Quince: Is all our company here?
Trump: We don't need anyone else: I can play all the roles.
Quince: You are set down for Pyramus.
Trump: I'll play him, and Thisby, too. And the wall, and the lion.
Quince: You can play no part but Pyramus . . .
Trump: You watch - I'll be great. They'll love me, even in Iowa.
Quince: But . . .
Trump: Not only will I be great as Pyramid or Paramus, whatever, I'd be great as president of the U.S., and I'd be great as president of Venezuela. They need a strong leader down there.
Quince: But . . .
Trump: And FIFA, I'd be a great president of that organization, too.
Quince: . . . Pyramus, you are set down only for Pyramus.
Trump: I could also run the IMF, better than anyone. I mean, who knows more about money than me? I'm swimming in money.
Quince: You are . . .
Trump: And let's not forget the Federal Reserve. I could run the Fed better than the old broad there now, the one with a face that's even worse that Carly What'sHerName. Huh. A face that's fit only to be on the ten dollar bill.
Puck: What hempen homespuns have we swaggering here?
Trump: I could straighten out Syria. And Putin, too. I'll build a wall around Syria, just like the wall to keep out Mexicans, only this one would keep ISIS in. It'll be huge.
Quince: You speak all your parts at once, cues and all!
Trump: I can do them all, with one hand tied behind my back.
Quince: But . . .
Trump: You and the liberal media are trying to make an ass of me, but it won't work. They all love me. Titania, Cobweb, Peasblossom . . .
Puck: [aside] My mistress GOP with a monster is in love.
Trump: You know who the real ass is? It's Carson who's the real ass. Him and Jeb and Marco and, and . . . Where was I. Methinks I had a dream. I was on a stage, by myself, and there were ten anchors from Fox, and MSNBC, and CBS and NPR, and they were all firing questions at me, and I stumped them all. And it went on and on, and the place was really hot, and I wanted to take a leak . . . But I was terrific!
Puck: Lord, what fools these mortals be!
