My local movie theater is airing a series of recorded Shakespearean plays filmed at the Globe Theater in London on a once-a-month basis. Merry Wives of Windsor was first, I believe.
"I can't wait to see that." I told Moop.
He exchanged a glance with My Nephew and they both said, "Um, you'll probably need to go see that with your English Teacher Aunt."
Oh, damn. I forgot. No one gets blown up in Merry Wives of Windsor. And there's no Megan Fox.
So, I called the theater to get the dates and show times for subsequent plays. This is a verbatim transcript of that conversation. My comments are pink, because I love pink.
Thank you for calling The Movie Theater, this is Moron.
Hey Moron, I was calling to see if you could give me the dates for the Shakespearean plays you guys are showing once a month.
Oh, right. Plays. Um..... [lots of chewing in the phone, I assume it was gum] Right, here they are. It looks like the next one is on August 1 at 7:30pm.
Great. Which play is it?
Um, Henry. Part One.
Henry the Eighth?
Just Henry. Well, Henry and an eye and a vee, but I'm not sure what that is... It looks like Part Two is at the end of August and Henry and the vee-eye-eye-eye is playing in September.
Sweetie, those are Roman numerals.
Is that like a number?
You could say that, yes.
That's hilrious. Just read it to the hubby and he's laughing hysterically.
