Hamlet Act 3 scene 1 part 3 Hamlet and Ophelia, "Get thee to a Nunnery!"

This is a famous scene it occurs in Act 3 scene 1 right after the "To be or not to be" soliloquy. (pages 166-172). Unfortunately, I couldn't find the version that we have been watching all along, but this version stars Kenneth Branagh and Kate Winslet, you may have seen it advertised.
Enjoy!
