Converted back into text, this is (not a complete conversion):
Lady M. Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
Summary: Lady Macbeth has been driven insane by the guilt of the murders of King Duncan, and keeps trying to wash imaginary blood from her hands. Macbeth asks her doctor if he can treat her mental illness; the doctor says that in such cases the patient must heal himself.
