Ariel: I’m here, Master.  Prospero: Have you created the tempest as I asked, Ariel? Ariel: Word!! I sank the ship. Prospero: Did anyone figure out that it was us who created that meteor shower? Ariel: I played some tricks of desperation. And put them all in the spaceship. Prospero: Great job, Ariel! Where are they stranded? Ariel: Close by. Prospero: But they’re safe, right? Ariel: They are fine. I spilt them up around the galaxy. The King’s son is by himself. Prospero: The astronauts have said how some were killed along with the fleet. Ariel: The King’s ship is in port. I charmed them to sleep. And I dispersed the rest of the fleet. Prospero: You did a good job, Ariel. But you still need to one more favor for me. What time is it? Ariel: It’s midday. Prospero: Then there is no time to waste. Ariel: Is there more work? Do you remember what you promised me? Prospero: Really? What are you asking for? Ariel: Freedom. Prospero: When your time is up. Your job has not finished yet. Ariel: I worked without complaint. You promised me in one year you will let me go. Prospero: Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the kind of torment I saved you from? Ariel: No. Prospero: You owe me, Ariel, after what I have done for you! Ariel: No. Prospero: LIAR!! Do you remember Sycorax, the witch? The old hag! Have you forgotten her? Ariel: No. Prospero: Okay, so if you do remember her, then where was she born? Enlighten me. Come on. Ariel: Argier. Prospero: Oh really? I always have to remind you the torment she put you through. She was banished because of her sorcery and mischief nature. Is this true? Ariel: Word. Prospero: The old hag was brought here to this very spaceship with her kid. You offered allegiance to her and became her slave. For the 12 years I’ve been here, she died and left a creature. Ariel: Caliban. Prospero: Caliban is now my slave. When I came and found you were being tormented by that witch, I saved you from her. Ariel: Thanks. Prospero: If you complain any more, I will make you work for twelve more years. Ariel: I’ll do as you say. Prospero: Go right ahead. Then in two days I’ll set you free! Ariel: What should I do? Prospero: Disguise yourself as a space nymph. Go on, Ariel! [//Ariel exits//] Prospero: Miranda, Miranda. Wake up! You’ve slept well. Miranda: Your story put me to sleep. Prospero: Look alive! Come on, it’s time to see Caliban. Miranda: I do not want to see that beast. He is very ugly. Prospero: We would be nothing without him! He makes our fire, supplies wood, and serves us. Come on out, Caliban! Where are you? Caliban: [//within//] There’s enough wood inside. Prospero: I am ordering you to come out. I have a job for you. [//Enter Ariel as a space nymph//] Prospero: Very nice, Ariel. [//whisper in Ariel’s ear//] Prospero: [//to Caliban//] Caliban! Come out here, NOW! [//enter Caliban//] Caliban: I hope my mother’s spirit comes back to haunt you. Prospero: For being disrespectful, you shall be tortured. Caliban: When you first came to this ship, you were my friend. I showed you around the galaxy, and I LOVED YOU!! Prospero: You lying slave!! Are you not the one who tried to rape my daughter??!!! Caliban: I would have tried to but you stopped me!! Miranda: I taught you my language. Even though it took so much of my time, and all you do is disrespect me! Caliban: You taught me your language, and now I know how to curse. Prospero: Go and get us some fuel. Also be prepared to perform other duties. Caliban: [//talking to himself//] Since I have no other choice, I must obey you before you do something horrible to me. Prospero: Go on slave! GO!
