SHELLS EXPLODE

0:00:440:00:47

What bloody man is that? He can report, as seemeth by his plight, of the revolt, the newest state.

0:00:510:00:57

This is the sergeant who like a good and hardy soldier fought 'gainst my captivity.

0:00:590:01:03

Hail, brave friend!

0:01:030:01:04

Say to the king the knowledge of the broil as thou didst leave it.

0:01:040:01:08

Doubtful it stood.

0:01:080:01:10

as two spent swimmers, that do cling together and choke their art.

0:01:100:01:17

The merciless Macdonald, from the Western Isles, is supplied

0:01:170:01:22

and fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling showed like a rebel's whore.

0:01:220:01:29

But all's too weak

0:01:300:01:32

for brave Macbeth. Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel,

0:01:320:01:38

which smoked with bloody execution carved out his passage till he faced the slave which ne'er shook hands,

0:01:380:01:46

nor bade farewell to him, till he unseamed him from the nave to the chaps and fixed his

0:01:460:01:53

head upon our battlements.

0:01:530:01:55

Oh, valiant cousin!

0:01:550:01:57

worthy gentleman!

0:01:570:01:58

Mark, king of Scotland, Mark, no sooner justice had with valour armed, but the Norweyan lord

0:02:000:02:08

surveying vantage with furbished arms and new supplies of men began a fresh assault.

0:02:080:02:15

Dismayed not this our captains, Macbeth and Banquo?

0:02:150:02:18

Yes as sparrows, eagles, or the hare, the lion.

0:02:180:02:23

If I say sooth, I must report they were as cannons overcharged with

0:02:230:02:28

double cracks, whether they meant to bathe in reeking wounds

0:02:280:02:33

or memorise another Golgotha, I cannot tell.

0:02:330:02:39

But I

0:02:420:02:43

am faint, my gashes cry for help.

0:02:430:02:46

So well thy words become thee as thy wounds.

0:02:460:02:48

They smack of honour both.

0:02:480:02:51

EXPLOSION

0:02:510:02:53

Go get him surgeons.

0:03:310:03:34

-When shall we three meet again?

0:03:410:03:44

In thunder, lightning or in rain?

0:03:440:03:48

When the hurly-burly is done.

0:03:480:03:51

When the battle is lost and won.

0:03:510:03:54

That will be the set of sun.

0:03:540:03:57

-Where the place?

-Upon the Heath.

0:03:570:04:00

-There to meet with...

-ALL: Macbeth.

0:04:010:04:04

SQUELCHING

0:04:060:04:09

Fair is foul.

0:04:110:04:13

And foul is fair.

0:04:130:04:15

Hover through the fog and filthy air.

0:04:150:04:19

ALL: Fair is foul and foul is fair, hover through the fog

0:04:210:04:27

and the filthy air.

0:04:270:04:29

-Who comes here?

-The worthy thane of Ross.

0:04:410:04:43

-What a haste looks through his eyes!

-God save the king!

-Whence camest thou, worthy thane?

0:04:430:04:47

From Fife, great king, where the Norweyan banners flout the sky and fan our people cold.

0:04:470:04:53

Norway himself, with terrible numbers, assisted by

0:04:530:04:57

that most disloyal traitor, the Thane of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict till that the dauntless Macbeth

0:04:570:05:04

confronted him with self-comparisons, point against point, rebellious arm against arm. And to conclude...

0:05:040:05:10

..the victory fell on us.

0:05:120:05:15

YES! YES!

0:05:150:05:18

Great happiness!

0:05:190:05:20

No more that Thane of Cawdor shall deceive our bosom interest.

0:05:200:05:26

Go pronounce his present death

0:05:260:05:30

-and with his former title greet Macbeth.

-I'll see it done.

0:05:300:05:35

What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won.

0:05:370:05:41

ALL: I'd rather, I'd rather Macbeth just come.

0:06:130:06:15

The weird sisters, hand in hand, posters over sea and land.

0:06:200:06:25

Thus do go about, about thrice to thine and thrice to mine

0:06:270:06:32

and thrice again to make up nine.

0:06:320:06:34

Peace! The charm's wound up.

0:06:360:06:39

So foul and fair a day I have not seen.

0:06:510:06:54

RIFLES COCKED

0:07:210:07:22

What are these

0:07:230:07:26

that look not like the inhabitants of the earth and yet are on it?

0:07:260:07:30

Live you?

0:07:330:07:35

Or are you aught that man may question?

0:07:350:07:38

You seem to understand me,

0:07:390:07:41

by each at once her chappy finger laying upon her skinny lips.

0:07:410:07:46

You should be women

0:07:460:07:50

and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.

0:07:500:07:55

Speak, if you can, what are you?

0:07:550:07:59

All hail, Macbeth!

0:07:590:08:02

Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!

0:08:020:08:07

All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!

0:08:070:08:13

All hail, Macbeth,

0:08:130:08:15

thou shalt be king hereafter!

0:08:150:08:19

Good sir, why do you start

0:08:190:08:23

and seem to fear things that do sound so fair?

0:08:230:08:26

In the name of truth, are ye fantastical, or that indeed which outwardly ye show?

0:08:280:08:33

My noble partner You greet with present grace and great prediction

0:08:330:08:38

of noble having and of royal hope, that he seems rapt with all.

0:08:380:08:44

To me you speak not.

0:08:440:08:47

If you can look into the seeds of time

0:08:470:08:50

and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me.

0:08:500:08:54

-Hail!

-Hail!

-Hail!

0:08:540:08:57

Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.

0:08:570:09:01

Not so happy,

0:09:010:09:03

yet much happier.

0:09:030:09:05

Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none,

0:09:050:09:09

so all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!

0:09:090:09:14

Banquo and Macbeth,

0:09:140:09:16

all hail.

0:09:160:09:19

Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more.

0:09:190:09:22

By my father's death I know I am Thane of Glamis, but how of Cawdor?

0:09:220:09:27

The Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman, and to be king...

0:09:270:09:32

..stands not within the prospect of belief, no more than to be Cawdor.

0:09:340:09:37

Say...

0:09:390:09:40

..from whence you owe this strange intelligence?

0:09:410:09:46

Or why you stop our way with such prophetic greeting?

0:09:460:09:50

METAL DOOR CLANGS

0:09:560:09:58

Speak, I charge you.

0:09:580:09:59

METAL DOOR CLANGS

0:09:590:10:01

The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, and these are of them.

0:10:060:10:11

Whither are they vanished?

0:10:110:10:14

Into the air

0:10:140:10:16

And what seemed corporal melted as breath into the wind.

0:10:160:10:22

Would they had stayed!

0:10:220:10:24

Were such things here as we do speak about?

0:10:300:10:31

Or have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner?

0:10:310:10:35

Your children shall be kings.

0:10:350:10:38

-You shall be king.

-And thane of Cawdor too, went it not so?

0:10:380:10:41

To the selfsame tune and words.

0:10:410:10:43

Who's here?

0:10:430:10:45

The king hath happily received, Macbeth, the news of thy success,

0:10:450:10:51

We are sent to give thee from our royal master thanks, only to herald thee into his sight, not pay thee.

0:10:510:10:57

And, for an earnest of a greater honour,

0:10:570:11:00

he bade me, from him, call thee Thane of Cawdor.

0:11:000:11:06

In which addition, hail, most worthy thane!

0:11:060:11:08

For it is thine.

0:11:080:11:11

What, can the devil speak true?

0:11:110:11:13

The Thane of Cawdor lives.

0:11:130:11:15

Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?

0:11:150:11:18

Who was the thane lives yet,

0:11:180:11:21

but under heavy judgment bears that life which he deserves to lose.

0:11:210:11:23

Treasons capital, confessed and proved, have overthrown him.

0:11:230:11:29

Glamis, and Thane of Cawdor!

0:11:330:11:37

The greatest is behind.

0:11:370:11:40

Do you not hope your children shall be kings, when those that gave the

0:11:400:11:44

Thane of Cawdor to me promised no less to them?

0:11:440:11:47

That trusted home might yet enkindle you unto the crown, besides the Thane of Cawdor.

0:11:470:11:53

But 'tis strange.

0:11:530:11:55

And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,

0:11:550:11:57

the instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles,

0:11:570:12:03

to betray us in deepest consequence.

0:12:030:12:06

Cousins, a word, I pray you.

0:12:060:12:08

Two truths are told, as happy prologues to the swelling act

0:12:080:12:14

of the imperial theme....

0:12:140:12:16

This supernatural soliciting cannot be ill.

0:12:190:12:23

Cannot be good.

0:12:250:12:27

If ill, why hath it given me earnest of success, commencing in a truth?

0:12:270:12:34

I am

0:12:340:12:35

Thane of Cawdor.

0:12:350:12:37

If good,

0:12:390:12:42

why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image makes

0:12:420:12:46

my seated heart knock at my ribs against the use of nature?

0:12:460:12:51

Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.

0:12:510:12:55

My thought, whose...

0:12:560:12:59

..murder

0:13:010:13:02

yet is but fantastical,

0:13:020:13:05

shakes so my single state of man that function is smothered in surmise,

0:13:050:13:11

and nothing is but what is not.

0:13:110:13:13

If chance will have me king, why,

0:13:160:13:19

chance may crown me, without my stir.

0:13:190:13:23

Come what come may,

0:13:230:13:26

time and the hour run through the roughest day.

0:13:260:13:32

Worthy Macbeth, we stay upon your leisure.

0:13:320:13:33

I ask your favour.

0:13:330:13:35

My dull brain was wrought with things forgotten.

0:13:350:13:40

Let us toward the king.

0:13:400:13:42

Think upon what hath chanced, and, in good time, the interim having

0:13:450:13:49

-weighed it, let us speak our free hearts each to other.

-Very gladly.

0:13:490:13:54

Till then, enough. Come, friends.

0:13:540:14:01

GUNSHOT

0:14:100:14:12

Is execution done on Cawdor?

0:14:250:14:27

Are not those in commission yet returned?

0:14:280:14:31

My liege, they are not yet come back.

0:14:310:14:32

But I have spoke with one that saw him die...

0:14:340:14:36

..who did report that, very frankly, he confessed his treasons,

0:14:380:14:41

implored your highness' pardon and set forth

0:14:410:14:45

a deep repentance.

0:14:450:14:46

Nothing in his life

0:14:500:14:52

became him like the leaving it.

0:14:520:14:55

He died

0:14:570:14:59

as one that had been studied in his death.

0:14:590:15:01

To throw away the dearest thing he owed, as 'twere a careless trifle.

0:15:030:15:07

There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face.

0:15:070:15:11

He was a gentleman on whom I built an absolute trust.

0:15:110:15:16

O worthiest cousin!

0:15:260:15:28

The sin of my ingratitude even now was heavy on me.

0:15:280:15:33

Would thou hadst less deserved, that the proportion both of thanks and payment might have been mine!

0:15:330:15:39

Only I have left to say, more is thy due than more than all can pay.

0:15:390:15:45

The service and the loyalty I owe in doing it pays itself.

0:15:450:15:50

Your highness' part is to receive our duties, and our duties are to your throne and state, children

0:15:500:15:56

and servants, which do but what they should, by doing everything safe toward your love and honour.

0:15:560:16:03

Welcome hither.

0:16:030:16:05

I have begun to plant thee, and will labour to make thee full of growing.

0:16:050:16:12

Noble Banquo, that hast no less deserved, nor must be known no less to have done so.

0:16:120:16:19

Let me enfold thee and hold thee to my heart.

0:16:190:16:23

There if I grow, the harvest is your own.

0:16:230:16:26

My plenteous joys, wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves in drops of sorrow.

0:16:280:16:35

Sons, kinsmen,

0:16:370:16:39

thanes, and you whose places are the nearest, know

0:16:390:16:45

we will establish our estate upon

0:16:450:16:49

our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter the Prince of Cumberland,

0:16:510:16:59

which honour must not unaccompanied invest him only,

0:16:590:17:04

but signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine on all deservers.

0:17:040:17:10

From hence to Glamis, and bind us further to you.

0:17:100:17:15

I'll be myself the harbinger and make joyful the hearing of my wife with your approach.

0:17:150:17:23

-Humbly take my leave.

-My worthy Cawdor!

0:17:230:17:25

The Prince of Cumberland!

0:17:330:17:35

That is a step on which I must fall down,

0:17:350:17:39

or else o'erleap, for in

0:17:410:17:43

my way it lies.

0:17:430:17:46

Stars, hide your fires

0:17:470:17:51

Let not light see my black and deep desires

0:17:510:17:56

"They met me in the day of success,

0:18:040:18:06

"and I have learned by the perfectest report, they have more in them than mortal knowledge.

0:18:060:18:13

"When I burned in desire to question them further,

0:18:130:18:16

"they made themselves air, into which they vanished.

0:18:160:18:20

"Whilst I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came missives from the king, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor,

0:18:200:18:27

"by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referred me

0:18:270:18:31

"to the coming on of time, with, 'Hail, king that shalt be!'

0:18:310:18:35

"This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness,

0:18:370:18:41

"that thou mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee.

0:18:410:18:46

"Lay it to thy heart, and farewell."

0:18:460:18:48

Glamis thou art,

0:18:510:18:53

and Cawdor.

0:18:550:18:58

And shalt be what thou art promised.

0:19:070:19:09

Yet do I fear thy nature.

0:19:120:19:15

It is too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way.

0:19:160:19:21

Thou wouldst be great,

0:19:210:19:24

art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.

0:19:240:19:28

Hie thee hither...

0:19:330:19:36

..that I may pour my spirits in thine ear

0:19:370:19:41

and chastise with the valour of my tongue

0:19:410:19:45

all that impedes thee from the golden round,

0:19:450:19:50

which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crowned withal.

0:19:500:19:54

What is your tidings?

0:19:550:19:58

The king comes here tonight.

0:19:580:20:02

Thou art mad to say it.

0:20:040:20:06

Is not thy master with him? Who, were't so, would have informed for preparation.

0:20:060:20:09

So please you, it is true. Our thane is coming.

0:20:090:20:13

Give him tending.

0:20:130:20:15

He brings great news.

0:20:170:20:19

RAVEN SCREECHES

0:20:190:20:23

The raven himself is hoarse,

0:20:230:20:25

but croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements.

0:20:250:20:31

Come...

0:20:440:20:46

..you spirits...that tend on mortal thoughts.

0:20:470:20:53

Unsex me here...

0:20:560:20:58

..and fill me

0:20:590:21:01

from the crown to the toe top-full of

0:21:010:21:05

direst cruelty!

0:21:050:21:07

Make thick my blood.

0:21:100:21:12

Stop up the access and passage to remorse,

0:21:130:21:16

that no compunctious visitings of nature shake my fell purpose...

0:21:160:21:20

..nor keep peace between the effect and it!

0:21:220:21:26

Come to my woman's breasts,

0:21:290:21:31

and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers.

0:21:310:21:37

Wherever in your sightless substances you wait on nature's mischief!

0:21:370:21:41

Come, thick night,

0:21:420:21:46

and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,

0:21:460:21:50

that my keen knife see not the wound it makes, nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, to cry,

0:21:500:21:56

"Hold! Hold!"

0:21:560:21:59

Great Glamis!

0:22:150:22:16

Worthy Cawdor!

0:22:190:22:22

Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter!

0:22:340:22:37

Thy letters have transported me beyond this ignorant present, and I feel now the future in the instant.

0:22:370:22:42

My dearest love...

0:22:420:22:44

..Duncan comes here tonight.

0:22:470:22:51

And when goes hence?

0:22:510:22:54

Tomorrow, as he purposes.

0:22:540:22:56

O, never shall sun that morrow see!

0:22:570:23:00

Your face, my thane, is as a book

0:23:020:23:04

where men may read strange matters.

0:23:040:23:08

To beguile the time, look like the time, bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.

0:23:080:23:14

Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't.

0:23:140:23:19

He that's coming must be provided for, and you shall put this night's great business into my dispatch,

0:23:190:23:25

which shall to all our nights and days to come give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.

0:23:250:23:31

We will speak further.

0:23:330:23:36

Only look up clear,

0:23:380:23:40

to alter favour ever is to fear.

0:23:400:23:44

Leave all the rest to me.

0:23:480:23:51

This castle hath a pleasant seat, the air

0:24:090:24:12

nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle senses.

0:24:120:24:17

See, see, our honoured hostess!

0:24:170:24:20

The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.

0:24:210:24:27

Herein I teach you how you shall bid God yield us for your pains, and thank us for your trouble.

0:24:270:24:33

All our service in every point twice done and then done double were poor and single business to contend

0:24:330:24:40

against those honours deep and broad wherewith your majesty loads our house.

0:24:400:24:48

Where's the Thane of Cawdor?

0:24:500:24:53

We coursed him at the heels, but he rides well, and his

0:24:530:24:57

great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him to his home before us.

0:24:570:25:02

Conduct me to mine host, we love him highly,

0:25:020:25:06

and shall continue our graces towards him.

0:25:060:25:09

By your leave, hostess.

0:25:120:25:13

LAUGHTER

0:25:180:25:20

MEAT SIZZLES

0:25:330:25:35

If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.

0:26:070:26:11

If the assassination could

0:26:120:26:15

trammel up the consequence,

0:26:150:26:18

and catch with her surcease

0:26:180:26:20

success,

0:26:200:26:23

that but this blow might be the be-all and the end-all here,

0:26:230:26:30

but here, upon this bank and shoal of time,

0:26:300:26:35

we'd jump the life to come.

0:26:350:26:37

CORK POPS

0:26:380:26:40

But in these cases,

0:26:440:26:46

we still have judgment here.

0:26:460:26:48

That we but teach bloody instruction, which, being taught, returns to plague the inventor.

0:26:500:26:57

This even-handed justice commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips.

0:26:590:27:05

He's here in double trust. First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,

0:27:080:27:15

strong both against the deed.

0:27:150:27:19

Then, as his host,

0:27:190:27:21

who should against his murderer shut the door, not...

0:27:210:27:25

..bear the knife myself.

0:27:270:27:29

Besides, this Duncan has borne his faculties so meek,

0:27:320:27:39

has been so clear in his great office,

0:27:390:27:41

that his virtues will plead like angels,

0:27:410:27:45

trumpet-tongued, against the...

0:27:450:27:50

deep damnation of his taking-off.

0:27:500:27:54

And pity,

0:27:540:27:57

like a naked new-born babe, striding the blast,

0:27:570:28:03

or heaven's cherubim, horsed upon the sightless

0:28:030:28:07

couriers of the air, shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,

0:28:070:28:12

that tears shall drown the wind.

0:28:120:28:14

I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent,

0:28:170:28:20

but only vaulting ambition,

0:28:200:28:25

which o'erleaps itself and falls on the other.

0:28:250:28:29

-How now! What news?

-He has almost supp'd.

0:28:290:28:31

Why have you left the chamber?

0:28:310:28:34

Hath he ask'd for me?

0:28:340:28:37

Know you not he has?

0:28:380:28:40

We will proceed no further in this business.

0:28:450:28:48

He hath honour'd me of late, and I have bought golden opinions from

0:28:480:28:54

all sorts of people, which would be worn now in their newest gloss,

0:28:540:28:59

not cast aside so soon.

0:28:590:29:01

Was the hope drunk wherein you dress'd yourself?

0:29:010:29:06

Hath it slept since?

0:29:060:29:09

And wakes it now, to look so green and pale at what it did so freely?

0:29:090:29:14

From this time such I account thy love.

0:29:150:29:19

Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour

0:29:190:29:21

as thou art in desire?

0:29:210:29:23

Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,

0:29:230:29:26

and live a coward in thine own esteem, letting "I dare not"

0:29:260:29:29

-wait upon "I would", like the poor cat in the adage?

-Prithee, peace!

0:29:290:29:32

I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares do more is none.

0:29:320:29:37

What beast was't, then, that made you break this enterprise to me?

0:29:370:29:40

When you durst do it, then you were a man.

0:29:400:29:44

And, to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man.

0:29:460:29:49

Nor time nor place did then adhere, and yet you would make both.

0:29:510:29:56

They have made themselves, and that their fitness now does unmake you.

0:29:560:30:01

I have given suck,

0:30:130:30:15

and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me.

0:30:150:30:21

I would, while it was smiling in my face,

0:30:210:30:27

have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,

0:30:270:30:32

and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to his.

0:30:320:30:36

-If we should fail?

-We fail!

0:30:380:30:41

But screw your courage to the sticking-place,

0:30:460:30:51

and we'll not fail.

0:30:510:30:54

When Duncan is asleep, his two chamberlains will I with wine

0:30:550:31:01

and wassail so convince that memory, the warder of the brain,

0:31:010:31:04

shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason a limbeck only.

0:31:040:31:09

When in swinish sleep

0:31:090:31:13

their drenched natures lie as in a death...

0:31:130:31:16

what cannot you and I perform upon the unguarded Duncan?

0:31:180:31:22

What not put upon his spongy officers,

0:31:220:31:25

who shall bear the guilt of our great quell?

0:31:250:31:28

Bring forth men-children only,

0:31:280:31:31

for thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males.

0:31:310:31:36

Will it not be received,

0:31:380:31:40

when we have mark'd with blood those sleepy two of his own chamber

0:31:400:31:44

and used their very daggers, that they have done't?

0:31:440:31:49

Who dares receive it other,

0:31:490:31:52

as we shall make our griefs and clamour roar upon his death?

0:31:520:31:56

I am settled,

0:32:000:32:02

and bend up

0:32:020:32:04

each corporal agent to this terrible feat.

0:32:040:32:09

Away, and mock the time with fairest show.

0:32:090:32:13

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

0:32:140:32:19

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:33:000:33:04

How goes the night, boy?

0:33:040:33:06

The moon is down. I have not heard the clock.

0:33:070:33:10

And she goes down at 12.

0:33:100:33:12

I take't, 'tis later, sir.

0:33:120:33:14

Hold...

0:33:140:33:15

..take my sword.

0:33:180:33:19

There's husbandry in heaven. Their candles are all out.

0:33:210:33:25

Take thee that too.

0:33:290:33:30

A heavy summons lies like lead upon me, and yet I would not sleep.

0:33:320:33:36

Merciful powers, restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature

0:33:360:33:41

gives way to in repose!

0:33:410:33:43

DOOR OPENS

0:33:430:33:44

Give me my sword. Who's there?

0:33:440:33:46

A friend.

0:33:480:33:49

What, sir, not yet at rest?

0:33:490:33:51

The king's a-bed. He hath been in unusual pleasure,

0:33:510:33:56

and this diamond he greets your wife withal, by the name of

0:33:560:34:00

most kind hostess, and shut up in measureless content.

0:34:000:34:04

Being unprepared, our will became the servant to defect,

0:34:040:34:08

-which else should free have wrought.

-All's well.

0:34:080:34:11

I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters.

0:34:170:34:20

To you they have show'd some truth.

0:34:210:34:24

I think not of them.

0:34:260:34:27

Yet, when we can entreat an hour to serve,

0:34:270:34:33

I would spend it in some words upon that business.

0:34:330:34:36

At your kind'st leisure.

0:34:360:34:38

If you shall cleave to my intent, when 'tis,

0:34:420:34:46

it shall make honour for you.

0:34:460:34:49

So I lose none in seeking to augment it, but still keep my bosom

0:34:520:34:57

franchised and allegiance clear, I shall be counsell'd.

0:34:570:35:01

Good. Repose the while!

0:35:020:35:06

Thanks, sir. The like to you!

0:35:060:35:11

Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,

0:35:150:35:21

she strike upon the bell. Then get thee to bed.

0:35:210:35:25

Is this a dagger which I see before me,

0:35:450:35:49

the handle toward my hand?

0:35:490:35:53

Come, let me clutch thee.

0:35:550:35:59

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

0:36:050:36:10

Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight?

0:36:120:36:18

Or art thou but a dagger of the mind,

0:36:200:36:25

a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?

0:36:250:36:31

I see thee yet.

0:36:330:36:34

Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going,

0:36:360:36:39

and such an...instrument I was to use.

0:36:390:36:45

Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,

0:36:500:36:53

or worth all the rest.

0:36:530:36:57

I see thee still,

0:36:590:37:02

and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,

0:37:020:37:09

which was not so before.

0:37:090:37:12

There's no such thing.

0:37:200:37:23

It is the bloody business which informs thus to mine eyes.

0:37:230:37:29

Now o'er the one halfworld

0:37:290:37:34

nature seems dead,

0:37:340:37:37

and wicked dreams abuse the curtain'd sleep.

0:37:370:37:42

Now witchcraft celebrates pale Hecate's offerings,

0:37:420:37:49

and wither'd murder, alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,

0:37:490:37:55

whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.

0:37:550:38:02

With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design

0:38:030:38:08

moves like a ghost.

0:38:080:38:11

Thou sure and firm-set earth,

0:38:120:38:16

hear not my steps, which way they walk,

0:38:160:38:19

for fear thy very stones prate of my whereabouts,

0:38:190:38:23

and take the present...horror from the time,

0:38:230:38:29

which now suits with it.

0:38:290:38:32

Whiles I threat, he lives.

0:38:350:38:38

Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.

0:38:380:38:43

BELL TINKLES

0:38:430:38:45

I go, and it is done.

0:38:470:38:50

The bell invites me.

0:38:510:38:53

Hear it not, Duncan,

0:38:550:38:57

for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven...

0:38:570:39:01

..or to hell.

0:39:080:39:10

That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold.

0:39:150:39:19

What hath quench'd them hath given me fire.

0:39:190:39:24

Hark!

0:39:240:39:25

Peace!

0:39:270:39:28

It was the owl that shriek'd.

0:39:310:39:33

He is about it.

0:39:370:39:40

The doors are open, and the surfeited grooms do mock

0:39:420:39:47

their charge with snores.

0:39:470:39:50

I have drugg'd their possets,

0:39:500:39:53

that death and nature do contend about them,

0:39:530:39:57

whether they live or die.

0:39:570:40:00

Who's there? What, ho!

0:40:000:40:01

Alack, I am afraid they have awaked, and 'tis not done.

0:40:010:40:05

The attempt and not the deed confounds us.

0:40:050:40:08

I laid their daggers ready. He could not miss 'em.

0:40:080:40:11

Had he not resembled my father as he slept...

0:40:140:40:18

..I had done't.

0:40:210:40:22

DOOR OPENS

0:40:220:40:24

My husband?

0:40:390:40:41

I have done the deed.

0:40:430:40:44

Didst thou not hear a noise?

0:40:440:40:47

I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry. Did not you speak?

0:40:470:40:50

-When?

-Now.

0:40:500:40:51

As I descended? HOARSE SCREAM

0:40:510:40:54

Who lies i' the second chamber?

0:40:550:40:58

Donalbain.

0:40:580:40:59

This is a sorry sight.

0:40:590:41:01

A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight.

0:41:010:41:04

There's one did laugh in his sleep, and one cried, "Murder!"

0:41:040:41:07

that they did wake each other. I stood and heard them,

0:41:070:41:11

but they did say their prayers, and address'd them again to sleep.

0:41:110:41:14

-There are two lodged together.

-One cried, "God bless us!"

0:41:140:41:18

and, "Amen," the other, as they had seen me with these hangman's hands.

0:41:180:41:24

Listening their fear, I could not say "amen"

0:41:240:41:31

when they did say, "God bless us!"

0:41:310:41:33

Consider it not so deeply.

0:41:330:41:34

But wherefore could not I pronounce "amen"?

0:41:340:41:38

I had most need of blessing, and "amen" stuck in my throat.

0:41:380:41:42

These deeds must not be thought after these ways so, it will make us mad.

0:41:420:41:46

Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!

0:41:470:41:52

"Macbeth does murder sleep,"

0:41:520:41:53

the innocent sleep, sleep that knits up

0:41:530:42:00

the ravell'd sleeve of care, the death of each day's life,

0:42:000:42:05

sore labour's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course.

0:42:050:42:10

What do you mean?

0:42:100:42:12

Still it cries "Sleep no more!" to all the house.

0:42:120:42:16

"Glamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor

0:42:170:42:20

"Shall sleep no more. Macbeth shall sleep no more."

0:42:200:42:24

Who was it that thus cried?

0:42:240:42:25

Why, worthy thane, you do unbend your noble strength,

0:42:250:42:29

to think so brainsickly of things. Go get some water,

0:42:290:42:32

and wash this filthy witness from your hand.

0:42:320:42:35

Why did you bring these daggers from the place?

0:42:360:42:38

They must lie there!

0:42:400:42:41

Go!

0:42:410:42:43

Carry them.

0:42:430:42:45

And smear the sleepy grooms with blood.

0:42:460:42:49

I'll go no more.

0:42:500:42:52

I am afraid to think what I have done.

0:42:530:42:56

Look on't again I dare not.

0:42:560:42:58

Infirm of purpose!

0:42:580:43:01

Give me the daggers.

0:43:040:43:06

The sleeping and the dead are but as pictures.

0:43:090:43:12

'Tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil.

0:43:140:43:17

If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal,

0:43:210:43:25

for it must seem their guilt.

0:43:250:43:27

LOUD THUMPING

0:43:350:43:37

Whence is that knocking?

0:43:370:43:38

How is't with me, when every noise appals me?

0:43:400:43:43

What hands are here?

0:43:460:43:48

Oh...

0:43:520:43:53

They pluck out mine eyes.

0:43:550:43:57

Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?

0:44:000:44:06

No, this my hand will rather

0:44:090:44:14

the multitudinous seas incarnadine,

0:44:140:44:18

making the green one red.

0:44:180:44:20

My hands are of your colour...

0:44:360:44:38

..but I shame to wear a heart so white.

0:44:400:44:44

THUMPING

0:44:440:44:45

I hear knocking at the south entry.

0:44:450:44:47

Retire we to our chamber.

0:44:470:44:50

A little water clears us of this deed.

0:44:500:44:53

How easy is it, then!

0:44:530:44:56

Your constancy hath left you unattended.

0:44:560:44:59

THUMPING Hark! More knocking.

0:44:590:45:01

Get on your nightgown, lest occasion call us and show us to be watchers.

0:45:010:45:06

Be not lost so poorly in your thoughts.

0:45:060:45:10

To know my deed,

0:45:100:45:12

'twere best not know myself.

0:45:120:45:15

THUMPING

0:45:150:45:17

Wake Duncan with thy knocking!

0:45:180:45:20

I would thou couldst!

0:45:220:45:23

THUMPING

0:45:480:45:50

Oh, here's a knocking indeed!

0:45:500:45:56

If a man were porter of hell-gate,

0:45:570:46:00

he should get old

0:46:000:46:04

turning the key.

0:46:040:46:06

THUMPING

0:46:060:46:07

Knock, knock, knock! Who's there, in the name of Jesus?

0:46:070:46:13

HE LAUGHS

0:46:130:46:18

Beelzebub.

0:46:180:46:19

Here, a farmer, ooh-arr,

0:46:230:46:28

that hanged himself on the expectation of plenty.

0:46:280:46:33

Oh, come in time,

0:46:330:46:36

have napkins enough about you, here you'll sweat for it.

0:46:360:46:42

THUMPING

0:46:420:46:44

Knock, knock! Who's there, in the other devil's name?

0:46:440:46:49

Faith, here's an equivocator,

0:46:510:46:57

who committed treason enough for God's sake, yet could not

0:46:570:47:03

equivocate to heaven.

0:47:030:47:08

Oh, come in, equivocator.

0:47:080:47:11

THUMPING

0:47:110:47:13

Knock, knock, never at quiet!

0:47:130:47:18

BREATHY RUSH

0:47:180:47:19

What are you?

0:47:190:47:21

But this place is too cold for hell.

0:47:240:47:27

I'll devil-porter it no further.

0:47:270:47:30

I had thought to let in some of all professions

0:47:300:47:32

that go the primrose way to the everlasting bonfire.

0:47:320:47:37

THUMPING

0:47:370:47:38

Anon, anon!

0:47:380:47:41

I pray you,

0:47:440:47:47

remember the porter.

0:47:470:47:49

Was it so late, friend, ere you went to bed, that you do lie so late?

0:47:550:47:58

Faith, sir...

0:47:580:48:00

..we were carousing till the second cock

0:48:020:48:05

and drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things.

0:48:050:48:10

What three things does drink especially provoke?

0:48:100:48:12

Marry, sir, nose-painting,

0:48:120:48:15

sleep...

0:48:150:48:17

HE URINATES ..and urine.

0:48:190:48:21

Lechery, it provokes and unprovokes.

0:48:210:48:26

It provokes the desire, but takes away the performance.

0:48:260:48:32

Therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery.

0:48:320:48:38

It makes him and it mars him.

0:48:380:48:41

It sets him on, but it takes him off.

0:48:410:48:44

It persuades him and disheartens him,

0:48:440:48:48

makes him stand to and not stand to.

0:48:480:48:53

Equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.

0:48:540:49:01

Is thy master stirring?

0:49:010:49:03

Our knocking has awaked him, here he comes.

0:49:030:49:07

Good morrow, noble sir.

0:49:070:49:08

Good morrow, all.

0:49:100:49:13

Is the king stirring, worthy thane?

0:49:130:49:16

Not yet.

0:49:180:49:19

He did command me to call timely on him. I have almost slipped the hour.

0:49:190:49:23

I'll bring you to him.

0:49:230:49:26

I know this is a joyful trouble to you, but yet 'tis one.

0:49:260:49:30

The labour we delight in physics pain.

0:49:300:49:34

This is the door.

0:49:340:49:36

I'll make so bold to call, for 'tis my limited service.

0:49:360:49:39

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:49:440:49:47

-Goes the king hence today?

-Hmm?

0:49:490:49:51

He does.

0:49:510:49:53

He did appoint so.

0:49:530:49:55

The night has been unruly.

0:49:590:50:02

Where we lay, our chimneys were blown down

0:50:020:50:05

and, as they say, lamentings heard i' the air,

0:50:050:50:10

strange screams of death.

0:50:100:50:12

-Some say the earth was feverous and did shake.

-'Twas a rough night.

0:50:160:50:20

My young remembrance cannot parallel a fellow to it.

0:50:200:50:24

Oh.

0:50:240:50:25

Oh, horror, horror, horror!

0:50:270:50:30

-Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee!

-What's the matter?

0:50:320:50:37

Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!

0:50:370:50:40

Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope the Lord's

0:50:400:50:44

anointed temple, and stole thence the life of the building!

0:50:440:50:47

-What is it you say, the life?

-Mean you His Majesty?

0:50:470:50:50

Approach the chamber, and destroy your sight with a new Gorgon.

0:50:500:50:53

Do not bid me speak. See, and then speak yourself.

0:50:530:50:56

Awake, awake!

0:50:580:51:01

Ring the alarum-bell.

0:51:010:51:04

Murder and treason!

0:51:050:51:07

Banquo and Donalbain!

0:51:070:51:11

'Malcolm! Awake!'

0:51:110:51:14

Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,

0:51:140:51:17

'and look on death itself! Awake!'

0:51:170:51:20

Ring the bell!

0:51:210:51:22

What is the business, that such a hideous trumpet calls to parley

0:51:220:51:26

the sleepers of the house?

0:51:260:51:27

ALARM BUZZES

0:51:270:51:28

Speak, speak!

0:51:280:51:31

Oh, gentle lady, 'tis not for you to hear what I could speak.

0:51:310:51:33

The repetition in a woman's ear would murder as it fell.

0:51:330:51:37

Oh, Banquo, Banquo, our royal master's murdered!

0:51:370:51:41

Woe, alas. What, in our house?

0:51:410:51:45

Too cruel anywhere.

0:51:450:51:46

Dear Duff, I prithee, contradict thyself and say it is not so.

0:51:460:51:50

Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time

0:51:500:51:54

for, from this instant, there's nothing serious in mortality.

0:51:540:51:59

All is but toys.

0:51:590:52:01

Renown and grace is dead,

0:52:010:52:04

the wine of life is drawn.

0:52:040:52:06

-What is amiss?

-You are,

0:52:060:52:08

and do not know it.

0:52:080:52:11

The spring, the head, the fountain of your blood is stopped,

0:52:110:52:16

the very source of it is stopped.

0:52:160:52:19

Your royal father's murdered.

0:52:190:52:20

Oh...by whom?

0:52:200:52:24

Those of his chamber, as it seemed, had done it.

0:52:270:52:30

Their hands and faces were all badged with blood.

0:52:300:52:34

So were their daggers,

0:52:340:52:36

which unwiped we found upon their pillows.

0:52:360:52:38

They stared, and were distracted.

0:52:380:52:41

No man's life was to be trusted with them.

0:52:410:52:42

Oh, yet I do repent me of my fury that I did kill them.

0:52:420:52:48

Wherefore did you so?

0:52:490:52:52

Who can be wise, amazed,

0:52:580:53:01

temperate AND furious, loyal AND neutral,

0:53:010:53:05

in a moment? No man.

0:53:050:53:07

The expedition my violent love outran the pauser, reason.

0:53:070:53:12

Here lay Duncan,

0:53:120:53:14

his silver skin laced with his golden blood, and his gashed

0:53:140:53:20

stabs looked like a breach in nature for ruin's wasteful entrance.

0:53:200:53:25

There, the murderers, steeped in the colours

0:53:250:53:28

of their trade, their daggers unmannerly breech'd with gore.

0:53:280:53:33

Who could refrain, that had a heart to love,

0:53:330:53:35

and in that heart, courage to make his love known?

0:53:350:53:39

-Ah! Help me, hence!

-Look to the lady.

0:53:390:53:42

Why do we hold our tongues, that most may claim this argument

0:53:420:53:46

-for ours?

-What should be spoken here?

0:53:460:53:49

Let away, our tears are not yet brewed.

0:53:490:53:52

-Nor our strong sorrow upon the foot of motion.

-Look to the lady.

0:53:520:53:55

And when we have our naked frailties hid, that suffer in exposure, let us

0:53:560:54:01

meet and question this most bloody piece of work to know it further.

0:54:010:54:05

Fears and scruples shake us.

0:54:050:54:10

In the great hand of God I stand and thence,

0:54:100:54:13

against the undivulged pretence, I fight of treasonous malice.

0:54:130:54:18

-And so do I.

-MALCOLM AND DONALBAIN: So all.

0:54:180:54:21

Let's briefly put on manly readiness,

0:54:210:54:24

and meet in the hall together.

0:54:240:54:26

Well contented.

0:54:260:54:28

What will you do?

0:54:350:54:37

Let's not consort with them.

0:54:370:54:38

To show an unfelt sorrow is an office which the false man does easy.

0:54:380:54:43

-I'll to England.

-To Ireland, I.

0:54:430:54:46

Our separated fortune shall keep us both the safer.

0:54:460:54:49

Where we are, there's daggers in men's smiles.

0:54:490:54:52

The near in blood, the nearer bloody.

0:54:520:54:55

This murderous shaft that's shot hath not yet lighted, and our safest way is to avoid the aim.

0:54:550:54:59

Therefore to horse.

0:54:590:55:01

And let us not be dainty of leave-taking, but shift.

0:55:010:55:04

Away!

0:55:040:55:07

I have seen hours dreadful and things strange, but this sore night hath trifled former knowing.

0:55:180:55:26

Thou seest the heavens,

0:55:260:55:28

as troubled with man's act, threaten his bloody stage.

0:55:280:55:34

By the clock, 'tis day, and yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp.

0:55:340:55:40

Is it night's predominance or the day's shame that darkness

0:55:400:55:46

-does the face of earth entomb, when living light should kiss it?

-'Tis unnatural,

0:55:460:55:52

even like the deed that's done.

0:55:520:55:56

Ah, Macduff.

0:55:560:55:59

HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:55:590:56:01

How goes the world, sir, now?

0:56:010:56:03

-Why, see you not?

-Is it known who did this more than bloody deed?

0:56:030:56:08

Those that Macbeth hath slain.

0:56:080:56:11

Alas, the day! What good could they pretend?

0:56:110:56:14

They were suborn'd. Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons,

0:56:140:56:17

are stolen away and fled which puts upon them suspicion of the deed.

0:56:170:56:21

'Gainst nature still!

0:56:210:56:23

Thriftless ambition, that will ravin up thine own life's means!

0:56:230:56:28

Then 'tis most like the sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth.

0:56:280:56:32

He's already named, and gone to Scone to be invested.

0:56:320:56:34

-Where is Duncan's body?

-Carried to Colmekill.

-Will you to Scone?

0:56:340:56:37

No, Cousin, I'll home to Fife.

0:56:370:56:39

Well...I will thither.

0:56:390:56:43

Well, may you see things well done there.

0:56:430:56:46

Adieu. Lest our old robes sit easier than our new!

0:56:460:56:50

MARCHING FEET STOMP

0:56:590:57:02

Thou hast it now.

0:57:100:57:13

King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the weird women promised,

0:57:130:57:19

and I fear thou play'dst most foully for it.

0:57:190:57:23

Yet it was said it should not stand in thy posterity,

0:57:230:57:27

but that myself should be the root and father of many kings.

0:57:270:57:31

If there come truth from them,

0:57:330:57:36

as upon thee, Macbeth, their speeches shine.

0:57:360:57:40

Why, by the verities on thee made good,

0:57:400:57:43

may they not be my oracles as well and set me up in hope?

0:57:430:57:47

-CLICK!

-But hush!

0:57:470:57:51

ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

0:57:530:57:57

No more!

0:57:570:58:00

Here's our chief guest.

0:58:080:58:10

If he had been forgotten, it had been as a gap in our great feast, and all-thing unbecoming.

0:58:100:58:17

Tonight we hold a solemn supper, sir, and I'll request your presence.

0:58:170:58:22

Let your highness command upon me.

0:58:220:58:24

Ride you, this afternoon?

0:58:240:58:26

Ay, my good lord.

0:58:260:58:28

We should have else desired your good advice at this day's council...

0:58:280:58:32

..but we'll take tomorrow. Is't far you ride?

0:58:340:58:38

As far, my lord, as will fill up the time 'twixt this and supper.

0:58:380:58:41

Go not my horse the better, I must become a borrower of the night for a dark hour or twain.

0:58:410:58:47

Fail not our feast.

0:58:470:58:49

My lord, I will not.

0:58:490:58:51

We hear our bloody cousins are bestowed in England and in Ireland,

0:58:530:58:59

not confessing their cruel parricide,

0:58:590:59:03

filling their hearers with strange invention.

0:59:030:59:06

But of that...tomorrow.

0:59:080:59:12

Hie you to horse. Adieu...

0:59:120:59:14

..till you return at night.

0:59:150:59:18

-Goes Fleance with you?

-Ay, my good lord.

0:59:180:59:25

Our time does call upon us.

0:59:250:59:28

I wish your horses swift and sure of foot, and so I do commend you to their backs.

0:59:280:59:34

Farewell.

0:59:340:59:37

Let every man be master of his time till seven at night.

0:59:420:59:46

To make society the sweeter welcome,

0:59:460:59:50

we will keep ourself till suppertime...alone.

0:59:500:59:55

While then, God be with you!

0:59:591:00:03

Attend those men our pleasure?

1:00:091:00:11

They are, my lord, without the palace gate.

1:00:111:00:13

Bring them before us.

1:00:131:00:15

To be thus is nothing.

1:00:321:00:34

But to be...safely thus...

1:00:361:00:40

-Our fears in Banquo stick deep.

-SHOTGUN SNAPS SHUT

1:00:421:00:46

And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared.

1:00:481:00:54

'Tis much he dares.

1:00:541:00:56

And to that dauntless temper of his mind,

1:00:561:01:01

he hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour to act with safety.

1:01:011:01:06

There is none but he whose being I do fear.

1:01:061:01:11

And under him,

1:01:121:01:14

my genius is rebuked.

1:01:141:01:17

That he chid the sisters when first they put the name of king on me,

1:01:171:01:21

and bade them speak to him.

1:01:211:01:24

Then, prophet-like, they hailed him father to a line of kings.

1:01:241:01:32

Upon my head they put a fruitless crown.

1:01:331:01:37

No...son of mine succeeding.

1:01:371:01:43

If it be so,

1:01:451:01:48

for Banquo's issue have I...

1:01:481:01:51

filed my mind.

1:01:511:01:54

For them, the gracious Duncan have I murdered,

1:01:541:01:57

put rancours in the vessel of my peace only for them,

1:01:571:02:04

and given mine eternal jewel to the common enemy of man

1:02:041:02:08

to make them kings, the seed of Banquo kings!

1:02:081:02:13

Rather than so...

1:02:131:02:15

..come fate into the list

1:02:161:02:21

and champion me to the utterance!

1:02:211:02:25

Now go to the door and stay there till I call.

1:02:411:02:45

Was it not yesterday that we spoke together?

1:02:491:02:52

It was, so please your highness.

1:02:521:02:55

Well then...

1:02:571:02:58

..now...have you considered of my speeches?

1:03:021:03:05

Know that it was he in the times past

1:03:051:03:10

that held you so under fortune,

1:03:101:03:14

which you thought had been our innocent self.

1:03:141:03:19

This I made plain to you in our last conference,

1:03:191:03:22

passed in probation with you,

1:03:221:03:23

how you were borne in hand, how crossed the instruments,

1:03:231:03:29

who wrought with them, and all things else

1:03:291:03:35

which might, to half a soul

1:03:351:03:37

or to a notion crazed, say, "Thus did...Banquo."

1:03:371:03:45

You made it known to us.

1:03:461:03:47

I did so, and went further, which is now our point of second meeting.

1:03:471:03:53

Do you find your patience

1:03:531:03:56

so predominant in your nature that you can let this go?

1:03:561:04:02

Are you so gospelled as to pray for this good man

1:04:031:04:10

and for his issue,

1:04:101:04:12

whose heavy hand has weighed you to the grave and beggared yours forever?

1:04:121:04:18

We are men, my liege.

1:04:181:04:20

-HE LAUGHS

-Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men,

1:04:201:04:25

as hounds and greyhounds...

1:04:251:04:29

..mongrels, spaniels, curs, shoughs,

1:04:311:04:36

water-rugs,

1:04:361:04:39

demi-wolves are called all by the name of dogs.

1:04:391:04:44

The valued file distinguishes the swift, the slow...

1:04:461:04:51

..the subtle,

1:04:521:04:54

the housekeeper...

1:04:541:04:56

..the hunter.

1:04:591:05:02

So with men.

1:05:021:05:04

Now, if you have a station in the file,

1:05:041:05:08

not in the worst rank of manhood, say it.

1:05:081:05:13

And I will put that business in your bosoms, whose execution takes your enemy off,

1:05:131:05:19

grapples you to the heart and love of us, who wear our health but sickly in his life,

1:05:191:05:27

which in his death...

1:05:271:05:28

..were perfect.

1:05:301:05:33

I am one, my liege, whom the vile blows and buffets of the world

1:05:331:05:38

have so incensed that I am reckless what I do to spite the world.

1:05:381:05:42

And I another,

1:05:421:05:44

so weary with disasters, tugged with fortune,

1:05:441:05:48

that I would set my life on any chance to mend it or be rid on.

1:05:481:05:52

Both of you know that Banquo was your enemy.

1:05:521:05:56

True, my lord.

1:05:561:05:57

So is he mine.

1:05:571:06:00

And though I could, with barefaced power,

1:06:001:06:03

sweep him from my sight

1:06:031:06:07

and bid my will avouch it, yet I must not.

1:06:071:06:12

For certain friends that are both his and mine,

1:06:121:06:17

whose loves I must not drop,

1:06:171:06:20

but wail his fall...

1:06:201:06:23

-HE LAUGHS

-..who I myself struck down,

1:06:231:06:27

and thus it is, that I to your assistance do make love,

1:06:271:06:34

masking the business from the common eye

1:06:341:06:38

for sundry, weighty reasons.

1:06:381:06:40

-We shall, my lord, perform what you command us.

-Though our lives...

1:06:401:06:43

Your spirits shine through you!

1:06:431:06:45

Within the hour at most, I will advise you where to place yourselves.

1:06:451:06:49

The moment on't, for't must be done tonight.

1:06:491:06:52

And something from the palace.

1:06:541:06:56

Always think...

1:07:011:07:04

that I require...

1:07:041:07:07

a clearness.

1:07:071:07:11

And with him, to leave no rubs or botches in the work,

1:07:121:07:19

Fleance, his son that keeps him company,

1:07:191:07:23

whose absence is no less material to us than his father's,

1:07:231:07:28

must embrace the fate of that dark hour.

1:07:281:07:33

So, resolve yourselves apart.

1:07:351:07:39

I'll come to you anon.

1:07:391:07:41

-We are resolved.

-We are...

-I'll be with you straight!

1:07:411:07:45

Banquo, thy soul's flight,

1:07:481:07:51

if it find heaven,

1:07:511:07:54

must find it out tonight.

1:07:541:07:56

STEAM ENGINE WHISTLE BLOWS

1:07:561:07:58

CHEERING

1:08:071:08:09

Is Banquo gone from court?

1:08:141:08:17

Ay, madam,

1:08:171:08:19

but returns again tonight.

1:08:191:08:22

Say to the king, I would attend his leisure, for a few words.

1:08:221:08:27

Madam, I will.

1:08:271:08:29

Nought's had...

1:08:431:08:45

..all's spent...

1:08:461:08:48

..where our desire is got without content.

1:08:491:08:53

'Tis safer to be that which we destroy

1:08:551:08:57

than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy. FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

1:08:571:09:02

How now, my lord!

1:09:041:09:05

Why do you keep alone...

1:09:191:09:20

..of sorriest fancies your companions making,

1:09:221:09:26

using those thoughts which should indeed have died with them they think on?

1:09:261:09:30

Things without all remedy should be without regard. What's done is done.

1:09:301:09:33

We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it.

1:09:331:09:36

She'll close and be herself,

1:09:361:09:39

whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth.

1:09:391:09:44

But let the frame of things disjoint,

1:09:441:09:49

both the worlds suffer, ere we will eat our meal in fear

1:09:491:09:55

and sleep in the affliction of these terrible dreams

1:09:551:10:00

that shake us nightly.

1:10:001:10:02

Better be with the dead, whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,

1:10:021:10:07

than on the torture of the mind to lie in restless ecstasy.

1:10:071:10:14

Duncan is in his grave.

1:10:141:10:17

After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst.

1:10:171:10:23

Nor steel, nor poison,

1:10:231:10:25

malice domestic,

1:10:251:10:27

foreign levy, nothing can stir him further.

1:10:271:10:32

Come on!

1:10:321:10:35

Gentle, my lord,

1:10:351:10:38

sleek o'er your rugged looks. Be bright and jovial among your guests tonight.

1:10:381:10:43

So shall I, love.

1:10:431:10:46

And so...

1:10:481:10:49

# I pray

1:10:511:10:53

# Be you. #

1:10:531:10:58

Let your remembrance apply to Banquo.

1:10:581:11:01

Present him eminence, both with eye and tongue.

1:11:011:11:05

Unsafe the while, that we must bathe our honours in these flattering streams,

1:11:051:11:09

and make our faces vizards to our hearts, disguising what they are.

1:11:091:11:15

You must leave this!

1:11:151:11:18

O, full of scorpions is my mind,

1:11:181:11:22

dear wife!

1:11:221:11:24

Thou know'st that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives.

1:11:261:11:31

But in them nature's copy's not eterne.

1:11:311:11:35

There's comfort yet. They are assailable.

1:11:351:11:39

Then be thou jocund.

1:11:391:11:42

Ere the bat hath flown his cloister'd flight,

1:11:421:11:46

ere to black Hecate's summons the shard-borne beetle

1:11:461:11:50

with his drowsy hums hath rung night's yawning peal,

1:11:501:11:55

there will be done a deed of dreadful note.

1:11:551:11:58

-What's to be done?

-Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,

1:11:581:12:02

till thou applaud the deed.

1:12:021:12:04

Come, seeling night, scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,

1:12:041:12:11

and with thy bloody and invisible hand

1:12:111:12:13

cancel and tear to pieces that great bond which keeps me pale!

1:12:131:12:20

Light thickens,

1:12:251:12:31

and the crow makes wing to the rooky wood.

1:12:311:12:36

Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,

1:12:361:12:40

while night's black agents to their prey do rouse!

1:12:401:12:47

HE LAUGHS

1:12:471:12:49

Thou marvell'st at my words, but hold thee still.

1:12:491:12:54

Things bad begun

1:12:581:13:02

make strong themselves by ill.

1:13:021:13:06

So, prithee, go with me.

1:13:071:13:11

STEAM ENGINE WHISTLE BLOWS

1:13:191:13:20

But who did bid thee join with us?

1:13:261:13:28

-Macbeth.

-He needs not our mistrust.

1:13:291:13:32

Then...stand with us.

1:13:371:13:41

The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day, and near...

1:13:421:13:46

approaches the subject of our watch.

1:13:461:13:50

'Tis he.

1:14:351:14:37

Give us a light there.

1:14:441:14:46

A light, a light!

1:14:461:14:49

It will be rain tonight.

1:14:491:14:51

Let it come down.

1:14:531:14:54

-O, treachery!

-KNIFE CLICKS OPEN

1:14:581:15:01

Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!

1:15:011:15:05

-Thou mayst revenge.

-TRAIN WHEELS SQUEAL

1:15:051:15:08

-Who did strike out the light?

-Wast not the way?

-There's but one down. The son is fled.

1:15:131:15:17

We've lost best half of our affair.

1:15:171:15:20

GUNSHOTS

1:15:201:15:21

Well, let's away, and say how much is done.

1:15:251:15:30

DOGS BARK

1:16:491:16:52

GUNSHOTS

1:17:501:17:51

-You know your own degrees.

-THEY LAUGH

1:17:511:17:55

HE LAUGHS EXCITEDLY

1:17:581:18:00

Ah!

1:18:001:18:02

Sit down.

1:18:051:18:06

THEY LAUGH

1:18:061:18:10

At first and last, the hearty welcome.

1:18:101:18:13

Thanks to your majesty.

1:18:131:18:14

Ourself will mingle with society, and play the humble host.

1:18:141:18:20

Our hostess keeps her state, but in best time we will require her welcome.

1:18:221:18:29

Pronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends, for my heart speaks they are welcome.

1:18:291:18:33

See, they encounter thee with their hearts' thanks.

1:18:331:18:38

Both sides are even. Here, I'll sit in the midst.

1:18:401:18:44

LIGHTER SPARKS

1:18:441:18:46

-Be large in mirth.

-HE LAUGHS

1:18:581:19:01

There's blood on thy face.

1:19:071:19:09

'Tis Banquo's, then.

1:19:091:19:12

'Tis better thee without than he within.

1:19:121:19:17

Is he dispatched?

1:19:171:19:19

My lord, his throat is cut. That I did for him.

1:19:191:19:24

Thou art the best of the cut-throats.

1:19:241:19:27

But he were good that did the like for Fleance.

1:19:291:19:33

Most royal sir...

1:19:331:19:37

Fleance is 'scaped.

1:19:371:19:40

Then comes my fit again.

1:19:421:19:45

I had else been perfect,

1:19:451:19:47

whole as the marble, founded as the rock,

1:19:471:19:51

as broad and general as the casing air.

1:19:511:19:54

But now I'm cabin'd,

1:19:541:19:56

cribb'd, confined, bound in to saucy doubts and fears.

1:19:561:20:02

But Banquo's safe?

1:20:021:20:04

Ay, my good lord.

1:20:041:20:05

Safe in a ditch he bides, with 20 trenched gashes on his head.

1:20:051:20:10

Thanks for that.

1:20:101:20:12

There the grown serpent lies, the worm that's fled has nature

1:20:121:20:15

that in time will venom breed, no teeth for the present. Get thee gone.

1:20:151:20:20

We'll hear ourselves again tomorrow.

1:20:201:20:22

My royal lord,

1:20:221:20:24

you do not give the cheer.

1:20:241:20:26

Sweet remembrancer!

1:20:261:20:29

-Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!

-May it please your highness, sit.

1:20:291:20:36

Here had we now our country's honour roof'd, were the graced person of our Banquo present.

1:20:361:20:43

His absence, sir, lays blame upon his promise.

1:20:431:20:47

Would it please your highness to grace us with your royal company?

1:20:471:20:51

The table's full.

1:20:511:20:54

Here's a place reserved, sir.

1:20:541:20:55

-Where?

-My good lord, here.

1:20:551:20:59

GLASS SHATTERS

1:21:431:21:47

Which of you have done this? Thou canst not say I did it.

1:22:131:22:16

Never shake thy gory locks at me!

1:22:161:22:20

-Gentlemen, rise. His highness is not well.

-Sit, worthy friends.

1:22:201:22:24

My lord is often thus, and hath been from his youth.

1:22:241:22:29

Pray you, keep seat. The fit is momentary. Upon a thought he will again be well.

1:22:291:22:33

If much you note him, you will offend him and extend his passion. Feed, and regard him not.

1:22:331:22:39

-Are you a man?

-Aye, and a bold one, that dare look on that that might appal the devil.

1:22:391:22:44

O proper stuff! This is the very painting of your fear.

1:22:441:22:46

This is the air-drawn dagger which, you said, led you to Duncan.

1:22:461:22:49

O, these flaws and starts, impostors to true fear, would well become a woman's story

1:22:491:22:53

at a winter's fire. Authorised by her grandam.

1:22:531:22:55

Shame itself! Why do you make such faces?

1:22:551:22:58

When all's done, you look but on the air.

1:22:581:23:00

Prithee, see there!

1:23:001:23:03

Behold! Look! Lo!

1:23:031:23:06

How say you? Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too.

1:23:101:23:14

If charnel-houses and our graves must send those we bury back,

1:23:151:23:20

why then our monuments will be the maws of kites?

1:23:201:23:24

Are you quite unmann'd in folly?

1:23:271:23:31

If I stand here, I saw him.

1:23:311:23:33

-Fie, for shame!

-Blood hath been shed in the olden times,

1:23:331:23:37

aye, and since too,

1:23:371:23:38

murders have been perform'd too terrible for the ear.

1:23:381:23:43

The times have been, that, when the brains were out, the man would die, and there an end.

1:23:431:23:48

But now they rise again, with 20 mortal murders on their crowns.

1:23:481:23:54

And push us from our stools.

1:23:541:23:56

This is more strange than such a murder is.

1:23:561:23:58

My royal lord, your noble friends do lack you.

1:23:581:24:06

I do forget.

1:24:061:24:07

Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends,

1:24:091:24:14

I have a strange infirmity, which is nothing

1:24:141:24:19

to those that know me!

1:24:191:24:22

Now, love and health to all. Then I'll sit down. Give me some wine.

1:24:221:24:29

Fill full.

1:24:291:24:30

I drink

1:24:321:24:34

to the general joy of the whole table,

1:24:341:24:37

and to our dear friend

1:24:391:24:42

Banquo, whom we miss,

1:24:421:24:46

would he were here!

1:24:461:24:48

To all, and him, we thirst.

1:24:481:24:52

# And all to all.

1:24:521:24:53

# Our duties, and our pledge.

Avaunt! And quit my sight!

1:26:071:26:13

Let the earth hide thee!

1:26:131:26:16

Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold.

1:26:161:26:19

Thou hast no speculation in those eyes which thou dost glare with!

1:26:191:26:26

Think of this, good peers, but as a thing of custom. It is no other.

1:26:261:26:30

Only it spoils the pleasure of the time.

1:26:301:26:33

What man dare, I dare.

1:26:331:26:36

Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, the arm'd rhinoceros.

1:26:361:26:41

The Hyrcan tiger.

1:26:411:26:44

Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves will never tremble

1:26:441:26:51

Or be alive again.

1:26:511:26:58

And dare me to the desert with thy sword.

1:26:581:27:02

If trembling I inhabit then, protest me the baby of a girl.

1:27:021:27:07

Hence, horrible shadow!

1:27:071:27:14

Unreal mockery, hence!

1:27:141:27:19

Being gone, I'm a man again.

1:27:271:27:30

Pray you, sit still.

1:27:301:27:33

You have displaced the mirth,

1:27:331:27:37

broke the good meeting, with most admired disorder.

1:27:371:27:42

Can such things be,

1:27:451:27:49

and overcome us like a summer's cloud,

1:27:491:27:53

without our special wonder?

1:27:531:27:57

You make me strange

1:27:571:28:01

even to the disposition that I owe, when I do think YOU can behold such sights,

1:28:011:28:07

and keep the natural ruby of your cheeks, while mine is blanched with fear.

1:28:071:28:14

What sights, my lord?

1:28:141:28:16

I pray you, speak not. He grows worse and worse. Question enrages him.

1:28:161:28:20

At once, good night.

1:28:221:28:24

Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once.

1:28:241:28:28

Good night. And better health attend his majesty!

1:28:281:28:31

Yes.

1:28:311:28:33

It will have blood.

1:28:451:28:47

They say, blood will have blood.

1:28:471:28:52

Stones have been known to move

1:28:521:28:55

and trees to speak.

1:28:551:28:58

Augurs and understood relations have by magot-pies and choughs

1:28:581:29:05

and rooks

1:29:051:29:08

brought forth the secretest man of blood.

1:29:081:29:12

What's the night?

1:29:141:29:16

Almost at odds with morning,

1:29:171:29:20

which is which?

1:29:211:29:24

How say you,

1:29:241:29:26

Macduff denies his person at our great bidding?

1:29:261:29:32

Did you send to him, sir?

1:29:321:29:34

I hear it by the way but I will send.

1:29:341:29:36

There's not a one of them but in his house I keep a servant fee'd.

1:29:361:29:41

I will tomorrow,

1:29:451:29:48

and betimes I will, to the weird sisters.

1:29:481:29:50

More shall they speak. For now I am bent to know, by the worst means, the worst.

1:29:501:29:57

For mine own good, all causes shall give way.

1:29:571:30:01

I am in blood stepp'd in so far that,

1:30:031:30:08

should I wade no more,

1:30:081:30:11

returning were as tedious as go o'er.

1:30:111:30:14

Strange things I have in head, that will to hand.

1:30:161:30:20

Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd.

1:30:201:30:24

You lack the season of all natures.

1:30:241:30:28

SLEEP!

1:30:301:30:33

Come, we'll to sleep.

1:30:351:30:39

My strange and self-abuse is the initiate fear

1:30:411:30:47

that wants hard use.

1:30:471:30:50

We are yet but young in deed.

1:30:531:30:57

My former speeches have but hit your thoughts, which can interpret further.

1:31:091:31:13

Only, I say, things have been strangely borne.

1:31:131:31:16

Who cannot want the thought how monstrous it was for Malcolm and for Donalbain

1:31:161:31:21

to kill their gracious father? Damned fact!

1:31:211:31:25

How it did grieve Macbeth!

1:31:251:31:27

Did he not straight in pious rage the two delinquents

1:31:271:31:31

tear, that were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?

1:31:311:31:34

Was not that nobly done?

1:31:341:31:37

Ay, and wisely too. For 'twould have anger'd any heart alive to hear the men deny't.

1:31:371:31:42

And so I say, he has borne all things well.

1:31:421:31:45

And I do think, had he Duncan's sons under his key. As, an't please heaven, he shall not...

1:31:471:31:53

They should find what 'twere to kill a father, so should Fleance.

1:31:531:31:57

For from broad words and cos he fail'd his

1:32:001:32:02

presence at the tyrant's feast, I hear Macduff lives in disgrace.

1:32:021:32:06

Sir, can you tell where he bestows himself?

1:32:061:32:09

The son of Duncan,

1:32:121:32:14

from whom this tyrant holds the due of birth...

1:32:141:32:20

HE WEEPS

1:32:201:32:22

Lives in the English court.

1:32:271:32:29

Thither Macduff is gone!

1:32:321:32:34

Round about the cauldron go.

1:32:461:32:47

In the poison'd entrails throw.

1:32:471:32:49

Toad, that under cold stone.

1:32:491:32:50

Days and nights has 31.

1:32:501:32:51

Swelter'd venom sleeping got.

1:32:511:32:52

Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!

1:32:521:32:54

Double, double, toil and trouble.

1:32:541:32:58

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

1:32:581:33:04

Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake.

1:33:041:33:07

Eye of newt, and toe of frog.

1:33:071:33:08

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog.

1:33:081:33:10

Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting.

1:33:101:33:11

Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing.

1:33:111:33:12

For a charm of powerful trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

1:33:121:33:14

Double, double. Toil and trouble.

1:33:141:33:19

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

1:33:191:33:25

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf.

1:33:251:33:26

Witches' mummy, maw and gulf

1:33:261:33:28

Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark.

1:33:281:33:29

Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark.

1:33:291:33:30

Liver of blaspheming Jew.

1:33:301:33:31

Gall of goat, and slips of yew.

1:33:311:33:33

Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse.

1:33:331:33:34

Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips.

1:33:341:33:35

Finger of birth-strangled babe.

1:33:351:33:39

Ditch-deliver'd by a drab. Make the gruel thick and slab.

1:33:391:33:42

Add thereto a tiger's chaudron. For the ingredients of our cauldron.

1:33:421:33:45

Double, double, double, double, double, toil and trouble.

1:33:451:33:49

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

1:33:491:33:56

Cool it with a baboon's blood.

1:33:561:33:59

Then the charm is firm and good.

1:33:591:34:02

By the pricking of my thumbs.

1:34:021:34:05

Something wicked this way comes.

1:34:051:34:10

Open locks. Whoever knocks!

1:34:101:34:14

How now,

1:34:221:34:24

you secret, black, and midnight hags!

1:34:241:34:31

What is't you do?

1:34:381:34:40

A deed without a name.

1:34:401:34:43

I conjure you, by that which you profess,

1:34:431:34:48

Howe'er you come to know it, answer me.

1:34:481:34:51

Though you untie the winds and let them fight against the churches.

1:34:511:34:56

Though the yesty waves confound and swallow navigation up.

1:34:561:35:01

Though palaces and pyramids stoop their heads to their foundations, answer me to what I ask.

1:35:011:35:08

Speak.

1:35:081:35:10

-Demand.

-We'll answer.

1:35:101:35:13

Say, if thou'dst rather hear it from our mouths, or from our MASTERS?

1:35:131:35:18

Call 'em,

1:35:211:35:24

let me see 'em.

1:35:241:35:26

Pour in sow's blood, that hath eaten her nine farrow.

1:35:261:35:33

Grease that's sweaten from the murderer's gibbet, throw into the brain.

1:35:331:35:38

Come, high or low.

1:35:381:35:40

Thyself and office deftly show!

1:35:401:35:43

Tell me, thou unknown power...

1:35:451:35:47

He knows thy thought.

1:35:471:35:50

Hear his speech, but say thou nought.

1:35:501:35:52

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!

1:35:521:35:57

Beware Macduff. Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough!

1:35:571:36:05

Whate'er thou art, for this good counsel, thanks. Thou hast harp'd my fear aright but one word more...

1:36:081:36:13

He will not be commanded.

1:36:131:36:16

Here's another, more potent than the first.

1:36:161:36:19

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!

1:36:191:36:23

Had I three ears, I'd hear thee.

1:36:231:36:26

Be bloody, bold, and resolute, laugh to scorn the power of man,

1:36:261:36:33

for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth!

1:36:331:36:38

Then live, Macduff.

1:36:381:36:40

What need I fear of thee?

1:36:401:36:43

And yet to make assurance double sure, I'll take a bond of fate.

1:36:431:36:47

Thou shalt not live.

1:36:471:36:49

What's this?

1:36:491:36:51

Listen, but speak not to't.

1:36:521:36:54

Be lion-mettled, proud.

1:36:541:36:59

And take no care who chafes,

1:36:591:37:02

who frets, or where conspirers are.

1:37:021:37:05

Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be

1:37:051:37:09

until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.

1:37:091:37:16

That can never be!

1:37:161:37:18

Who can impress the forest, bid the tree unfix his earth-bound root?

1:37:181:37:25

Sweet bodements!

1:37:251:37:26

Good! Rebellion's head, rise never till the wood of Birnam rise,

1:37:261:37:34

and our high-placed Macbeth shall live the lease of nature.

1:37:341:37:41

And yet my heart throbs to know one thing more.

1:37:411:37:46

Shall Banquo's issue ever reign in this kingdom?

1:37:471:37:51

Seek to know no more.

1:37:511:37:55

I will be satisfied.

1:37:551:37:58

Deny me, and an eternal curse light on you! Let me know!

1:37:581:38:04

-Show!

-Show!

1:38:041:38:05

Show!

1:38:051:38:07

Show his eyes, and grieve his heart. Come like shadows, so depart!

1:38:071:38:12

Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo. Down!

1:38:171:38:22

Thy crown does sear my eyeballs.

1:38:221:38:26

And thy hair, thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first.

1:38:281:38:34

A third is like the former.

1:38:341:38:37

Filthy hags! Why do you show me this?

1:38:371:38:41

A fourth! Start, eyes!

1:38:411:38:44

What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?

1:38:471:38:53

Another yet!

1:38:531:38:55

A seventh! I'll see no more.

1:38:551:39:01

And yet an eighth appears,

1:39:011:39:06

who bears a glass which shows me many more.

1:39:061:39:11

And now I see 'tis true.

1:39:131:39:17

For the blood-bolter'd Banquo smiles upon me. And points at them for his.

1:39:211:39:27

What, is this so?

1:39:281:39:30

VOICES: Ay, sir, all this is so.

1:39:301:39:35

Where are they?

1:39:351:39:36

Gone?

1:39:381:39:39

-Come in, without there!

-What's your grace's will?

1:39:441:39:47

Saw you the weird sisters?

1:39:471:39:49

-No, my lord.

-Came they not by you?

1:39:491:39:51

No, indeed, my lord.

1:39:511:39:53

Infected be the air whereon they ride.

1:39:551:39:59

I did hear the galloping of horse.

1:39:591:40:01

-Who was't came by?

-Tis two or three, my lord, that bring you word Macduff is fled to England.

1:40:011:40:06

Fled to England!

1:40:061:40:07

Ay, my good lord.

1:40:071:40:10

Time, thou anticipatest my dread exploits.

1:40:141:40:19

From this moment,

1:40:191:40:21

the very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand.

1:40:211:40:28

And even now, to crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done.

1:40:281:40:36

The castle of Macduff I will surprise. Seize upon Fife.

1:40:361:40:40

Give to the edge o' the blade his wife, his babes,

1:40:401:40:46

and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line.

1:40:461:40:51

No boasting like a fool.

1:40:511:40:54

This deed I'll do before this purpose cool.

1:40:541:40:58

But no more sights!

1:41:001:41:02

What had he done, to make him fly the land?

1:41:351:41:36

You must have patience, madam.

1:41:361:41:38

He had none.

1:41:381:41:41

His flight was madness.

1:41:411:41:43

When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors.

1:41:431:41:46

-You know not whether it was his wisdom or his fear.

-Wisdom!

1:41:461:41:50

To leave his wife, to leave his babes,

1:41:501:41:52

his mansion and his titles in a place from whence himself does fly?

1:41:521:41:55

He loves us not. He wants the natural touch.

1:41:551:41:59

The poor wren. The most diminutive of birds, will fight. Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.

1:41:591:42:05

All is the fear and nothing is the love;

1:42:051:42:09

As little is the wisdom, where the flight so runs against all reason.

1:42:091:42:12

My dearest coz, I pray you, school yourself.

1:42:121:42:16

But for your husband, he is wise,

1:42:161:42:21

noble, judicious.

1:42:211:42:23

I dare not speak much further.

1:42:251:42:28

But cruel are the times, when we are traitors.

1:42:281:42:34

And do not know ourselves,

1:42:341:42:36

when we hold rumour from what we fear,

1:42:361:42:39

yet know not what we fear, but float upon a wild and violent sea.

1:42:391:42:46

I take my leave of you.

1:42:491:42:51

Shall not be long but I'll be here again.

1:42:511:42:54

Things at the worst will cease,

1:42:541:42:57

or else climb upward to where they were before.

1:42:571:43:01

My pretty cousins, my blessings on you.

1:43:011:43:05

Father'd he is, and yet he's fatherless.

1:43:051:43:08

I am so much a fool,

1:43:081:43:10

should I stay longer, it would be my disgrace and your discomfort.

1:43:101:43:14

I take my leave at once.

1:43:141:43:17

Sirrah, your father's dead.

1:43:281:43:34

And what will you do now?

1:43:341:43:37

-How will you live?

-As birds do, mother.

1:43:371:43:39

What, with worms and flies?

1:43:391:43:43

With what I get, I mean.

1:43:431:43:44

My father is not dead, for all your saying.

1:43:511:43:53

Yes, he is dead,

1:43:531:43:56

how wilt thou do for a father?

1:43:571:44:00

Nay, what will you do for a husband?

1:44:001:44:04

Why, I can buy me 20 at any market.

1:44:041:44:06

Then you'll buy 'em to sell again.

1:44:061:44:08

Thou speak'st with all thy wit.

1:44:081:44:10

And yet, i' faith, with wit enough for thee.

1:44:121:44:16

Was my father a traitor, mother?

1:44:161:44:19

-Ay, that he was.

-What is a traitor?

1:44:211:44:25

Why, one that swears and lies.

1:44:251:44:27

And may all be traitors that do so?

1:44:271:44:30

Every one that does so is a traitor, and must be hanged.

1:44:301:44:34

And must they all be hanged who swear and lie?

1:44:341:44:37

Every one.

1:44:371:44:40

Who must hang them?

1:44:401:44:43

Why, the honest men.

1:44:431:44:45

Now, God help thee, poor monkey!

1:44:471:44:51

But how wilt thou do for a father?

1:44:511:44:54

If he were dead, you'd weep for him.

1:44:541:44:57

Poor prattler, how thou talk'st!

1:44:591:45:03

Bless you, fair dame! I am not to you known.

1:45:031:45:06

I do fear some danger does approach you nearly.

1:45:061:45:09

If you will take a homely man's advice, be not found here.

1:45:091:45:13

Hence, with your little ones.

1:45:131:45:15

To fright you thus, methinks, I am too savage.

1:45:151:45:17

To do worse to you were fell cruelty, which is too nigh your person.

1:45:171:45:21

CAR ENGINE

1:45:211:45:23

Heaven preserve thee!

1:45:231:45:25

I dare abide no longer.

1:45:271:45:28

Whither should I fly?

1:45:281:45:30

-I have done no harm. But I remember now I am in this earthly world,.

-DOGS BARK

1:45:301:45:37

Where to do harm is often laudable, to do good sometime accounted dangerous folly.

1:45:371:45:42

Why then, alas, do I put up that womanly defence, to say I have done no harm?

1:45:421:45:48

What are these faces?

1:45:481:45:50

INAUDIBLE

1:47:301:47:32

Let us seek out some desolate shade,

1:47:351:47:39

and there weep our sad bosoms empty.

1:47:391:47:42

Let us rather hold fast the mortal sword, and like good men bestride our down-fall'n birthdom.

1:47:421:47:48

Each new morn, new widows howl, new orphans cry, new sorrows strike heaven on the face...

1:47:481:47:55

What I believe, I'll wail, what know, believe, and what I can redress,

1:47:551:48:00

as I shall find the time to, friend, I will.

1:48:001:48:04

What you have spoke, it may be so perchance.

1:48:071:48:11

This tyrant,

1:48:111:48:13

whose sole name blisters our tongues, was once thought honest.

1:48:131:48:17

You have loved him well. He hath not touch'd you...yet.

1:48:171:48:23

I am young

1:48:231:48:25

but something you may deserve of him through me.

1:48:251:48:30

-I am not treacherous.

-But Macbeth is.

1:48:301:48:32

A good and virtuous nature may recoil in an imperial charge.

1:48:321:48:35

But I shall crave your pardon.

1:48:351:48:38

That which you are my thoughts cannot transpose.

1:48:381:48:43

Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.

1:48:431:48:45

I have lost my hopes.

1:48:451:48:48

Perchance even there where I did find my doubts. Why in this rawness left you wife and child,

1:48:481:48:53

those precious motives, those strong knots of love, without leave-taking?

1:48:531:48:59

Bleed, bleed, poor country!

1:48:591:49:03

Fare thee well, lord.

1:49:031:49:04

I would not be the villain that thou think'st for the whole space that's in the tyrant's grasp.

1:49:041:49:08

Be not offended.

1:49:081:49:10

I speak not as in absolute fear of you.

1:49:121:49:15

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke.

1:49:201:49:23

It weeps,

1:49:231:49:24

it bleeds, and each new day a gash is added to her wounds.

1:49:241:49:27

I think withal there would be hands uplifted in my right.

1:49:271:49:30

And here from gracious England have I offer of goodly thousands.

1:49:301:49:33

But, for all this, when I shall tread upon the tyrant's head, or wear it on my sword,

1:49:331:49:37

then my poor country shall have more vices than it had before,

1:49:371:49:41

more suffer and more sundry ways than ever, by him that shall succeed.

1:49:411:49:45

What should he be?

1:49:451:49:47

It is myself, I mean,

1:49:471:49:52

in whom I know

1:49:521:49:54

all the particulars of vice so grafted that,

1:49:551:49:59

when they shall be open'd, black Macbeth shall seem as pure as snow.

1:49:591:50:04

Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damn'd in evils to top Macbeth.

1:50:041:50:10

I grant him bloody,

1:50:101:50:12

luxurious,

1:50:121:50:14

avaricious, false, deceitful, sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin that has a name.

1:50:141:50:20

But there's no bottom, none, to my voluptuousness.

1:50:201:50:25

Your wives,

1:50:291:50:31

your daughters, your matrons and your maids,

1:50:311:50:35

could not fill up the cistern of my lust.

1:50:351:50:37

Better Macbeth than such a one to reign.

1:50:381:50:40

But fear not yet to take upon you what is yours.

1:50:401:50:44

You may convey your pleasures in a spacious plenty,

1:50:461:50:51

and yet seem cold, the time you may so hoodwink.

1:50:511:50:55

We have willing dames enough.

1:50:551:50:57

With this there grows in my most ill-composed affection such a stanchless avarice that, were I king,

1:50:571:51:03

I should cut off the nobles for their lands,

1:51:051:51:08

desire his jewels and this other's house.

1:51:081:51:13

And my more-having would be as a sauce

1:51:131:51:17

to make me hunger more, that I should forge quarrels unjust

1:51:171:51:21

against the good and loyal, destroying them for wealth.

1:51:211:51:25

This avarice sticks deeper.

1:51:281:51:31

Yet do not fear.

3:00:003:00:02

Scotland hath foisons to fill up your will.

3:00:023:00:04

Of your mere own - all these are portable,

3:00:043:00:06

with other graces weigh'd.

3:00:063:00:08

But I have none: the king-becoming graces,

3:00:083:00:12

as justice, verity, temperance, stableness,

3:00:123:00:16

bounty, perseverance, mercy...

3:00:163:00:19

..mercy...

3:00:213:00:23

..lowliness...

3:00:263:00:27

..devotion...

3:00:293:00:32

patience...

3:00:323:00:34

..courage...

3:00:353:00:36

..fortitude...

3:00:393:00:41

I have no relish of them.

3:00:433:00:47

Nay, had I power, I should

3:00:473:00:50

pour the sweet milk of concord into hell,

3:00:503:00:53

uproar the universal peace, confound all unity on earth.

3:00:533:00:58

O Scotland, Scotland!

3:00:583:00:59

If such a one be fit to govern, speak.

3:00:593:01:01

I am as I have spoken.

3:01:013:01:02

Fit to govern!

3:01:023:01:04

No, not to live. O nation miserable,

3:01:043:01:09

When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again,

3:01:093:01:11

since that the truest issue of thy throne

3:01:113:01:13

by his own interdiction stands accursed,

3:01:133:01:15

and does blaspheme his breed? Thy royal father

3:01:153:01:19

was a most sainted king. The queen that bore thee,

3:01:193:01:22

oftener upon her knees than on her feet.

3:01:223:01:25

Fare thee well!

3:01:253:01:26

O my breast,

3:01:263:01:28

thy hope ends here!

3:01:283:01:30

Macduff, this noble passion,

3:01:323:01:34

child of integrity, hath from my soul

3:01:343:01:37

wiped the black scruples, reconciled my thoughts

3:01:373:01:39

to thy good truth and honour. Devilish Macbeth

3:01:393:01:42

by many of these trains hath sought to win me

3:01:423:01:44

into his power, and modest wisdom plucks me

3:01:443:01:47

from over-credulous haste, but God above

3:01:473:01:50

deal between me and thee! For even now

3:01:503:01:52

I put myself to thy direction, and

3:01:523:01:55

unspeak mine own detraction, here abjure

3:01:553:01:58

the taints and blames I laid upon myself,

3:01:583:02:00

for strangers to my nature. I am yet...

3:02:003:02:03

..unknown to woman, never was forsworn,

3:02:053:02:10

scarcely have coveted what was mine own,

3:02:103:02:13

at no time broke my faith, would not betray

3:02:133:02:17

the devil to his fellow and delight

3:02:173:02:18

no less in truth than life. My first false speaking

3:02:183:02:23

was this upon myself. What I am truly

3:02:233:02:25

is thine and my poor country's to command.

3:02:253:02:29

Whither indeed, before thy here-approach,

3:02:293:02:32

old Siward, with ten thousand warlike men,

3:02:323:02:35

already at a point, was setting forth.

3:02:353:02:37

Now we'll together, and the chance of goodness

3:02:373:02:39

be like our warranted quarrel! Why are you silent?

3:02:393:02:42

Such welcome and unwelcome things at once

3:02:423:02:46

'tis hard to reconcile.

3:02:463:02:48

See, who comes here?

3:02:483:02:51

My countryman, but yet I know him not.

3:02:513:02:53

My ever-gentle cousin, welcome hither.

3:02:533:02:56

I know him now.

3:02:563:02:58

Good God, betimes remove

3:03:003:03:03

the means that makes us strangers!

3:03:033:03:06

Sir, amen.

3:03:063:03:08

Stands Scotland where it did?

3:03:083:03:10

Alas, poor country!

3:03:103:03:13

Almost afraid to know itself. It cannot

3:03:143:03:18

be call'd our mother, but our grave, where nothing,

3:03:183:03:22

but who knows nothing, is once seen to smile,

3:03:223:03:26

where sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air

3:03:263:03:31

are made, not mark'd, where violent sorrow seems

3:03:313:03:36

a modern ecstasy.

3:03:363:03:38

O, relation Too nice, and yet too true!

3:03:383:03:41

What's the newest grief?

3:03:413:03:43

That of an hour's age doth hiss the speaker.

3:03:433:03:45

-Each minute teems a new one.

-How does my wife?

3:03:453:03:48

Why...well.

3:03:493:03:52

-And all my children?

-Well, too.

3:03:523:03:55

The tyrant has not batter'd at their peace?

3:03:553:03:57

No, they were well at peace when I did leave them.

3:03:573:04:01

But not a niggard of your speech - how goes't?

3:04:013:04:03

When I came hither to transport the tidings,

3:04:033:04:05

which I have heavily borne, there ran a rumour

3:04:053:04:11

of many worthy fellows that were out,

3:04:113:04:13

which was to my belief witness'd the rather,

3:04:133:04:16

for that I saw the tyrant's power a-foot.

3:04:163:04:18

Now is the time of help! Your eye in Scotland

3:04:183:04:24

-would create soldiers...

-Be't their comfort

3:04:243:04:27

we are coming thither. Gracious England hath

3:04:273:04:32

lent us good Siward and ten thousand men.

3:04:323:04:34

An older and a better soldier none that Christendom gives out.

3:04:343:04:37

Would I could answer

3:04:403:04:42

this comfort with the like!

3:04:423:04:45

But I have words

3:04:453:04:48

that would be howl'd out in the desert air,

3:04:483:04:52

where hearing should not latch them.

3:04:523:04:55

What concern they? The general cause?

3:04:553:04:57

Or is it a fee-grief due to some single breast?

3:04:573:05:00

No mind that's honest but in it shares some woe,

3:05:003:05:04

though the main part pertains to you alone.

3:05:043:05:08

If it be mine, keep it not from me,

3:05:083:05:11

quickly let me have it.

3:05:113:05:13

Let not your ears despise my tongue for ever,

3:05:133:05:16

which shall possess them with the heaviest sound

3:05:163:05:18

-That ever yet they heard.

-Hum!

3:05:183:05:21

I guess at it.

3:05:213:05:22

Your castle is surprised, your wife and babes

3:05:223:05:25

savagely slaughter'd. To relate the manner

3:05:253:05:30

were to add the death of you.

3:05:303:05:32

Merciful heaven!

3:05:323:05:34

What, man! Ne'er pull your hat upon your brows.

3:06:053:06:10

Give sorrow words.

3:06:103:06:12

The grief that does not speak

3:06:133:06:15

whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break.

3:06:153:06:18

My children too?

3:06:183:06:20

Wife, children, servants, all

3:06:203:06:24

-That could be found.

-And I must be from thence!

3:06:243:06:29

My wife kill'd too?

3:06:293:06:30

-I have said.

-Be comforted.

3:06:303:06:31

Let's make us medicines of our great revenge,

3:06:313:06:34

To cure this deadly grief.

3:06:343:06:36

He has no children.

3:06:363:06:38

All my pretty ones? Did you say all?

3:06:403:06:46

O...hell-kite!

3:06:463:06:51

All?

3:06:533:06:56

What, all my pretty chickens and their dam

3:06:563:06:59

at one fell swoop?

3:06:593:07:00

-Dispute it like a man.

-I shall do so.

3:07:003:07:03

But I must also feel it as a man.

3:07:053:07:09

I cannot but remember such things were,

3:07:093:07:11

that were most precious to me.

3:07:113:07:13

did heaven look on,

3:07:143:07:17

and would not take their part?

3:07:173:07:19

Sinful Macduff,

3:07:193:07:23

they were all struck for thee!

3:07:233:07:26

Naught that I am,

3:07:263:07:28

not for their own demerits, but for mine,

3:07:283:07:30

fell slaughter on their souls.

3:07:303:07:33

Heaven rest them now!

3:07:343:07:37

Be this the whetstone of your sword. Let grief

3:07:373:07:41

Convert to anger. Blunt not the heart, enrage it.

3:07:413:07:45

O, I could play the woman with mine eyes

3:07:453:07:48

and braggart with my tongue!

3:07:483:07:51

But, gentle heavens,

3:07:513:07:54

cut short all intermission.

3:07:543:07:58

Front to front,

3:07:583:08:00

bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself.

3:08:003:08:05

Within my blade's length set him.

3:08:063:08:10

If he 'scape,

3:08:123:08:15

heaven forgive him too!

3:08:153:08:17

This tune goes manly.

3:08:173:08:20

Come, our power is ready.

3:08:203:08:24

Our lack is nothing but our leave. Macbeth

3:08:243:08:27

is ripe for shaking, and the powers above

3:08:273:08:31

put on their instruments.

3:08:313:08:32

Receive what cheer you may.

3:08:353:08:38

The night is long that never finds the day.

3:08:383:08:41

I have two nights watched with you,

3:08:523:08:55

but can perceive no truth in your report.

3:08:553:08:57

When was it she last walked?

3:08:573:09:00

Since his majesty went into the field,

3:09:003:09:02

I have seen her rise frae her bed,

3:09:023:09:05

throw her night-gown upon her, unlock her closet, take forth paper,

3:09:053:09:10

fold it, write upon't, read it,

3:09:103:09:13

afterwards seal it, and again return to bed,

3:09:133:09:15

yet all this while in a most fast sleep.

3:09:153:09:19

A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit

3:09:193:09:22

of sleep, and do the effects of watching!

3:09:223:09:25

In this slumbery agitation, besides her walking and other actual

3:09:253:09:29

performances, what, at any time, have you heard her say?

3:09:293:09:33

-That, Doctor, which I will not report after her.

-But you may to me,

3:09:333:09:38

and 'tis most meet you should.

3:09:383:09:40

Neither to you nor any one, having no witness to confirm my speech.

3:09:403:09:44

Lo, Doctor, here she comes!

3:09:463:09:48

Observe her, stand close.

3:09:533:09:56

How came she by that light?

3:09:563:09:57

Why, it stood by her. She has light by her continually.

3:09:573:10:01

-'Tis her command.

-You see, her eyes are open.

3:10:013:10:04

Ay, but their sense is shut.

3:10:043:10:05

What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.

3:10:053:10:09

It's an accustomed action wi' her, to seem thus washing her hands.

3:10:093:10:14

I have known her continue in this a quarter of an hour.

3:10:143:10:17

-Yet here's a spot.

-Hark! She speaks.

3:10:173:10:20

I will set down what comes from her,

3:10:203:10:22

to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.

3:10:223:10:25

Out, damned spot! Out, I say!

3:10:253:10:29

One. Two. Why, then, 'tis time to do't.

3:10:293:10:34

Hell is murky!

3:10:393:10:44

Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard?

3:10:443:10:48

What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?

3:10:483:10:52

Yet who would have thought the old man

3:10:523:10:54

-to have had so much blood in him.

-Do you mark that?

3:10:543:10:58

The thane of Fife had a wife.

3:11:023:11:04

Where is she now?

3:11:063:11:08

What, will these hands ne'er be clean?

3:11:083:11:13

No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that.

3:11:143:11:17

You mar all with this starting.

3:11:173:11:19

Go to, go to. You have known what you should not.

3:11:193:11:23

She has spoke what she should not, I am sure of that.

3:11:233:11:26

Heaven knows what she has known.

3:11:263:11:28

Here's the smell of the blood still.

3:11:403:11:42

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand.

3:11:463:11:53

Oh!

3:11:533:11:54

Oh!

3:11:563:11:57

SHE SCREAMS

3:12:023:12:03

Oh, what a sigh is there!

3:12:133:12:15

The heart is sorely charged.

3:12:153:12:18

I would not have such a heart in my bosom

3:12:183:12:20

for the dignity of the whole body.

3:12:203:12:23

Well, well, well...

3:12:233:12:24

Pray God it be, sir.

3:12:243:12:26

This disease is beyond my practise,

3:12:263:12:29

yet I have known those which have walked in their sleep

3:12:293:12:32

who have died holily in their beds.

3:12:323:12:35

Wash your hands, put on your nightgown. Look not so pale....

3:12:353:12:38

I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried,

3:12:383:12:40

he cannot come out on's grave.

3:12:403:12:42

Even so?

3:12:423:12:43

To bed, to bed! There's knocking at the gate.

3:12:433:12:47

Come, come.

3:12:473:12:49

Come.

3:12:503:12:52

Come...

3:12:543:12:55

..give me your hand.

3:12:563:12:58

No!

3:13:103:13:11

No!

3:13:143:13:16

What's done cannot be undone....

3:13:213:13:26

To bed.

3:13:303:13:31

To bed.

3:13:343:13:36

To bed.

3:13:393:13:42

To bed.

3:13:423:13:44

To bed. To bed.

3:13:453:13:48

-SHE SCREAMS:

-To bed!

3:13:503:13:53

-Will she go now to bed?

-Directly.

3:13:553:13:59

Foul whisperings are abroad.

3:14:003:14:02

Unnatural deeds

3:14:023:14:04

do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds

3:14:043:14:08

to their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.

3:14:083:14:11

God, God forgive us all!

3:14:113:14:14

Look after her. Remove from her the means of all annoyance,

3:14:143:14:17

And still keep eyes upon her. So, good night.

3:14:173:14:21

My mind she has mated, and amazed my sight.

3:14:213:14:24

I think, but dare not speak.

3:14:243:14:27

Good night, good doctor.

3:14:293:14:32

The English power is near,

3:14:503:14:52

let on by Malcolm,

3:14:523:14:53

his uncle Siward and the good Macduff.

3:14:533:14:55

Revenges burn in them, for their dear causes

3:14:553:14:59

would to the bleeding and the grim alarm

3:14:593:15:02

excite the mortified man.

3:15:023:15:05

Near Birnam wood shall we well meet them.

3:15:103:15:13

That way are they headed.

3:15:133:15:15

Know you if Donalbain be with his brother?

3:15:153:15:18

For certain, sir, he is not.

3:15:183:15:19

I have a file

3:15:193:15:21

of all the gentry.

3:15:213:15:24

There is Siward's son,

3:15:243:15:25

and many unrough youths that even now

3:15:253:15:27

protest their first of manhood.

3:15:273:15:29

-What does the tyrant?

-Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies.

3:15:323:15:35

Some say he's mad.

3:15:353:15:37

Others that do lesser hate him

3:15:373:15:38

do call it valiant fury, but, for certain,

3:15:383:15:41

he can no longer buckle his distemper'd cause

3:15:413:15:45

within the belt of rule.

3:15:453:15:46

Now does he feel

3:15:483:15:49

his secret murders sticking to his hands.

3:15:493:15:52

Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach.

3:15:523:15:55

Those he commands move only in command,

3:15:553:15:58

nothing in love. Now does he feel his title

3:15:583:16:02

hang loose upon him, like a giant's robe

3:16:023:16:06

upon a dwarfish thief.

3:16:063:16:08

Who then shall blame

3:16:083:16:10

his pester'd senses to recoil and start,

3:16:103:16:12

when all that is within him does condemn

3:16:123:16:14

itself for being there?

3:16:143:16:16

Well...march we on,

3:16:163:16:19

to give obedience where 'tis truly owed.

3:16:193:16:22

Bring me no more reports!

3:16:373:16:40

Let them fly all.

3:16:403:16:43

Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane, I cannot taint with fear.

3:16:433:16:50

What's the boy Malcolm?

3:16:503:16:54

Was he not born of woman? The spirits that know

3:16:543:16:58

all mortal consequences pronounce me thus -

3:16:583:17:01

"Fear not, Macbeth. No man that's born of woman

3:17:013:17:05

"shall e'er have power upon thee." Then fly, false thanes,

3:17:053:17:11

and mingle with the English epicures.

3:17:113:17:15

The mind I sway by and the heart I bear

3:17:153:17:19

shall never sag with doubt nor shake with fear.

3:17:193:17:23

HE COUGHS

3:17:233:17:25

The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon!

3:17:253:17:29

Where got'st thou that goose look?

3:17:293:17:33

There is ten thousand...

3:17:333:17:35

-Geese, villain!

-No. Soldiers, sir.

3:17:353:17:38

Go prick thy face, and over-red thy fear,

3:17:383:17:42

thou lily-liver'd boy. What soldiers, patch?

3:17:423:17:46

Death of thy soul!

3:17:463:17:48

These linen cheeks of thine are counsellors to fear.

3:17:483:17:53

What soldiers, whey-face?

3:17:533:17:55

The English force, so please you.

3:17:553:17:59

Go take thy face hence.

3:18:013:18:03

Seyton!

3:18:113:18:12

I am sick at heart,

3:18:133:18:15

When I behold...

3:18:153:18:17

Seyton, I say!

3:18:173:18:19

This push shall cheer me ever...

3:18:233:18:26

..or...

3:18:283:18:29

..disseat me now.

3:18:313:18:34

I have lived long enough.

3:18:403:18:41

My way of life is fall'n into the sear,

3:18:433:18:47

the yellow leaf.

3:18:473:18:50

And that which should accompany old age,

3:18:523:18:56

as honour, love, obedience...

3:18:563:19:02

..troops of friends

3:19:043:19:07

I must not look to have, but, in their stead...

3:19:073:19:12

..curses. Not loud but deep, mouth-honour...

3:19:143:19:22

..breath.

3:19:243:19:26

Seyton!

3:19:273:19:30

-What is your gracious pleasure?

-What news more?

3:19:323:19:35

All is confirm'd, my lord, which was reported.

3:19:353:19:39

I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hack'd. Bring me my armour.

3:19:393:19:44

'Tis not needed yet.

3:19:443:19:46

I'll put it on!

3:19:463:19:48

Send out more horses, skirr the country round.

3:19:483:19:51

Hang those that talk of fear.

3:19:513:19:54

Bring me my armour!

3:19:543:19:55

How fares your patient, Doctor?

3:19:583:19:59

Not so sick, my lord,

3:19:593:20:02

as she is troubled with thick coming fancies

3:20:023:20:05

That keep her from her rest.

3:20:053:20:07

Cure her of that.

3:20:073:20:09

Canst thou not...

3:20:103:20:12

..minister to a mind diseased,

3:20:143:20:18

pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,

3:20:183:20:22

raze out the written troubles of the brain,

3:20:223:20:26

and with some sweet oblivious antidote,

3:20:263:20:30

cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous...

3:20:303:20:36

..stuff

3:20:393:20:41

which weighs upon the heart?

3:20:413:20:43

Therein the patient must minister to himself.

3:20:433:20:48

Throw physic to the dogs! I'll none of it.

3:20:533:20:56

Come, give me my armour.

3:20:563:20:59

Doctor, the thanes fly from me.

3:21:003:21:03

You, sir, dispatch!

3:21:033:21:06

If thou couldst, Doctor, cast the water of my land,

3:21:063:21:12

find her disease, and purge it to a sound

3:21:123:21:16

and pristine health.

3:21:163:21:20

I would applaud thee to the very echo,

3:21:203:21:22

that would applaud again.

3:21:223:21:23

Pull it off, I say.

3:21:233:21:25

What rhubarb, cyme, or what purgative drug,

3:21:253:21:30

would scour these English hence? Hear'st thou of them?

3:21:303:21:34

Ay, my good lord. Your royal preparation

3:21:343:21:36

makes us hear something.

3:21:363:21:38

I will not be afraid of death or bane,

3:21:433:21:47

till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.

3:21:473:21:51

EXPLOSION

3:21:513:21:52

-What wood is this before us?

-The wood of Birnam.

3:21:533:21:57

Let every soldier hew him down a bough

3:21:583:22:02

and bear't before him, thereby shall we shadow

3:22:023:22:05

the numbers of our host and make discovery

3:22:053:22:07

err in report of us.

3:22:073:22:08

It shall be done.

3:22:083:22:09

We learn no other but the confident tyrant

3:22:093:22:11

keeps still in Dunsinane.

3:22:113:22:12

'Tis his main hope.

3:22:123:22:14

Advance the wall!

3:22:163:22:18

Hang out our banners on the outward walls.

3:22:203:22:23

The cry is still, "They come."

3:22:233:22:25

Our castle's strength will laugh a siege to scorn.

3:22:253:22:29

Here let them lie

3:22:293:22:30

till famine and the ague eat them up.

3:22:303:22:32

Were they not forced with those that should be ours,

3:22:323:22:36

we might have dareful met them, beard to beard,

3:22:363:22:39

-And beat them backward home.

-WOMAN SCREAMS

3:22:393:22:41

What is that noise?

3:22:423:22:45

It is the cry of women, my good lord.

3:22:463:22:49

EXPLOSIONS AND GUNFIRE OUTSIDE

3:22:493:22:52

I have almost forgot the taste of fear.

3:22:553:22:58

The time has been, my senses would have cool'd

3:23:003:23:03

to hear a night-shriek.

3:23:033:23:05

I have supp'd full with horrors.

3:23:173:23:20

Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts

3:23:213:23:26

cannot once start me.

3:23:263:23:28

Wherefore was that cry?

3:23:283:23:30

The queen, my lord,

3:23:333:23:35

is dead.

3:23:353:23:37

She should have died hereafter.

3:23:443:23:46

There would have been a time for such a word.

3:23:473:23:50

Tomorrow...

3:24:153:24:16

..and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

3:24:193:24:23

creeps in this petty pace

3:24:233:24:28

from day to day

3:24:283:24:32

to the last syllable of recorded time...

3:24:323:24:36

..and all our yesterdays have lighted fools

3:24:383:24:44

the way to dusty death.

3:24:443:24:45

Out... Out, brief candle!

3:24:473:24:54

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

3:24:543:25:02

that struts and frets his hour upon the stage

3:25:023:25:08

and then is heard no more.

3:25:083:25:10

It is a tale...

3:25:113:25:13

..told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

3:25:153:25:20

signifying...

3:25:203:25:22

..nothing.

3:25:253:25:26

Thou comest to use thy tongue.

3:25:383:25:41

Thy story quickly.

3:25:413:25:43

Gracious my lord,

3:25:433:25:45

I should report that which I say I saw,

3:25:453:25:50

but know not how to do it.

3:25:503:25:52

Well, say, sir.

3:25:523:25:56

As I did stand my watch upon the hill,

3:25:563:25:58

I looked toward Birnam, and anon, me thought,

3:25:583:26:04

the wood began...

3:26:043:26:07

Began to move?

3:26:073:26:10

Liar and slave!

3:26:173:26:19

Let me endure your wrath, if it be not so.

3:26:193:26:23

Within this three mile may you see it coming,

3:26:233:26:28

I say, a moving grove.

3:26:283:26:32

If thou speak'st false,

3:26:323:26:34

upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive,

3:26:343:26:37

till famine cling thee.

3:26:373:26:39

If thou say'st sooth,

3:26:413:26:42

I care not if thou dost as much for me.

3:26:423:26:47

I pull in resolution, and begin

3:26:473:26:50

to doubt the equivocation of the fiend

3:26:503:26:53

who lies like truth!

3:26:533:26:57

"Fear not, till Birnam wood

3:26:573:26:59

"do come to Dunsinane," and now a wood

3:26:593:27:03

comes toward Dunsinane.

3:27:033:27:06

Arm.

3:27:093:27:10

Arm, and out!

3:27:103:27:14

If that which he avouches doth appear,

3:27:143:27:16

there is nor flying hence nor tarrying here.

3:27:163:27:21

I gin to be aweary of the sun,

3:27:243:27:26

and wish the estate o' the world were now undone.

3:27:263:27:31

Ring the alarum bell!

3:27:333:27:35

Blow, wind! Come, wrack!

3:27:363:27:40

At least we'll die with harness on our back.

3:27:423:27:47

Now near enough. Your leafy screens throw down

3:28:473:28:51

and show like those you are! You, worthy uncle,

3:28:513:28:54

shall, with my cousin, your right-noble son,

3:28:543:28:55

lead our first battle. Worthy Macduff and we

3:28:553:28:57

shall take upon's what else remains to do

3:28:573:28:59

according to our order.

3:28:593:29:00

Fare you well. Do we but find the tyrant's power tonight,

3:29:003:29:03

let us be beaten, if we cannot fight.

3:29:033:29:06

Make all our trumpets speak, give them all breath,

3:29:063:29:09

those clamorous harbingers of blood and death!

3:29:093:29:13

ALL SHOUT: Blood and death!

3:29:133:29:17

Enter, sir, the castle!

3:29:503:29:52

They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly

3:30:013:30:05

but, bear-like, must I fight the course. What's he

3:30:053:30:10

that was not born of woman?! Such a one

3:30:103:30:15

I am to fear...

3:30:153:30:17

..or none.

3:30:183:30:19

What's thy name?

3:30:273:30:29

Thou'lt be afraid to hear it.

3:30:293:30:31

No, though thou call'st thyself a hotter name

3:30:313:30:33

Than any is in hell.

3:30:333:30:34

My name's Macbeth.

3:30:363:30:37

The devil himself could not pronounce a title

3:30:373:30:40

more hateful to mine ear.

3:30:403:30:41

No, nor more fearful.

3:30:413:30:43

Thou liest, abhorred tyrant. With my blade,

3:30:433:30:46

I'll prove the lie thou speak'st.

3:30:463:30:48

Thou was born of woman.

3:30:583:31:00

That way the noise is!

3:31:023:31:04

Tyrant, show thy face!

3:31:053:31:08

If thou be'st slain and with no stroke of mine,

3:31:083:31:11

my wife and children's ghosts will haunt me still.

3:31:113:31:15

I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms

3:31:153:31:17

are hired to bear their staves.

3:31:173:31:20

Either thou, Macbeth,

3:31:203:31:23

Or else my blade with an unbatter'd edge

3:31:233:31:25

I sheathe again undeeded.

3:31:253:31:28

-There thou shouldst be!

-GUNFIRE CLOSE BY

3:31:283:31:31

By this great clatter, one of greatest note

3:31:313:31:34

seems bruited. Let me find him, fortune!

3:31:343:31:37

And more I beg not!

3:31:373:31:39

What is he that was not born of woman?

3:31:563:32:00

Was he that was not born of woman...

3:32:003:32:05

Swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn,

3:32:053:32:13

brandish'd by man that's of a woman born.

3:32:133:32:17

Turn, hell-hound.

3:32:213:32:23

Turn!

3:32:233:32:25

Of all men else I have avoided thee.

3:32:413:32:45

But get thee back.

3:32:483:32:51

My soul is charged

3:32:513:32:54

with too much blood of thine already.

3:32:543:32:56

I have no words.

3:32:563:32:58

My voice is in my blade.

3:32:583:33:01

Thou bloodier villain than terms can give thee out!

3:33:013:33:05

Thou losest labour.

3:33:113:33:14

As easy mayst thou the intrenchant air

3:33:143:33:16

with thy keen blade impress as make me bleed.

3:33:163:33:20

I bear a charmed life, which must not yield,

3:33:203:33:25

to one of woman born.

3:33:253:33:28

Despair thy charm

3:33:283:33:31

and let the angel whom thou still hast served

3:33:313:33:34

tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb

3:33:343:33:38

untimely ripped.

3:33:383:33:41

Accursed be the tongue that tells me so,

3:33:523:33:55

and be these...

3:33:563:33:58

juggling fiends no more believed,

3:33:583:34:04

that palter with us in a double sense,

3:34:043:34:07

that keep the word of promise to our ear,

3:34:073:34:11

and break it to our hope.

3:34:113:34:15

I'll not fight with thee.

3:34:163:34:18

Then yield thee, coward,

3:34:203:34:23

and live to be the show and gaze o' the time!

3:34:233:34:27

We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are,

3:34:273:34:30

painted on a pole, and underwrit, "Here may you see the tyrant."

3:34:303:34:35

I will not yield,

3:34:353:34:36

to kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet,

3:34:363:34:40

and to be baited with the rabble's curse.

3:34:403:34:43

Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane,

3:34:433:34:47

and thou opposed, being of no woman born,

3:34:473:34:51

Yet I will try the last.

3:34:513:34:53

GUN CLICKS

3:34:533:34:55

Before my body I throw my war-like shield.

3:35:033:35:08

Lay on, Macduff,

3:35:163:35:19

and damned be he that first cries, "Hold...

3:35:193:35:23

"..enough."

3:35:433:35:44

BLADE SWISHES AND A GROAN

3:35:443:35:48

I would the friends we miss were safe arrived.

3:36:013:36:03

Some must go off, and yet, by these I see

3:36:033:36:06

so great a day as this is cheaply bought.

3:36:063:36:09

Macduff is missing.

3:36:093:36:11

GUN CLICKS

3:36:113:36:13

Hail, King!

3:36:223:36:25

For so thou art.

3:36:273:36:29

Behold, where stands

3:36:313:36:34

the usurper's cursed head.

3:36:343:36:38

The time is free.

3:36:423:36:44

Hail, King of Scotland!

3:36:473:36:51

-ALL:

-Hail, King of Scotland!

3:36:513:36:54

We shall not spend a large expense of time

3:37:113:37:15

before we reckon with your several loves,

3:37:153:37:18

and make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,

3:37:183:37:21

henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland

3:37:213:37:26

in such an honour named.

3:37:263:37:28

What's more to do,

3:37:283:37:30

which would be planted newly with the time,

3:37:303:37:34

as calling home our exiled friends abroad

3:37:343:37:36

that fled the snares of watchful tyranny,

3:37:363:37:39

producing forth the cruel ministers

3:37:393:37:41

of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen,

3:37:413:37:44

who, as 'tis thought by self and violent hands,

3:37:443:37:46

took off her life. This and what needful else

3:37:463:37:49

that calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,

3:37:493:37:51

we will perform in measure, time and place.

3:37:513:37:57

So, thanks to all at once!

3:37:593:38:02

And to each one,

3:38:043:38:07

Whom we invite

3:38:073:38:09

to see us crown'd...

3:38:093:38:11

..at Scone!
