LOL all over again. Dramatic irony is so much fun in this scene.

In fact, the entire script is a delight to read. I may have grabbed this quote from you in a class; at any rate, it certainly illustrates the power of a sparkling, witty, intelligent screenplay:


"I got to maybe page three and this script was so full of invention, so funny, I was laughing out loud. I looked up at my agent and said 'I've got to be in this."

Geoffrey Rush - SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE

When you consider he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his Henslowe, you just know he saw that potential in the script. And, of course, that success led to his wonderfully lovable meanie --aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh-- Cap'n Barbossa in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Great scene and script!

Thanks.

That's a great quote from Geoffrey Rush. I'll have to add that to the files. It really is a great script, lots of humor and heart. Glad I watched the movie and read the script again recently -- saw so many new dimensions in it this time around.
