I got to the part where he said "and it's coming fast, and don't wait until 1975, the doors are going to be shut then". I couldn't stomach any more.

CoCo:

I had to memorize that in high school English class. In drama class I had to memorize this:

Hamlet, Act II, Scene II - Advice to Players

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you, trippingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it, as many of our players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.

Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . . nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.
William Shakespeare
Macbeth 2. 3

the above is one of my fav quotes by Shakespeare and one of my favorite plays by him was "Much Ado About Nothing" though I haven't read it or seen it performed in years.
