SCENE II
Hamlet is in his father´s office alone.
Hamlet: Everything looks same way I remember. It´s a little bit creepy. But still it seems to me something´s missing. It could be a thing of no importance. Child´s drawing, photo on the table, flower on the windowsill, customer´s letter. But not one of these things at all exactly. There must be missing something important. Something that can explain me the feeling of emptiness and cold inside my chest. I don´t feel them only inside me but around me as well. And closer I am to the source stronger this feeling is. I don´t even hear my thoughts nor any other sound, I am falling to the void. What will be on the bottom? Searching father´s belongings may help me to cope with it. Oh dad, whether you had many virtues you have not been able to clean up your drawers. But you definitely found the thing you had been looking for. What is this?
Hamlet pulls out DVD. He reads the inscription on it aloud.
Hamlet: To Hamlet? Let´s see what is going on.
He turns the PC up and inserts DVD into it.
Hamlet: It is not possible.
Father: Son, if you find this CD, I am dead. In fact, I am dying already and that´s why I must speak fast. Hamlet, I love you. Now, it seems to me I was telling it very rarely.
Hamlet: I love you, too.
Father: Don´t blame your mother from anything that happened. She is just a weak woman. Claudius is the one who is guilty. He and your mother have been having a love affair for years.
Hamlet: No. That can´t be true.
Father: It´s true. I have caught them once. But I have never wanted to divorce her. I still love her, even if she doesn´t see it. She was so weak and she couldn´t resist my brother´s words. He is a bad brother. First, he took my wife´s body. What will be next? Son, whatever will happen, keep distance from him. Treat my company well. All important documents are printed and they are somewhere here. I am sorry for the mess. If you have some questions, ask Polonius. He is a wise and skilled man. Literally, man in his place. He will help you with everything if you need an aid. I am sure you can do it. I am not afraid of your future. I could never wish better son. Be happy. I love you.
Hamlet: So, my father wanted me to boss the company. Why did he give it to that man in his testament? It makes no sense. Something is wrong here. How could father know he was dying? So many questions and no answers. Something is terribly wrong. My head is spinning from it. And when I imagine that my mother and uncle… In time my father was alive. It makes me sick to my stomach.
There is a knock on the door.
Bernardo: Sir, everything alright?
Hamlet: Not be afraid. I am just leaving.
Bernardo: We were worried about you. We heard voices.
Hamlet: What have you heard?
Marcel: Not a word only a buzz.
Hamlet: Good. But promise me you will not tell anybody what happened tonight. You and I will be in troubles, then. Swear to me.
Marcel: I swear.
Bernardo: But, sir, why are you doing such ceremonies about it? Something is happening?
Hamlet: I respect you, you know. Now, I want you to show me some respect. Ask nothing and swear.
Bernardo: So I swear.
