    This was the funniest part of that entire show, imo. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

    Enough! We are riven by these crossroads!

    Is this it? Should we huddle around the

    laptop for a movie night? How else do

    we proceed how doth we channel this lack

    of compromise this dissension? this rage?

      Eh, you were kind of liberal with the line breaks but still cool.

        I broke them at the 10th syllable. It’s what makes it pentameter.

          Well kind of but I wouldn’t say that’s all. Or else basically any phrase or poem with syllables in multiples of ten could qualify if you make the breaks in the right place. I mean, even I could do that and I assure you I’m no Shakespeare.

            If it also has iambic rhythm then yes. It’s both iambic and pentameter. In this case it has both.

    DANI:

    We are in Holland! We should try Dutch food!

    RICHARD:

    As a Frenchman, I would rather die!

    DANI:

    NO!

    ISAAC:

    Enough! We are riven by these crossroads!

    Is this it? Should we huddle around the

    laptop for a movie night? How else do
