I'll get everyone quiet.
:29:06
Ladies and gentlemen,
:29:08
we are privileged to witness
a great historic moment.

:29:11
His Majesty King Shahdov
:29:13
has graciously consented to give
us Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be.

:29:27
There are many ways of playing
the soliloquy of Hamlet.

:29:30
There's the pale, thoughtful,
anemic Prince.

:29:33
There's the mad, bombastic one.
Which do you prefer?

:29:37
Anything but anemic.
:29:38
Very well.
:29:40
''To be, or not to be:
:29:42
''that is the question.
:29:43
''Whether 'tis nobler to suffer
:29:45
''the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune,

:29:47
''or to take arms
against a sea of troubles,

:29:50
''and by opposing end them?
:29:51
''To die: to sleep, no more,
:29:55
''and by a sleep to say we end
:29:57
''the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to,

:30:01
'''tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished.

:30:03
''To die, to sleep...
:30:07
''To sleep,
:30:09
''perchance to dream:
:30:13
''There's the rub.
:30:15
''For who would bear the whips
and scorns of time?

:30:18
''The oppressor's wrong,
the proud man's contumely,

:30:21
''the pangs of despised love,
:30:23
''the law's delay.
:30:25
''The insolence of office,
and the spurns that patient merit

:30:29
''of the unworthy takes,
:30:31
''when he himself might
his quietus take

:30:34
''with a bare bodkin?
:30:37
''Who would fardels bear, to sweat
:30:40
''and grunt under a weary life?
:30:43
''But that the dread
:30:46
''of something after death
:30:50
''that undiscovered country
:30:52
''from whose bourn no traveler returns
:30:57
''puzzles the will
:30:59
''and makes us rather bear
those ills we have
