...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.
:26:03
Just trust it. You'll get it.
:26:04
ALLEN:
And if he were dead...
:26:08
...what would betide on me?
:26:10
No other harm but loss of such a lord.
:26:13
The loss of such a lord
includes all harm.
:26:17
They're trying to soothe her
because she is an hysteric.
:26:21
- She is way out of control.
ALLEN: But does that weaken...
:26:25
...the reality of what's happening?
:26:28
KIMBALL: It strengthens
the incompetence of others...
:26:31
But why should they be incompetent?
:26:33
- Why make them weaker?
KIMBALL: Because they went to Ludlow...
:26:36
...with little train
and got their heads cut off.
:26:39
But then it's no great deed on his part
if you make them weak.
:26:44
PACINO: They're not weak.
ALLEN: They're not weak...
:26:47
...nor do I think that they're stupid.
I think...
:26:49
By diminishing their importance,
you diminish his actions.
:26:54
- It's bound to happen.
- It's a very human, familial thing to say:
:26:58
"Calm down. It will be all right."
But underneath it...
