Do: Our son sleeps a lot!
Da: It’s true and he doesn’t want to work
Do: We need to do something about it...
Da: For example?
Do: we can send him to the army!
Da: Who? Our son? Are you sure?
Do: Why not?
Da: He’s a slacker! In the army they want strong and resistant people...not lazy, spineless, useless...
Do: Okay! Okay! That’s fine! We mustn’t argue now, you need to clean house for this evening's dinner. Have you bought a new amphora yet?
Da: Not yet. Have you arranged the garden composition?
Do: Not yet....let’s get started!

Da: Maid! Angelica!
A: Yes mistress?
Da: We need a new amphora for dinner, go buy it!
A: Oh yes mistress. What else?
Da: That's all for now.

Angelica attraversa il giardino che gli schiavi stanno riordinando : entrambi stanno sistemando accuratamente un’aiuola e quando l’ancella passa accanto a loro lasciano cadere gli strumenti a terra per girarsi a guardarla.
Do: You mustn’t stop working!
S1: Sorry master!
S2: ...yes...sorry (poco convinto)
Do: This mustn’t happen again, okay?!
Ss: Yes! (coro)
Do: I will say this again, you must not look at my wife’s mistress! You must keep working even if a beautiful woman comes near, okay?!
S1: Yes!
S2: Yes (?)
*Do sospira esasperato*
Do: What isn't clear to you, slaves?! You mustn’t watch Angelica!
S1: Oh! Is this her name?
S2: Oooooh... (aria assente+guarda verso l’alto)
Do prende la prima cosa che trova (scopa) e colpisce la testa degli schiavi, entrambi si rimettono a lavorare.
