and Sir Francis Bacon.
[Enter Viola and Julia]
Scene II: Writing Workshop.
Viola:
Thou art the sum of a handsome beautiful fair flower and a plum.
Thou art the sum of the square of thyself and a golden rose. Speak
thy mind! Thou art the sum of thyself and the difference between a
delicious cute fine blossoming rich Lord and a good healthy
summer's day. Speak thy mind! Thou art the difference between
thyself and a pony. Speak thy mind! Speak thy mind! Thou art the
difference between thyself and the sum of a joy and a bold happy
proud King. Speak thy mind! Thou art the sum of thyself and the
difference between a normal little blue bottomless purse and a
nose. Speak thy mind! Thou art the square root of the square of a
fat foul infected misused lying flirt-gill. Speak thy mind! Thou
art the sum of myself and a thing. Open your heart! You are the
difference between a flower and a stinking vile dusty blister.
Speak your mind!
Julia:
Thou art the sum of thyself and a hair.
Scene III: Academic Conference.
Viola:
Thou art the difference between a miserable stuffed toad and a
disgusting fat-kidneyed hairy oozing hog. You are the difference
between the square of thyself and a cursed dirty rotten beggar.
Thou art the sum of a flower and the sum of thyself and a flower.
Am I worse than Julia?
If so, let us proceed to Scene II.
