Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Monica : "To be, or not to be."

  Tess : I would definitely say: not to be.

• Monica : Do I know you?

  Andrew : [Lifts his fencing mask]  The Angel of Death, at your service.

  Monica : [of the sword]  Andrew. Put that away before you hurt someone.

  Andrew : Hey. You're supposed to tell me how dashing I look.

• Monica : Tess, is Andrew here on business?

  Tess : Well, he's certainly gonna do a death scene. We just don't know if it's on stage or off.

• Monica : "The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes."

  Marshall Redding : [as she reveals herself]  You look like some kind of an angel.

  Monica : Before Shakespeare wrote it, God *was* it. Mercy is His gift. And you shine with His divine light every time you are merciful or show someone forgiveness.
