Hermes reveals both good and bad news to Orpheus, Eurydice, and the workers. Hades has granted them passage out of Hadestown but with a catch: Orpheus must lead Eurydice out and walk in front while she walks in back. He must also not turn around to check if she is still walking behind him. If he doe...
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
What is it?
[HERMES, spoken]
Well, the good news is, he said that you can go.
[ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken]
He did?
[WORKERS, spoken]
He did?
[HERMES, spoken]
He did. There's bad news though.
[EURYDICE, spoken]
What is it?
[HERMES, spoken]
You can walk, but it won't be like you planned.
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
What do you mean?
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Why not?
[HERMES, spoken]
Well, you won't be hand in hand.
You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that.
He said you have to walk in front, and she has to walk in back.
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Why?
[HERMES, spoken]
And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too:
Then she goes back to Hadestown and ain't nothing you can do.
[EURYDICE, spoken]
But why?
[HERMES, spoken]
Why build walls, make folks walk single file?
Divide and conquer's what it's called.
[ORPHEUS]
It's a trap
[HERMES, spoken]
It's a trial.
Do you trust each other?
Do you trust yourselves?
[ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken]
We do.
[HERMES, spoken]
Well, listen, brother.
If you want to walk out of hell,
You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men.
Can you do that?
[ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken]
We can.
[HERMES, spoken]
A'ight, time to go!
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Mr. Hermes?
[HERMES, spoken]
Yes?
[ORPHEUS]
It's not a trick?
[HERMES, spoken]
No, it's a test.
