Canterville Ghost : Ladies and gentlemen! You are welcome to the Canterville Castle! I am Sir Simon  Canterville.

This is my house (подбегает к экрану, указывая на замок). The castle is cast,cast,cast…

(привидение исчезает. Заходит семья Отис с багажом)

Washington( an elder son): Oh, look! Here we are at the Canterville Castle!

CG: Excellent! Some new victims, I mean visitors ha-ha-ha…

Lord Canterville: Good evening, Mr. Otis. I am glad to see you! You are welcome! Come in.

Mr. Otis: Good evening, Lord Canterville! Let me introduce my family to you.

My wife, Mrs. Otis, my elder son Washington, my daughter Virginia, my twins Aly and Jimmy. They enjoy monkey tricks, naughty girls.

LC: How do you do.

All: How do you do.

LC:  So, Sir I must warn you. The castle is haunted. A ghost has been living here for 300 years. What do you say to it?

Mr. Otis: Rubbish! We, Americans, don t believe in such silly things.

LC: OK, it’s up to you to decide- to stay here or not.

(на экране надпись LEAVE THIS PLACE –УБИРАЙТЕСЬ ОТСЮДА)

Virginia: Look! It s blood! He wants us to leave!

Mr. Otis: There, there, my dear, there is nothing to worry about. I’ll rub it off. No more talks of ghosts!

Virginia: Can there be a ghost?

Washington: Oh, Virginia, it’s all people’s imagination! But if you think about it, it will definitely appear. WOOOO

Mr.Otis: Calm down, my dear children! No more talk of ghosts! No more ghosts! It’s time to go to bed. Good night!

All: Good night.

(все уходят, кроме супругов Отис)

Mrs Otis: I say, darling, to tell the truth I’m a little worried to be I this house.

Mr. Otis: Look, I’ll tell you what. We are the Otis family from America. We are clever people. All the yales about ghosts are nonsense!

Mrs. Otis: That may be true. But our twins are so little, so delicate, so touchy.

Mr. Otis: There, there. Don’t worry. I promise you, we’ll have a happy life in this place.

(Уходят, прибегают близнецы)

Aly: I say, Jimmy. Let’s put on our Halloween masks and scare the ghost!

Jimmy: That’s a great idea!

(подходит к краю сцены, смотрит на зрителей)

Aly and Jimmy : Sir Simon, where are you?

(привидение подкрадывается, пытаясь напугать, но близнецы атакуют его, привидение падает, закрывая голову руками, кричит. Подбегает Вирджиния)

Virginia: Excuse me, Mr. Ghost!

CG: What!!!? No! (убегает)

Virginia: Don’t be afraid! Wait!

Aly and Jimmy: This way! Come on! Catch him!

(Вашингтон хватает девчонок)

Washington: Why so much noise?

Mrs. Otis: What’ s happening?

Aly: We saw him!!!

Jimmy: He was there!!!

Mr.Otis: Where?

Aly and Jimmy: Over there!( показывает в разные стороны)

Mr. Otis: No ghosts! No talks of ghosts!

Aly: Yes, Dad!

Mr. Otis: Up!

Jimmy: He was there!

Mr. Otis: Up! Virginia, what do you know about this?

Virg: I saw 2 ghosts. One ghost was Aly and  the other one was Jimmy.

Mr. Otis: Bed! Now!

(девчонки уходят, понурив головы).

 CG: My dear Eleonore , I want to be with you. But I can’t. I have to haunt the Castle forever. I say, my dear, I’ve been the best ghost all over England for 300 years, haven’t I?

Eleonore: That’ s true…

CG: But these people have no fear! What shall I do?

Eleonore: Try and act again… And remember, you are the most horrible ghost…

See you…

(Элеонора исчезает)

CG: Thank you, I’ll do my best.

( клацая цепями, стонет, ходит по сцене)

Mr. Otis: What’ s now?

( КП стонет, рычит)

Mr. Otis: Excuse me, Sir?

(КП рычит)

Mr.Otis: Excuse  me, shall I call a doctor?

(КП стонет)

Mr. Otis: Look here, my man. You are wasting my time and your time. Don’t  

bother us again. Bye!

CG: Oh, what a shame! I’m a ghost loser.

( КП плачет, девчонки нападают на него с пистолетами)

Virginia: Leave him, girls!

CG: Oh, my! Oh, me…I’m scared of little boys! I’m a victim of tricks myself!

Virginia: Mr. Ghost, I’m sorry for you. Nobody will offend you if you behave well.

CG: Really? I’m a ghost! It’s my duty to haunt the house, to moan, to scream and clank my chains. If only anybody could help me to be free…

Virginia: I’ll help you.

CG: Oh, no! It’s very dangerous!

Virginia: Oh, look over there!

( Virginia reads the lines on the screen)

When a gentle girl can win

A prayer from out the lips of sin,

When a child bursts into tears,

When the Barren Almond bears,

Then shall all the house be still.

And peace shall come to Canterville.

CG: Oh, this poem is for me. You are a gentle girl and I am so bad…

Virginia: Look, I’ll tell you what, Sir Simon, you must pray. Besides, you must forgive yourself.

CG: OK, I’ll try my best.

(КП и Вирджиния плачут)

Oh, a gentle girl is crying for me… And peace shall come to Canterville and peace shall come to me! I’m free! Thank you for your kindness, Miss Virginia… Thank you…

(КП улетает)

Virginia: Farewell, Sir Simon, I’ll never forget you.

Mrs. Otis: Oh, my girl. Where have you been?

Virginia: I’ve talked to Simon. He was really sorry for his  bad deeds. Now he rests in peace. Let’s all forgive him, shall we?

Mr. Otis: With great pleasure! May there always be love and happiness!
