your male aggressions into.

But Richard llI has a little problem here.

But I...

...that am not shaped

for sportive tricks...

...nor made to court...

...an amorous looking-glass.

I, that am curtail'd

of this fair proportion...

...cheated of feature

by dissembling nature, deformed.

- Deformed.

- He was a hunchback.

PACINO:

Deformed. Deformed.

Unfinish'd...

...sent before my time

into this breathing world...

...scarce half made up...

...and that so lamely

and unfashionable...

...that dogs bark at me

as I halt by them.

Why, I, in this weak piping

time of peace...

...have no delight

to pass away the time...

...unless to see my shadow in the sun...

...and descant upon

mine own deformity.

Shakespeare has exaggerated

his deformity...

...in order to body forth dramatically...

...visually, metaphorically...

...the corruption of his mind.

Therefore...

...since I cannot prove a lover...

...to entertain these fair

well-spoken days...

...I am determined to prove a villain...

...and to hate the idle pleasures

of these days.

Richard's always saying:

"Here's the situation and what I'll do.

Watch this. " Then he does it.

Then they leave, he says:

"Wasn't that good, or what?

Did you see? This is fun. "

Plots have I laid...

...inductions dangerous...

...to set my brother Clarence

and the king...

...in deadly hate

the one against the other.

And if King Edward be as true...

...and just as I am subtle,

false and treacherous...

...this day should Clarence

be mew'd up...

...about a prophecy...

...that says that G of Edward's heirs

the murderer shall be.

It's, "This day should Clarence be

mew'd up...

...about a prophecy which says that G

of Edward's heirs. "

[PHONE RINGS]

KIMBALL:
Right.

- By "G," what does that mean?

- Yes?

- Clarence...

George, Duke of Clarence.

- His first name is really George.

PACINO:
Whose first name?

Clarence's.

That's why he's called "G."

PACINO:
Yeah.

KIMBALL:
I suggest you change it to "C."

"This day should Clarence be mew'd up

about a prophecy which says that...

...C of Edward's heirs

the murderer shall be. "

C of Edward's heirs

the murderer shall be.

Dive, thoughts, down to my soul.

Here Clarence comes.

Cut.

What we gotta do, what we should do,

is get actors in here...

...not audition them,

just get them in...

... and let them just sit around,

just see and read.

We'll have different people read

different roles. Hopefully somehow...

...the role and the actor will merge.

The actor will find the role.

An actor will read one part...

... another actor reads another.

Hopefully, the casting will get done.

PACINO:

Who's got Dorset?

Who's got Dorset?
