Gertrude : The poor boy; he hasn't slept for a week! Look how pale those cheeks are! Why, when he was two, still a baby, I used to go around the neighborhood showing off his big fat rosy cheeks to all the local housewives! And look at my sad sonny-boy now! Gosh, Hamlet sweety , you're thin as a rail! Ophelia : And, honey, you just don't eat enough. You never go outside. All I ever see you doing these days is sitting around and reading those horrid philosophy books! Hamlet : Ah me! By what cursed fate did the heavenly powers see fit to create women to make monkeys of us?! Polonius : 'Tis not uncommon with the younger sort that, for a time, it should divert the o'ermastering energies of youth into the dusty study of ponderous tracts and tomes, ever to be seeking the divine cause of all, the origins, issuance, continuance and deterioration of all engendered things, and even the very essence of existence! I was much like him as a lad, and for a time suffered from recurrent migraine headaches through a too eager absorption into the writings of Kierkegaard, Hegel and Schopenhauer! Claudius : Well, no step-son of mine is going to become a bookworm! You don't want to turn into a runt, do you? My brother didn't bring you up that way.
