[Enter Hamlet, reading a book]

Queen: Oh, look Hamlet is reading.

Polonius (to Queen): Stay back. I’ll talk to him.

Polonius (to Hamlet): How are you, Hamlet?

Hamlet: Good.

Polonius: You know me, right?

Hamlet: Oh, yeah. You are that fisherman, aren’t you?

Polonius: No, not me!

Hamlet: Well, not many people are honest.

Polonius: That’s true!

Hamlet: The sun creates maggots from a dead dog. Well, do you have a daughter?

Polonius: Yes, I have.

Hamlet: [Emphasize] Don’t let her walk in the sun or else she will get pregnant!

Polonius: [Walk close to Hamlet.]What are you reading?

Hamlet: Words, words, words!

Polonius: What is it about?

Hamlet: It’s about old men with their ugly faces and their low wit.

Polonius (Aside): There is method behind his madness!

Polonius (to Hamlet): Will you come down?

Hamlet: Into my grave?

Polonius: Indeed, I’m leaving now.

Hamlet: Bye!

Hamlet (Aside): What a tedious old fool!

[Enter Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.]

Rosencrantz (to Hamlet): Hi!

Guildenstern (to Hamlet): Hi!

Hamlet: My old friends, how are you?

Rosencrantz: We’re doing okay.

Hamlet: Why are you guys here?

Rosencrantz: Just want to visit you.

Hamlet: Are you sure you guys weren’t called for?

Guildenstern: Yes, we were sent for.

Hamlet: I’ll tell you why you were sent. They believe I am crazy.

Rosencrantz: Well, I don’t think you are crazy. I hope the actors will entertain you.

Hamlet: Alright cool. The actors are here.

Rosencrantz：Yes, they are from the city.

Hamlet: Are they famous?

Rosencrantz: Yes, they are very famous.

Guildenstern: Oh, look! They are actors!

Hamlet: Welcome to Elsinore, my friends!
