Oh, God, I hate Shakespeare
That's right, I said it
[NIGEL (spoken)]
No!
[NICK]
I do, I hate Shakespeare
[NIGEL (spoken)]
Why?
[NICK]
I just don't get it
How a mediocre actor from a measly little town
Is suddenly the brightest jewel in England's royal crown?
Oh, God, I hate Shakespeare
His plays are wordy, but
Oh, no, the great Shakespeare
That little turd, he has no
Sense about the audience
He makes them feel so dumb
The bastard doesn't care that my
Poor ass is getting numb
Oh, God, I hate Shakespeare
That's right, I said it
[NIGEL (spoken)]
No!
