This might seem a bit off-the-wall, but I'm looking for how the
Shakespeare/Mamet joke about the panhandler and the passerby goes?
Anybody know exactly the Shakespeare quote(s)? I want to use it in
promo for Mamet play I'm producing.
Thx,
Kevin

The passerby refuses to give the panhandler money, and we get the following
dialogue:

Passerby: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." William Shakespeare.
Panhandler: "Fuck you." David Mamet.
