PACINO:
My brother Edward is the king now.

:13:04
And my brother Clarence...
:13:06
...is not the king,
and me, I'm not the king.

:13:09
I wanna be the king. It's that simple.
:13:12
Key word, clearly, is...
:13:15
Right from the start, is "discontent."
:13:17
So Richard, in the very opening scene
of the play, tells us...

:13:23
... just how badly he feels
about the peacetime world...

:13:26
... he finds himself in
and what he intends to do about it.

:13:30
Now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious summer...

:13:37
...by this sun of York.
:13:42
And all the clouds
that lour'd on our house...

:13:46
...in the deep bosom
of the ocean buried.

:13:50
Part of the trouble is
that the Wars of the Roses...

:13:53
...the wars for the crown,
are now over...

:13:56
...because the crown has been won
by the Yorks...

:14:00
...which means
that they can stop fighting.

:14:04
Now are our brows...
:14:07
...bound with victorious wreaths.
:14:10
Our bruised arms
hung up for monuments.

:14:13
Our stern alarum changed
to merry meetings.

:14:17
What do they do
when the fighting stops?

:14:21
Grim-visaged war...
:14:23
...hath smooth'd his wrinkled front.
:14:26
And now, instead of mounting
barbed steeds...

:14:29
...to fright the souls
of fearful adversaries, he capers...

:14:33
...nimbly in a lady's chamber...
:14:36
...to the lascivious pleasings of a lute.
:14:40
FEMALE SCHOLAR:
And you see lovemaking...

:14:41
...and relations with the other gender...
:14:44
...as what you translate
your male aggressions into.

:14:49
But Richard III has a little problem here.
:14:52
But I...
:14:57
...that am not shaped
for sportive tricks...
