And so will he do; for the man doth fear God,
howsoever it seems not in him by some large jests
he will make. Well I am sorry for your niece. Shall
we go seek Benedick, and tell him of her love? |
 |
Never tell him, my lord: let her wear it out with
good counsel. |
 |
Nay, that's impossible: she may wear her heart out first. |
 |
Well, we will hear further of it by your daughter:
let it cool the while. I love Benedick well; and I
could wish he would modestly examine himself, to see
how much he is unworthy so good a lady. |
 |
My lord, will you walk? dinner is ready |
 |
If he do not dote on her upon this, I will never
trust my expectation. |
 |
Let there be the same net spread for her; and that
must your daughter and her gentlewomen carry. The
sport will be, when they hold one an opinion of
another's dotage, and no such matter: that's the
scene that I would see, which will be merely a
dumb-show. Let us send her to call him in to dinner. |

This can be no trick: the
conference was sadly borne. They have the truth of
this from Hero. They seem to pity the lady: it
seems her affections have their full bent. Love me!
why, it must be requited. I hear how I am censured:
they say I will bear myself proudly, if I perceive
the love come from her; they say too that she will
rather die than give any sign of affection. I did
never think to marry: I must not seem proud: happy
are they that hear their detractions and can put
them to mending. They say the lady is fair; 'tis a
truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
so, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving
me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor
no great argument of her folly, for I will be
horribly in love with her. I may chance have some
odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me,
because I have railed so long against marriage: but
doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat
in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of
the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?
No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would
die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I
were married. Here comes Beatrice. By this day!
she's a fair lady: I do spy some marks of love in
her. |
 |
Against my will I am... |
 |
... |
 |
"...sent" |
 |
What? |
 |
Your line. "Against my will I am sent..." |
 |
I know the blasted line! Listen: I really don't see
why I have to do this. It's...demeaning! |
 |
Come on, Youngblood, just think of it as
"historically accurate." |
 |
I just don't see why it has to be me. |
 |
Because I said so, and because I will beat your head
in with a pick-axe. Again. |
 |
... |
 |
Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner. |
 |
Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains. |

That One Act of Shakespeare trophy is
ours this year. Bitches ain't ever gonna know what hit 'em. |

Yo, esse, he ain't playin' Hero too, is
he? Cause I ain't kissin' no dude. |
