0:00:00.293,0:00:02.381
Hamlet: Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced

0:00:02.381,0:00:04.735
it to you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it,

0:00:04.762,0:00:06.652
as many of your players do,

0:00:06.664,0:00:09.133
I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.

0:00:09.326,0:00:14.914
Nor do not saw the air too much with your hands

0:00:14.914,0:00:16.918
thus, but use all gently;

0:00:17.000,0:00:21.466
for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say,

0:00:21.466,0:00:23.425
the whirlwind of passion,

0:00:23.425,0:00:25.276
you must acquire and beget a temperance

0:00:25.276,0:00:26.933
that may give it smoothness.

0:00:26.933,0:00:28.609
O, it offends me to the soul[br]

0:00:28.609,0:00:31.553
to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow

0:00:31.553,0:00:33.521
tear a passion to tatters,

0:00:33.521,0:00:36.153
to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings,

0:00:36.153,0:00:38.702
who for the most part are capable of nothing

0:00:38.702,0:00:41.245
but inexplicable dumbshows and noise:

0:00:41.245,0:00:43.040
I would have such a fellow whipped

0:00:43.040,0:00:44.855
for o'erdoing Termagant;

0:00:44.855,0:00:47.097
it out-herods Herod: pray you, avoid it.

0:00:47.415,0:00:49.668
Player King: I warrant your honour.

0:00:49.668,0:00:52.478
Hamlet: Be not too tame neither,

0:00:52.478,0:00:55.338
but let your own discretion be your tutor:

0:00:55.338,0:00:57.574
suit the action to the word,

0:00:57.574,0:00:58.966
the word to the action;[br]

0:00:58.966,0:01:00.806
with this special observance that

0:01:00.806,0:01:03.296
you o'erstep not the modesty of nature:

0:01:03.296,0:01:06.396
for any thing so overdone is from the purpose of playing,

0:01:06.396,0:01:08.795
whose end, both at the first and last,

0:01:08.821,0:01:10.602
was and is, to hold,

0:01:10.602,0:01:12.978
as 'twere, the mirror up to nature;

0:01:15.839,0:01:18.206
to show virtue her own feature,

0:01:18.904,0:01:21.390
scorn her own image,

0:01:21.967,0:01:24.339
and the very age and body of the time

0:01:24.829,0:01:26.799
his form and pressure.

0:01:26.799,0:01:28.982
Now this overdone, or come tardy off,

0:01:28.982,0:01:31.022
though it make the unskilful laugh,[br]

0:01:31.022,0:01:34.025
cannot but make the judicious grieve;

0:01:34.025,0:01:36.603
the censure of the which one must in your allowance

0:01:36.603,0:01:38.479
o'erweigh a whole theatre of others.

0:01:38.479,0:01:39.952
Player King: I hope we have reformed

0:01:39.952,0:01:42.302
that indifferently with us, sir.

0:01:43.112,0:01:44.835
Hamlet: O, reform it altogether.

0:01:47.282,0:01:49.871
And let those that play your clowns

0:01:49.871,0:01:51.934
speak no more than is set down for them;

0:01:51.934,0:01:53.959
for there be of them that will themselves laugh,

0:01:53.959,0:01:55.565
to set on some quantity[br]

0:01:55.565,0:01:57.358
of barren spectators to laugh too;

0:01:57.358,0:01:58.942
though, in the mean time,

0:01:58.942,0:01:59.942
some necessary question of the play

0:01:59.942,0:02:01.223
be then to be considered:

0:02:01.223,0:02:03.545
that's villanous, and shows a most pitiful ambition

0:02:03.545,0:02:05.487
in the fool that uses it.

0:02:05.487,0:02:07.359
Go, make you ready.

0:02:07.359,0:02:09.268
How now, my lord!

0:02:09.268,0:02:11.095
Will the king hear this piece of work?

0:02:11.095,0:02:13.545
Polonius: And the queen too, and that presently.

0:02:14.596,0:02:16.311
Hamlet: Bid the players make haste.

0:02:16.751,0:02:18.201
Men: Ta-da!

0:02:19.311,0:02:21.093
Hamlet: Will you two help to hasten them?

0:02:21.733,0:02:23.232
Man: We will, my lord.

0:02:33.457,0:02:35.151
Hamlet: What ho! Horatio!

0:02:35.151,0:02:36.493
Horatio: Here, sweet lord, at your service.

0:02:36.510,0:02:38.491
Hamlet: Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man

0:02:38.491,0:02:40.459
As e'er my conversation coped withal.

0:02:40.459,0:02:41.627
Horatio: O, my dear lord,--

0:02:41.627,0:02:43.469
Hamlet: Nay, do not think I flatter; dost thou hear?

0:02:43.469,0:02:45.607
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice

0:02:45.607,0:02:47.157
And could of men distinguish, her election

0:02:47.157,0:02:49.318
Hath seal'd thee for herself;

0:02:50.523,0:02:51.594
Give me that man

0:02:51.594,0:02:54.350
That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him

0:02:54.350,0:02:58.933
In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,

0:02:59.595,0:03:01.304
As I do thee.-- Something too much of this.--

0:03:01.304,0:03:04.565
There is a play to-night before the king;

0:03:06.089,0:03:08.014
One scene of it comes near the circumstance

0:03:08.014,0:03:10.494
Which I have told thee of my father's death:

0:03:10.815,0:03:13.137
I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,

0:03:13.137,0:03:15.486
Even with the very comment of thy soul

0:03:15.486,0:03:18.168
Observe mine uncle: if his occulted guilt

0:03:18.168,0:03:20.514
Do not itself unkennel in one speech,

0:03:21.794,0:03:23.879
It is a damned ghost that we have seen,

0:03:24.949,0:03:26.655
And my imaginations are as foul

0:03:26.655,0:03:28.815
As Vulcan's smithy.

0:03:28.815,0:03:30.154
Horatio: Well, my lord:

0:03:30.154,0:03:32.036
If he steal aught the whilst this play is playing,

0:03:32.036,0:03:34.116
And 'scape detecting, I will pay the theft.

0:03:34.116,0:03:36.949
They are coming to the play;I must be idle

0:03:36.949,0:03:38.646
Get you a place.

0:03:50.669,0:04:07.897
[Hamlet whistling along with music]

0:04:09.940,0:04:11.940
Claudius: How fares our cousin Hamlet?

0:04:11.940,0:04:14.318
Hamlet: Excellent, i' faith; of the chameleon's dish:

0:04:14.318,0:04:16.767
I eat the air, promise-crammed:[br]

0:04:17.767,0:04:19.501
Claudius: I have nothing with this answer,

0:04:19.501,0:04:21.360
Hamlet; these words are not mine.

0:04:21.360,0:04:22.930
Hamlet: No, nor mine now.

0:04:22.930,0:04:25.635
My lord, you played once i' the university, you say?

0:04:26.575,0:04:28.038
Polonius: That did I, my lord;

0:04:28.038,0:04:30.962
and was accounted a good actor.

0:04:30.962,0:04:32.810
Hamlet: What did you enact?

0:04:32.810,0:04:38.041
Polonius: I did enact Julius Caesar: I was killed i' the

0:04:38.041,0:04:41.149
Capitol; Brutus killed me.

0:04:41.149,0:04:43.351
Hamlet: It was a brute part of him to kill

0:04:43.351,0:04:46.834
so capital a calf there. Be the players ready?

0:04:46.834,0:04:48.710
Man: Ay, my lord; they stay upon your patience.

0:04:48.710,0:04:51.136
Gertrude: Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.

0:04:51.136,0:04:54.951
Hamlet: No, good mother, here's metal more attractive.

0:04:55.375,0:04:57.656
Polonius: O, ho! do you mark that

0:04:58.166,0:05:00.218
Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

0:05:00.218,0:05:01.328
Ophelia: No, my lord.

0:05:01.328,0:05:02.766
Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?

0:05:02.766,0:05:03.997
Ophelia: Ay, my lord.

0:05:03.997,0:05:06.594
Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?

0:05:06.594,0:05:08.310
Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.

0:05:08.310,0:05:11.252
Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

0:05:11.252,0:05:12.776
Ophelia: What is, my lord?

0:05:12.776,0:05:13.944
Hamlet: Nothing.

0:05:13.944,0:05:15.007
Ophelia: You are merry, my lord?

0:05:15.007,0:05:16.251
Hamlet: Who, I?

0:05:16.251,0:05:17.162
Ophelia: Ay, my lord.

0:05:17.162,0:05:19.060
Hamlet: O God, your only jig-maker.

0:05:19.060,0:05:20.679
What should a man do but be merry?

0:05:20.679,0:05:23.293
for, look, how cheerfully my mother looks,

0:05:24.063,0:05:26.222
and my father died within these two hours.

0:05:26.682,0:05:29.754
Ophelia: Nay, 'tis twice two months, my lord.

0:05:29.754,0:05:31.311
Hamlet: So long?

0:05:31.311,0:05:32.653
Nay then, let the devil wear black,

0:05:32.653,0:05:34.417
for I'll have a suit of sables. [br]

0:05:34.417,0:05:36.169
O heavens!

0:05:36.169,0:05:38.889
die two months ago, and not forgotten yet?

0:05:38.919,0:05:43.826
[actors speaking gibberish]

0:06:49.725,0:06:51.185
Actor: Dead!

0:06:53.845,0:06:56.845
Actor: [screaming/crying]

0:07:13.025,0:07:16.825
[clapping]

0:07:24.515,0:07:26.605
[laughing]

0:07:35.565,0:07:39.289
[clapping]

0:07:40.759,0:07:42.231
Ophelia: What means this, my lord?

0:07:42.231,0:07:44.308
Hamlet: Marry, this is miching mallecho;

0:07:44.308,0:07:45.811
it means mischief.

0:07:45.811,0:07:48.524
Ophelia: Belike this show imports the argument of the play.

0:07:48.854,0:07:49.881
Hamlet: We shall know by this fellow:

0:07:49.881,0:07:51.485
the players cannot keep counsel;

0:07:51.485,0:07:52.838
they'll tell all.

0:07:54.497,0:07:57.494
Man: For us, and for our tragedy,

0:07:57.494,0:08:00.162
Here stooping to your clemency,

0:08:00.162,0:08:03.751
We beg your hearing patiently.

0:08:05.841,0:08:08.062
Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?

0:08:08.062,0:08:09.607
Ophelia: 'Tis brief, my lord.

0:08:09.607,0:08:11.629
Hamlet: As woman's love.

0:08:23.054,0:08:25.754
[clapping]

0:08:36.084,0:08:40.596
King [actor]: Full thirty years have passed in sacred ban

0:08:40.596,0:08:46.068
Since love our hearts and Hymen joined our hands

0:08:46.847,0:08:49.638
Queen [actor]: So many journeys may the sun and moon

0:08:49.638,0:08:53.555
Make us again count o'er ere love be done!

0:08:55.978,0:09:01.322
King [actor]: 'Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too;

0:09:01.927,0:09:06.210
My operant powers their functions leave to do:

0:09:07.422,0:09:10.568
And thou shalt live in this fair world behind,

0:09:11.897,0:09:17.848
Honour'd, beloved; and haply one as kind

0:09:18.229,0:09:20.262
For husband shalt thou--

0:09:20.302,0:09:21.992
Queen [actor]: O, confound the rest!

0:09:21.992,0:09:25.485
Such love must needs be treason in my breast:
