Today’s Totally Random
Line(s)
I thought ye would never have given out these arms till you had recover’d your ancient freedom: but you are all recreants and dastards, and delight to live in slavery to the nobility.
Jack Cade
King Henry the Sixth Part II Act IV,
Scene viii, Line 27
It’s Jack Cade the
rabble rouser taking here, and his rabble is about to realize that they’re
going to be better off remaining loyal to the king than they would be following
him. Jack is only a few lines away from hightailing it out of there. Next stop
for him is Iden’s garden, two scenes later, where he will find his end amongst
the tomato plants.
I can think of a few
big mouth world leaders that the world would be better off if they found their
end amongst the tomato plants before they can do any more damage. Yes, the
world today has quite a few Jack Cades. Quel dommage!

Dying among the tomato plants is an odd detail to include in a play. I'd like to hear that line.
