Hi retten4,
The line "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" is found
in Shakespeare's Henry VI, in Act IV Scene II.
Here is an excerpt of the scene where the line is located:
"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. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of
the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment,
being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings; but
I say, 'tis the bee's wax, for I did but seal once to a thing, and I
was never mine own man since. How now! who's there?"
