Quotes 

• Will Shakespeare : If fame itself be more important than the means by which it be got, then will there dawn a day in Albion where we simply watch a gaggle of inadequates sitting about in a house and call them famous?

  Kate : I think that could actually be quite an interesting social experiment.

  Will Shakespeare : It might start out that way, Kate, but it would soon degenerate into a fatuous game of who bonketh whom.

• Kate : You are aware that Egypt is in Africa, Mr. Shakespeare? I mean, I only ask since I happen to know you think Verona is a port and Bohemia has a coast.

• Kate : [speaks Latin]  Amor vincit Omnia.

  Will Shakespeare : Er, yes, hang on, I know this...

  Kate : Virgil, 'love conquers all'.

  Will Shakespeare : Love conquers all? Could have sworn that was one of mine. Virgil? Are you sure?

  Kate : Quite sure. Nearly two thousand years ago.

  Will Shakespeare : Right, so definitely out of copyright.

  [makes a note of it in his Occasional Book] 

• Kate : [about Otello]  He calls me Sweet Tits, which no doubt be a reference to adorable baby birds.

• 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.
