Act I Scene III Modern Hamlet Script



L: I am about to board the plane. Don’t forget to tweet me.
O: you think I am gonna forget?
L: just lemme tell ya’ somethin’. Hamlet doesn’t truly love you. He is just playing and using you.
O: Is that all you have to say?
L: Yeah that’s it. you just haven’t matured yet. He may say that he loves you but things change quickly when it comes to love. Don’t lose your v-card over this guy and DON’T ruin you reputation over nothing. You are smarter than that.
O: Yeah I guess. I will think about it. Just remember to take your own advice.
L: don’t worry about me. It is not your problem. I’ll be ok.
Polonius enters
P: good luck on your trip to france, but remember to keep your friends close, don’t borrow or lend money to anyone, and be weary of picking fights, but kick-a$$ when you do.  Also son, be true to yourself. Never lose track of perspective.
L: I got it.
P: Now hurry! Flight tracker says your plane is about to leave.
L: Alright Alright. Goodbye Ophelia and don’t forget what I told you.
O: Don’t worry I wont.
L: Ok bye.
Laertes exits
P: what did he talk to you about?
O: Its about Hamlet.
P: Yeah I heard he has been seeing you privately. And if that’s true I gotta tell you that you must not understand yourself enough. Whats going on between you two?
O: I think he has a thing for me.
P: And do you actually believe what he is saying?
O: I do not know what I should think?
P: Well just be careful. Don’t just meet at his first request. And Ophelia don’t trust anything that Hamlet says. He doesn’t always speak the truth. That’s why I don’t want you saying him anymore. Please don’t fight me on this one.
O: Okay dad
