Other questions

This section is for questions which did not fit into one of the other categories. There is only one so far, but it sure is a frequently asked question:

Where does the line "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" come from?

In Act 4, Scene 1 of the second part of the Henry 6th trilogy, the rebel Jack Cade, a low-born, ignorant, but charismatic demagogue (who claims to be the legitimate heir to the English throne) addresses an enthusiastic crowd of supporters (including Dick the Butcher). In this scene, we hear him making extravagant promises about what he will do when he becomes their King:

CADE   I thank you, good people: there shall be no money;
       all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will
       apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree
       like brothers and worship me their lord.

DICK   The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

CADE   Nay, that I mean to do.
