Training Speeches
/ - indicates where to take breath

* - indicates where to pause
Number One.

Shakespeare: Friar Laurence.
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume:/the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:/
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;/Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Number Two.

Chekov: Masha
I was married when I was 18 and I was afraid of my husband because he was a teacher and I was hardly out of school. / In those days he seemed to me terribly learned, clever and important. * But now unfortunately it is different.
Number Three.

Shakespeare: Macbeth.
' is this a dagger..'
In japanese language to practise articulation and memory under pressure.

O! Tanken dewa naika/
Ore no mae ni mieru no wa
Tsukau ore no te ni mukete iru na/
Yoshi! * Tsukamaeruzo!/
Tsukamenu ka meniwa mada miete oru no ni/
Ei norowashi maboroshime*
Sugata was misete mo
Ten ni was sawarasenu to yu no ka
Number Four.

Wachowski Brothers:
The Matrix: RELOADED.
Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. / You are the eventuality of an anomaly,* which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to
eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. / While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it,* it is not unexpected,* and thus not beyond a measure of control. / Which has led you,* inexorably,* here.
Number Five.

Christopher Hampton: Dangerous Liaisons (Marquise De Merteuil).
The role I was condemned to in society gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and pay attention, not to what people told me, which was naturally of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. / I learned how to look cheerful when I was angry and how to smile pleasantly, while * under the table * I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. / I became not merely impenetrable, but a virtuoso of deceit.
