The Seven Ages of Man by William Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Saturday Night Live:The Usual Suspects (Kevin Spacey, Andy Samberg)

Andy Samberg: Kevin, you want to see me?
Kevin Spacey: Yeah, what in the heck is going on? You're already in, I mean what's going on with you buddy? You were late! How can you be late for a live show? It's completely unprofessional!
Andy Samberg: Look. I am really sorry but I can explain.
Kevin Spacey: I'll save it! I am not buying it!
Andy Samberg: I...I was in a cab on the way to the show. OK? But I guess Kofi Annan is making a speech to the UN. So traffic was terrible. So I decided to take the subway. And on the subway. And you know those bald strip performance guys who paint themselves gold and ask for change?
Kevin Spacey: Yeah.
Andy Samberg: Well, there were two of them on my train. And they got in a fight.So I have to give the statement to a pair of police officers, because I was the only person there. Well, me and some bum who looked like the red fox. He was so drunk that I didn't know he was saying anything. Anyway. Finally I get to 30 Rock, and who gets on my elevator - Stone Phillips, and here is the thing, my mom is a huge Stone Philips fan. And I missed mother's day so I had to get an autograph. And I really sorry. But you know what? Do you like radio head?
Kevin Spacey: Yeah.
Andy Samberg: Cause I have a couple of tickets to the show next week. I will feel so much better about this if you take them. Because as soon as I saw you, I feel guilty.
Kevin Spacey: Well, that's okay. That...that's very nice, Andy. You know. I am sorry I am so hard on you.
Andy Samberg: That's okay. I appreciate that you are understanding. See ya!
Kevin Spacey: Alright.
Kevin Spacey: Nice kid.
