                                   (Claudius cocks head.)

                                   HAMLET (CONT'D)
            A man can fish with a worm that fed off the corpse of a king,
            and then eat the fish that ate that worm!  Think of it, a
            king can make a formal journey through the guts of a beggar.

                                   CLAUDIUS
            Where is the body of the lord?

                                   HAMLET
            In heaven, look for him there.  And if your messenger has no
            word, seek him out in the other place yourself.

                                   (Beat.)

                                   HAMLET (CONT'D)
            If your search takes too long, you'll smell him beneath the
            stairs to the lobby.

                                   CLAUDIUS
                          (to attendants OS)
            Check the stairs and get the body to the  chapel.

                                   (Beat.)

                                   CLAUDIUS
            Prince Hamlet, for your own safety, we're sending thee hence
            to England on an errand.  With fiery quickness.  Your escorts
            and ship are waiting.

                                   HAMLET
            England.

                                   CLAUDIUS
            Away prince Hamlet.

                                   HAMLET
            Good.

                                   CLAUDIUS
            So it is.

                                   HAMLET
            Farewell mother.

                                   CLAUDIUS
            Father!

                                   HAMLET
            Father and mother are one flesh--therefore mother!  Away!
