If I Were You Page #10

Synopsis: Two women who meet by chance make a pact to fix their unhappy lives: they will each do what the other one says. But one of them has a secret. She knows her husband is sleeping with the younger woman. Madelyn's plan backfires when Lucy, an aspiring actress, orders her to play King Lear in a very amateur production, with Lucy playing the Fool. Madelyn's life is transformed in unexpected ways as, like Lear, she struggles with matters of mortality and betrayal, loyalty and love.

they shall be the terrors

of the earth.

You think I'll weep?

No. I'll not weep.

I have full cause of weeping.

But this heart shall break into

a hundred thousand

pieces or ere I'll weep.

Singe my head!

Auntie, court holy water

indoors is much better than

this rainwater out of doors.

And that all-shaking thunder,

strike.

Here's a night pities neither

wise man nor fool.

With a heigh-ho, the wind and

the rain must make content with

his fortunes fit, for the rain,

it raineth every day.

Never, never.

Never, never.

Do you see this?

Look upon her.

Look her lips.

Look there.

Look there.

There.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Let's do another one.
