@Tiresias21: it could still be a reference to Macbeth, although I don't buy the rest of yoshiary's analysis.
Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
As You Like It does fit better, but this is evidently what yoshiary was thinking of. I think it's hilarious that Rivers (the English graduate he is) calls Shakespeare "somebody".
