LAERTES
Have at you now.
(Laertes wounds Hamlet, they scuffle,
dropping their weapons.)
CLAUDIUS
Part them.
(They change rapiers.)
HAMLET
Come again.
(He wounds Laertes. Gertrude falls.)
OSRIC
Look--the Queen!
HORATIO
They're both bleeding. (To Hamlet.) How are you my lord?
OSRIC
How are you Laertes?
LAERTES
Like a hunter caught in it's own trap. I am justly killed by
my own treachery.
HAMLET
(to Gertrude)
How is the queen?
CLAUDIUS
She faints at the sight of blood.
GERTRUDE
No, no, the drink, the drink! Oh my dear Hamlet! The drink,
the drink! I'm poisoned!
(She dies.)
HAMLET
Oh villainy Lock the doors! Treachery! Unmask it!
(Osric exits.)
