As You Like It: Act 2 Scene 3: My Interpretation


Adam: Sir, Sir! Thou art to be killed!

Orlando: Yeah, yeah. I'm hungry.

Adam: Fair and noble Orlando 'tis your dying day if thou dost not act and leave this place.

Orlando: Yes, yes. Do we—what?! Repeat yourself!

Adam: No, though should have been listening.

Orlando: Who is to kill me and how? I need ideas!

Good Fairy: (prances in) (bops Adam on the head) (high voice) Just tell him already!

Bad Fairy: (follows other fairy) (high voice) No don't tell him!

Good Fairy: Tell him, tell him!

Bad Fairy: No don't tell him!

Good Fairy: Yes!

Bad Fairy: No!

Good Fairy: Yes!

Bad Fairy: No!

Orlando: Oh stop it!

Adam: Monotonous isn't it?

Orlando: You!

(Fairies leave)

Adam: Thou must retreat to yonder forest.

Orlando: Um…hark…(confused) to the forest?

Adam: Yes the forest. (mutters) You twit.

Orlando: (mutters) I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. (louder) Come Robin to the forest!

Adam: A few problems with that statement. One, my name is not Robin. Two, there was a reason why I said 'Thou…must…retreat…to…yonder…forest.' And three (mumbles) I'm allergic to trees.

Orlando: Trees, trees? (laughing) You're allergic to trees?

Adam: It's better than having a price on ones head.

Orlando: I have a price on my head? I thought I was to be killed.

Adam: Yes! If thee had a price on your fair head, thou are certainly to be killed!

Orlando: Then I guess I'll have to go to the forest then…

Adam: (mutters) Finally the bleedin' twit gets it. (to Orlando) Yes, I think you should.

Orlando: (brightly) Okay! Even if you are allergic to trees, will you go with me?

Adam: (turns from Orlando) (thinking aloud) Yes? No? Yes? No? (turns to Orlando) yes, I'll go to the forest with you.

Orlando: Okay then, let us be off! (turns as if to go into the forest)

Adam: Wait, wait! Let us hide all evidence of our departure, let us burn down the house.

Orlando: Okay! (out pops matches) (sets house on fire) Ooh Purty!

Adam: Okay, okay let's go before someone comes to investigate all this smoke.

Orlando: (starts to leave with Adam: Ya know, I'm still hungry…
