Richard III Page #3

...- although I cannot - myself to be

a marvellous, proper man!

I'll entertain a score or two of tailors...

...To study fashions to adorn my body...

...And then return lamenting to my love!

Shine out, fair sun,

till I've bought a glass...

...That I may see my shadow...

...as I pass!

(coughs wheezily)

Catesby!

Clarence still breathes.

Edward still lives and reigns.

When they are gone...

...then shall I count my gains.

(toy gunshots)

- (toy gunshot)

- Uhh!

The king is sickly, weak and melancholy.

Have patience, sister.

No doubt his majesty will soon

recover his accustomed health.

His physicians fear for him mightily.

If he were dead,

what would become of me?

The heavens have blessed you

with two goodly sons...

...To be your comforters when he's gone.

Ah, but they're young, and their minority...

...ls put into the trust of

Richard Gloucester...

...A man who loves not me

nor you, my brother.

Is it confirmed he will be Lord Protector?

If the king miscarry.

My love...

...what danger can befall to you...

...So long as Edward

is your constant friend...

...And a sovereign...

...whom Richard must obey?

Yes, and shall obey...

...and love you, too.

(James) Pow! Pow!

Ratcliffe!

Whas his name?

His name is Tyrell, sir.

I partly know the man.

Is your name Tyrell?

James Tyrell...

...and your most obedient servant.

Are you indeed?

Prove me, my gracious lord.

(pig squeals)

(door creaks open)

Oh, I have passed a miserable night.

I thought that I had broken

from the Tower...

...And was embarked across

to Burgundy...

...And, in my company,

my brother Richard...

...Who from my cabin

tempted me to walk upon the hatches.

As we paced along...

...I thought that Richard stumbled,

and in falling...

...Struck me overboard...

...lnto the tumbling billows of the main.

Oh, Lord, I thought what pain

it was to drown!

What dreadful noise of water in my ears.

What sights of ugly death within my eyes.

I thought I saw a thousand

fearful wrecks...

...A thousand men

that fishes gnawed upon...

...Wedges of gold, great anchors,

heaps of pearl...

...lnestimable stones, unvalued jewels...

...All scattered in the bottom of the sea.

(thunder)

Some lay in dead men's skulls...

...and in the holes

where eyes did once inhabit...

...there were crept,

as it were in scorn of eyes...

...reflecting gems...

...That wooed the slimy bottom

of the deep...

...And mocked the dead bones

that lay scattered by.

My dream was lengthened after life.

Oh, then began the tempest to my soul.

With that, I thought a legion

of foul fiends...

...environed me...

...and howled in my ears

such hideous cries...

...that with the very noise...
