:21:03
Make a pentameter line, five iambs.
:21:08
An iamb is like an anteater.
:21:13
Very high in the back
and very short, little front legs. Da-da!

:21:19
Shakespeare's poetry and his iambics...
:21:25
...floated and descended
through the pentameter of the soul.

:21:29
And it's the soul, the spirit of real,
concrete people going through hell...

:21:34
...and sometimes moments of great...
:21:39
...achievement and joy.
:21:42
That is the pentameter
you must focus on...

:21:45
...and should you find that reality...
:21:49
... all the iambics will fall into place.
:21:53
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul.
Here Clarence comes.

:21:59
Brother, good day.
:22:01
What means this armed guard
that waits upon your grace?

:22:04
His majesty tendering my safety,
hath appointed this conduct...

:22:08
...to convey me to the Tower.
:22:10
- Upon what cause?
- Because my name is George.

:22:13
Clarence...
:22:16
...what is the matter? May I know?
:22:18
Yea, Richard, as I know. But I protest
as yet I do not. But, as I can learn...

:22:23
...he hearkens
after prophecies and dreams.

:22:26
And from the cross-row
plucks the letter G.

:22:29
And says a wizard told him that by G...
:22:32
...his children disinherited should be.
:22:34
And, for my name of George begins with
G, it follows in his thought that I am he.

:22:39
These, as I learn,
and such like toys as these...

:22:43
...have moved his highness
to commit me now.

:22:46
Why, so it is,
when men are ruled by women.

:22:49
'Tis not the king that sends you
to the Tower, Clarence.

:22:52
'Tis my Lady Grey his wife, 'tis she
that tempts him to this extremity.

:22:57
We are not safe, Clarence.
We are not safe.
