Hamlet has a deep conversation with his subconscious in which they discover that he is dealing with thoughts he never knew that he had. Hamlet realizes that he doesn't have to play along so he announces that he is not going to act anymore. Hamlet, his memory and subconscious, and Polonius start to deliver lines that deal with the downfall of a government that doesn't care about the people. Hamlet takes responsibility for the actions that are occurring. His memory reminds him that he is not alone. Then three televisions start to deliver horrible headlines before the subconscious brings us back to reality. The scene finishes with Hamlet listening to a small set of words delivered by Mao Zedong and Vladimir Lenin.
