• Kit Marlowe : Ah Bottom, ale and pie if you please, and afterwards I would be oblidged if you'd mount my ass.

  [hands him a stuffed donkey's head] 

  Bottom : That is not in me job description.

• Will Shakespeare : They don't like the play! They think it's dull and needs more gags.

  Bottom : Well that's not a very helpful comment, is it?

  Will Shakespeare : No it isn't.

  Bottom : I mean they could say that about any of your plays.

• Bottom : So you really do believe in fairies then?

  Will Shakespeare : Absolutely! I've met one!

  Kate : You've met an actual fairy?

  Will Shakespeare : Indeed I have. A Puckish sprite, a will-o'-the-wisp in the employ of the Fairy Queen. It was from him that I got the idea for the potion and it is to just such a potion that I owe the love of mine own sweet Anne.

  Kate : Is this one of your jokes?

  Bottom : Could be. I mean it's not funny and that's usually a clue.
