...Bacchae Revisited...
VIRGINIA: You never listen do you W?  Even though you�ve treated me wrong, I will still warn you: it�s wrong to take up arms against your people, and against your businesses. Keep the peace here at least. The people of America will not stand by if you drive these women from the mountains by force.

W.: Don�t you lecture me! Don�t you tell me how to run my country! You just got free, now why don�t you zip your lips and enjoy it! Or do you want to go to jail?

VIRGINIA: I�d rather do that than see you destroy everything. If I were you I would sacrifice my pride a little for the good of the nation.

W.: I�ll sacrifice, from the blood of these women! They deserve to be punished for disturbing the peace!

VIRGINIA: Your soldiers will turn tail and run, all of them. They will not make it past these women, and that will bring real shame.

W.: It�s impossible to get this woman to shut up! Threatened or free, she just keeps talking.

VIRGINIA: You know, there is still a way to resolve all of this well.

W.: What do you suggest? I take a smoke and just give in to women?

VIRGINIA: I�ll bring the women here�no weapons.

W.: Like hell you will! It�s another trick you�ve invented, against me.

VIRGINIA: Not at all, I just want to use my sway to help you out Mr. President.

W.: It�s a plot! You won�t give up all the profit you can make off these women.

VIRGINIA: I don�t deny that that�s important, but I will survive without this niche.

W.: Bring me my gun! And you, wench, you stay quiet.

VIRGINIA: Wait. ...
(smiles) Would you like to see the women, gathered on the mountain?

W.: Of course, I�d give money to see them. 

VIRGINIA: Really? Isn�t this passion of yours rather, sudden?

W.: Well, I mean, that�s the point of all this isn�t it? Although, it would hurt me to catch them in the middle of something, or drunk, but...

VIRGINIA: Still, while you hated it, you�d enjoy the spectacle.

W.: Yeah, and I could just sit quietly off to the side and not bother anyone.

VIRGINIA: It won�t work. They�ll track you down, no matter how sneaky you are.

W.: You�re right; I should just stay out in the open.

VIRGINIA: Well, do you want me to lead you up there? Are you really prepared for this?

W.: Yes, don�t waste any more time. Lead on!

VIRGINIA: Well, first things first. Let�s fix you up, find a nice linen dress that will flatter your figure.

W.: What? Do you want me to cross dress?

VIRGINIA: They�ll kill you if they see you as a man.

W.: (
looks pensive) Good point, as before. You�ve been pretty cunning all along.

VIRGINIA: It comes from being a woman, it�s inherent.

W.: Alright, let�s get this over with, what do we do first?

VIRGINIA: Just go inside and I�ll fit you out.

W.: How? As a full woman? That�s disgusting!

VIRGINIA: Aw, too bad, seems like you�ve changed your mind and you don�t want to see them.

W.: Ok, so what kind of outfit do you suggest?
