Hamlet Act 5 Scene 1 Lines 168-223
"Let me see"
This line is in the Folio but not Quarto 2, and does show up in a slightly different form in Quarto 1. I like it here because it tells the actor exactly when to take the skull, or rather when the skull is given to him. This helps out the actor even though it is a 3 word line that may be dropped or added, it makes a small difference in a crucial scene.
