1LT Shane Vansen: Maybe, it's just, you know, no one is born that mean. They either put it on for effect, or something happened - something turned them that mean. They can never go back. The worst part is... they know it.

Television recording: "My name's MacBeth... The devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear... No, nor more fearful."

1LT Paul Wang: Isn't this great? I requested it at the beginning of our tour. Took three months to get it.

Television recording: "...prove the lie thou speak'st."

1LT Cooper Hawkes: I don't know what this guy's saying, but he means it.

1LT Paul Wang: Come on! Damned Armed Forces censors. We can kill Chigs, we can earn medals, but we can't watch a fight on TV?

1LT Cooper Hawkes: Popped the V-chip.

1LT Paul Wang: Come on. Just in time. Hey, you idiot, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Lt. Colonel Raymond Thomas Butts: I saw what you maggots did. Brass says you're not supposed to see this crap.

1LT Paul Wang: May I speak freely, Colonel?

Lt. Colonel Raymond Thomas Butts: Speak.

1LT Paul Wang: You don't care if we see this. You're just messing with our heads. And being at war, this could be the last time I hear Shakespeare and you took that from me. And if you weren't wearing those oak leaves, *sir* I'd be kicking your ass up between your shoulder blades.

Lt. Colonel Raymond Thomas Butts: I'll tell you what. I'll drop these oak leaves for just 10 seconds because that's all it'll take to pound some respect into you.

Maury is a struggling playwright who is in a deep economic depression because his last plays have not been welcomed at all. At the same time he is avoiding his landlord who is ready to evict him. There is only one hope for him and his best friend, Harry, finishing their latest play.

While working in his apartment, Maury and Harry have a heated discussion over the method one of the characters in the play should use to kill when suddenly Harry falls down thanks to a heart attack and with his last words he informs Maury that the amulet he is wearing gives its bearer one wish, so he asks Maury to take it and use it on him to revive him after he dies. Seconds later Harry dies. Maury decides to use the amulet to wish something for himself, and he asks to be paired with the best playwright ever.

Seconds later, Maury is in the seventeenth century in William Shakespeare’s workshop where he is currently working. First William thinks Maury is nothing but a servant but after finding out he can read, he asks him for his opinion on his latest play, Timon of Athens. Maury tells him that it is not as good as for example, Hamlet, which Shakespeare has not written yet and asks him to tell him more about it. Once he listens to it and likes it, both of them are going to work on it.

Seeing the kind of problem he got himself into he questions the amulet about leaving that age and place but Shakespeare manages to remove it from his hands before anything happens and without noticing it asks for Maury to rewrite Hamlet with him. Maury realizes that due to Shakespeare's wish he is going to write this and many more plays... without ever getting any credit.
