Quotes
-
Will : [quoting from his latest work] 'Blood red will be thy shroud!' And then a nobleman rushes in, 'majesty, I beseech thee, must not a queen this murder do.'
Anne : Shouldn't that be, 'A queen must not do this murder'?
Will : Well, yes, it should, but I always think a sentence sounds better if you mix up the words a bit. It's one of my best tricks.
Susanna : Sounds really try-hard to me.
Will : Or, put more poetically: 'to me sounds, hard try really'. See? Much better.
