So, er, how's the play going?
Well, as you can see, very poorly.
You know, when I quit this thing, I didn't think that everyone would be so affected 1.
Neither did I.
OK. Mr. Feeny, still not big on the pantyhose idea but if that's what it takes, you got your Hamlet back.
Mr. Matthews, hum. I already have my Hamlet. He may bump into the scenery, he may talk like a hayseed. For all I know, tomorrow he may show up in kabuki makeup 2. Nevertheless, he is my Hamlet. I do, however, have an opening for a spear-carrier.
Spear-carrier?
There is an old theater expression: there are no small parts, only small actors.
You know, Mr. Feeny, maybe I would have built on this play if you pick some play a little cooler. I mean, couldn't we do selected scenes from the Terminator? Or how about a Steven Seagal soliloquy?
You know, Mr. Matthews, you are absolutely right. Shakespeare is dry, tedious and there is no way for a person your age to be affected by it.
I am thy father's spirit. Doomed 3 for a certain term to walk the night, and for the day confined to fast in fires till the foul 4 crimes done in my days of nature are burnt and purged 5 away. But that I am forbid to tell the secrets of my prison-house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood. But this eternal blazon 6 must not be to ears of flesh and blood. List, list, oh list if thou didst ever thy dear father love.
Oh, God!
Revenge his foul and most unnatural 7 murder.
Murder?
Of course, I know Steven Seagal.
