One of the things that I never assigned particular significance to before seeing a live production of this play is that Poins and Hal role-play as Hotspur and Kate.
BUT. BUT. THIS IS HOW THE TEXT ACTUALLY GOES:
I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the north; he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work.' 'O my sweet Harry,' says she, 'how many hast thou killed to-day?' 'Give my roan horse a drench,' says he; and answers 'Some fourteen,' an hour after; 'a trifle, a trifle.' I prithee, call in Falstaff: I'll play Percy, and that damned brawn shall play Dame Mortimer his wife.
SO HAL REALLY WANTS TO ROLE PLAY AS HOTSPUR AND KATE WITH FALSTAFF.
