2 Shakespeare: I'd love to Ophelia, but I have a deadline on this freelance writing assignment...
2 Ophelia: Oh, okay.
3 Shakespeare: {to himself, as Ophelia walks back to her desk} Hermione would grace mine eyes this night/ but for this damn Nigerian deadline.

When this strip appeared Ophelia's last line was originally, "to let thou knowest that I would be thine."
But mandareevz immediately pointed out that "thou knowest" is the inappropriate nominative case, and should be "thee know", in the accusative case. Unfortunately, this would remove a syllable and throw off the iambic pentameter.
So he kindly came up with the alternate line that you now see, which is, I am assured by people more fluent in archaic English than myself, grammatically correct.
