SCENE III Part C


CREON

What are you going to do to me? Banish me?


OEDIPUS

Ha! You should be so lucky. I'm gonna put a picture of your severed head right here on my jam-jams!


CREON

So you refuse to trust me, eh?


OEDIPUS

Trust you! Ha! Remember when we did that trust exercise to build up castle teamwork! Where you had to fall and let the other person catch you? You let me fall! Every stinking time! And everyone thought it was the funniest thing!


CREON

Well, I didn't think you'd fall for it twenty-three times. It just got funnier and funnier. I couldn't help it. Like, when were you gonna catch on?! Even the teacher was laughing!


OEDIPUS

Well it was a TRUST exercise! You're supposed to TRUST your partner! That should have been my first clue, you traitorous sceptre-leech!


CREON

I think the lesson to be learned then was that there is a time to not trust.


OEDIPUS

Aha! My point exactly!


CREON

Wait! I didn't mean it that way! You can't kill me! What if you are wrong about me?


OEDIPUS

Well, I have to do something!


CREON

Not if they're BAD things!


OEDIPUS

Ha! See! Already, judging my decisions. You want the crown more than the priest wants his scooby snacks!


CREON

Nunh-uh!! I do not!!


OEDIPUS

Ugh! You make me sick! I can't believe I ever held hands with you in a very heterosexual way!


CREON

Well, at least I never gave the citizens of Thebes a box office view of the royal groin!


PALACE GUARD 6

Uh-oh! Here comes Queen Jocasta! Just in time. Since men are BIOLOGICALLY PREORDAINED to be unable to solve arguments constructively, this dispute requires a woman's touch!


OEDIPUS and CREON

Shut up!

JOCASTA enters amidst whistles and cat-calls from the audience including, but not limited to - Shake it Baby! And Show us your Boobs!

JOCASTA

Oedipus! Are you still in your pajamas?!


OEDIPUS

But these are my favourite jam-jams!


JOCASTA

What the hell are you two yelling about out here?! You're acting like a bunch of three year olds? The-

Someone from the audience yells out -'I'm a three year old! Spank me baby!!'


OEIDIPUS

[to audience] SHUT UP! That's my wife!

NEXT!:

It's good to be the King?
