Thump Thump Thump Thump Creaaaaakkk, Shhh |
Nervous, very very dreadfully nervous |
|
|
Thump Thump Thump Thump Creaaaaakkk, Shhh |
I have been, and I am. But mad? |
|
|
Thump Thump Thump Thump |
(Evil Cackle) Mad. The (with cheer) disease did not make me mad. It sharpened my senses. You say madness, I say a highly developed sense of hearing. I have exceptional hearing |
|
|
Shhhh |
The scrape of a chair in another room. The fall of a leaf on the ground. I have heard all things in heaven and Earth. I have heard things in hell. Hearing things does not make you mad. |
|
|
(whispering) The eye... Shhhh |
Mad? Ha. Sane. Look. (holds out hand) Look how calm I am. Listen! |
|
|
Thump Thump |
I will tell you the whole story. You'll see how calmly I tell the tale. You will change your mind. (to Old) Morning! |
|
|
Good Morning. |
Sleep well? |
|
|
Like a stone. When, When, When? |
I don't know. It's impossible to say. As soon as the thought entered my mind. |
|
|
Kill the old man, Kill the old man |
It haunted me day and night. |
|
|
Why, Why, Why? |
I don't know! There was no motivation, no wrongdoing on his part. (to Old) Morning! |
|
|
Good morning. |
(to audience) I loved the old man. (to Old) Sleep well? |
|
|
Like a stone. |
He never struck me, nor insulted me. (to Old) Goodnight! |
|
|
Goodnight. |
See you in the morning! (to audience) It was never him at all. (whispering) It was his eye. |
|
|
The eye, the evil, the evil, the eye |
There. The eye of a vulture. Pale blue with a film. And every time that eye looks at me... |
|
|
The eye, the evil, the evil, the eye... What's the matter? |
(starting) Sorry? |
|
|
What's the matter? You're staring. |
Nothing. Sorry. Lost in thought. Ha. |
|
|
The eye... |
Whenever that eye fell upon me, my blood ran cold. |
|
|
Kill the old man |
And so by degrees |
|
|
Kill the old man |
I made up my mind |
|
|
Kill the old man |
To take his life and rid myself of the eye forever |
|
|
Thump Thump |
Morning! |
|
|
Good morning |
Sleep well? |
|
|
Like a stone. Kill the old man |
(evil cackle) You think me mad. The mad know nothing. I know. I am wise. You'll see how wise I am. |
|
|
Thump Thump |
Goodnight |
|
|
Goodnight |
See you in the morning. I was so kind before I killed him. The whole week. And then, I practiced. Midnight. I stand outside his door. Turn the Latch Open the door. Slowly. Slowly. Slow, now. |
|
|
Creeaaaaakkk, Shhh |
The old man's sleep...must..not...be...disturbed. There's just enough space to slip my head in and peek into the room |
|
|
Dong |
Ah! (draws back and shuts door) This takes a whole hour. Would the mad do this? Would the mad be so precise? (to Old) Goodnight! |
|
|
Goodnight |
Would the mad do this for seven nights? Midnight comes, turn latch, open door, slowly, peek, and again. Goodnight |
