:04:01
- It what?
- It sucked. I saw it live.
:04:03
- It sucked?
- Yeah.
:04:04
PACINO: Anything in Shakespeare that
made you think it's not close to you...
:04:10
...or connected to you in any way?
- Yeah, it's boring.
:04:14
A bank in England uses
Shakespeare as...
:04:19
Cover my account number.
See, it's a hologram.
:04:21
They use it as ID to prove
it's a real card.
:04:24
PACINO:
What do you think of Shakespeare?
:04:26
He's a great export.
:04:28
Who's moving in on Shakespeare?
The Japanese.
:04:30
Because they're kicking
the Americans' ass.
:04:33
And they're all interested
in Shakespeare.
:04:36
You know Shakespeare?
William Shakespeare?
:04:39
We're peddling him on the streets.
:04:43
I remember our English teacher
sent us to see...
:04:45
...a local college production
of King Lear.
:04:49
I went with my girlfriend...
:04:52
...and after about 10 minutes
of these people:
:04:54
[BABBLING]
:04:55
They were doing this kind
of Shakespearean acting.
:05:00
I just tuned right out. We made out
in the back row and left at intermission.
:05:04
I was brought up in a school...
:05:07
...where Shakespeare was taught
very kind of...
:05:11
...straightforwardly and dully,
to be honest.
:05:14
We read it aloud and it made no sense,
because there was no connection made.
:05:19
My own experience...
:05:21
...was in the fields in Michigan,
where I was raised on a farm...
:05:26
...and an uncle, who was a Northern
guy, black Northern guy...
:05:30
...came out of the field one day
and started narrating...
:05:32
...Antony's speech, the funeral oration.
:05:36
- From Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?
- Yeah. We'd heard stuff from the Bible...
:05:40
...but my first time as a kid,
I was hearing...
:05:44
...great words having great meaning.
:05:48
KIMBALL:
What brings us to Montreal?
:05:51
To Paris? To London?
:05:53
What takes us into dungeons,
to parapets...
:05:56
- To Japan next.
- To Japan, maybe, is a quest.
