AGATHA :
(SHUDDERING)
No, no, no. Please, no.
No. No, please.
(BREATHING RAGGEDLY)
(Gets tied to a stake — which is harsh
because they hanged witches in America,
not burned them —
So this is actually significantly
worse than the fate
that would have been waiting
for her, had she been convicted
by The Muggles / Men of Salem
in the daytime Witch Trials
then-ongoing — )
(GRUNTS IN PAIN)
The Court of Shrews :
Agatha Harkness,
Are You a Witch?
AGATHA :
YES — I am
A Witch.
The Court of Shrews :
Yet you have betrayed
your coven.
AGATHA :
I have NOT!
The Court of Shrews :
You STOLE knowledge above
your AGE and STATION.
You practice
The DARKEST
of Mag!ck.
AGATHA :
I know…
I know nothing
of these ‘crimes’.
I… I swear it.
The Court of Shrews :
Enough deception!
AGATHA :
I did not break
your ‘rules’.
……..They simply bent
to My Power.
(WITCHES CHANTING IN LATIN)
AGATHA :
Wait.
(CHANTING CONTINUES)
AGATHA:
No. I cannot control it! I…
If only you would teach me!
(Turns to Evanora)
Help me! Please!
Mother, PLEASE!
PLEASE! Mother!
Evanora :
(JOINS IN CHANT)
AGATHA :
No!
