Yes, #4 is Much Ado About Nothing, and the quote is from the painfully inept officer. An amazing performance by Micheal Keaton. I remember reading that play in the Shakepearian English class. The teacher talked at length about how the officers were too dumb to even know they were being insulted!
Yeah, once you get a feel for the language Shakespeare is stomach hurting funny or gut wrenching moving! I loved Kenneth Braughn for bringing so many of the great plays to such brilliant life.
And such lines and words, with such meaning. People use them without knowing the full meaning sometimes. Little pitchers have big ears If you prick us, do we not bleed? My horse! My kingdom for a horse! I want my pound of flesh
Right on all! I think it's because we're family and totally in each others heads. Also we quote most of these frequently anyway. I knew you guys would get bunches of them.
