Psychiatrist: So, are we ready to get started? Have any tantrums you'd like to get out of the way first?
Hamlet: No, I believe they are all out of my system. I fear that without Ophelia by my side, I shall have no good reason to throw such a tantrum.
P: Ophelia?
H: What, the fair Ophelia? I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum. But alas, she did not feel the way for me that I felt for her. Refusing to see me, sending back my letters. My parents didn't care enough to betroth me at a young age, we could have been together! But she turned me away. And for what? So she could sew in the closet?
P: Sewing in the closet? Hamlet, did you ever maybe think that-
H: *ignores him* To a nunnery, I told her, go, and quickly too. Farewell. But she didn't care too take my advice. Something about my unmatched form and feature of blown youth blasted with ecstasy.
P: Hamlet, I think you've got it all wrong. It wasn't that she didn't care for you, it's just that she cared more for... the fairer sex.
H: *obviously doesn't get it* What sex is fairer than I?
P: Never mind, it isn't important. So, is there anyone else in your life that you could turn too? A close friend or maybe a family member.
H: *gives Psychologist a condescending look*
P: Probably not a family member.
H: Well, there is one. Horatio, what a wounded name, things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me! If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart absent thee from felicity a while, and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain to tell my story.
P: Why don't we have Horatio come talk?
H: I suppose. He's out in the hallway.
Horatio: *enters* Hello.
P: Hello, Horatio. I hear you and Hamlet are very close.
Hor: But of course.
P: Are you aware that your friend is suicidal?
Hor: If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search.
P: *takes a few moments to deep read what Horatio is saying* You are two really moody teenagers with really wide vocabulary.
Hor and Ham: *simultaneously* Ay.
P: So, Horatio. How do you plan to support your friend?
Hor: *lifts goblet of poisoned wine to lips*
Ham: Horatio no! As thou'rt a man, give me the cup. Let go! By heaven, I'll have 't! It's poisoned!
P: Where did you get that?
Hor: If Hamlet so chooses to lift the goblet to his lips, I so choose to lift it to mine. *drinks from cup*
Ham: No! *drinks from cup as well*
Hor: Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince. *the two men collapse on the floor*
P: ... I THOUGHT I WAS COUNSELING HAMLET NOT JULIET.
