GUILDENSTERN
My lord, may I have a word with you?
HAMLET
Sir, you may have a whole history!
GUILDENSTERN
The king, sir.
Yes? What about him?
GUILDENSTERN
He's very upset.
HAMLET
What, with drink?
GUILDENSTERN
No my lord, with anger.
HAMLET
Well then, you should have more sense than to tell this to
his doctor. If it were up to me, I'd give him still another
dose!
GUILDENSTERN
My lord, your mother the Queen is also distressed and sent me
to you.
HAMLET
Well then, you're very welcome.
GUILDENSTERN
My lord, if you will be so kind as to give me a rational
answer, I'll carry out your mother's instructions. If not,
your pardon and my return--
HAMLET
Sir, I cannot.
ROSENCRANTZ
Cannot what, my lord?
HAMLET
Give a rational answer. My wit's diseased. But such an
answer I can make, you may command--or rather, as you say, my
mother. Now, what did she say again?
ROSENCRANTZ
She says your behavior has struck and astonished her.
