Nick, you remind me of Yorick. You're a man of good breeding and a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy . . .Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, Nick, tell me one thing.
Art thou a fan of the Bard?
P.S. I tend to look a bit like Yorick. (See above) When my brother's high school students staged it, I tried out for the part, but he didn't give it to me. I think I was beaten out by someone from the Biology Department.
