"It Was Kit" Act 1, Scenes 9 and a portion of 10

Scene 9

(Ingram, Nicholas and Blob are in the bushes.  Kit walks by.)

Ingram:    Where do you think you’re going?

Kit:    I’m going to the privy.

Ingram:    The privy?

Kit:    That’s right.

Ingram:    Then by all means, continue.

Kit:    Thank you for your blessing...What are you doing in my bushes?

Blob:    Admiring you lovely foliage.

(Kit shakes his head and leaves.)

Ingram:    Did you hear that?  He’s going to the privy?

Blob:    The Queen’s Privy Council?

Ingram:    What else could he mean?

Nicholas:    Why would he be going to the Queen’s Privy Council?

Ingram:    It must have been that story we made up about Marlowe plotting treason.

Nicholas:    Cripes!  The Queen must be bringing him in for interrogation.  We didn’t factor this into the equation.

Blob:    You don’t suppose he will rat on us, do you?

Nicholas:    Of course he’s going to rat on us!  He is about to be interrogated by the Queen’s Privy Council!  They will torture him until he spills everything he knows!

Blob:    Marlowe knows everything we’ve done!

Ingram:    My embezzling.

Blob:    And the Babington Plot.

Ingram:    Bugger off, Blob.

Nicholas:    They’ll put Marlowe on the rack!  Quarter him!  Boil him!  Disembowel him!  He’ll be sure to blurt something out!

Ingram:    Marlowe is a loose cannon.  He must be silenced.

Will:    (Entering) Kit!  It’s been longer than nine minutes!  Where are you?  (Notices spies) Have you gentlemen in the bushes seen Kit?  I don’t understand what is taking him so long.  I’m rather worried.

Blob:    Keep waiting.  He won’t be back anytime soon.

Nicholas:    He’s being interrogated by the Queen’s Privy Council!

Will:    No!

Ingram:    He’s being charged for treason and will be tortured into confessing.

Will:    (Rushing back inside) Fire and brimstone!

Nicholas:    What do you suppose we should do?

Blob:    Prepare to be hanged.


Scene 10

(Will is pacing around in Kit’s apartment.  Enter Kit.)

Will:    Kit!  Oh, Kit, thank God you’re okay!  You survived!  Oh praise be to Heaven!

Kit:    Will...

Will:    I want you to sit down and tell me all about it.

Kit:    Why?

Will:    Come on, Kit.  Give me details.

Kit:    It’s sort of personal.

Will:    Did it hurt?

Kit:    What’s that to the purpose?

Will:    It must have hurt.  You did a dirty deed.

Kit:    You’re weird.

Will:    How did it feel?

Kit:    I don’t know...Refreshing.

Will:    Refreshing?

Kit:    As a matter of fact, it felt rather good to let it all out.

Will:    You let it ALL out?

Kit:    That is the point.

Will:    I can’t believe you did that.  And with the Queen watching.

Kit:    The Queen was watching?

Will:    Of course.  She watches everything.

Kit:    Even THAT?

Will:    You shouldn’t have done it, Kit.  You should have held it in.  As painful as it might be.

Kit:    It’s not healthy to hold it in.

Will:    Tell me this...Did you let anything out that might have upset the Queen?

Kit:    To be frank, I don’t see how any of this is the Queen’s business.  A man’s...(gesturing towards his bowels) internal affairs are private.

Will:    That’s not what the Queen says.

Kit:    I don’t give a rat’s ass what the Queen says!

Will:    (Shrieks) I didn’t hear you say that.

Kit:    The Queen is a demented woman!

Will:    You are full of crap!

Kit:    Not anymore, I’m not!

(Enter Thomas.)

Thomas:    Kit, you forgot to empty the chamber pot again.

Will:    Chamber pot?

Thomas:    Must you forget to empty the chamber pot every time you go to the privy?

Will:    The priv...(Hides his face as he leaves) Excuse me.

Thomas:    What’s with him?

Kit:    I don’t know, but I learned a little more about the Queen than I needed to know.
