My god, this scene goes on and on!

What need'st thou run so many miles about,
When thou mayest tell thy tale the nearest way?

Dude, I know. Longest. Scene. Ever. In the longest play ever. (Well, longest Shakespeare play, anyway).

Thanks for the file. I will edit it into Act 4.

From the Peanut Gallery, I must say this exchange between you two about this scene has provided humo(u)r and delight all 'round.

And seriously, is this the most disgusting line in all of Shakespeare or what? -

QUEEN ELIZABETH
Yet thou didst kill my children.

KING RICHARD
But in your daughter's womb I bury them:
Where, in that nest of spicery, they shall breed
Selves of themselves, to your recomforture.

What's the opposite of RIP (Rest in Peace)? This guy makes Iago look like an altar boy.

God be praised - the bloody dog is dead!

Denny, perhaps it's RIT - Rest in Torment?

I'm thinking, while it doesn't rhyme, RIH. You follow me here.

I need to listen to Acts 4 and 5 through now that they're edited, and I'm waiting on a line edit for Act 2. Otherwise, I think we're done!
