HAMLET
In that case, will all three of you go help the players make
haste?
ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN
R: Yes my lord. G: My lord.
(Polonius, Rosencrantz, and
Guildenstern exit.)
HAMLET
Horatio!
(Horatio enters.)
HORATIO
Here sweet lord, at your service.
HAMLET
I have always considered you a fine fellow, Horatio.
HORATIO
(flattered)
My dear lord!
HAMLET
I'm not flattering you. Let the candied tongue lick the pomp
of the vain; let the knee bend when there's something to be
gained. That's not why I called you.
HORATIO
Very well, my lord.
HAMLET
Ever since I was able to distinguish qualities in men, I've
always singled you out. Someone who in suffering all,
suffers nothing--who looks upon fortune's scorn or blessings
without passion. Give me that person who is not passion's
slave and I'll take them to heart--to my heart of hearts--as
I do you Horatio.
HORATIO
(bowing)
My lord.
HAMLET
As you know there is a play tonight before the king, and one
scene comes very close to the circumstance of my father's
death. When that part arrives, observe my uncle.
If his guilt does not make its presence known, then it's a
demon we have seen upon the ramparts, and my suspicions are
foul as hell. But watch him closely, and so will I. We'll
then talk about it later.
HORATIO
Yes, my lord. I will be watching.
HAMLET
(hearing the approach of the
King and Queen)
Here they come. I must put on my disposition, you, go and
stake a position.
(Horatio bows and exits. Enter
Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius,
Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and
attendants.)
