:40:02
Mr Perry?
:40:05
Uh, to communicate.
:40:08
No! To woo women.
:40:12
Today we're going to be talking
about William Shakespeare.
:40:14
Oh, God!
:40:16
I know. A lot of you look forward
to this about as much
as you look forward to root canal work.
:40:21
We're gonna talk about Shakespeare
as someone who writes something
very interesting.
:40:24
Now, many of you have seen
Shakespeare done very much like this.
:40:28
"O Titus, bring your friend hither."
:40:32
But if any of you have seen
Mr Marlon Brando...
:40:34
you know that Shakespeare
can be different.
:40:36
"Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ears."
:40:43
You can also imagine, maybe,
John Wayne as Macbeth going...
:40:45
"Well, is this a dagger
I see before me?"
:40:51
"Dogs, sir?
Oh, not just now.
:40:56
I do enjoy a good dog
once in a while, sir.
:41:00
You can have yourself
a three-course meal from one dog.
:41:03
Start with your canine crudites...
:41:06
go to your Fido flambe
for main course...
:41:08
and for dessert,
a Pekingese parfait.
:41:11
And you can pick your teeth
with a little paw."
:41:17
Why do I stand up here?
Anybody?
:41:19
- To feel taller.
- No! Thank you for playing, Mr Dalton.
:41:23
I stand upon my desk
to remind myself...
:41:26
that we must constantly look at things
in a different way.
:41:35
You see, the world looks
very different from up here.
:41:38
You don't believe me?
Come see for yourselves. Come on.
:41:42
Come on!
:41:44
Just when you think you know something,
you have to look at it in another way.
:41:47
Even though it may seem silly
or wrong, you must try!
:41:52
Now, when you read, don't just consider
what the author thinks...
:41:54
consider what you think.
:41:58
Boys, you must strive to find
your own voice.
