Can we talk about James' amazing lines/scenes?
- Talking about Tuunbaq: "Mr. Teeth and Claws"
- Slandering that poor ship's boy: "Your nails are a terror"
- The whole hip hip horary scene
- After Doctor McDonald is explaining David Young's condition: "That's a vivid description"
- To the Terror Lieutenants: "You terrors"
ok why is no one talking about how funny the opening of hamlet is. the guards begging horatio who is like trembling and shaking and about to pass out to speak to a ghost. because he went to school?? so he’s qualified?? horatio just repeatedly shouting ‘speak’ at it. for some reason using ‘thou’ directly after bernardo tells him it’s the ghost of the king. this attempt does not work. the ghost leaving and the guards being like damn it horatio!!! look what you did!! it’s offended!!!!
james bites his hands until he’s bruised and bleeding to try to keep from crying out while being hauled. bridgens is the first one with him when he finally does and, in the next hours, bandages his hands before holding them at the end.
