Rob Rouse: Bottom

Quotes 

• Bottom : Manners maketh man, you know.

  Will Shakespeare : Very clever, Bottom. Shaming me with my own phrase.

  Bottom : 'Manners maketh man' is not your phrase, Mr. Shakespeare.

  Bottom : Isn't it? I think it is.

  Will Shakespeare : No, it isn't. It was first quoted by William Horman in his Latin textbook Vulgaria, published in 1549, forty-five years before you were born.

  Bottom : Well, perchance some naughty sprite didst pluck it from my brain, dance back through time to 1519 and whisper it in William Horman's ear at the very moment he was writing his Vulgaria.

• Kate : Caught up in my new book. Sir Walter Raleigh's latest biggie, 'The Discovery of the Large, Rich and beautiful Empire of Guyana, With the Relation of the Great and Golden City of Minoa, brackets, Which the Spaniards Call El Dorado, closed brackets'.

  Bottom : Catchy title.

  Kate : Isn't it? I just can't get enough of these thrilling accounts of adventure and discovery. Queued all night for this one. Got it signed, too. Which, incidentally, Sir Walter charged for, which I though was a bit off considering wihout us he'd be nothing.

• Bottom : Right, you lot! Tea's on table, so get fell to and get stuck in.

  Will Shakespeare : The phrase, Bottom, is 'Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served'.
