A lovely pearl, milord, so luminous:
I thank you for it. Now please, get rid
of that wretched jester Yorick.
He isn't funny any more. I can't suppose
he ever was. People may split their sides,
but all their laughter is in deference
to you and to the sceptre that you wield.
What kind of influence is he
on little Hamlet? The boy repeats
his sly innuendoes and dirty jokes
He dotes on him! I know your brother
agrees with me. So do kill him, will you?
That's a good king.
