Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 1:
Gertrude tells Claudius that Hamlet is "mad as the sea and wind when both contend" (line 8). She also reveals that he killed Polonius.
Claudius instructs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to speak nicely to Hamlet and to get him to obtain Polonius' dead body to bring to the chapel.
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 2:
Hamlet refuses to tell Guildenstern where Polonius’ body is. Instead, he uses word play (double entendre): "the body is with the king, but the king is not with the body. The king is a thing" (lines 25-27).
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 3:
Claudius acknowledges that Hamlet is loved by the public. "He's loved of the distracted multitude" (line 4).
When Claudius asks Hamlet where Polonius' body is, Hamlet is evasive and uses word play (lines 20-27).
Claudius makes plans to eliminate Hamlet. First, exile to England. Second, murder--by king of England (lines 45046; lines 60-64).
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 4:
Fortinbras asks permission to go across Denmark so Norway can invade Poland.
Hamlet is resolute to complete his mission (seek revenge on Claudius). "Oh from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!" (Lines 64-65).
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 5:
Ophelia is singing and appears delusional. Claudius believes Ophelia has lost her sanity because of her father's death, Hamlet's banishment, Polonius' hurried funeral, Laertes' return from France and because people are spreading gossip about Polonius’ death.
Laertes is starting a rebellion against Claudius' government. Laertes vows to take revenge against his father's murderer and for Ophelia's insanity. Laertes says, "By heaven, thy madness shall be paid by weight" (133-134).
Claudius tells Laertes that he'll join him in seeking revenge. "And we shall jointly labor with your soul to give it due content" (lines 172-173).
Laertes is angry that Polonius didn't have a proper funeral. "No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones, no noble rite nor formal ostentation" (lines 175-177).
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 6:
Hamlet sent Horatio a letter about his imprisonment by a pirate ship when he was on his way to England. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are on their way to England. Hamlet tells Horatio to give the king the letters he has sent.
Dialogue from Act IV, Scene 7:
Laertes questions Claudius' veracity. Claudius explains that he didn't seek revenge against Hamlet because Gertrude and the public favor him.
Hamlet tells Claudius (in a letter) that he's returning to Denmark.
Claudius questions Laertes' will to seek revenge against Hamlet. This is meant to incite Laertes to action.
Laertes proves to Claudius that he doesn't care if he is heretical. Laertes tells Claudius that he will kill Hamlet in church (line 123).
Claudius arranges a fencing match between Laertes and Hamlet (lines 125-136).
Laertes says he's going to poison the sword which he uses to fight Hamlet (lines 136-145).
Claudius makes a back-up plan to ensure Hamlet's death: a poisonous cup of wine (lines 149-152).
Gertrude announces that Ophelia has drowned (line 160).
