Ok. My face is red because I was sure the original line was "I knew him well." I didn't know anybody outside our drama club ever heard "I knew him, Horatio." Now they tell me it was written that way.
We dodged the bullet on that one. Nobody laughed.
But there was another line that got big hehaw. That was when the queen said, "Oh, Hamlet! Thou hast cleft my heart in twain!" Did the Bard really write corn like that?
