Light And Dark: A Musical

Act 1; Scene 7: Be Prepared

(The stage opens up on Janus, Remus, Jeff, Charles, Megan, and Alex in Remus' house.)

Jeff: I can't believe our plan didn't work! We've been planning it for weeks!

Megan: It's because of that stupid Patton I tell you! He was the first to comfort her. If he didn't, she wouldn't have snapped out of it!

Charles: Stupid Thomas had to go help Patton!

Alex: If Logan didn't notice she spaced out!

Remus: Janus! I had Rose! I made her envision her friends dying, just like you asked! Roman and Virgil came up to me and started fighting me, but I needed to make sure Rose was still distracted! I couldn't do it for long though, it was life or death-

Janus: Shut it, Remus.

Remus: Sorry Janus. 

Janus: It's not the end. 

Remus: How Janus? Your plan failed! You're not going to be king anymore! You won't marry Rose! 

Janus: Shut up Remus! 

Remus: Sorry.

Janus: Trust me, I will still be king. I will still marry Rose. Whether she likes it, or not. 

Alex: How are you going to do that?

Janus: Rose has always been to fixed on finding true love, then finding a perfect king
So, when I am king, the rich will be free to take whatever they want
Because a rich man's belly is never full

Megan: Rose is far too powerful to challenge

Janus: Rose is yesterday's message
A clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage
The need for a different dream
Yes, we won't only rule Lightown
We'll rule Darktown as well. 
My vision is clear and wide-ranging
And even encompasses you
So prepare for the coup of the century
Prepare for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
Decades of denial is simply why I'll be king
Undisputed, respected, saluted
And Rose will fall in love with me at last
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared
Be prepared, be prepared

Remus, Alex, Megan, Jeff, Charles: Be prepared, be prepared

Janus: Be prepared

Remus, Alex, Megan, Jeff, Charles: Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared

Janus: Be prepared

Remus, Alex, Megan, Jeff, Charles: Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared
Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared

Janus: Be prepared

Remus, Alex, Megan, Jeff, Charles: Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared

Janus: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

All: Be prepared
