Hamlet Adaptation (Act 1, Scene 3)

                                   POLONIUS
            Affection?  This is a serious matter my dear.  What do you
            think you're doing, exactly?

                                   OPHELIA
            That's just it, my lord.  I don't know.  He's offered his
            love in an honorable fashion--

                                   POLONIUS
            An honorable fashion?

                                   OPHELIA
            He's backed his words with vows--I don't know what to think!

                                   POLONIUS
            Let me tell you what to think!  He's a young man whose blood
            burns--that's not his tongue doing the talking.
            The vows are nothing but carnal persuasions, so don't you
            believe them.  From here on I do not want you around him in
            private.  Those are my orders.  Do you understand?

                                   OPHELIA
            Yes, my lord.

                                   (End scene.)
