Quotes from A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999)
1
Puck: If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended. That you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear, and this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream. Gentles, do not reprehend. If you pardon, we will mend. Else the Puck a liar call. And so good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.

Peter Quince: [backing away] Bless me. Thou art translated. [all run off, leaving Bottom alone on the stage] Bottom the Weaver: Why do the run away? I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me.
