A quick, vulgar version of Coriolanus. Part II.
Act II, Scene I.
Rome. A public place.
(Enter SICINIUS and BRUTUS, twirling their mustaches)
Sicinius: It's good to be evil!
Brutus: It is! And to be a tribune of Rome!
Sicinius: Yes! Haha! It is good to be an evil tribune!
(Enter MENENIUS)
Menenius: Hey guys. We're gonna make Coriolanus a consul. Wanna come watch?
Brutus: What? But we hate him!!!
Menenius: Yeah, whatever. (Exits)
Sicinius: That blows. Hey! Wanna see if we can get him killed?
Brutus: Great idea! Yippee!
(Exeunt)
Act II, Scene II/III.
Rome. The Forum.
(Enter MENENIUS, MARCIUS and SOME SENATORS)
Menenius: Guys, Coriolanus is awesome. I would gargle his ba...
First Senator: None of that now, Menenius! What do you think this is, Ancient Rome?
Second Senator: No, let's just make him a tribune.
Menenius: Okay. Now, Coriolanus, there's some citizens outside. You don't have to suck up, just be a little nice. Then they'll elect you.
Coriolanus: Okay.
(Coriolanus goes outside, where SOME CITIZENS have gathered to elect him)
First Citizen: Dude! We heard you're awesome!
Second Citizen: Yeah! We want to elect you!
Coriolanus: What? Citizens?!? Fuck you guys!!! (exits)
First Citizen: Oh. What a dick.
Third Citizen: Yeah. I guess... we'll... elect him anyway?
(Enter SICINIUS and BRUTUS)
Second Citizen: Hey! Just what we need, some tribunes! We elect Coriolanus.
Sicinius: Really? But... he's kind of a dick.
First Citizen: Got a better plan?
Brutus: Yep. Lynch mob.
Second Citizen: Lynch mob?
Third Citizen: Lynch mob!!!
(Citizens exeunt, while SICINIUS and BRUTUS twirl mustaches)
Act III, Scene I.
Rome. I don't know, somewhere in Rome. MENENIUS and CORIOLANUS are hanging out with SOME SENATORS.
Menenius: Dude, you're going to love being a consul.
Coriolanus: Okay.
(enter SOME CITIZENS, BRUTUS and SICINIUS)
First Citizen: Coriolanus! We're going to hang your ass!
Coriolanus: Citizens? Fuck you guys!
Menenius: Yeah! He's a consul now.
Second Citizen: Nuh uh! We unelected him!
Menenius: Wait, what?
Brutus: Yep! We can do that because we're tribunes.
Coriolanus: Tribunes? Fuck you guys!
(SICINIUS gives CORIOLANUS the finger)
Citizens (chanting): Hang him! Hang him!
First Senator: Nope. We're just gonna banish him. You know why? 'Cause senator outranks both citizen and tribune.
Coriolanus: Senators!
Second Senator: Fuck us guys?
Coriolanus: Yup. (exits)
(BRUTUS and SICINIUS twirl mustaches)
