(Boys cheer)
He's holding the man, sir!
He's holding!
- Just get on with it!
- It's a free kick, sir!
Sweet flower,
I strew.
O, woe!
Thy canopy is
but dust and stones,
which with sweet water
nightly will I dew.
Can't you do it sadder?
You're Paris. She's Juliet.
You've lost your fiance,
not your bus pass.
Or wanting that,
with tears distilled...
No, stop. Stop.
Can you imagine
what it would be like
to, say, lose your girlfriend.
I guess so, sir.
It'd be tremendously sad,
wouldn't it?
What's her name?
I don't have a girlfriend,
sir.
BOY:
Yeah, wonder why!(Laughter)
Here, lying in her tomb, eh?
Cold. The colour -
colour's gone from her face!
See?
Lifeless!
TIM:
Or wanting that, withtears distilled by moans,
the obsequies that I
for thee shall keep
nightly shall be
to strew thy grave.
- And weep.
(Applause)
