Stupid Is As Stupid Doeth

So Denzel has spoken out against cellphones at the theatre. See?.

And he says that he's figured out a line in iambic pentameter to use on anyone whose phone rings during the show:

"One of these days I'm going to respond in iambic pentameter: 'Answereth that, my lord. My lord, it is for you.'"

Um, Denzel? Iambic pentameter only has 10 syllables.

Plus, "answereth" is 3rd person singular indicative. 2nd person singular imperative would just be "answer."
