                                   MARCELLUS
            Hi-low-ho-ho boy!

                                   HAMLET
            Hi-low-ho-ho, come bird!

                                   HORATIO & MARCELLUS
            M: What happened!  H: My lord!

                                   HAMLET
            This is between us.

                                   HORATIO
            As we are living, my lord.

                                   HAMLET
            Everyone alive is a child of a rotten system.


                                   HORATIO
            No need for a ghost to exit their grave and tell us that.

                                   HAMLET
            You're right!  You're right!  I need to be alone this moment.

                                   HORATIO
            Are you all right my lord?

                                   HAMLET
            This night is heavy.  I must be alone now.  Both of you, say
            not a word of tonight.

                                   HORATIO & MARCELLUS
            H:  At not, my lord.  M:  You have my trust--always.

                                   HORATIO
            This night is a thrill, it was so strange.

                                   HAMLET
            And as a stranger, welcome it.  There are more things in
            heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
            philosophy.  Let's swear on this night.  (Unsheathes sword.)
            From this moment forward, no matter how strange I appear or
            act, whether you see it or hear it from another, you'll reply
            you trust the prince.  What I'm set to do I myself am still
            not sure.  It will require craft.  I need your allegiance.
            You are now my ministers.  Swear allegiance, I pray thee.

                                   (Place hands on sword, cross hearts.)

                                   HAMLET (CONT'D)
            Very well.

                                   (Hamlet summons courage.)
