I'm telling you like a friend: better take what you got and sell it while it's hot, because demand's going to pass you by to a better supply."

As You Like It - Act 3, Scene 5

"But, mistress, know yourself: down on your knees,
And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love:
For I must tell you friendly in your ear,
Sell when you can: you are not for all markets:
Cry the man mercy; love him; take his offer:
Foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer.
So take her to thee, shepherd: fare you well."

Rosalind to Phebe in As You Like It.

PS, Dogi, that was a hilarious interpretation.

Full point to Mel for first correct answer, full half-point to Lac for non-first correct answer!

The Standings:

#1 Lacrema: 9.5
#1 Mel: 9.5
#3 snortingmarmots: 2.5
#4 Edana: 2.0
#5 Elliott: 0.5

You'll note that when 2 are tied for first, the next in the running runs...why, third, of course.

@Lac - thanks! Yeah, I just noticed, this one's very nearly almost a rap or something. My buddy Rob's caught the bard bug bad!
