HAMLET
(slashing with foil)
I like this one. These foils are all of the same length?
OSRIC
Yes, my lord.
(Enter SERVANTS with PITCHERS of wine.)
CLAUDIUS
Set the wine upon the table. If Hamlet gets the first or
second hit, or draws on the third, let all the battlements
fire off a round. The king shall drink to Hamlet's
performance and throw a pearl more valuable than one worn by
four successive kings of Denmark have worn in their crown.
Give me the cups--let the drums signal the trumpets, and the
trumpets the artillery outside, and the cannons the heavens
that the king drinks to the prince. Come, begin! And the
judges bear a wary eye.
HAMLET
Come on, sir.
LAERTES
Come, my lord.
(They fence.)
HAMLET
One.
LAERTES
No.
HAMLET
Judgement.
OSRIC
A hit.
LAERTES
Well, again.
CLAUDIUS
Stay. Give me a drink. Hamlet this pearl is yours. Here's
to thy health.
(He drops poison into cup. Drums,
trumpets and cannon sound off.)
CLAUDIUS (CONT'D)
Give him the cup.
HAMLET
I'll play this bout first. Set it aside. (To Laertes.)
Come.
