1:02:02
Above Lord Wessex?
1:02:04
- [ Guests Laughing ]
- My lord, when you
cannot find your wife,

1:02:06
you better look for her
at the playhouse.

1:02:09
[ Chuckles ]
1:02:11
Playwrights teach us
nothing about love.

1:02:14
They make it pretty; they make
it comical; or they make it lust.

1:02:17
They cannot make it true.
1:02:20
- Oh, but they can.
- [ Guests Gasping ]

1:02:25
I mean, Your Majesty, they--
they do not, they have... not,

1:02:30
but I believe
there is one who can.

1:02:34
[ Wessex ]
My Lady Viola is young in the world.

1:02:36
Your Majesty is wise in it.
1:02:38
Nature and truth are the very enemies
of playacting. I'll wager my fortune.

1:02:42
I thought you were here
because you had none.

1:02:45
[ Guests Laughing ]
1:02:50
- Well, no one will take
your wager, it seems.
- Fifty pounds.

1:02:55
[ Guests Murmuring ]
1:02:57
Fifty pounds?
1:03:01
A very worthy sum
on a very worthy question.

1:03:06
Can a play show us
the very truth and nature of love?

1:03:11
I bear witness
to the wager...

1:03:14
and will be the judge of it
as occasion arises.

1:03:21
I have seen nothing
to settle it yet.

1:03:24
Are there
no more fireworks?

1:03:26
They would be soothing after the
excitements of Lady Viola's audience.

1:03:30
- [ Guests Laughing ]
- Have her, then,
but you are a lordly fool.

1:03:35
She's been plucked since I saw her last,
and not by you.

1:03:39
It takes a woman
to know it.

1:03:45
Marlowe.
1:03:51
[ Cow Lowing ]
1:03:58
Burbage?
