We gotta have it!! History! We want it! History! Give it to us! History! (All Sing) That's what we want! |

But you can't have it! You see, there's a curse on the castle! |
無理だ、城には呪いが憑いているのだ。 |
|
MOM |
How cute! |
面白い！ |
|
DUKE |
But it is not at all ....'Cute'! You will never buy Canterville Castle!No one will! For whoever buys Canterville Castle - also buys..... ' the Canterville Ghost'! |
とんでもない。この城など誰も買わない。 万一買う者がいれば、カンタヴィル幽霊も一緒に買うことになるのだ。 |

Now! What do you think of THAT! |
あれを見たか！ |

(Popping out) Was that you, Sir Simon? (Horrible moan over megaphone). I'm sorry about the castle! But I've got to sell it! What is so wrong with Americans, anyway? They are just the same as English people except they speak a foreign language. (Jumps) Take you icy hand off my shoulder, sir simon. (The beam of a powerful torch hits him him. Duke wrestles with the light in a frantic fight to weird percussive sound from behind the castle wall. ) AHH! Ahh! OOH! URGH! ERR! Well, What choice do I have? What with Death duties and inheritance tax, this isn't the sixteenth century!! No tomorrow i will sell off canterville, mercy, sir simon.! mercyyyyyyyyyyyy! ( He runs away ) |

Voice on Megaphone. |
You are guilty, Duke of Canterville! Guilty! Guilty! I killed only my wife, but you - you murder England, centuries of history, destiny is murdered! Murdered! Curse you! Canterville! Curse you! |

VIRGINIA |
And if you gotta go about murdering people in future, then you use a pillow or a rope or somethin'! Alright? It's much quieter. Good night. Oh Dukey, times up. I'm coming looking for you (Exits). |
将来、人を殺したりするのなら、枕か綱を使うことね。分かった？その方がずっと静かよ。おやすみなさい。ああ公爵さん、もう時間よ。探しに行くわ。 |

(GHOST howls with frustration and wolf like rage. Mom storms out investigating all the noise). |
|
|
MOM |
Ah, you must be the Canterville Ghost! Pleased to meet you. But if you gonna haunt my castle can you do it more quietly? |
ああ、貴方がカンタヴィルの幽霊ね！お目にかかれて嬉しいです。でも私の城で出るのなら、もっと静かに願いできます？ |
|
GHOST |
Don't you know what ghost does for a living? Madame, a ghost must haunt. It is my doom and duty to wander these turrets and walls howling to the night and acting out the murder to which I am forever chained to by my guilt. It is my destiny and my definition, defy me if you dare! |
幽霊がこの世では何をしているかご存知かな？奥さん、幽霊は出て脅かすの生業だ。これがわしの宿命だ。塔や壁に出没し、夜陰に吼え、あの殺人を繰り返し演じなければならんのじゃ、わしはあの殺人故に永劫にわたり鎖に繋がれているのだ。それが自分の運命であり、この世にいる意味なのだ。文句あるなら、受けて立とう。 |
|
MOM |
Shucks! Alright you can haunt and creep about but do it quiet. I think you're kind of cute (she slaps him on the ass) when you're quiet. Now shh, shh. shh (She watches him leave he tries out quiter haunting noises three times. Each time she shhs him to be quieter still, until his howls are nothing more than a pathetic whimper. He exits. She exits into the castle. ). |
馬鹿みたいね！出てきて脅かしたりしても結構よ、でもちょっと静かにやってくれない。あんた、静かにしてると、なかなか可愛い感じいい。さあ、静かに。 |

Tell me what happened when you were locked up alone with the ghost? |
幽霊と二人きりになったとき何が あったの？言ってごらん。 |
|
VIRGINIA |
Don't ask me, dearest, please! I cannot tell you! I owe the ghost so much! He made me see why Love is stronger than Death. |
愛しい方、それだけは聞かないで。幽霊には大変恩があるの。「愛は「死」より強いということを教えてくださったの。 |
|
DUKE |
Why is love stronger than death? How did the ghost make you see? |
愛は死より強いって？幽霊はどうやってこれを教えてくれたの？ |

いつか僕たちの子供たちには、何があったか話すつもりでしょう？僕には未だ分からない、愛が死より強いということ。また幽霊がどうやってこれを教えてくれたのか？ ダダダダーン！ |
