Feste: God bless thee, lady! Olivia: Take the fool away. Feste: Do you not hear, fellows? Take away the lady. Olivia: Go to: I'll no more of you: Besides, you grow dishonest. Feste: Bid the dishonest man mend himself; if he mend, he is no longer dishonest; if he cannot, let the botcher mend him: Any thing that's mended is but patched: Virtue that transgresses, is but patched with sin, and sin that amends is but patched with virtue. As there is no true cuckold but calamity, so beauty's a flower: The lady bade take away the fool, therefore I say again, take her away. Olivia: Sir, I bade them take away you. Feste: Misprision in the highest degree! Good Madonna, give me leave to prove you a fool. Olivia: Can you do it? Feste: Dexteriously, good Madonna. Olivia: Make your proof. Feste: Must catechize you for it... Madonna. Good my mouse of virtue, answer me. Olivia: Well, sir, for want of other idleness. Feste: Good Madonna, why mourn'st thou? Olivia: Good fool, for my brother's death. Feste: I think his soul is in hell, Madonna. Olivia: I know his soul is in heaven, fool. Feste: The more fool, Madonna, to mourn for your brother's soul, being in heaven... Take away the fool, gentleman. Olivia: What think you, Malvolio? Doth he not mend? Malvolio: Yes... And shall do, till the pangs of death shake him: Infirmity, that decays the wise, doth ever make the better fool. Feste: God send you, sir, a speedy infirmity, for the better increasing your folly. Olivia: How say you to that, Malvolio? Malvolio: I marvel your ladyship takes delight in such a barren rascal. Look you now, he's out of his guard already; unless you laugh and minister occasion to him, he is gagged. Olivia: O, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, and taste with a distempered appetite. There is no slander in an allowed fool, though he do nothing but rail; nor no railing in a known discreet man, though he do nothing but reprove. Maria: Madam, there is at the gate a young gentleman who much desires to speak with you. Olivia: From the count Orsino, is it? Maria: I know not, Madam. Olivia: Who of my people hold him in delay? Maria: Sir Toby, Madam. Olivia: He speaks nothing but madman. Go you, Malvolio: If it be a suit from the count, I am sick or not at home... What you will, to dismiss it.
I love this scene. Feste, better than anyone else, cheers up the Lady Olivia with that single remark: "The more fool, Madonna, to mourn for your brother's soul being in heaven." He's very tender with her in this scene. I also love Malvolio's expression when Feste says: "I think his soul is in hell." Priceless!
When Malvolio is talking smack about him, Feste gives off the impression of someone very powerful, who could kill this guy with a snap of his fingers, but is holding back. Not just here, either. Throughout this movie, it feels to me like he's not entirely mortal, like there's something otherworldly about him, but not in a bad way. Like Feste's got a wisdom beyond these silly people, but he takes them (mostly) in good humour all the same as he watches their stories unfold.
Well - true that it's not as big as it used to be, but I think that live theater will never truly die. I mean, it's been around for thousands of years and it's lasted this long.
***** it was may 21st in Toronto great run for one day! iam going to update my videos my accent got lighter and see what you think of my future prospect of acting industry
Do you not think, lollipopfop, that perhaps people no longer go to the theatre not because they don't like it but because it's no longer an affordable past time? I personally would love to go to see a play in live theatre, but simply can't afford it, nevermind find the time for it. As for Broadway, they run the same plays they did almost 20 years ago because that's what brings in the money and that's what's made them successful.
THIS IS MY CHARACTER!!! Well, actually, no. I am Feste's apprentice. A made up role for the play, but i still know all of the Feste scenes because i'm in them all. He is NOT foolish enough.
That was awful clever. Thats the whole point. If you haven't noticed that live theater is dying, you are obviously far less aware of the world then me. I personally like anything that is well done. But I think its pretty well known very few theaters can live unless they serve food or have endowments. Broadway does OK, but not as well as before, and they are doing the same plays that were around when I was six(I am now 25). Next time learn to distinguish an observation from opinion.
I always love this type of Shakespeare’s Fool. Not there to always make you laugh, but to tell the truth where no one else will.
as court fools were meant to do
Feste: God bless thee, lady!
Olivia: Take the fool away.
Feste: Do you not hear, fellows? Take away the lady.

I love this movie. It doesn't get enough attention. I think it's brilliant in every way.
So many great lines.

Thumbs up for everyone playing feste :)
Bellatrix Lestrange and Dolores Umbridge playing the dozens with Gandhi and Sir Humphrey.
I watched this as a break from my studies in theology. I keep getting the idea that God is like Feste in so many ways. "Take away the fool..."
Olivia: Take the fool away.
Feste: Do you not hear, fellows? Take away the lady.
ooooooooooohhh olivia just got burned by feste
Love this scene. 'Twould be cool if the whole movie was uploaded on the site.
"Better a witty fool than a foolish wit"

I do believe that this is my favourite Kingsley character and that this side plot is nearly as good as The Count of Monte Cristo. ❤️
Feste is AWESOME!
YAY HELENA!

Jebediah Kerman Darude-Sandstorm
Sorry for my fuckwit friends, the film is twelfth night.

This is a rather stuffy performance of Feste I always felt.... I like my fools a tad more foolish.
@maybemaybenot160 lol i am aswell but year 6 leaving play
I disagree. Kingsleys Fete is perfect. Diffrent from a silly stage production, which is why it works. No one likes live theater for a reason.
