Oh, my dear wife, I have big news! Today, when I was fighting bravely, I met three strange women. They called me “Thane of Cawdor” and then “King of Scotland”!
(Eyes wide) King of Scotland? Macbeth, this is amazing! Is it true? Did they say you will be king?
Yes, they did! But then, a messenger came and told me the King made me “Thane of Cawdor.” The first part of the witches’ words came true!
(Smiling, but with a determined look) Macbeth, this is wonderful! You must be king. If you don’t become king, you will be sad. If you are sad, I will be sad too. We must make it happen!
Make it happen? How, my love? The King is a good man.
We need a plan. We need to be strong and clever.
Hello, Macbeth! Hello, Lady Macbeth!
We know your big dreams! You want the crown, don’t you?
Who are you? How do you know my name and my thoughts?
We are the weird sisters. We see the future.
Yes, we see you will be King of Scotland! Congratulations!
(Steps forward, speaking boldly) Tell us more! How will he become king? What must we do?
(Chuckles) You must be brave. You must be… clever.
The path to the crown is not always easy. Sometimes, you must do… difficult things.
Difficult things? What do you mean?
Think about it, Macbeth. A new king will visit soon.
Make the most of this chance! The future is yours!
(Confused) What did they mean, “difficult things”? I don’t like this.
(Takes Macbeth’s hand, her voice low and intense) Macbeth, listen to me. This is our chance. The witches spoke the truth. We will be king and queen. Don’t be afraid. We will be strong together. We will do what we must do.
(Looks at his wife, then into the distance, a mix of fear and ambition in his eyes) King of Scotland…
Yes, my king. Soon.
