Quotes 

• Kate : Kate: Oh, my God, Mr Shakespeare, it's brilliant. Timeless. Deathless! "The Most Tragical History Of Romeo And Julian.''

  Will : WS: Oh, yes That should be Juliet, obviously. Romeo And Julian was but a working title.Early exploratory stuff.It meanteth nothing...

  Bottom : Yeah, right!

  Will : What?

  Bottom : Well, come on, master.We live in t'same house.I've heard you reading out your sonnets.Especially 1 to 226.

  Will : Those poems are about a platonic hierarchical relationship.God's naughty etchings! Why does everybody presume that just because I write 126 love poems to an attractive boy, I must be. I must be some kind of bechambered hugger-tugger.

• Will : Kate, don't go there, lady acting is illegal but beside, girls can't act just as they cannot practice law, cure the sick, handle financial matters, will stand for any office.

  Kate : No woman has ever been allowed to try any of those things.

  Will : Because they can't do them!
