    First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
    You say bees sting, I say bees wax.

    It's a villain that says that line and it is meant to show respect for lawyers, btw. The conspirators cannot achieve their dastardly goals with all the smart lawyers in the way.

    Either that, or Billy S. got screwed by an agent.

    Yeah, yeah - what play is it from? (I think you're stalling.)

    Oh, I didn’t think you wanted the actual answer here.

    Henry VI. The line about bees is the response IIRC.

    I'll give it to you even though you didn't say which Part. ;-)

    It’s the part where the guy says something about killing lawyers. I though that was obvious. ;-)

    Not the immediate response, it's a few lines down, and I will admit I had to look that up.

    In terms of the 3 Henry VI plays, this quote is from the best one of the three, if that helps.

    This is RJ though the reason I remember is because I looked it up after featuring heavily into WestWorld’s first season a few years back.

    Had no clue On the lawyers...

    Yep. Friar Laurence says it to Romeo in the wedding scene before Juliet enters. Most of Friar Laurence's role is giving Romeo advice. If Romeo had listened, there would be no play.

    The rest of the line is therefore love moderately, long love doth so.

    I'm doing one more because it's my favorite quote in all of Shakespeare:

    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

    Actually, I got my handle from The Simpsons:

    As for the quote:

    "Hamlet didn't say that."
    "I think I remember Hamlet accurately."
    "Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did."

    I was hoping there was a Clueless fan around here.

    Side question - what Jane Austen novel is the source material for Clueless?

    Northanger Freeway? Tai and Prejudice? Dress and Sensibility? MacArthur Park? Purse-suasion? Sanditon Monica?

    Nah, it’s the other one.
    Spoiler!


    I’m good at trivia, not so good at knowing quotes. I don’t retain poetry. I’ve never spoken the words “I believe it was John Stuart Mill who said...”

    But here’s one that comes to mind because of recent college basketball, specifically Mr. Stanley and Mr. Winston:

    “Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look”

    Julius Caesar, Act 1 Scene 2

    I'm writing a book on why Shakespeare is responsible, more or less, for World War I and II.

    I can do this all day. My favorites though, are the insults. I give my acting students a sheet of them and have them chase each other down while shouting them at the top of their lungs.
