to seek new friends
and stranger companies.
Egeus:
Hermia!Ohh.
Hermia!
Fare well, sweet play fellow.
Pray thou for us,
and good luck grant thee
thy Demetrius.
Egeus:
Hermia!Ohh.
Keep word, Lysander.
I will, my Hermia.
Helena, adieu.
As you on him,
Demetrius dote on you.
Oh...spite!
Oh, hell.
Ah, buon giorno!
[Speaking Italian ]
Is all our company here?
Here, Peter Quince.
Best to call them
generally, man by man,
according to the scrip.
[ Laughing ]
Come here, here.
Here is the scroll
of every man's name
which is thought fit
through all our town
to play in our interlude
before the duke and duchess
on his wedding day at night.
But first,
good Peter Quince,
say what the play treats on,
then read the names
of the actors,
and so grow to a point.
Marry, our play is
The Most Lamentable Comedy
and Cruel Death
of Pyramus and Thisby.
A very good piece of work,
I assure you, and a merry.
Now, good Peter Quince,
call forth your actors
by the scroll.
Masters...
spread yourselves.
So, uh, answer as I call you.
Nick Bottom the weaver.
Ready.
Name what part I am for,
and proceed.
You, Nick Bottom,
are set down for Pyramus.
What is Pyramus?
A lover or a tyrant?
He's a lover
that kills himself,
most gallant, forlove.
All:
Ahh.That will ask some tears
in the true performing of it.
If I do it, let the audience
look to their eyes.
I will move storms.
I will condole in some measure.
Now, to the rest.
Quince:
Well--Yet, my chief humor
is for a tyrant.
or a part to tear a cat in,
to make all split.
Francis Flute--
The raging rocks
and shivering shocks
shall break the locks
of prison gates,
and Phibbus' car
shall shine from far
and...make and mar
the foolish fates.
Ha ha ha.
This was lofty. Ha ha.
Uh, ahem, Pyramus.
Uh, Francis Flute
the bellows-mender.
Here, Peter Quince.
Francis Flute,
you must take Thisby on you.
What is Thisby?
A wandering knight?
He's the lady
that Pyramus mustlove.
[ Laughing ]
Nay, faith,
let not me play a woman.
I have a beard coming.
And I may hide my face,
let me play Thisby, too.
Ohh--
I'll speak in
"Thisne, Thisne!"
Ah, Pyramus, my lover dear,
thy Thisby dear, and lady dear!"
Ohh!
No, no,
you must play Pyramus.
Snout...
and Flute, you Thisby.
[ Applause ]
Robin Starveling the tailor.
Here, Peter Quince.
Ah, well...
Snug the joiner,
you the lion's part.
Ahh.
And I hope we have
a play well fitted.
Have you
the lion's part written?
Pray you, if it be,
give it me,
for I am slow of study.
No, you may do it extempore,
