Daily Dialogue — November 27, 2015

HENSLOWE: Will! Where is my play? Tell me you have it nearly done! Tell me you have it started.
WILL: (struggling with his boots) Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move.
HENSLOWE: No, no, we haven’t the time. Talk prose. Where is my play?
WILL: (tapping his forehead and heading out the door) It is all locked safe in here.
HENSLOWE: God be praised! (then doubt) Locked?
WILL: As soon as I have found my muse.

— Shakespeare in Love (1998), written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard

The Daily Dialogue theme for the month: Writers and Writing. Today’s suggestion by Katha.

Trivia: Although long portions of Romeo and Juliet are used in this film, along with famous lines from many of Shakespeare’s play, William Shakespeare is not credited in the film.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Katha: “As long as it‘s locked in your head it‘s neither a book nor a play anyone could read.”
