you must obey the King Jack Ahashveros’
wishes.
Guard #2:
But Queen Vashti Scarlett, the consequences!
Queen:
You have my answer. Tell King Jack Ahashveros NO!

King)
Guard #2:
King Jack Ahashveros, Queen Vashti Scarlett has told
us she will not dance for you.
Guard #1:
Yes sire, she has refused to appear.
King: What??
I am outraged! How dare she refuse my request?
She will be dethroned for this act of disrespect. Guards
bring me Queen Vashti Scarlett!
(Guards exit and
bring the Queen to see the King.)
Queen Lady:
Sire, the Queen is here to see you.
King:
Send her in.
Queen:
Yes, sire, you wanted to see me?
King:
You have embarrassed me in front of my guests--for this
you will be banished from this town forever.
