Me: HA! Okay, 1) that was weird. 2) that was the end of Hamlet Act 4, Scene 7, when Laertes says, "I have a lot of fiery stuff to talk about, but first I have to cry about it."

Who I gotta have words with?
I hate how something someone says can stick with you. How it can bore a hole into your soul and take up residence without your consent. How those words fundamentally change how you view that person, whether you wanted to change or not. Those are the words that echo as I try to succumb to sleep.
