Look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye,Your hand, your tongue. Look like th' innocent flower,

But be the serpent under ’t. He that’s comingMust be provided for; and you shall put

This night’s great business into my dispatch,

Which shall to all our nights and days to comeGive solely sovereign sway and masterdom.LADY MACBETH

That day will never come. Your face betrays strange feelings, my lord, and people will beable to read it like a book. In order to deceive them, you must appear the way they expect

you to look. Greet the king with a welcoming expression in your eyes, your hands, andyour words. You should look like an innocent flower, but be like the snake that hides

underneath the flower. The king is coming, and he’s got to be taken care of. Let mehandle tonight’s preparations, because tonight will change every night and day for the

rest of our lives.

MACBETHWe will speak further.

Leave all the rest to me.LADY MACBETH

You should project a peaceful mood, because if you look troubled, you will arousesuspicion. Leave all the rest to me.

ExeuntThey exit.
