Sampson boldly declared to Gregory, "On my word, we'll not carry coals." Gregory retorted, "No, for then we should be colliers." Sampson clarified his statement, "I mean, if we are in choler, we'll draw." Gregory jokingly warned, "While you live, draw your neck out of collar."

Sampson boasted, "I strike quickly, being moved." Gregory countered, "But you are not quickly moved to strike." Sampson confessed, "A dog of the house of Montague moves me." Gregory philosophically noted, "To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand. Therefore, if you are moved, you run away."

Sampson stood his ground, "A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's." Gregory teased him, "That shows you a weak slave, for the weakest goes to the wall." Sampson agreed, "'Tis true, and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall. Therefore, I will push Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall."

Gregory reminded him, "The quarrel is between our masters and us, their men." Sampson defiantly stated, "'Tis all one. I will show myself a tyrant. When I have fought with the men, I will be civil with the maids; I will cut off their heads."

Gregory incredulously asked, "The heads of the maids?" Sampson confirmed, "Yes, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads. Take it in what sense you will." Gregory noted, "They must take it in sense that feel it." Sampson assured him, "Me they shall feel while I am able to stand, and 'tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh."

Gregory joked, "'Tis well you are not fish; if you were, you would have been poor-john. Draw your tool. Here comes one of the house of Montagues." Just then, Abram entered with another serving man.

We move down off of this, showing the impressive pedestal on which the monument is founded. The words, \"Walter Parks Thatcher\" are prominently and elegantly engraved thereon. Immediately below the inscription we encounter, in a medium shot, the person of Bertha Anderson, an elderly, manish spinnster, seated behind her desk.

Under no circumstances are direct quotations from his manuscript to be used by you. THOMPSON That's all right. BERTHA You may come with me. Without watching whether he is following her or not, she rises and starts towards a distant and imposingly framed door. Thompson, with a bit of a sigh, follows.";

In front of us is an expensive marble statue of Mr. Walter Parks Thatcher depicted in a noble manner, sitting on a Booth chair, staring downward with fixed eyes. Zooming out, we can see a grand pedestal upon which the statue rests, elegantly inscribed with the name "Walter Parks Thatcher". In a medium view, we see Bertha Anderson, a manly and elderly spinster sitting behind a desk, while Thompson, hat in hand, stands before her. Bertha is speaking on the phone. Upon hanging up, she directs her attention to Thompson.Bertha reminds Thompson of the conditions dictated by the directors of the Thatcher Library for inspecting certain sections of Mr. Thatcher's unpublished memoirs. She tells him not to use any direct quotations from the manuscript. Thompson tells her it's okay. Bertha leads the way towards an imposing door, without bothering to check if Thompson is following her. Thompson follows her with a small sigh.

Malcolm stood at the street corner, lost in thought. He signaled a cab. As he stepped off the sidewalk, steam rose from a street vent. Suddenly, headlights emerged from the mist. Malcolm barely avoided the car, which narrowly missed him. Startled, he jerked out of the way. His briefcase fell to the ground with a loud thud. His tape recorder also tumbled to the sidewalk. He picked it up swiftly."Cole," Malcolm said into the recorder. He paused, gathering his thoughts. "His pathology is more severe than initially assessed. He's suffering from visual hallucinations, paranoia—symptoms of some kind of school-age schizophrenia. Medication and hospitalization may be required."There was a slight, ominous click as Malcolm's hand dropped to his side, the recorder recording nothing but silence. "I'm not helping him," he whispered. Malcolm stared into the night, alone with his thoughts. Thunderous thoughts of what he was involved in crashed through his head relentlessly.
