Macbeth (I) (2015)

David Hayman: Lennox

Quotes 

• Lennox : As two spent swimmers, that do cling together and choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald, worthy to be a rebel, for to that the multiplying villanies of nature do swarm upon him-from the western isles of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, which smoked with bloody execution, like valour's minion carved out his passage till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, and fix'd his head upon our battlements! And to conclude: Victory fell on us.

• Lennox : He cannot buckle his distempered cause within the belt of rule. Those he commands move only in command. Nothing in love.

• Lennox : The night has been unruly. Where we lay, our temples were blown down and, as they say, lamentings heard in the air, strange screams of death.

  Macbeth : 'Twas a rough night.

• Macbeth : Which of you have done this?

  Lennox : What, my good Lord?

  Macbeth : Thou canst not say that I did it!
