A Disturbing Revelation of Family Tragedy
Rexford Bedlo
Shhhhhh.
Rexford Bedlo
I was afraid you would scream.
Estelle Craven
Is anything wrong?
Rexford Bedlo
Don't be alarmed but I'm afraid Dr. Scarabus killed my father.
Estelle Craven
Killed him?
Rexford Bedlo
Yes, during the dueling I observed Dr. Scarabus making furtive gestures with his fingers. Now we must speak to your father.
Estelle Craven
But I already have. He trusts Dr. Scarabus.
Rexford Bedlo
We'll have to try.
Rexford Bedlo
It's locked!
Estelle Craven
What'll we do?
Estelle Craven
What are you doing?
Rexford Bedlo
This ledge leads to your father's room.
Estelle Craven
But you might be killed!
Rexford Bedlo
I hope not!

Unexpected Revelations and Unanswered Questions
Dr. Bedlo
A little unexpected what happened down there, huh?
Dr. Craven
Yes, it was most unexpected. I-I just don't understand why should my father return from the dead and then tell me to beware... of what?
Dr. Bedlo
I wish I knew, I-I-I-I wish I knew.
Dr. Bedlo
Uh, that milk!
Dr. Bedlo
In any case I have to return to the castle of Dr. Scarabus tonight.
Dr. Craven
Oh no, sir, please, I beg you, I implore you. Don't go back there.
Dr. Bedlo
But he has confiscated all my magical equipment and I want revenge.
Dr. Craven
But he is too powerful.
Dr. Bedlo
Then come with me.
Dr. Craven
No. No I want nothing to do with him. Nothing at all.

The Cost of Ambition and Betrayal
Dr. Bedlo
Erasamus, now that Dr. Scarabus is out of the way, we've got to make immediate plans for your assumption of the grand mastership. I'll gladly act as your liaison so-so you won't be bothered having to present your case personally to the brotherhood. Later on I'll be happy to assume the post of super numeri secretary dispenser.
[as the raven]
Dr. Craven
Dr. Bedlo.
Dr. Bedlo
Yes?
Dr. Craven
Do you really think such treachery can be so easily forgiven and forgotten?
Dr. Bedlo
Treachery! I saved all your lives!
Dr. Craven
After having put them in jeopardy in the first place.
Dr. Bedlo
That's beside the point. Very well, if that's the way you feel about it, kindly return me to my rightful form and I'll leave.
Dr. Craven
Well, I'll, uh, I'll take it under advisement.
Dr. Bedlo
Take it under advisement? Well really! Who do you think you are talking to anyway?
Dr. Craven
Up.
Dr. Bedlo
What's that?
Dr. Craven
Up!
Dr. Bedlo
Now wait a minute Erasamus!
Dr. Craven
Up!
Dr. Bedlo
Really?!
Dr. Bedlo
I never heard of such ingratitude in my entire life. It's getting so you can't trust anybody anymore. I'm just too sweet and gentle, that's my problem!
Dr. Craven
Dr. Bedlo.
Dr. Bedlo
What is it?
Dr. Craven
Shut your beak! Quoth the raven, nevermore.

Misunderstanding About Clothing in the Cold
Dr. Craven

No, I meant clothes!

Oh.

Midnight Reflections and Mysterious Tappings
Dr. Craven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door.Only this and nothing more.

The Cost of Magical Knowledge
Lenore Craven
You sly old thing you. And what was his price?
[she caresses Scarabus' jaw]
Dr. Bedlo
Who, mine? A double value. Superior magical knowledge and through my death by lightning, freedom from overbearing women.
Lenore Craven
Well worth the cost of being turned into an insignificant bird.
Dr. Scarabus
To say nothing of luring Dr. Craven to me, don't forget that, my love.
Lenore Craven
I can't imagine why you want him here.
Dr. Scarabus
It's not Craven I want, it's his magic.

A Conversation About Imprisonment and Disgrace
Estelle Craven
Can't you get your hands free father?
[Estelle, Dr. Craven, Dr. Bedlo and Rexford are all bound to columns in the dungeon]
Dr. Craven
I'm afraid not, my dear. What with Dr. Scarabus having turned me into a statue and then binding me like this.
Dr. Bedlo
I know, I-I know, I'm a disgrace.
Rexford Bedlo
I had a somewhat stronger word in mind.
Dr. Bedlo
But son, you know that-that everything I tried in life I was a failure. Only-only the day I joined the Brotherhood of Magicians. Oh I-I was the happiest man on earth. I still remember how happy I was. And then when-when Dr. Scarabus offered to teach me superior magical knowledge for luring Dr. Craven here, I just couldn't resist that magnificent award. But Erasamus, believe me with all my heart I regret what I have done to you.
Dr. Craven
You are not alone in guilt, sir. I, too, have failed at the task of living.
Dr. Bedlo
Oh, no.
Dr. Craven
Oh yes, yes. Instead of facing life I turned my back on it. I know now why my father resisted Dr. Scarabus. Because he knew that one cannot fight evil by hiding from it. Men like Scarabus thrive on the apathy of others. He thrived on mine and that offends me. By avoiding contact with the brotherhood I've given him freedom to commit his atrocities, unopposed.
Dr. Bedlo
You sure have!
Dr. Craven
I'm sorry.

A Dark Question and a Frivolous Response
Dr. Craven
Are you some dark-winged messenger from beyond? Answer me, monster, tell me truly! Shall I ever hold again the radiant maiden whom the angels call Lenore?
[to the raven]
Dr. Bedlo
How the hell should I know? What am I, a fortune teller?, Ooh, I'm chilled to the bones, why don't you get me some wine... well just don't stand there gaping at me!
[as the raven]
Dr. Craven
That voice... I
Dr. Bedlo
Will you give me some wine?
[Interrupting him]
Dr. Craven
Yes, yes. Here's some nice hot milk.
[offering him a chalice]
Dr. Bedlo
Milk? How vomitable!
Dr. Craven
Surely this is a dream.
Dr. Bedlo
Hurry up, will you! flies onto the table]
Dr. Craven
There you are
Dr. Bedlo
What do you expect me to do hold it? With what? Oh, never mind!
Dr. Bedlo
Mmm. I like that. Mmmm!

A Discussion on Identity and Transformation
Dr. Craven
Why pardon my soul!
[watching Dr. Bedloe as a raven drinking from the chalice]
Dr. Bedlo
Never mind your soul. Start concentrating on getting me back to my rightful form!
Dr. Craven
Your rightful form?
Dr. Bedlo
Well, what do you think, I was born this way?
Dr. Craven
Well, I-I have it you are under an enchantment!
Dr. Bedlo
Took you long enough to find that out! Let's get to work. Well, go ahead, do something!
[flies onto a chair]
Dr. Craven
But what?
Dr. Bedlo
Restore me to my rightful form.
Dr. Craven
But I just don't know how.
Dr. Bedlo
Oh no. Well, have you got some dried blood of a bat in the house?
Dr. Craven
I beg your pardon.
Dr. Bedlo
Bat's blood! Dried or evaporated bat's blood.
Dr. Craven
No.
Dr. Bedlo
How about some chain links from a gallow's burg? Jellied spiders, rabbit's blood, dead man's hair?
Dr. Craven
No, we don't keep those things in this house. We're vegetarians
Dr. Bedlo
And he calls himself a magician. Honestly this is too much!
