Joe is a poet by heart. But back in the 16th century he and Nicky were in London where they met a certain playwright. Of course they became friends and Joe and Will used to talk a lot about their texts and ideas and all that. And then Joe and Nicky moved on.
Cut, a few years later. Shakespeare is dead already. Joe and Nicky go to a theater to watch one of his plays. And right in the middle of it Joe jumps up and starts yelling at the actors. Nicky drags him out and asks him what's up... turns out that a few of Shakespeare's most famous lines were actually from Joe and the Bard "stole" them.
And now, every time someone mentions Shakespeare and his genius, it drives Joe up the wall because the "little thief" gets all the credit for Joe's words :D
