(Fortinbras and Captain.)
FORTINBRAS
Go to the king now, and request our passage through his
realm. If he insists on meeting, you know our rendezvous,
direct him there.
CAPTAIN
Very well.
(Enter Hamlet, Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern.)
HAMLET
(looking/pointing off into
distance)
Good sir, whose army is this?
CAPTAIN
Norway, sir.
HAMLET
May I ask, what's the objective?
CAPTAIN
Poland.
HAMLET
Who commands?
CAPTAIN
The nephew to the king--Fortinbras.
HAMLET
What part of Poland?
CAPTAIN
To be honest, a small bit of ground I wouldn't pay to farm.
There is no profit but the name. Norway nor Poland could
ever gain a penny from it.
HAMLET
Will the Poles defend it?
CAPTAIN
It's already garrisoned.
