Sherlock goes Shakespeare, 2nd part

And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; (...)
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot.

Sherlock: "this is my hard drive, I only put in it what's useful." *Can replay a whole scene of Shakepeare*

[@JamesJohnson-nm5pu]

Only what Sherlock considers 'useless' he doesn't put in there. Lmao

[@Apollo-tj1vm]

Well he is british...

[@mrsfahrenheit]

[@TChops-hi7hr]

GOES FULL FRICKIN METAL CITING SHAKESPEARE!!! *A few seconds later*: Oh Hello. Can I have a cup of tea?

[@midnightelf9149]

Such good acting, like it really just popped in Sherlock's head to ask.

[@elizaboof6566]

high Sherlock is the best thing ever

[@mrsfahrenheit]

haha it was that moment Mrs. Hudson decided it’s getting too serious 😂 naahh when Sherlock starts quoting a whole ass Shakespeare play he’s crossing a line😂

[@yousaid4026]

"Oh hello, can I have a cup of tea?" Yeah ok crazy...

[@neuromeister]

I felt like I was in a theater in London when I watched this scene. It was a very classy feeling.

[@soldierkeeponmarchingon2289]

I have been replaying 0:04 - 0:06 for the past hour. The way he says it...😍

[@anemptybowl5844]

god can you imagine how fun this scene was to make

[@tonyschannel1786]

bless this moment

[@DarkSonic2023]

Dr.Strange has completely lost it- XD

[@jonnnyren6245]

This version of Sherlock deserves the 1812 Overture as his theme song. It clearly fits him when he's angry.

[@chikowashere]

Thank you, I've been waiting for someone to upload this clip since it aired

[@aninaholbek]

You're welcome. Unfortunately I can only upload 30 seconds of it, due to copyright claims, so the first part is missing.

[@chikowashere]

Anina Holbek I'll take it, Ben's acting at its best

[@RaySingh87]

Don't mind me. I'll just pretend I didn't nearly shoot my landlady and ask for some tea. XD

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Cokehead Sherlock is a fucking legend

[@Wikia3033]

Rewatching now Hollow crown and Benedict's Richard III - I suddenly wanted to hear Sherlock quoting some Shakespeare!

[@atlasshrugd]

you can tell benedict cumberbatch had an absolute BALLER time filming this

[@madisonpark2092]

I'm needing the full clip of this speech. Where did you find it to upload it? Or could you possible upload the first part too?

[@aninaholbek]

I just added the first bit. I tried to upload the full clip, but it gets blocked due to copyright claims, so it has to be in two parts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWjFnH98h91qf7c

[@shirleynitka5030]

wheres part1? They should come up together. Cumberbatch is magnificent reciting Shakespeare. MORE!!

[@constantappleatiny4636]

May I know from which Shakespeare's work is this?☺️

[@aninaholbek]

It's from the play Henry V. The complete monologue: Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest English. Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof! Fathers that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought And sheathed their swords for lack of argument: Dishonour not your mothers; now attest That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not; For there is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
