Scene VI
(Ismene enters)
Creon: What do you want Ismene?
Ismene: I want my sister back, but that's not why I'm here.
Creon: Then why are you here? I'm busy.
Ismene: I want to start a new government. One ruled by the people.
Creon: What? Why? How?
Ismene: Simple. The people elect someone to be the ruler. The person in second place becomes vice ruler. Those people will stay in that position for 1 year then we elect again. Why? Because having one person in complete power isn't working.
Creon: How do suggest we propose this idea to the people?
Ismene: Already done.
Creon: What?! You already proposed the idea without my permission! I'm the king!
Ismene: There's another reason why. Yes I did. And they all agreed, loving the idea. Also, I'm running for the position.
Creon: But you're just a girl! You can't run a kingdom!
Ismene: I'm pretty sure I'll do a better job than you. Besides, who can run a kingdom? You didn't do very well. My father didn't do very well. All of the past kings have died at young ages. So, who can actually run a kingdom alone?
(There was a silence)
Ismene: Exactly. No one can. Deal with it. I bet you'll be very good as a judge though. As long as you don't go crazy with punishments.
(Ismene leaves)
