Polonius : How are you, Hamlet?
Hamlet : Alright, thank God.
Polonius : Do you know me?
Hamlet : Sure, You are the butcher.
Polonius : No, I'm not.
Hamlet : I wish you were.
Polonius : Why?
Hamlet : It would make you more respectable. Only one man in 10,000 is respectable and even he's nothing much to boast about.
Polonius : That's true.
Hamlet : For if the sun breeds maggots in a dead bitch it's worth the carrion to kiss it. You got a daughter?
Polonius : Yes.
Hamlet : Don't let her take too much sun, for it's nobler to give. Tell her about the facts of life or she might burst pregnant.
Polonius : You're talking about my daughter? In my youth I, too suffered much for love. Almost just like you. What are you reading?
Hamlet : Words, words, words.
Polonius : About what?
Hamlet : About it.
Polonius : I mean: what's in the magazine?
Hamlet : Gossip. Even if it was true, it's disgusting to print it because one day you'll be as old as I am, if you go backward like a crab.
Polonius : I see. I must go. Will we meet again?
Hamlet : I can't promise you anything else with as much pleasure, butcher except mu life, except my life, except my life.
Polonius : Mad!
