LADY MACBETH: Ooh, I think we’re gonna do quite well at this, don’t you?
MACBETH: Absolutely. Oh.
HOST: Ready for your first statement?
MACBETH: “I would do anything to be king.”
MACBETH & LADY MACBETH: Oh.
LADY MACBETH: Or queen.
MACBETH: Mm‑hmm. I think — strongly agree.
LADY MACBETH: We would kill to be king. Yeah. Easily.
MACBETH: Whoa, whoa, whoa. No one said anything about killing.
LADY MACBETH: Well, it was strongly implied.
MACBETH: Well… if chance will have me king, then chance may crown me without my stir. I don’t need to do anything. I’ll just leave it to the universe.
LADY MACBETH: He’s thinking about it.
MACBETH: Nah. Can you see?
LADY MACBETH: Yeah. Your face, my thane, is as a book. Very easy to read. We’re gonna need to work on that. Do you want to do the next one?
LADY MACBETH: Are you going to move your cup?
MACBETH: Yeah. No. Yeah. No. No. No. No.
LADY MACBETH: It is slightly leaning to agree, though, isn’t it?
MACBETH: You didn’t move it back. So that’s something. I can work with that.
MACBETH: “You can’t trust a prophecy.”
LADY MACBETH: Ooh.
MACBETH & LADY MACBETH: Strongly disagree.
MACBETH: Hundred percent. Can’t trust a prophecy? Sorry. Thane of Glamis. Thane of Cawdor. King hereafter.
LADY MACBETH: And I have just been made Thane of Cawdor.
MACBETH: And shalt be what thou art promised. King.
LADY MACBETH: Thank you, witches.
MACBETH: “We should kill King Duncan.”
LADY MACBETH: Sorry — who writes these questions? They’re madly specific.
MACBETH: They are literally all about killing kings. Just to say. Paul Mescal did this one.
LADY MACBETH: We will proceed no further in this business.
MACBETH: Right.
LADY MACBETH: And I thought you were a real man.
MACBETH: I loved him. We all loved him. Where’s he gone? No. No, no, no.
LADY MACBETH: Live a coward in thine own esteem.
MACBETH: Thank you. I dare do all that may become a man.
LADY MACBETH: Oh? I could do it.
MACBETH: Okay. I’ll do it now.
LADY MACBETH: I’m waiting.
MACBETH: Do you want me to do it now?
LADY MACBETH: I’d love to see it.
MACBETH: I’ll do it now. I’ll do it now.
LADY MACBETH: I’d love to see it.
MACBETH: Wow. Is that it?
LADY MACBETH: Yeah.
MACBETH: Really?
LADY MACBETH: Yeah.
MACBETH: Not going any further?
LADY MACBETH: What if we should fail? Hypothetically.
MACBETH: Then we fail.
LADY MACBETH: Hypothetically.
HOST: What are you guys going for?
MACBETH: I am settled.
LADY MACBETH: Just popping out.
MACBETH: Have you guys ever had your prophecy done? I could not recommend it enough.
MACBETH: Good to sing. It’s really good to sing.
LADY MACBETH: Did you hear that?
MACBETH: I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.
LADY MACBETH: Was that it?
MACBETH: Oh babe, give those to me.
HOST: Are you guys okay? What’s going on?
MACBETH: Let’s all consider it not so deeply. We can edit this out, right?
MACBETH: “Pineapple works on pizza.”
Don’t know what pineapple is or pizza, but…
LADY MACBETH: I don’t trust it.
MACBETH: You’re right.
LADY MACBETH: I don’t think we can trust Banquo.
MACBETH: Okay babe — let’s focus on the question. Full of scorpions is my mind.
LADY MACBETH: You must leave this. We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
MACBETH: What’s to be done?
LADY MACBETH: Where are you going?
MACBETH: I’m just going to talk to some people.
LADY MACBETH: Don’t answer me. Fantastic.
MACBETH: So what is it? Some kind of cheese thing?
LADY MACBETH: Oh look who’s back.
MACBETH: Hey babe… gonna sit down?
LADY MACBETH: I can’t.
HOST: Okay. Last one.
MACBETH: “Blood will have blood.”
LADY MACBETH: Bit dark. What did Paul Mescal say?
MACBETH: Just popping out.
LADY MACBETH: Great. Thanks. Now look what you’ve done.
LADY MACBETH: Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
MACBETH: Has anyone got a wet wipe?
Thanks.
It’s really not coming off.
I’m gonna need the whole pack.
