O, farewell, honest soldier. Who hath relieved you?
MARCELLUS
Good-bye. Who's taken over the watch for you?
FRANCISCO
Barnardo has my place. Give you good night.
FRANCISCO
Barnardo's taken my place. Good night.
Exit FRANCISCO

Holla, Barnardo.
MARCELLUS
Hello, Barnardo.
BARNARDO
Say what, is Horatio there?
BARNARDO
Hello. Is Horatio here too?
HORATIO
A piece of him.
HORATIO
More or less.
BARNARDO
Welcome, Horatio.—Welcome, good Marcellus.
BARNARDO
Welcome, Horatio. Welcome, Marcellus.
MARCELLUS
What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
MARCELLUS
So, tell us, did you see that thing again tonight?
BARNARDO
20
I have seen nothing.
BARNARDO
I haven't seen anything.
MARCELLUS
Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight twice seen of us.
Therefore I have entreated him along
25
With us to watch the minutes of this night,
That if again this apparition come
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
MARCELLUS
Horatio says we're imagining it, and won't
let himself believe anything about this horrible thing that
we've seen twice now. That's why
I've begged him to come on our shift tonight, so that if
the ghost appears he can see what we see and speak to it.
