AGATHA REX<br />
61<br />
CHORUS: (Whispering.) Swift and severe…swift and severe…. swift and<br />
severe.<br />
The lights change. HARRY enters and approaches DR.<br />
CREON.<br />
HARRY: Dad?<br />
DR. CREON: What? Oh yes Harry.<br />
HARRY: Do you have a second?<br />
DR. CREON: Actually, now is not a very good time<br />
DR. CREON turns as if to leave.<br />
HARRY: I just wanted to talk to you about <strong>Agatha</strong>.<br />
DR. CREON stops. He turns again to face HARRY.<br />
DR. CREON: <strong>Agatha</strong>. You know, of course, about what she's done?<br />
HARRY: It's all over the school.<br />
CHORUS: (Whispering.) <strong>Agatha</strong> <strong>Rex</strong> dyed her hair green.<br />
DR. CREON: You know what I have to do.<br />
HARRY: You have to do what you think is right. You have to follow the<br />
rules.<br />
DR. CREON: (Almost surprised that HARRY would answer that way.)<br />
Exactly! (He claps HARRY on the shoulder.) That's exactly it son. I<br />
must follow the rules. You do see that I have to punish <strong>Agatha</strong>. I’m<br />
glad that we had this chance to talk.<br />
DR. CREON turns as if to leave again.<br />
HARRY: Would you say that I have good sense?<br />
DR. CREON: What?<br />
HARRY: Would you say that I have good sense? A good head on my<br />
shoulders? That I'm sensible?<br />
DR. CREON: (With a laugh.) I think that you have been brought up to be<br />
very sensible.<br />
HARRY: Ok. (He takes a deep breath and runs a hand through his hair.) I<br />
was wondering if there is another side to the story.<br />
DR. CREON: What other side to what story?<br />
HARRY: Sometimes it's hard being the principal’s son. Sometimes people<br />
don't want to tell me things because they think it will get back to you.<br />
They think I'll tell. On the other hand, sometimes people do tell me<br />
things - things you would never find out about because people don't<br />
like to complain to you.<br />
DR. CREON: And why is that?<br />
HARRY: You scare the heck out of people, dad.
