WILL:
She is always Aphrodite.
HENSLOWE:
Aphrodite Baggot who does it behind
the Dog and Trumpet?
WILL:
Henslowe, you have no soul so how can
you understand the emptiness that
seeks a soulmate?
HENSLOWE:
Well, I am a dead man and buggered to
boot. My theatre is close by the
plague these twelve weeks, my company
is playing the inn-yards
of England, while Burbage and the
Chamberlain's Men are invited to court
and receive ten pounds to play your
piece, written for my theatre, by my
writer, at my risk when you were green
and grateful -
WILL:
What piece? Richard Crookback?
HENSLOWE:
No--it's comedy they want, Will!
Comedy! Like Romeo and Ethel?
WILL:
Who wrote that?
HENSLOWE:
Nobody! You are writing it for me! I
gave you three pounds a month since.
WILL:
Half what you owed me. I am still due
for One Gentleman of Verona.
EXT. ANOTHER STREET. DAY
HENSLOWE'S hardly paused in his appeal.
HENSLOWE:
. . . Will! What is money to you and
me? I, your patron, you my wordwright!
When the plague lifts Burbage will
have a new Christopher Marlowe for the
Curtain and I have nothing for the
Rose.
WILL stops.
WILL:
Mr. Henslowe, will you lend me fifty
pounds?
HENSLOWE:
(staggered)
Fifty pounds? What for?
WILL:
Burbage offers me a partnership in the
Chamberlain's Men. For fifty pounds my
hired player days are over.
HENSLOWE:
Cut out my heart! Throw my liver to
the dogs!
WILL:
(answering for him)
No, then.
WILL turns down a side street.
EXT. MARKETPLACE. DAY.
HENSLOWE and WILL are crossing a crowded marketplace
where a Puritan preacher, MAKEPEACE, is haranguing anyone
who will listen.
