MAGIC FLUTE: Monostatos captures Pamina and meets Papageno

From the Bel Canto Opera production of the Magic Flute, Monosatos captures Pamina and is about to rape her when Papageno discovers them. Monostatos and Papageno are terrified of each other.

MONOSTATOS: There is no way you can escape.
PAMINA: Unhand me now, or I'll cry rape!
MONOSTATOS: I swear you'll not defeat me.
PAMINA: I dare you to mistreat me.
Beware the Queen will know what you do.
She will use her power to punish you.
MONOSTATOS: You'll do just what I tell you to.
You're mine, and don't forget it.
PAMINA: If you touch me, you'll regret it.
I'd rather die than lie with you.
MONOSTATOS: (dismissing henchmen) She's mine...she'll do
just what I want her to.

PAPAGENO: Where am I now?
Which way to go?
Aha...they look like locals.
I'll ask...perhaps they'll know.
Beg pardon, can you help?
I'm looking for Sarastro.
MONOSTATOS & PAPAGENO: Ooh! A fiend! A beast!
The devil's tool.
An Incubus...at least a ghoul.
PAPAGENO: Demonic!
MONOSTATOS: Satanic!
PAPAGENO: Irreverent!
MONOSTATOS: Malevolent!
BOTH: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! (they both flee)
