"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

[WendyWeber]

Who said that, and where does it come from?

No cheating!

Hitler?

Is it Merchant of Venice?

Wasn't it the Marx brothers??

I am a lawyer so should know

CC is warm

henry 6! it is from henry 6

Thought it was Shakespeare, not sure MOV but took a punt. Will watch with interest.

It is a Henry. But def not V.

Is it 6 merry/wendy? I need to know before I bath DCs....

dick, dick cade? dick butcher? something like that.

gave up, googled it

mb is correct - it is H VI - well done, mb, if I had a prize you'd get it! (You'll have to make do with our admiration )

What a great quote though! And what unElizabethan language!

yes hen 6, part 2

bows mightily and is impressed her o level english ever got used

hmm - too late to join the game. i knew it was shakespeare but i wouldn't have got the play. i was thinking merry wives. anyone see the recent (ish) rsc version with haydon gwynn (sp?)? she was fab - and such lovely shoes!

What do you call 1,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea ???

A good start.

i once saw coriolanus performed in hornsey baths, actually in a defunct old deep swimming pool. hard on the arse, the old spectator seats were, but bloody good venue: they were able to make the floor run with blood, just as it should

them were the days, you could smoke in audiences. and in fact i smoked back then.

aaaaaaaaaaah.

I just read Bill Bryson's book on Shakey, thought it was good but I did have a friend whose dad was convinced the bard was the Earl of Oxford
