Trying to get the people rallied for the Union. Start of everyone is sitting in a line looking up to were the speaker will be. The chamber is totally dark, crowd noise in the background, this forces the speaker to have to be very loud. During the speech, the spy will come up behind a listener and put a cloth over their head, to signify that they have been removed. At the end of the speech the lights come up and only one person is left uncovered.
Speaker-Would they go down into the pit themselves, do ye think? Say after me, They would Not!
People-They would not!
Speaker- Would they dress in silks and laces, do ye think?
People-They would not!
Speaker-Would they have such fine soft hands, do ye think?
People-They would not!
Speaker-Would they hold themselves too good to look at ye?
People-They would not!
Speaker-If only ye'd stand together, they'd come to ye on their knees to ask for terms! But ye're cowards, and they play on your fears!
Speaker-Will ye'll stand by the Union? Yes or no?
People-Yes!
Speaker-Ye'll swear?
People-Yes/we'll swear!
Speaker-Do you swear? I can't hear you!
People-We swear!
Speaker-Ye'll not let them break ye! Ye'll not let them frighten ye!
People-No! No!
Speaker-What?
People-No!
Speaker-Stand by your word, men! Stand by it! 'Tis the one chance for your wives and childer!
Light come up, sound stops.
Speech from King Coal.
