- [Curtains rise to reveal a bedroom, the bed's drapes are still drawn.
- APPLEJACK and three CMC walk in]
- APPLEBLOOM
- They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
- SWEETIE BELLE
- His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
- SCOOTALOO
- His Lordship is a laughing-stock!
- ALL THREE
- Should he suspect her, God protect her!
- Shame! Shame! Shame!
- This faithless lady's bound for HADES!
- Shame! Shame!! Shame!
- [The bed's drapes rise, revealing RARITY and SCOTT GREEN (disguised as a woman) amorously kissing]
- [SCOTT notices the audience and gasps]
- RARITY
- Scott - your disguise is perfect.
- [SCOTT nods in agreement]
- [Three knocks are heard. SCOTT returns to cleaning duties]
- CMC
- Who can this be?
- [APPLEJACK opens the door, and NORMAN walks in, swatting APPLEJACK's bottom]
- [APPLEJACK exits stage]
- NORMAN
- Gentle wife, admit your loving husband.
- My love - I am called to England on affairs of State, and must leave you with your new maid.
- [NORMAN makes as if to grope SCOTT's bottom]
- [NORMAN addresses the audience]
- NORMAN
- Though I'd happily take the maid with me.
- [RARITY addresses the audience]
- RARITY
- The old fool's leaving!
- [NORMAN and RARITY dance for a few moments, then NORMAN leaves, but hides himself by the door]
- RARITY
- Scott - away with this pretense!
- [SCOTT removes his disguise. The CMC gasp in shock]
- RARITY
- You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!
- [They kiss]
- RARITY
- Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
- Haha, Haha...
- Time I tried to get a better better half!
- [NORMAN waves his staff menacingly, but remains hidden]
- RARITY and CMC
- Poor fool, he doesn't know!
- Hoho, Hoho...
- If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!
- [SCOTT and RARITY dance together, in mockery of the previous dance]
- CMC talk amongst themselves as they watch in wonder
- SCOOTALOO
- Such scandal!
- APPLEBLOOM
- Such adultery!
- SWEETIE BELLE
- Such a travesty!
- CMC
- Shame! Shame! Shame!
- [Curtain closes on scene]
- [Curtain rise to reveal NORMAN staring up at the moon in a courtyard]
- NORMAN
- [clenching his staff tightly, he looks mournful]
- A fool I was to think my love
- Would ever be faithful to me
- [NORMAN adopts a mad look. His words rise with anger]]
- Her heart is a titter with this mute knave
- But I will have my day...
- [NORMAN addresses the audience]
- When I burn them at the stake!
- [Reprise]
- Poor fools they make me laugh
- Haha, Haha...
- Time I tried to get a better better half!
- Poor fools, they don't know!
- Hoho, Hoho...
- If they knew the truth, I'll never, ever go!
- [NORMAN laughs like a madman and exits the stage]
- [CMC walk on stage with APPLEJACK]
- APPLEJACK
- Poor old fool, the world is at his feet
- But would you believe all this madness?
- SWEETIE BELLE
- He who watches all
- [overlapping]
- APPLEBLOOM
- He who hears all
- [overlapping]
- SCOOTALOO
- He who sees all
- ALL FOUR
- Our lord waits,
- and how he hates,
- to be cheated!
- APPLEJACK
- Can he pull it off?
- APPLEBLOOM
- Will they burn?
- SCOOTALOO and SWEETIE BELLE
- Lord above spare them.
- ALL
- Or will a miracle save them?
- [EXIT]
