Quotes 

• [Back in downtown Los Angeles. Opening the door is Stuart, have a word with Ann] 

  Stuart Markowitz : So they agreed on a sentiment?

  Ann Kelsey : Bennett will rerelease the book with both their names, the profits to be donated to a scholarship fund.

  Stuart Markowitz : All for a pair of star-crossed lovers. You know, I worked with a Shakespeare company once.

  Ann Kelsey : Really?

  Stuart Markowitz : Oh, yeah, yeah, the summer before law school.

  Ann Kelsey : Let me guess: Hamlet.

  Stuart Markowitz : Mm-mm. I was the stage manager.

  Ann Kelsey : Hmm.

  Stuart Markowitz : You know... you need a sword, you need a bodkin, I'm your man.

  Ann Kelsey : I've always loved your bodkin.

  Stuart Markowitz : What about my sword?

  [Ann laughing] 

  Ann Kelsey : What I want to know is what would have happened with us if I hadn't made the first move?

  Stuart Markowitz : You mean if you hadn't gotten sloshed and drag me off to your apartment?

  Ann Kelsey : Yeah, you think we would have gone on like Camille and Simon, just working side by side, never seeing the possibilities?

  Stuart Markowitz : No way I was gonna miss you. Not unless I was struck blind.

  [Stuart laughing, Ann and Stuart hugged and kissed each other] 

• Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Bancroft vs. Bennett.

  Ann Kelsey : Camille Bancroft, a Shakespeare professor at Stanford is suing her colleague Simon Bennett for unfair competition.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Over Shakespeare?

  Ann Kelsey : Simon Bennett and Camille Bancroft have taught together for years. Not long ago, he published his own book based on their teaching methods.

  Stuart Markowitz : It's a great book: "Shakespeare in Love". Won the Bollingen prize.

  Ann Kelsey : Right, deposition start today, and I was hoping to reach a settlement, but Simon and Camille are like stubborn children. They always have been.

  Leland McKenzie : Do you know them?

  Ann Kelsey : My first year at Stanford, I majored in drama. Over time, I kept in touch with Camille.

  Arnie Becker : Shakespeare's so depressing. I mean, the lovers are always doomed.

  Gwen Taylor : Or dead.

  Melina Paros : That's why they call them tragedies.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : All's well that ends well.

  [Douglas closed his pocket watch that the time is up. The law meeting is adjourned]
