Queen Vashti:
My king, my beloved husband! How long I've waited!
King Ahasuerus:
Adulteress.
Queen Vashti:
What? Have you gone mad?
King Ahasuerus:
No, I have my senses or I'd kill you. You shame this palace with your corruption.
Queen Vashti:
Someone has filled your head with lies.
King Ahasuerus:
True! Not lies. The soldiers of my replacements told me, men who fought and died. They had no reason to lie. Who shares your guilt, Vashti? Name them. Name them, I command you!
Queen Vashti:
There are no names. There is no guilt.
King Ahasuerus:
[pauses]
Well, whoever it was, it's best I do not know. My pride would fall with the public punishment. Therefore I condemn you in private.
Queen Vashti:
No!
King Ahasuerus:
You will be forever dead to me.
Queen Vashti:
[embraces Ahasuerus]
Oh no, Ahasuerus! I pray you, believe me! I would rather die a real death than lose you.
King Ahasuerus:
[throws her to the floor]
Now send for your lovers, harlot!
