Is MOPI really a riff on H:IV:I?

Yep. Keanu's the Hal figure, and William Richert (as Bob) is Falstaff, IIRC.

It goes beyond that, in the Hal saga...

From IMDB, a quote re: Bob from one of the other characters in MOPI, Jane Lightwork:

I'm the one who heard him cry out last night. He said "God, God, God..." three or four times. And when I got there I put my hand into the bed and felt his feet. And they were cold as stone. And I checked the rest of his body. And it too was as cold as stone...

...compared to a quote re: Falstaff from Mistress Quickly in the Bard's Henry V (Act II, Scene III):

(...) So a' cried out 'God, God, God!' three or four times. (...) I put my hand into the bed and felt them, and they were as cold as any stone; then I felt to his knees, and they were as cold as any stone, and so upward and upward, and all was as cold as any stone.
