Well, if it is anything like my experience in the shed, he is rehearsing with the ushers on how to yell at someone who dares bring food to their seat.   

Or a light-up lightsaber to wave. I heard he's not a fan of that.

 

A guy in my row brought a saber and was told by an usher not to do it. The guy was bummed, but I'm sure the people sitting behind him were happy. That kind of behavior might fly at the Hollywood Bowl, but this is Tanglewood! lol

Get thee to a nunnery!

 

Two nights together had these gentlemen.

 

I prithee, do not mock me, fellow student.

 

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

 

It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

 

My hour is almost come
When I to sulf’rous and tormenting flames
Must render up myself.

 

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

 

Gertrude, do not drink. - I will, my lord; I pray you pardon me. - It is the poisoned cup. It is too late.

 

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

 

What do you read, my lord? - Words, words, words.

 

Bid the players make haste. Will you two help to hasten them?

 

Madam, I swear I use no art at all.

 

That’s good. "Moblèd queen" is good.
 

My lord, I will take my leave of you. - You cannot, sir, take from me anything that I will more willingly part withal.

 

My lord, you played once i' th' university, you say? - That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.

 

Man delights not me, no, nor women neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

 

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

 

O most pernicious woman! O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!

 

Mother, you have my father much offended.

 

Ah ha! Come, some music! Come, the recorders!

 

I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us.

 

Methinks it is like a weasel!

 

I prithee take thy fingers from my throat,
For though I am not splenitive and rash,
Yet have I in me something dangerous,
Which let thy wisdom fear. Hold off thy hand.

 

Nor do not saw the air
too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently;
for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say,
whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and
beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. O,
it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious,
periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very
rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the
most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable
dumb shows and noise. I would have such a fellow
whipped for o’erdoing Termagant. It out-Herods
Herod. Pray you, avoid it.

 

O, O, O, O!

 

Go, bid the soldiers shoot.

Not really. I just re-watched Branagh's Hamlet yesterday (I'd been meaning to for a while) and halfway through had the stupid idea for this post - which still turned into several hours of quote hunting before I was satisfied.

When you do a promo video for Deutsche Grammophon, be prepared to say "Deutsche Grammophone" a lot, because Deutsche Grammophon want you to say Deutsche Grammophon at least twice in every sentence written by Deutsche Grammophon's promo department. I told them they should get some other composers to say "Deutsche Grammophon" a few times, and they said they knew, but they're all dead.
