Bill Hader credited as playing...
Barry Berkman
- Sasha Smith: Lady MacBeth thought that she can kill whoever she wanted to kill to be in charge and then just move on, but she can't, you know like, because once you start killing you can never just go back, that's what the stain is, she's stained forever.
- Barry Berkman: Well, I'm not sure that's true.
- Antonio Manuel: No, it is, her soul is fucked, as well as Macbeth's.
- Jermaine Jefrint: Well actually he's more fucked, don't you think? I mean she just ordered the murder but he actually carried that shit out.
- Barry Berkman: Right, but it was her idea though you know like, so, she, she made him do it so.
- Sally Reed: What, so he's off the hook?
- Barry Berkman: Yeah, I mean I don't think he's gonna be messed up for life.
- Nick Nicholby: Did you read the end of the play?
- Sally Reed: Hey, whoa, whoa he's a murderer.
- Barry Berkman: No, he was following orders. Sometimes you just have to shut up and do your job.
- Eric: Yeah, but doesn't Mack Beth have free will? He doesn't have to take Lady Macbeth's orders, he can stand up for himself and say 'no I'm not gonna do that'.
- Barry Berkman: I disagree, I guess. I feel like Shakespeare whiffed it on this one.
- Sally Reed: Oh, my God! Are we really debating the morality of murder? I mean that's what the play is about. Macbeth is a murderer!
- Barry Berkman: Yeah, well then I guess so am I, right? I mean I've killed people. What, I just go blow my brains out cuz there's no hope for me, right? My soul's fucked because I was ordered to kill someone and I did it? You know, it doesn't make me a psycho.
- Sasha Smith: No, Barry, you're overreacting. We didn't say you were a psycho...
- Barry Berkman: You all just said that! Am I wrong? Isn't that what you guys are saying? I'm a fucking psycho? It's exactly what you fucking said! It's really easy for you guys sit here and weigh in and some shit that you don't know about, but it's um, it's fucking lame, a-and it's not true.
- Gene Cousineau: Okay, okay, all right, Barry take a breath, take a breath. I think that Barry is relating to his experience in the military, which is completely justifiable. And I want to say on behalf of the rest of the class, boy, I'll tell you, thank you for your service, really. But I think that you will all agree with me that, uh, if you kill outside of war you're, a fucking psycho I mean then your irredeemable am I right?
- Sasha Smith: Yes.
- Gene Cousineau: All right, let's take a tight five and then come back for group exercises upstairs. I would love a coffee.
