-
...the one and only Miss Catherine Tate!
-
That's all we need is a double English.
-
English is wool dry.
-
I don't see what's so great about reading, anyway?
-
Nah, reading's for losers!
-
Ain't it, though?
-
At least we got a new teacher today.
-
Yeah, right, that'll be a laugh, won't it?
-
Morning.
-
Alright.
-
As I'm sure you're aware, my name is Mr Logan.
-
I'm your new English teacher. Nice to meet you all.
-
Hope you're all ready to get to grips with some Elizabethan literature.
-
Let's all turn to page 53 in our poetry textbooks, and we'll dive straight in with the Bard himself.
-
- Sir?
- Yeah?
-
Are you English, sir?
-
No, I'm Scottish.
-
So you ain't English then.
-
No. I'm British.
-
So you ain't English then.
-
No I'm not, but as you can see I do speak English.
-
But I can't understand what you're saying, sir.
-
Well, clearly, you can.
-
Sorry, are you talking Scottish now?
-
No, I'm talking English.
-
Right. Don't sound like it.
-
OK. Whatever you want.
-
Now, let's get on with Shakespeare.
-
I don't think you're qualified to teach us English.
-
I am perfectly qualified to teach English.
-
I don't think you are, though.
-
You don't have to be English to teach it.
-
Right. Have we got double English or double Scottish?
-
Is your name Lauren Cooper, by any chance?
-
Yeah. Why?
-
Your reputation proceeds you.
-
Don't it though?
-
So. Shakespeare's sonnets...
-
- Sir?
- A sonnet is a poem...
-
- Sir?
- ...written in fourteen lines...
-
- ...the last two of which...
- Sir?
-
- ... must form a rhyming couplet...
- Sir?
-
- Sir?
- Yes, Lauren!
-
Can I ask you a question?
-
Not just now.
-
Can I ask you a question now?
-
Just wait.
-
But can I ask you a question? I only wanna ask you a question.
-
Can't I ask you a question? I'm just asking you a question. Can't I ask you a question?
-
What is it?
-
Are you the Doctor?
-
Doctor Who?
-
I don't know what you're talking about.
-
You look like Doctor Who, though.
-
I'm not Doctor Who, I'm your English teacher.
-
I don't think you are, though.
-
Lauren...
-
I think you're a 945-year-old Time Lord.
-
Listen...
-
Did ya just pitch up from Mars?
-
Don't be ridiculous.
-
- You know your house, right?
- What?
-
You know your house?
-
Yeah...
-
Is it bigger on the inside?
-
Be quiet.
-
Did you park the TARDIS on a meter?
-
Can we please get back to Shakespeare!
-
Thank you!
-
So...
-
Do you fancy Billie Piper, sir?
-
You are the most insolent child I have ever had the misfortune to teach.
-
Thank you.
-
You're pointless, repetitious, and extremely dull.
-
Bit like Shakespeare.
-
You're not even worthy to mention his name.
-
William Shakespeare was a genius! You, little madam, are definitely not!
-
Now just sit there, keep your mouth shut, or I will fail you in this whole module right now!
-
Amist I bothered?
-
What?
-
Amist I bothered, for sooth?
-
Lauren...
-
Looketh at my face.
-
Stop it.
-
Ist this the bothered face that sits before thee?
-
Right. I'm calling your parents.
-
Are you disrespecting the house of Cooper?
-
Are thou calling my mother a pox-ridden wench?
-
Are thou calling my father a goodly rotten apple?
-
- He ain't even a goodly rotten apple.
- Listen to me.
-
But he ain't even a goodly rotten apple, though.
-
- That's enough. Lauren. Lauren.
- Faceth, my friend. Looketh.
-
- That's enough. Stop. Stop. Stop.
- My liege. My liege. My liege. My liege.
-
(in a mocking Scottish accent)
You take the high road and I'll take the low road.
-
I ain't even bothered.
-
Face. Bothered. Bothered face. Bothered. I ain't even bothered.
-
My liege, I be not bothered, for sooth, I be not bothered.
-
Face. Bother. I ain't even bothered. Face. Bother. Shakespeare. Sonnets. I ain't even bothered.
-
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun.
-
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
-
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
-
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
-
I have seen roses demasked, red and white.
-
But no such roses see I in her cheeks.
-
And in some perfume is there more delight
-
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
-
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
-
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
-
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
-
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
-
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belies with false compare.
-
Bite me, alien boy!
-
{sonics her}
-
That's better.
-
A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
-
I still ain't bothered!
