POLONIUS Your majesty, the prince will be here at any moment. (He moves towards tapestry.) Simply be clear with him that his behavior will not be tolerated--that you've already shielded him from censure.
GERTRUDE I hear him coming.
POLONIUS Be firm, I'll be here.
(Polonius hides, Hamlet enters.)
HAMLET Now, mother, what's the matter?
GERTRUDE Hamlet, you have offended your father, greatly.
HAMLET Mother, you have offended my father, greatly.
GERTRUDE Do not play games with me.
HAMLET I request you not do the same.
GERTRUDE Hamlet, please....
HAMLET What?
GERTRUDE Have you forgotten who I am?
HAMLET No, I haven't. You are the Queen, your husband's brother's wife--or otherwise--my mother.
GERTRUDE I'll bring in someone else to speak with you.
