The world’s first and presumably last mashup of William Shakespeare and the Coen Brothers, by award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter Adam Bertocci (from the Facebook page).
THE KNAVE
Good sir, speak plain. I know not these villains, surely would I ne’er traffic with this man of Orient birth who so abused my rug. I have not the facility to present him with the rate of usance and demand money in kind for that which he has spent upon’t; so I entreat you, speak plain.WALTER
I speak the truth; my words are straight and true.
The man of Orient birth is not the issue.DONALD
The Orient, Sir Walter?WALTER
I speak, old friend, of truths in desert land.
The hour is nigh to draw line in the sand.THE KNAVE
Deserts? I had made it plain that he was Orient-man.WALTER
Though words in haste be only human nature,
‘Orient-man’ is not preferr’d nomenclature.
