"Never to speak of this that you have heard", by which he means the appearance of the ghost, although Horatio heard nothing from the ghost's lips. Also, "How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself . . .that you, at such times seeing me, never shall . . . note that you know aught of me."

Why does hamlet speak to horatio in the manner he does?
Hamlet is under a lot of pressure to hide his emotions and put on an act for people. Ophelia pushes his buttons in such a way that he explodes and all of that emotion is set loose, causing him to speak to her in a vulgar manner. This scene was put in the play to show how well Hamlet can hide his true feelings, but also illustrate that it is a matter of time until he snaps.

Who is hamlet's confidante and the narrator of the play?
There is no 'narrator of the play". In some plays we see actors doing the actions while a narrator tells us what is going on. Our Town, for example, or anything written for Grade Two students. Hamlet is not that kind of play. Hamlet does have a special friend in Horatio, in who he confides, which makes him a confidant (unless he is being played as a woman, in which case she would be a confidante) and who he asks, as he dies, to "tell my story". Horatio asks Fortinbras to "let me speak to the yet unknowing world how these things came about" and Fortinbras says "Let us haste to hear it", but the play ends before Horatio narrates anything, mostly because we have seen everything which has happened and it would be boring to hear it all again. (That didn't stop Shakespeare in plays like Cymbeline or Twelfth Night, however.)
