:24:00
Go...
:24:03
...tread the path
thou shalt ne'er return.

:24:07
Simple, plain Clarence!
:24:12
I do love thee so...
:24:14
...that I shall shortly send
thy soul to heaven.

:24:20
GUARD 1: Prisoner approaching.
GUARD 2: Prisoner Hastings exeunt.

:24:24
Who is this?
The new-deliver'd Hastings?

:24:28
- Good time of day unto my gracious lord!
- As much unto my good lord Hastings.

:24:33
Well are you welcome to this open air.
:24:36
How hath your lordship
brook'd imprisonment?

:24:38
With patience, noble lord,
as prisoners must.

:24:41
You can do something
from Shakespeare...

:24:44
...think that you're feeling it or whatever.
HARRIS: Mm-hm.

:24:46
You love it.
You think you're communicating it.

:24:49
And the person you said it to
has not understood a word you said.

:24:53
You can't believe they didn't.
:24:55
"Thoust" and, you know...
:24:58
...just the way it's worded,
that confuses the people of, you know...

:25:05
...this time period.
:25:06
HADGE: Shakespeare used a lot
of fancy words. You know?

:25:09
And it's hard to understand,
to grasp them.

:25:12
They're not fancy words.
That's where we get confused.

:25:16
But they're poetry. It's hard
to grab hold of some rap slang too.

:25:20
It's hard to get hold of it until your ear
gets tuned. You have to tune up.

:25:25
In a contemporary play, someone says:
:25:27
"Hey, you. Go over there,
get that thing and bring it to me."

:25:31
That would be the line.
Shakespeare says it:

:25:34
"Be Mercury, set feathers to thy heels...
:25:37
...and fly like thought
from them to me again."

:25:42
The King is weak and sickly...
:25:45
...and his physicians fear him mightily.
- By Saint John, that news is bad indeed.

:25:49
O, he hath kept an evil diet long.
:25:52
You shouldn't have to understand
every single word.

:25:55
Why? Do you understand every...?
I mean, it's not important.

:25:59
It doesn 't matter.
As long as you get the gist of it.
