Act III, Scene ii
LOCATION: The hallway of the King’s royal palace, replete with Goya paintings and lit candles lining the walls.
PUTANA and GIOVANNI are seen in a quiet corridor, away from Annabella’s chamber, away from the rest of the party.
PUTANA has a fan in one of her hands and she is waving herself with feverishness as she informs GIOVANNI of her deepest concerns.
I Fear That She May Be a Whore
PUTANA:
OH MY GOD, GIOVANNI
I'VE GOT SOME TERRIBLE NEWS FOR THEE
IT'S YOUR SISTER'S ROBE
I FEAR HAS BEEN SOLD
SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS VOMITTING
AND SAID THAT SHE COULDN'T EAT
SHE SAID THAT WHEN SHE WALKED UPSIDE
THAT ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO DIE
OH MY GOD, GIOVANNI!
I SUSPECT SOMETHING MORE
A LITTLE BUN IN THE OVEN
I FEAR THAT SHE MAY BE A WHORE
I'VE ALWAYS STOOD RIGHT OVER HER
STOOD THERE RIGHT BY HER SIDE
ALL SHE'D DO WAS FOLLOW ME
SHE EVEN HAD A CURFEW!
THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE DISTRESSING
I WONDER IF SHE CAN ABORT
DESTROY THAT LITTLE SEED INSIDE
AND MAKE HER YOUTH MORE LONG
OH MY GOD, GIOVANNI
THIS NEWS I CAN'T TAKE MORE
YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO HER BEDSIDE
AND MAKE SURE SHE
DOESN'T WHORE!
DOESN'T WHORE!
DOESN'T WHORE!
FLIPS A TRICK
AND GETS UNDERBED
ALL FOR A GREENBACK
TRIES TO HIDE
WHAT'S BURIED INSIDE
SHE CAN'T RUN FROM US
WHEN THE TRUTH
IS REVEALED TONIGHT
WE WILL ALL BE DESTROYED
DESTROYED!
OH MY GOD, GIOVANNI
THIS NEWS WILL BE OUR DEMISE
WATCH THE CLOCK
AS IT QUICKLY TOCKS
OUR FATE HAS ALL BUT ARRIVED!
THEY'LL CHARGE ME
OF GREAT TREASON
AND
HANG ME BY THE NECK
SAY GOOD BYE
TO YOUR DEAR SERVANT
AS THE GUILLOTINE
CHOPS HER HEAD!
GIOVANNI shakes his head as PUTANA finishes the last note of her song.
Lights out.
END SCENE.
