Act IV
Scene 2
Athens
Quince's House
Enter Quince, Flute, Snout, Staveling, and Snug.
Quince (Rikishi)
Did anyone tell Bottom of our rehearsal place today?
Snug (The Godfather)
No, not me.
Flute (X-Pac)
Good. Snout?
Snout (Road Dogg)
I felt so bad lying, but I told him we'd be in the woods.
Starveling (Kane)
Good. Very good.
Quince (Rikishi)
Great. Then let's begin. Let's go over the part assignments once more to make sure there is no confusion. Flute, you are playing the role of Thisbe; Starveling, Thisbe's mother; Snug, Pyramus; Snout, Pyramus' father; and I will be playing Thisbe's father. Any questions?
Snug (The Godfather)
Are we going to bag the whole lion roar part?
Quince (Rikishi)
Oh, no, I completely forgot. Since Pyramus is quite a big part, if you have no objections, Snug, we'll have Starveling double as Thisbe's mother and the lion.
Snug (The Godfather)
That's fine with me.
Quince (Rikishi)
Then it's settled.
Bottom enters followed by Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed.
Bottom (Kurt Angle)
Well, here's the company! That's funny. I was under the impression that we were rehearsing in the woods today, the same place we met last time.
Flute (X-Pac)
Who are they?
Bottom (Kurt Angle)
Some friends of mine, concerned with the well-being of an Olympic hero.
A rumble ensues.
