London, 1601. A Conversation with Shakespeare
BURBAGE: Hey, Will, I've been looking over this "to be or not to be" stuff, and I think we have a problem.
SHAKESPEARE: Really? What?
BURBAGE: Well, you know lines 78-80?
SHAKESPEARE: You mean where I call death "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns"? What's wrong with that?
BURBAGE: You do realize we have a ghost in this play, right?
SHAKESPEARE: ...
BURBAGE: ...

i’d just like to take this brief time to remind everyone who asserts that the internet is full of leeches who pirate and steal hollywood’s “property” and don’t think that there needs to be a new business model for the way hollywood funds and markets film that a relatively small fandom of a relatively small show is about to raise 2 million dollars in 24 hours just because...
