Hamlet 3:2

                                   HAMLET
            Oh what a wonderful son that can astonish a mother!  But is
            that all she had to say?

                                   ROSENCRANTZ
            She wishes to speak with you before you retire for the
            evening.

                                   HAMLET
            We shall obey.  Was there anything else?

                                   ROSENCRANTZ
            My lord, you used to love me.

                                   HAMLET
            And still do.

                                   ROSENCRANTZ
            Good, my lord.  Now please tell us what's causing you to act
            so strangely?  You close the door on a cure when you won't
            share troubles with a friend.

                                   HAMLET
            Sir, I lack advancement.

                                   ROSENCRANTZ
            My lord, how can that be when you are heir to the throne?

                                   HAMLET
            While the grass grows the horse starves--to quote the old
            proverb.

                                   (The Players enter.)

                                   HAMLET (CONT'D)
            Oh, the recorders.  Let me see one.

                                   (Player hands Hamlet a recorder.)

                                   HAMLET (CONT'D)
                          (to Rosencrantz and
                           Guildenstern)
            Am I being maneuvered into a trap?

                                   GUILDENSTERN
            Oh my lord, if I'm too forward, it's my love for you that is
            at fault.  I care about your wellbeing my lord.

                                   ROSENCRANTZ
            As of course do I, Prince Hamlet.

                                   HAMLET
                          (offering the recorder)
            Will you play something?
