The Missive


SANCHO
(reciting Don Quixote's words)
"Most lovely sov'reign and highborn lady"

ALDONZA
Ho

SANCHO
"The heart of this,
Thy vassal knight faints for thy favor"

ALDONZA
Ha

SANCHO
"Oh, fairest of the fair,
Purest of the pure,
Incomp'rable Dulcinea"

ALDONZA
That again My name is Aldonza!

SANCHO
My master calls you Dulcinea

ALDONZA
Why?

SANCHO
I don't know but I can tell you from experience
that knights have their own language for everything
and it's better not to ask questions because it
only gets you into trouble

ALDONZA
Hm

SANCHO
"I beg thee grant that I may kiss
The nethermost hem of thy garment"

ALDONZA
Kiss my which?

SANCHO
If you keep interrupting, the whole
thing will be out of my head

ALDONZA
Well, what does he want?

SANCHO
I'm getting to it!
"And send to me a token of thy fair esteem
That I may carry as my standard into battle"

ALDONZA
Hm, what kind of token?

SANCHO
He says generally it's a silken scarf

ALDONZA
(rising wiping her bowl with a filthy rag)
Your master's a crackbrain!
I'll give him a token Here
(flings the rag)

SANCHO
But my lady That's a rag!

ALDONZA
Don't you 'my lady' me too or I'll crack you
like an egg! Wait a minute Come here Come here
Sit Sit Why do you follow him?

SANCHO
Oh, that's easy to explain, I I

ALDONZA
Why?

SANCHO
I'm telling you It's because because

ALDONZA
Why?
