A Haunting in Cawdor Page #3

What are you doing here?

I told you, I come

by here sometimes,

I saw your name

on the board and,

you know, saw

where they put you.

I'm sorry, are you okay?

Yes.

Anyway, hi.

Hi.

Kind of stinks in here.

It wasn't me.

Yeah, well I've cleaned worse.

Roddy, maybe you

shouldn't hang around,

Charles might not like visitors.

They like me

here, it's all good.

When did you work here?

(wood chipper running)

You know what, I don't

wanna get you in trouble.

Oh.

Charles might be off his meds.

(laughs)

I'll be around this Fall.

Now I got a reason to visit.

Bye.

Help!

Help me please, help me!

Somebody!

Hurry, it's Brian!

[Charles] What

the hell happened?!

Goddamn chipper!

Almost chewed me up

is what happened!

I told you, you

gotta pay attention.

You're lucky I saw you

and hit that kill switch.

Could have had Brian

chips all over.

(laughing)

It's not funny!

I nearly died!

Goddamn chipper

tried to kill me.

Okay guys, hang back.

Ladies first.

Our meals are a

little different here

than what you get in Juvie.

This is food you

can actually eat.

Go ahead.

Tonight, we got beef stroganoff,

fresh lake trout, some kind of

vegetable, strawberry shortcake.

I got my eye on you.

(classical music)

Well what kind of

group we got this year?

Eh, nothing I can't handle.

Eyes front!

[Lawrence] Let's see what

these kids are made of.

All right, who here...

Has heard of

William Shakespeare?

Anyone?

No?

Well William Shakespeare

is considered

to be the greatest

playwright known to mankind.

In fact, every 12

minutes one of his

plays is being performed

somewhere in the world.

Now why is that, hmm?

Why?

400 years ago, he

was writing about

things that still matter,

that still resonate today.

War, sex, violence, betrayal,

ambition, lust, murder.

Things that I'm sure some

of you can relate to.

Frank.

Now this play...

This play is about a man's...

Ultimate quest for power.

And his wife's driving

ambition to achieve

their dreams at any cost.

It's perhaps the most

violent of his plays

and includes all

the things I just

mentioned including witchcraft.

OooOooOoo.

Which accounts for

the superstition

associated with the play.

Now I don't want you to be

intimidated by the text.

Don't overanalyze it, okay?

All the answers you need

are right there on the page.

Now of course if you

have any questions,

you can always come

to me or to Frank.

We'll be happy to help you.

I will bend and twist

you band of misfits

and delinquents into

the most marvelous

characters ever

written for the stage.

We start tomorrow,

so hit the script,

and I'll see you all

in the morning, okay?

Chuck.

[Charles] Okay, wrap it up!
