ACT 5 Scene 1
Hamlet: Woe is me. I miss my dear Ophelia. Where is my beautiful maiden? I cannot
believe I will never see her again. Well, at least not until I am dead and buried.
Ophelia: Hamlet what are you babbling about? Im right here. Ive been waiting for you
for like an entire hour. I was really beginning to think you stood me up. Did you
totally forget we had a date tonight?
Hamlet: Wait, wait, I thought you killed yourself in act four? If it wasnt you who died
who was it?
Ophelia: No it was me that everyone thought tried to kill herself. But to tell you the truth,
I was just going for lifeguard certification and wasnt as good at swimming as I t
thought. Gosh, its like just because a girl flails around in the water a little bit that
she must not be able to be a good lifeguard. Whatever, Ill just be something else.
How do you feel about me being a Pilates instructor?
Hamlet : Yeah, um, hun thats great and all but you are kind of ruining this whole misery/
death persona I have going on here. So if you could just do me a favor and jump
off the top of this building, that would be great. Seriously though, you have to die

(CRASH)
Hamlet: (Looking down from the building) That looks like its going to take a long time
to clean up. Well now that she is finally out of the way, what should I do?
(Horatio enters)
Horatio: Hamlet, why are you standing so close to the edge of the roof? Thats kind of
dangerous man. Wait what are you staring at down there? (Peering over edge) Oh
my god, Hamlet is that her?
Hamlet: Yes it is, but please keep your mouth shut.
Horatio: Wait didnt she die in act four? I could have sworn she was supposed to be
buried in this act. Hamlet, whats going on.
Hamlet: Look at her again Horatio and tell me what you see. (CRASH) Two dead in one
day. Wow this story is getting changed too much. Hopefully, no one else will
notice for a little while. As long as it will be enough time for me to straighten some
things out.
ACT 5 SCENE 2
(The King and Gertrude are sleeping in their chambers) (Hamlet enters)
Hamlet: I must keep quiet and avenge my fathers death, no matter how unholy it will be.
My lord, this man snores so loud. Wait a second, its my mother that snores so
ungodly loud. I dont know who I should kill first, the snoring is just too
unbearable.
(Hamlet raises the knife and stabs himself in the face, the sound
