SARAH:  After the ghost departs at the coming of the dawn, Hamlet returns to his friends and companions.  He’s quite rattled by what’s happened.

RALPH:  And with good reason, Sarah!  If the ghost's story is true, and Claudius gets word of Hamlet's encounter with his father's spirit, then he’ll be in real trouble; and so Hamlet swears the others to silence.

SARAH:  Hamlet also warns his friends that he’s going to pretend to be a little crazy in the days to come; this is part of his strategy to throw off the King’s suspicions.

RALPH:  How will that help, Sarah?

SARAH:  We’ll just have to wait and see, Ralph.
