Were The World Mine Page #2
Sick, aren't they?
Sick.
"I jest to Oberon
and make him smile
When I a fat and
bean-fed horse beguile,
Neighing in likeness
of a filly foal:
And sometime lurk I
in a gossip's bowl,
In very likeness
of a roasted crab,
And when she drinks,
against her lips I bob"
This is for Helena.
Where's the rest of it?
One of my personal favorites!
Patience, Dr. Bellinger.
I've not forgotten
about your frock.
These are for the
Pyramus and Thisby finale,
which I have reinvented
as an incredibly hip song.
That's hot, Ms. T.
Shakespeare was meant
for the masses.
"How now, spirit!
Whither wander you?"
"Either I mistake your shape
and making quite,
Or else you are that shrewd
and knavish sprite
Call'd Robin Goodfellow:
are you not he that frights
the maidens of the villagery?"
"Thou speak'st aright;
I am that merry wanderer
of the night."
Now remember, my dear -
there are no limitations.
You're early.
Oh... we could...
Couldn't wait one moment more
to show off my newest protege.
Nora Fay!
I'm honored.
Did you bring the new lotions?
Darling, we brought everything!
Go ahead!
She doesn't get it.
This year's varsity rugby team
is one of the best
in the history
of our institution.
So, this has nothing to
do with time requirements?
We are concerned
about the tradition -
members of the rugby team
portraying females?
Truth be told!
It's bad for morale.
You're embarrassing them!
Only because you've
trained them
to cast judgement
upon each other.
The Academy is concerned that we
are sending the wrong message.
The Academy has been
staging Shakespeare
in this fashion
for 56 years.
We live in a different time.
Your ignorance of the history
of this Academy
and the history of the
theater is offensive.
Women were prohibited by law
to act on the Elizabethan stage!
Men filled the void.
If this confabulation is about
your insecurities with sexuality
or the sexuality of
your warriors...
I don't have issues
with my sexuality!
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
is the senior play.
The cast is chosen.
Thank you, gentlemen.
- Jock boy?
I think he wants
to kick my ass.
I think my star quality
is rubbing off.
Why don't you rub up
on Max a little bit?
Maxie...
Well, stop waiting for him.
# MAYBE THAT'S WHY
# 'CAUSE HE'S GAY,
HE'S GAY, HE'S GAY! #
He's not gay!
Mom!
Mom?!
Hey, Ms. Tebbit needs
a band for the play.
Really?
Hey!
Where we going?
It's wet out here.
You'll catch cold.
You look beautiful.
Right.
Training was good?
Apparently, I've got a lot
of learning to do.
She said that?
I know I could sell the sh*t
if she'd just let me
out the door with it.
I miss your daddy.
- Dad's an a**hole.
- We were better off.
What?
- You didn't even try.
- He kicked me out.
You left!
You can have him.
I'm fine.
So, you'd rather live
with Frankie again?
She a better mother?
You're my mother!
Like it or not.
Why are you gay?
What did I do?
You didn't make me queer.
Don't use that word, Timothy!
Nobody did.
I'm just queer.
- So deal with it.
- Go to hell!
I do deal with it, Timothy.
Every day I deal with it.
You're not the only one
Every single day I come out
of the closet just like you.
This is not just your problem.
It's both of ours
and I'm trying!
I'm open.
Over here!
Good form.
from my flow'ry bed."
Good form?
He said that?
Isn't he like super jock?
Come on, keep going.
Demetrius says,
"Yea, art thou there?"
"Follow my voice:
Will try no manhood here."
You'll need that manhood
for your jock boy!
That's not what it means.
Manhood!
"Courage! They're about
to fight for love."
"My gentle Puck, come hither.
Thou rememberest
that very time I saw,
but thou couldst not,
Cupid all arm'd:
a certain aim he took at
"Vestal throned by the west.
And loosed his love-shaft
smartly from his bow,
As it should pierce
Go on.
"Yet marked I where
the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little
western flower,"
"Before milk-white,
now purple with love's wound."
Luscious. Continue.
"Fetch me that flower;
the herb I showed thee once:
The juice of it on
sleeping eye-lids laid
Will make or man
Upon the next
live creature that it sees."
"I'll put a girdle round about
"Having once this juice -
"I'll watch Titania
when she is asleep
And drop the liquor
of it in her eyes."
"The next thing then
with the soul of love."
We'd love to have you
stay for bible study.
- I have wings to make.
- It's a potluck!
No, for my son.
He's a fairy.
- A fairy?
- In a play.
Well, in real life, too.
He's gay.
My son is gay...
Or queer.
But the wings
are for the play.
A man shall not
lie with man...
Do you want the damn
eye cream or not?
Now, with the soul of love
I ask of you the memorization
of act three tonight.
Timothy.
How is your text coming?
I'm trying, but I don't
understand half of it.
Unite rhythm with words
and they will unlock
to empower you -
like A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S
DREAM come true.
"Take pains;
be perfect:
adieu."Down... up... 9!
Down...
up... 10!
Who did it?
Look who just
flew in from Fairyland?
Did you?
Hey, bud, calm down.
- Who did it?
- Let's walk.
F*ggot!
Fight! Fight!
Look, guys!
I caught a fairy!
Leave the pansy alone.
Get out of here!
He's not worth it.
"I'll put a girdle round about
A girdle?
"I'll put a girdle round about
the earth... In forty minutes."
"I'll put a girdle round about
the earth...
"I'll put a girdle
round about the earth...
Cupid's love juice...
IF THEY COULD... #
# I WILL WORK

# I KNOW NOT BY WHA POWER I AM MADE BOLD #
# BUT STILL YOU FLOU MY INSUFFICIENCY? #
# YOUR TONGUE'S
SWEET MELODY #
# I AM NOTAFRAID... #
# FAIRIES AWAY
SWIFT AS A SHADOW#
FROM MY FLOW'RY BED? #
# I PRAY THEE
GENTLE MORTAL #
