Romeo & Juliet’s Act 3, Scene 1 originally read: > [@Shakespeare](#): > > TYBALT > Mercutio, thou consort’st with Romeo. > > MERCUTIO > Consort? What, dost thou make us menstrels? An thou make menstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords. Here’s my dickstick. Here’s that shall make you dance. Zounds, “consort”! > > BENVOLIO > We talk here in the public haunt of men. > Either withdraw unto some “private place,” > And reason coldly of your grievances, > Or else depart. Here all eyes gaze on us. > > MERCUTIO > Men’s eyes were made to look and let them gaze. I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I. Doesn’t that make much more sense? ---

Anne Hathaway is the illegitimate child of Jane Hathaway and Milburn Drysdale. She kept her mother’s surname so as not to ruin the banker’s career and marriage, because that’s just the kind of woman she is, God bless her. ---
