The Merchant of Venice

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Usurer!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52"If a man is righteous, and does what is lawful and right,

0:01:52 > 0:01:56"if he has not exacted usury nor taken any increase

0:01:56 > 0:01:59"but has withdrawn his hand from all iniquity

0:01:59 > 0:02:02"and executed true judgement between men and men,

0:02:02 > 0:02:06"if he has walked in my statutes

0:02:06 > 0:02:08"and kept my judgement faithfully,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11"then he is just and he shall surely live.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15"But if he has exacted usury and taken increase,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17"shall he then live?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18"No, he shall not live.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22If he has done any of these abominations...

0:02:22 > 0:02:25"he shall surely die, says the Lord our God."

0:02:27 > 0:02:29And yet you live from day to day by theft and robbery...

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Antonio.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45LATIN MASS IS SUNG

0:03:09 > 0:03:14SINGING IN LATIN CONTINUES

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Antonio.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Bassanio.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Wind's coming back, sir!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Signior Lorenzo.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42CHANTING IN HEBREW

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Jessica.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51In truth, I know not why I am so sad.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54It wearies me.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57You say it wearies you.

0:05:57 > 0:06:03And such a wantwit sadness makes of me that I have much ado to know myself.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Your mind is tossing on the ocean.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Believe me, sir, had I such venture forth,

0:06:09 > 0:06:13the better part of my affection would be with my hopes abroad.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18I should be still plucking the grass to know where sits the wind,

0:06:18 > 0:06:22peering in maps for ports and piers and roads.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26And every object that might make me fear misfortune to my ventures

0:06:26 > 0:06:28out of doubt would make me sad.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32My wind, cooling my broth, would blow me to a fever

0:06:32 > 0:06:35if I thought what harm a wind too great might do at sea.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Believe me...no. - Why, then you're in love.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41THEY LAUGH

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Fie, fie, fie!

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Not in love either?

0:06:49 > 0:06:54Then let us say you are sad because you are not merry.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Here comes my lord Bassanio.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Good morrow, my good lord.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Good signiors. When shall we laugh? Say when.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09We shall make our leisures to fit in with yours.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Bassanio.- Signior.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18My lord Bassanio, since you have found Antonio, we too will leave you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23You look not well, Signior Antonio.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28You have too much respect upon the world.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31They lose it that do buy it with much care.

0:07:31 > 0:07:37I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano, a stage where every man

0:07:37 > 0:07:41must play his part, and mine a sad one.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Come, good Lorenzo.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Fare thee well awhile.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'll end my exhortation after dinner.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Fare thee well.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02more than any man in all of Venice.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well?

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Tell me now...

0:08:29 > 0:08:33..that which today you promised to tell me of.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45'Tis not unknown to you, Antonio, how much I have disabled mine estate,

0:08:45 > 0:08:49but my chief care is to come squarely out of the great debts

0:08:49 > 0:08:52wherein my youth...

0:08:53 > 0:08:57..something too prodigal, has left me pledged.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03To you, Antonio, I owe the most in money and in love,

0:09:03 > 0:09:09and from your love I have a warranty to unburden all my plots and purposes

0:09:09 > 0:09:12how to get clear of all the debts I owe.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Pray, good Bassanio, let me know it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21And, if it stand...

0:09:23 > 0:09:27..as you yourself still do, within the eye of honour,

0:09:27 > 0:09:33be assured my purse, my person, my extremest means

0:09:33 > 0:09:35lie all unlocked to your occasion.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44In Belmont is a lady richly left and she is fair...

0:09:46 > 0:09:51..and fairer than that word of wondrous virtues.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Sometimes, from her eyes I did receive fair...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59..speechless messages.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Her name is Portia, no less a beauty than Cato's daughter, Brutus' Portia.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth,

0:10:08 > 0:10:13for the four winds blow in from every coast renowned suitors.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18O my Antonio...

0:10:19 > 0:10:23..had I but the means to hold a rival place with one of them...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29..then I should questionless be fortunate.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thou knowest my fortunes are at sea.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Neither have I money nor commodity to raise a present sum.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Therefore, go forth.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Try what my credit can in Venice do.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06It shall be racked, even to the uttermost,

0:11:06 > 0:11:10to furnish you to Belmont, and fair Portia.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32I swear to you, Nerissa, I am aweary of this great world.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34You would be, sweet madam,

0:11:34 > 0:11:38if your miseries were as plentiful as your good fortunes are.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43And yet, from what I see, they are as sick that have it in excess

0:11:43 > 0:11:45as those that starve with nothing.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48If doing were as easy as knowing what were good to do,

0:11:48 > 0:11:53chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59But this reasoning is not in the way to choose me a husband.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01O me, the word "choose"!

0:12:01 > 0:12:05I may neither choose who I would nor refuse who I dislike.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10So is the will of a living daughter ruled by a dead father.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19Is it not hard, Nerissa, that I cannot choose one nor refuse none?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Your father was always virtuous,

0:12:24 > 0:12:29and holy men, at their death, have good inspirations.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Therefore the lottery that he devised

0:12:32 > 0:12:35in these three chests of gold and silver and lead,

0:12:35 > 0:12:38so that who chooses his meaning chooses you,

0:12:38 > 0:12:40will no doubt only be guessed, rightly,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42by someone who you shall rightly love.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Right.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48What warmth is there in your affection

0:12:48 > 0:12:52towards any of these princely suitors that are already come?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Pray name them, and as you name them I will describe them,

0:12:55 > 0:12:58and, according to my description, level at my affection.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02How say you of the French lord, Monsieur Le Bon?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Oh, God!

0:13:04 > 0:13:08God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I know it is a sin to be a mocker, but he...!

0:13:10 > 0:13:14What say you to Falconbridge, the young baron of England?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17How oddly he's suited!

0:13:17 > 0:13:20And the Duke of Saxony's nephew?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Very vilely in the morning when he is sober,

0:13:24 > 0:13:28and most vilely in the afternoon when he is drunk.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29O Nerissa!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Wait! Wait.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35If he should offer to choose, and choose the right casket,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38you should refuse to perform your father's will

0:13:38 > 0:13:39if you should refuse to accept him.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Therefore, for fear of the worst,

0:13:42 > 0:13:47I pray thee, set a deep glass of Rhenish wine on the contrary casket.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52I will do anything, Nerissa, ere I will be married to a sponge.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Three thousand ducats.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Well...

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Ay, sir, for three months.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10For three months?

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Well...

0:14:15 > 0:14:18For which, as I told you, Antonio shall be bound.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Antonio shall be bound?

0:14:24 > 0:14:25Well...

0:14:25 > 0:14:27May you help me?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Will you pleasure me?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Should I know your answer?

0:14:33 > 0:14:38Three thousand ducats for three months, and Antonio bound.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Your answer to that.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Antonio is a good man.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Have you heard any imputation to the contrary?

0:14:47 > 0:14:48No.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50No, no, no, no.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53My meaning in saying that he is a good man is to have you understand

0:14:53 > 0:14:55that he is of good credit.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Yet his means are in question.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04He hath a ship bound for Tripolis, another to the Indies.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07I understand moreover, upon the Rialto,

0:15:07 > 0:15:10he hath a third ship at Mexico, a fourth for England...

0:15:12 > 0:15:15..and other ventures he hath squandered abroad.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21But ships are but boards, sailors are but men,

0:15:21 > 0:15:27there be land rats and water rats, water thieves and land thieves.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I mean pirates.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36Then there is the peril of waters, winds and rocks.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39The man is, notwithstanding, of good credit.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Three thousand ducats.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I think I may take his bond.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Be assured you may.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51May I speak with Antonio?

0:15:51 > 0:15:53If it please you, dine with us.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Yes, to smell pork, to eat of the habitation

0:15:56 > 0:16:00which your prophet the Nazarite conjured the devil into.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06I will buy with you, sell with you, walk with you, talk with you,

0:16:06 > 0:16:10and so following, but I will not eat with you, nor drink with you,

0:16:10 > 0:16:11nor pray with you.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Who is he comes here?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16This is Signior Antonio. ..Antonio!

0:16:16 > 0:16:17Antonio.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24How like a fawning publican he looks.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Shylock!

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Shylock, do you hear?

0:16:28 > 0:16:33I am debating of my present store, and by the near guess of my memory,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37I cannot instantly raise up the gross of full three thousand ducats.

0:16:37 > 0:16:43But Tubal, a wealthy Hebrew of my tribe, will furnish me.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Benjamin.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Go, seek out Tubal.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49But soft, how many months?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Rest you fair, good signior.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Your worship was the last man in our mouths.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Is he possessed how much you would?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Ay, ay, three thousand ducats.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04And for three months.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Ah, I forgot. Three months, you told me so.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09But soft, erm...

0:17:11 > 0:17:14methought you said you neither lend nor borrow with interest.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17I do never use it.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Well.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Three thousand ducats, 'tis a good round sum.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Launcelot!

0:17:35 > 0:17:37The rates.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Three months...

0:17:45 > 0:17:46from twelve.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Let me see the rate.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Well, Shylock... shall we be beholden to you?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Signior Antonio...

0:18:14 > 0:18:18many a time, and oft in the Rialto,

0:18:18 > 0:18:23you have reviled me about my moneys and my usances.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Still, I have borne it with a patient shrug,

0:18:27 > 0:18:31for sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,

0:18:36 > 0:18:39and spit upon my Jewish gabardine.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43And all for use of that which is my own.

0:18:43 > 0:18:49Well, it now appears you need my help.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55You come to me and you say, "Shylock, we would have money."

0:18:55 > 0:18:56You say so.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00You, that did void your rheum upon my beard

0:19:00 > 0:19:05and kick me as you spurn a stranger cur over your threshold.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Money is your suit.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08What should I say to you?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Should I not say, "Hath a dog money?

0:19:14 > 0:19:19"Is it possible a cur can lend three thousand ducats?"

0:19:19 > 0:19:24Or shall I bend low and, in a slavish voice, with bated breath

0:19:24 > 0:19:26and whispering humbleness say this,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29"Fair sir, you spat on me on Wednesday last,

0:19:29 > 0:19:33"you spurned me such a day, another time you called me dog.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36"For these courtesies, I'll lend you thus much moneys."

0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm as like to call you so again,

0:19:38 > 0:19:40to spit on you again, to spurn you too.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43If you would lend this money, lend it not unto your friends.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47For when did friendship take a breed for barren metal from his friend?

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Lend it rather to your enemy who, if he break,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52you may with better face exact the penalty.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Why, look how you storm.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57I would be friends with you and have your love.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Forget the stains that you have shamed me with.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Supply your present wants,

0:20:06 > 0:20:11and take not a drop of interest for my moneys...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13and you'll not hear me.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16This is kind I offer.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20This IS kindness.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21No...

0:20:21 > 0:20:24This kindness I will show.

0:20:27 > 0:20:33Go with me to a notary and seal me there your single bond.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35And in a merry sport,

0:20:35 > 0:20:40if you repay me not on such a day in such a place,

0:20:40 > 0:20:43such a sum or sums as are expressed in the condition,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46let the forfeit be nominated...

0:20:46 > 0:20:51for an equal pound of your fair flesh...

0:20:53 > 0:20:55..to be cut off

0:20:55 > 0:21:00and taken in what part of your body pleaseth me.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Content, i'faith.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21I'll seal to such a bond, and say there is much kindness in the Jew.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24You shall not seal such a bond for me.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'd rather live in my necessity.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Why, fear not, man.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I will not forfeit it.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Within these two months, that's a month before this bond expires,

0:21:34 > 0:21:39I do expect return of thrice three times the value of this bond.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42O Father Abraham, what these Christians are,

0:21:42 > 0:21:47whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect the thoughts of others.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I pray you, tell me this.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53If he should break his day, what should I gain

0:21:53 > 0:21:55by the exaction of the forfeiture?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58A pound of a man's flesh taken from a man

0:21:58 > 0:22:01is not so estimable, profitable neither,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04as flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11I say, to buy his favour, I extend this friendship.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14If he will take it, so.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15If not, adieu.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18And, for my love, I pray you, wrong me not.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Shylock...

0:22:25 > 0:22:27..I will seal unto this bond.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Dislike me not for my complexion,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47the shadowed livery of the burnished sun,

0:22:47 > 0:22:49to whom I am a neighbour and near bred.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Yallah! Yallah!

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Bring me the fairest creature northward born,

0:22:56 > 0:22:59where the sun's fire scarce thaws the icicles,

0:22:59 > 0:23:02and let us make incision for your love

0:23:02 > 0:23:06to prove whose blood is reddest, his or mine.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12I tell thee, lady, this aspect of mine hath feared the valiant.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13Yea, by my love I swear,

0:23:13 > 0:23:17the most regarded virgins of our clime have loved it too.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20LAUGHTER

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I would not change this hue,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28In terms of choice,

0:23:28 > 0:23:32I am not solely led by nice direction of a maiden's eyes.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Instead, the lottery of my destiny

0:23:34 > 0:23:36bars me the right of voluntary choosing.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40But if my father had not restrained me,

0:25:46 > 0:25:49You must not deny me I must go with you to Belmont.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Why, then you must.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55But hear thee, you are too wild, too rude, too bold of voice,

0:25:55 > 0:25:58things that become you happily enough

0:25:58 > 0:26:01and in such eyes as ours appears not false.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34hood mine eyes thus with my hat...

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Nay, but I bar tonight.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Many thanks.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Would you something from me?

0:27:32 > 0:27:34To be brief, the very truth is,

0:27:34 > 0:27:38as my father, being an old man, shall fruitify unto you...

0:27:38 > 0:27:41I have here a dish of doves I would bestow upon your worship.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43And my suit is... >

0:27:43 > 0:27:46In very brief, the suit is impertinent to myself,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49as your worship shall know by this honest old man.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53And, though I say it, though old man, yet poor man, my father.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56One speak for both. What would you?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Serve you, sir.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03That is the very defect of the matter, sir.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07You have obtained your suit, if it be preferment

0:28:07 > 0:28:09to leave a rich Jew's service

0:28:09 > 0:28:12to become the follower of so poor a gentleman.

1:10:17 > 1:10:21I freely told you all the wealth I had ran in my veins.

1:10:22 > 1:10:26I was a gentleman and then I told you true. And yet, dear lady,

1:10:26 > 1:10:29rating myself at nothing,

1:10:29 > 1:10:34you shall see how much I was a braggart.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38When I told you my estate was nothing,

1:10:38 > 1:10:42I should have then told you I was worse than nothing,

1:10:42 > 1:10:46for, indeed, I have engaged myself to a dear friend,

1:10:46 > 1:10:50who engaged my dear friend to his mere enemy...

1:10:51 > 1:10:54..to feed my means.

1:10:54 > 1:10:58Here is a letter, lady. The paper is the body of my friend,

1:10:58 > 1:11:02and every word in it a gaping wound issuing lifeblood.

1:11:02 > 1:11:08But is it true, Salerio? What, all his ventures failed? What, not one hit?

1:11:08 > 1:11:11From Tripolis, from Mexico, from England?

1:11:11 > 1:11:16Not one, my lord. Besides, it should appear that if he had the present money to discharge the Jew,

1:11:16 > 1:11:18he would not take it.

1:11:18 > 1:11:23He plies the duke at morning and at night and doth impeach the freedom of the state

1:11:23 > 1:11:27if they deny him justice. Twenty merchants, the duke himself

1:11:27 > 1:11:31and the magnificoes of greatest port have all persuaded with him,

1:11:31 > 1:11:37but none can drive him from the envious plea of forfeiture, of justice, and his bond.

1:11:39 > 1:11:42When I was with him,

1:11:42 > 1:11:46I have heard him swear to Tubal and to Cush, his countrymen,

1:11:46 > 1:11:50that he would rather have Antonio's flesh

1:11:50 > 1:11:53than twenty times the value of the sum that he did owe him.

1:11:53 > 1:11:56And I know, my lord,

1:11:56 > 1:11:59if law, authority and power deny not...

1:12:01 > 1:12:03..it will go hard with poor Antonio.

1:12:07 > 1:12:12- Is it your dear friend that is thus in trouble? - The dearest friend to me.

1:12:14 > 1:12:16What sum owes he the Jew?

1:12:18 > 1:12:20For me, 3,000 ducats.

1:12:22 > 1:12:24No more?

1:12:24 > 1:12:27Pay him 6,000 and deface the bond.

1:12:27 > 1:12:32Double 6,000 and then treble that before a friend of this description

1:12:32 > 1:12:36should lose a hair through Bassanio's fault.

1:12:37 > 1:12:40Let me hear the letter of your friend.

1:12:43 > 1:12:47"Sweet Bassanio, my ships have all miscarried, my creditors grow cruel,

1:12:47 > 1:12:51"my estate is very low.

1:12:51 > 1:12:56"My bond to the Jew is forfeit and since in paying it, it is impossible I should live,

1:12:56 > 1:12:59"all debts are cleared between you and I...

1:12:59 > 1:13:02"if I might but see you at my death.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05"Notwithstanding, use your pleasure.

1:13:05 > 1:13:10"If love do not persuade you to come, let not my letter."

1:13:12 > 1:13:14O love...

1:13:16 > 1:13:21Dispatch all business and be gone! First...

1:13:22 > 1:13:25..go with me to church and call me wife.

1:13:25 > 1:13:29Then away to Venice, to your friend.

1:13:31 > 1:13:35For never shall you lie by Portia's side with an unquiet soul.

1:13:37 > 1:13:40You shall have gold to pay the petty debt twenty times over.

1:13:40 > 1:13:45When it is paid, bring your true friend along.

1:13:47 > 1:13:52Meantime, myself and Nerissa will live as maids and widows.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56Come, away,

1:13:56 > 1:13:59for you shall hence

1:13:59 > 1:14:02upon your wedding day.

1:14:17 > 1:14:22Gaoler, look to him, tell me not of mercy.

1:14:22 > 1:14:26This is the fool lent out money gratis. Gaoler, look to him.

1:14:26 > 1:14:32- Hear me yet, good Shylock.- I'll have my bond. Speak not against my bond.

1:14:32 > 1:14:36I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond.

1:14:36 > 1:14:39You called me dog before you had a cause.

1:14:39 > 1:14:41But since I am a dog, beware my fangs.

1:14:41 > 1:14:44The duke will grant me justice.

1:14:44 > 1:14:50I do wonder, you wicked gaolers, you are so fond to come abroad with him at his request.

1:14:50 > 1:14:54- I pray you, hear me speak! - I'll have my bond, I will not hear you speak.

1:14:54 > 1:14:57I'll have my bond, therefore speak no more.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00I'll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool,

1:15:00 > 1:15:06to shake their head, relent and sigh and yield to Christian intercessors.

1:15:06 > 1:15:09I'll have no speaking, follow not.

1:15:09 > 1:15:11I will have my bond.

1:15:12 > 1:15:17It is the most impenetrable cur that ever kept with men.

1:15:17 > 1:15:19Let him alone.

1:15:20 > 1:15:24I'll follow him no more with bootless prayers.

1:15:27 > 1:15:30He seeks my life.

1:15:31 > 1:15:34His reason well I know.

1:15:34 > 1:15:39I'm sure the duke will never grant this forfeiture to hold!

1:15:39 > 1:15:42The duke cannot deny the course of law.

1:15:42 > 1:15:46For the commodity that strangers have with us in Venice, if it be denied,

1:15:46 > 1:15:50will much impeach the justice of the state.

1:15:51 > 1:15:53Therefore, go.

1:15:57 > 1:15:58Oh!

1:15:59 > 1:16:02These griefs and losses have so bated me

1:16:02 > 1:16:08that I shall hardly find a pound of flesh tomorrow for my bloody creditor.

1:16:09 > 1:16:14Pray God, Bassanio come to see me pay his debt.

1:16:14 > 1:16:17Then I care not.

1:16:28 > 1:16:31Madam, if you knew to whom you show this honour,

1:16:31 > 1:16:37how true a gentleman you send relief, how dear a lover of my lord your husband,

1:16:37 > 1:16:41I know you would be prouder of the work than customary kindness would allow you.

1:16:41 > 1:16:44I never did repent for doing good, I shall not now.

1:16:44 > 1:16:48For in companions that do converse and waste the time together

1:16:48 > 1:16:52there needs must be a like proportion of lineaments, of manners and of spirit.

1:16:54 > 1:16:58Which makes me think that this Antonio,

1:16:58 > 1:17:01being the bosom lover of my lord,

1:17:01 > 1:17:06must needs be like my lord. If it be so, how little is the cost I have bestowed

1:17:06 > 1:17:11in purchasing the semblance of my soul from out of this state of hellish cruelty.

1:17:11 > 1:17:16This comes too near the praising of myself. Therefore, no more of it. Hear other things.

1:17:16 > 1:17:22Lorenzo, I commit into your hands the husbandry and manage of my house until my lord's return.

1:17:22 > 1:17:26For my own part, I have towards heaven breathed a secret vow

1:17:26 > 1:17:30to live in prayer and contemplation, only attended by Nerissa here,

1:17:30 > 1:17:34- until my husband and her lord's return.- Madam, with all my heart, I shall obey you in all fair commands.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you.

1:17:37 > 1:17:42Go, speed to Padua, render this into my cousin's hands, old Bellario. Go!

1:17:51 > 1:17:53Is it not so, cousin Bellario?

1:18:07 > 1:18:09SINGING

1:18:11 > 1:18:14See, Jessica.

1:18:14 > 1:18:22Look how the floor of heaven is thick inlaid with patterns of bright gold.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25Is not the smallest orb that you behold

1:18:25 > 1:18:29but in his motion like an angel sings?

1:18:32 > 1:18:36Such harmony is in immortal souls.

1:18:36 > 1:18:41But whilst this muddy vesture of decay doth grossly close it in,

1:18:41 > 1:18:44we cannot hear it.

1:18:44 > 1:18:47Hm. I am never merry when I hear sweet music.

1:18:49 > 1:18:52The reason is your spirits are attentive.

1:18:52 > 1:18:54The man that hath no music in himself

1:18:54 > 1:18:58nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds

1:18:58 > 1:19:01is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04The motions of his spirit are as dull as night

1:19:04 > 1:19:07and his affections are as dark as Erebus.

1:19:07 > 1:19:10Let no such man be trusted.

1:19:11 > 1:19:13Mark the music.

1:19:13 > 1:19:18# Sweet rose... #

1:19:20 > 1:19:22We shall see our husbands before they think of us.

1:19:22 > 1:19:27- Shall they see us? - They shall, Nerissa,

1:19:27 > 1:19:32but in such a habit that they shall think we are accomplished with what we lack.

1:19:32 > 1:19:37I'll hold you any wager, when we are both accoutred like young men,

1:19:37 > 1:19:40I'll prove the prettier fellow of the two!

1:19:53 > 1:19:56Go one and call the Jew to the court.

1:19:58 > 1:20:01Make room and let him stand before our face.

1:20:09 > 1:20:11He is come, my lord.

1:20:29 > 1:20:33Shylock, the world thinks, and I think so, too,

1:20:33 > 1:20:39that you but lead'st this fashion of your malice to the last hour of the act

1:20:39 > 1:20:43and then 'tis thought you'll show your mercy and remorse,

1:20:43 > 1:20:48more strange than is your strange apparent cruelty.

1:20:48 > 1:20:52What say you, Jew? We all expect a gentle answer.

1:20:52 > 1:20:57I have informed your grace of what I purpose

1:20:57 > 1:21:05and by our holy Sabbath have I sworn to have the due and forfeit of my bond.

1:21:05 > 1:21:07If you deny it,

1:21:07 > 1:21:13let the danger light upon your charter and your city's freedom.

1:21:13 > 1:21:19You'll ask me why I rather choose to have a weight of human flesh

1:21:19 > 1:21:22than to receive three thousand ducats.

1:21:22 > 1:21:28I'll not answer that. But, say, it is my humour - is it answered?

1:21:29 > 1:21:33What if my house be troubled by a rat

1:21:33 > 1:21:37and I am pleased to give ten thousand ducats to have it killed?

1:21:38 > 1:21:41- What, are you answered yet?- No.

1:21:41 > 1:21:44Some men there are love not a gaping pig,

1:21:44 > 1:21:46some that are mad if they behold a cat,

1:21:46 > 1:21:51and others when the bagpipe sings in the nose cannot contain their urine.

1:21:51 > 1:21:54For affection, master of passion,

1:21:54 > 1:21:58sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.

1:21:58 > 1:22:03Now for your answer. As there is no firm reason to be rendered

1:22:03 > 1:22:05why he cannot abide a gaping pig,

1:22:05 > 1:22:08why he, a harmless, necessary cat,

1:22:08 > 1:22:11why he, a woollen bagpipe,

1:22:11 > 1:22:13but of force must yield to such inevitable shame

1:22:13 > 1:22:18as to offend himself being offended, so can I give no reason,

1:22:18 > 1:22:23nor will I not, more than a lodged hate

1:22:23 > 1:22:26and a certain loathing I bear Antonio,

1:22:26 > 1:22:29that I follow thus this losing suit against him.

1:22:32 > 1:22:35- Are you answered? - ALL: No!

1:22:40 > 1:22:45This is no answer, you unfeeling man, to excuse the current of your cruelty.

1:22:45 > 1:22:48I am not bound to please you with my answers.

1:22:48 > 1:22:52Do all men kill the things they do not love?

1:22:52 > 1:22:55Hates any man the thing he would not kill?

1:22:55 > 1:22:58Every offence is not a hate at first.

1:22:58 > 1:23:02You would have a serpent sting you twice?

1:23:03 > 1:23:05I pray you...

1:23:07 > 1:23:11..think...you question with the Jew.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16You may as well go stand upon the beach

1:23:16 > 1:23:22and bid the main flood lower its usual height.

1:23:24 > 1:23:27You may as well...

1:23:27 > 1:23:33question with the wolf why he has made the ewe bleat for the lamb.

1:23:33 > 1:23:37You may as well do anything most hard

1:23:37 > 1:23:40as seek to soften that

1:23:40 > 1:23:45than which what's harder, his Jewish heart.

1:23:47 > 1:23:51Therefore I do beseech you, make no more offers, use no farther means,

1:23:51 > 1:23:56but with all just and plain conveniency let me have judgement and the Jew his will.

1:23:56 > 1:23:58ALL: No!

1:24:00 > 1:24:03You loaned three thousand ducats.

1:24:05 > 1:24:07Here is six.

1:24:10 > 1:24:12THEY GASP

1:24:27 > 1:24:34If every ducat in six thousand ducats

1:24:34 > 1:24:39were in six parts, and every part a ducat,

1:24:39 > 1:24:44I would not draw them. I would have my bond.

1:24:44 > 1:24:47How shall you hope for mercy, giving none?

1:24:47 > 1:24:50What judgment should I fear, doing no wrong?

1:24:50 > 1:24:54You have among you many a purchased slave,

1:24:54 > 1:24:57which like your asses and your dogs and mules,

1:24:57 > 1:25:01you use in abject and in slavish parts because you bought them.

1:25:01 > 1:25:04Shall I say to you, "Let them be free"?

1:25:04 > 1:25:07Marry them to your heirs.

1:25:07 > 1:25:13Why sweat they under burdens? Let their beds be made as soft as yours.

1:25:13 > 1:25:17Their palates seasoned with your food.

1:25:17 > 1:25:20You will answer, "The slaves are ours."

1:25:21 > 1:25:24So do I answer you.

1:25:24 > 1:25:31The pound of flesh that I demand of him is dearly bought.

1:25:32 > 1:25:35'Tis mine.

1:25:36 > 1:25:39'Tis mine!

1:25:40 > 1:25:42'Tis mine.

1:25:44 > 1:25:46And I will have it.

1:25:47 > 1:25:52If you deny me, fie upon your law!

1:25:54 > 1:25:58There is no force in the decrees of Venice.

1:25:58 > 1:26:03I stand for judgment. Answer.

1:26:05 > 1:26:09- Shall I have it? - THEY GASP

1:26:09 > 1:26:12THEY ALL SHOUT

1:26:13 > 1:26:17Silence! Silence! Silence!

1:26:17 > 1:26:20Upon my power I may dismiss this court

1:26:20 > 1:26:25unless Bellario, a learned doctor that I have sent for to determine this, come here today.

1:26:25 > 1:26:27My lord!

1:26:28 > 1:26:32Here stays without a messenger with letters from the doctor new come from Padua.

1:26:37 > 1:26:40Come you from Padua, from old Bellario?

1:26:40 > 1:26:44From both, my lord. Bellario greets your grace.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46Why do you whet your knife so earnestly?

1:26:46 > 1:26:49To cut the forfeiture from that bankrupt there.

1:26:49 > 1:26:51Can no prayers pierce you?

1:26:51 > 1:26:54No, none that YOU have wit enough to make.

1:26:54 > 1:26:57Be you damned, inexecrable dog,

1:26:57 > 1:27:03- and for your life let justice be accused.- Till you can rail the seal from off my bond,

1:27:03 > 1:27:06you but offend your lungs to speak so loud.

1:27:06 > 1:27:10Prepare your wit, good youth, or it will fall to cureless ruin.

1:27:10 > 1:27:12I stand here for law.

1:27:12 > 1:27:14I stand for law!

1:27:14 > 1:27:17Silence! Silence!

1:27:18 > 1:27:24This letter does commend a young and learned doctor to our court.

1:27:24 > 1:27:29- Well, where is he?- He attendeth here hard by to know your answer, whether you'll admit him.

1:27:29 > 1:27:34Go, give him courteous conduct to this place. Meantime, the court shall hear Bellario's letter.

1:27:34 > 1:27:39"Your grace shall understand that at the receipt of your letter, I am very sick

1:27:39 > 1:27:43"but in the instant your messenger came there was with me a young doctor of Rome

1:27:43 > 1:27:47"whose name is Balthasar. He comes at my asking to take my place.

1:27:47 > 1:27:51"I beseech you, let his lack of years be no impediment,

1:27:51 > 1:27:54"for I never knew so young a body with so old a head.

1:27:54 > 1:27:57"I leave him to your gracious acceptance."

1:27:57 > 1:28:03You heard Bellario, what he writes. Oh, and here, I take it, is the doctor come.

1:28:03 > 1:28:06You are welcome.

1:28:06 > 1:28:08Take your place.

1:28:11 > 1:28:15Are you acquainted with the difference that holds this present question in the court?

1:28:15 > 1:28:21I am informed thoroughly of the case. Which is the merchant here, and which the Jew?

1:28:21 > 1:28:24Antonio and old Shylock, both stand forth.

1:28:28 > 1:28:34- Is your name Shylock? - Shylock...is my name.

1:28:43 > 1:28:50Of a strange nature is the suit you follow, yet in such rule that the Venetian law

1:28:50 > 1:28:53cannot deny you as you do proceed.

1:28:53 > 1:28:56You stand within his power, do you not?

1:28:56 > 1:28:59- Ay, so he says. - Do you confess the bond?

1:28:59 > 1:29:01I do.

1:29:03 > 1:29:06Then must the Jew be merciful.

1:29:06 > 1:29:10On what compulsion must I? Tell me that.

1:29:10 > 1:29:12The quality of mercy is not strained.

1:29:14 > 1:29:19It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.

1:29:19 > 1:29:21It is twice blessed.

1:29:21 > 1:29:26It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

1:29:26 > 1:29:29'Tis mightiest in the mighty.

1:29:29 > 1:29:33It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown.

1:29:33 > 1:29:36His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,

1:29:36 > 1:29:39the attribute to awe and majesty

1:29:39 > 1:29:43wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings.

1:29:44 > 1:29:49But mercy is above this sceptred sway.

1:29:50 > 1:29:54It is enthroned in the heart of kings.

1:29:55 > 1:29:58It is an attribute to God himself...

1:29:59 > 1:30:05..and earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice.

1:30:08 > 1:30:14Therefore, Jew, though justice be your plea, consider this.

1:30:16 > 1:30:20That in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation.

1:30:21 > 1:30:24We do pray for mercy

1:30:24 > 1:30:32and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.

1:30:35 > 1:30:39I have spoke thus much to mitigate the justice of your plea,

1:30:39 > 1:30:42which if you follow this strict course of Venice

1:30:42 > 1:30:46must needs give sentence against the merchant there.

1:30:48 > 1:30:50My deeds upon my head.

1:30:52 > 1:30:53I crave the law,

1:30:53 > 1:30:57the penalty and forfeit of my bond.

1:30:57 > 1:31:00Is he not able to discharge the money?

1:31:00 > 1:31:04Yes, here, I tender it for him in court,

1:31:04 > 1:31:05yea, twice the sum.

1:31:05 > 1:31:08If that is not enough, I will be bound to pay it ten times o'er

1:31:08 > 1:31:11on forfeit of my hands, my head, my heart!

1:31:11 > 1:31:15If this is not enough it must appear that malice bears down on truth. CROWD SHOUTS

1:31:15 > 1:31:18I beseech you, wrest once the law to your authority

1:31:18 > 1:31:19to do a great right, do a little wrong

1:31:19 > 1:31:21and curb this cruel devil of his will.

1:31:21 > 1:31:26It must not be. There is no power in Venice can alter a decree established.

1:31:26 > 1:31:28'Twill be recorded for a precedent

1:31:28 > 1:31:31and many an error of the same example will rush into the state.

1:31:31 > 1:31:35- It cannot be. - A Daniel come to judgment.

1:31:35 > 1:31:38- CROWD SHOUTS - Yea, a Daniel.

1:31:41 > 1:31:43O wise young judge, how I do honour you.

1:31:43 > 1:31:45I pray you, let me look upon the bond.

1:31:47 > 1:31:50Most reverend doctor, here it is.

1:32:11 > 1:32:16Shylock, there is twice the money offered you.

1:32:16 > 1:32:19An oath, an oath.

1:32:20 > 1:32:22I have an oath in heaven.

1:32:23 > 1:32:26Shall I lay perjury upon my soul?

1:32:26 > 1:32:29No. Not for Venice.

1:32:33 > 1:32:35Why, this bond is forfeit

1:32:35 > 1:32:39and lawfully at this time the Jew may claim a pound of flesh

1:32:39 > 1:32:44to be by him cut off nearest the merchant's heart.

1:32:45 > 1:32:46Be merciful.

1:32:46 > 1:32:51Take twice your money, bid me tear the bond.

1:32:51 > 1:32:54When it is paid, according to the terms.

1:32:57 > 1:33:00Most heartily I do beseech the court...

1:33:01 > 1:33:04..to give the judgment.

1:33:19 > 1:33:22Then thus it is.

1:33:22 > 1:33:23HE WHISPERS

1:33:23 > 1:33:26You must prepare your bosom for his knife.

1:33:26 > 1:33:28O noble judge...

1:33:30 > 1:33:31..excellent young man.

1:33:31 > 1:33:35For the intent and purpose of the law has full relation to the penalty

1:33:35 > 1:33:38which here appeareth due upon the bond.

1:33:38 > 1:33:41'Tis very true, O wise and upright judge.

1:33:41 > 1:33:44How much more elder are you than you look.

1:33:44 > 1:33:47- Therefore, lay bare your bosom. - Ay, his breast.

1:33:48 > 1:33:51So says the bond, does it not, noble judge?

1:33:51 > 1:33:53Nearest the heart.

1:33:53 > 1:33:56- Those are the very words. - It is so.

1:33:58 > 1:34:00Are there balances here to weigh the flesh?

1:34:00 > 1:34:04I have them...here.

1:34:19 > 1:34:21SHYLOCK SHARPENS BLADE

1:34:21 > 1:34:24Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge

1:34:24 > 1:34:27to stop his wounds lest he should bleed to death.

1:34:29 > 1:34:32Is it so nominated in the bond?

1:34:32 > 1:34:35It is not so expressed but what of that?

1:34:35 > 1:34:37'Twere good you do so much for charity.

1:34:37 > 1:34:41I cannot find it. 'Tis not in the bond.

1:34:47 > 1:34:50You, merchant, have you anything to say?

1:34:51 > 1:34:52But little.

1:34:57 > 1:34:58I am armed and well prepared.

1:35:01 > 1:35:03Give me your hand, Bassanio.

1:35:09 > 1:35:10Fare thee well.

1:35:12 > 1:35:15Grieve not that I am fallen to this for you.

1:35:16 > 1:35:19For herein doth Fortune show herself more kind than is her custom.

1:35:21 > 1:35:24Commend me to thy honourable wife.

1:35:25 > 1:35:28Tell her the process of Antonio's end.

1:35:28 > 1:35:30SHARPENS BLADE

1:35:31 > 1:35:35Say how I loved you, speak me fair in death.

1:35:36 > 1:35:39And when the tale is told,

1:35:39 > 1:35:43bid her be judge whether Bassanio had not once a love.

1:35:45 > 1:35:48Repent but you that you shall lose your friend..

1:35:50 > 1:35:52...and you repent not that he pays your debt.

1:35:52 > 1:35:57For if the Jew do cut but deep enough,

1:35:57 > 1:36:01I'll pay it instantly with all my heart.

1:36:04 > 1:36:08Antonio, I am married to a wife

1:36:08 > 1:36:14which is as dear to me as life itself.

1:36:14 > 1:36:18But life itself, my wife and all the world...

1:36:19 > 1:36:23..are not with me esteemed above your life.

1:36:24 > 1:36:28I would lose all, ay, sacrifice them all,

1:36:28 > 1:36:30here to this devil...

1:36:31 > 1:36:33..to deliver you.

1:36:35 > 1:36:38I have a wife, whom, I protest, I love. >

1:36:39 > 1:36:43I would she were in heaven, so she could entreat some power

1:36:43 > 1:36:45to change this cursed Jew!

1:36:45 > 1:36:47I have a daughter!

1:36:49 > 1:36:53Would that any of the stock of Barabbas been her husband

1:36:53 > 1:36:55rather than a Christian.

1:36:56 > 1:37:00We trifle time. I pray you, pursue sentence.

1:37:01 > 1:37:03You may proceed. >

1:37:05 > 1:37:08A pound of that same merchant's flesh is yours.

1:37:08 > 1:37:14- The court awards it and the law does give it.- Most rightful judge.

1:37:14 > 1:37:17And you must cut this flesh from off his breast.

1:37:19 > 1:37:22The court awards it and the law allows it.

1:37:22 > 1:37:23Most learned judge.

1:37:24 > 1:37:26A sentence.

1:37:27 > 1:37:29Come.

1:37:31 > 1:37:33Prepare.

1:37:40 > 1:37:43SHYLOCK SHARPENS BLADE

1:38:06 > 1:38:08- TARRY...- Aggh!- ..a little.

1:38:10 > 1:38:13There is something else.

1:38:15 > 1:38:20This bond does give you here no drop of blood.

1:38:21 > 1:38:25The words expressly are "a pound of flesh".

1:38:27 > 1:38:30Take then your bond, take then your pound of flesh,

1:38:30 > 1:38:36but in the cutting of it, if you do shed one drop of Christian blood...

1:38:38 > 1:38:42..your lands and goods are by the laws of Venice confiscate

1:38:42 > 1:38:44unto the state of Venice.

1:38:44 > 1:38:46O upright judge!

1:38:46 > 1:38:48Mark, Jew.

1:38:48 > 1:38:50Learned judge!

1:38:51 > 1:38:52Is that the law?

1:38:54 > 1:38:56Yourself shall see the act.

1:38:57 > 1:38:59For as you urge on justice,

1:38:59 > 1:39:03be assured you shall have justice more than you desire.

1:39:09 > 1:39:10Well...

1:39:14 > 1:39:17I take the offer, then.

1:39:19 > 1:39:21Pay the bond twice

1:39:21 > 1:39:24and let the Christian go.

1:39:25 > 1:39:29- Here is the money.- Soft. The Jew shall have all justice.

1:39:29 > 1:39:32No haste. He shall have nothing but the penalty.

1:39:34 > 1:39:37Therefore, prepare you to cut off the flesh.

1:39:38 > 1:39:40Shed then no blood

1:39:40 > 1:39:45nor cut you less nor more but just a pound of flesh.

1:39:46 > 1:39:49If you take more or less than a just pound

1:39:49 > 1:39:51be it but so much as makes it light or heavy

1:39:51 > 1:39:57in the substance or division of the twentieth part of one poor scruple,

1:39:57 > 1:40:01nay, if the scale do turn but in the estimation of a hair...

1:40:04 > 1:40:08..you die and all your goods are confiscate.

1:40:08 > 1:40:10A second Daniel!

1:40:10 > 1:40:12LAUGHTER

1:40:12 > 1:40:15Now, infidel, I have you on the hip!

1:40:15 > 1:40:16Why does the Jew pause?

1:40:19 > 1:40:22Shall I not have even my principal?

1:40:23 > 1:40:26You shall have nothing but your forfeiture,

1:40:26 > 1:40:28to be so taken at your peril, Jew.

1:40:28 > 1:40:31Why, then the devil give him good of it.

1:40:31 > 1:40:34- I'll stay no longer question. - Tarry, Jew.

1:40:34 > 1:40:36The law has yet another hold on you.

1:40:38 > 1:40:40It is enacted in the laws of Venice,

1:40:40 > 1:40:46if it be proved against an alien that by direct or indirect attempts

1:40:46 > 1:40:47he seek the life of any citizen,

1:40:47 > 1:40:50the party 'gainst which he does contrive

1:40:50 > 1:40:52shall seize one half of his goods.

1:40:52 > 1:40:56The other half comes to the privy coffer of the state...

1:40:58 > 1:41:05..and the offender's life lies in the mercy of the Duke only,

1:41:05 > 1:41:06'gainst all other voice.

1:41:14 > 1:41:17In which predicament, I say you stand.

1:41:20 > 1:41:23Down, therefore...

1:41:24 > 1:41:28..and beg mercy of the Duke.

1:41:40 > 1:41:43Beg that you may have leave to hang yourself.

1:41:45 > 1:41:48< That you shall see the difference in our spirit,

1:41:48 > 1:41:53< I pardon you your life before you ask it.

1:41:53 > 1:41:56For half your wealth, it is Antonio's,

1:41:56 > 1:41:58the other half shall come to the general state.

1:42:02 > 1:42:08Nay, take my life and all pardon not that.

1:42:09 > 1:42:14You take my house when you take the prop

1:42:14 > 1:42:16that doth sustain my house.

1:42:18 > 1:42:19You take my life...

1:42:21 > 1:42:25..when you take the means whereby I live.

1:42:25 > 1:42:28What mercy can you render him, Antonio?

1:42:28 > 1:42:31A halter gratis, nothing else, for God's sake.

1:42:33 > 1:42:39So please, my lord the Duke and all the court...

1:42:41 > 1:42:44..forego the fine of one half of his goods.

1:42:46 > 1:42:51I am content so he will let me use the other half, in trust...

1:42:52 > 1:42:54..relinquish it upon his death...

1:42:56 > 1:43:00..unto the gentleman that lately stole his daughter.

1:43:03 > 1:43:06One thing provided more, that, for this favour...

1:43:08 > 1:43:11..he shall presently become a Christian.

1:43:17 > 1:43:19SHYLOCK WHIMPERS

1:43:22 > 1:43:27He shall do this or else I do recant the pardon

1:43:27 > 1:43:29I late pronounced here.

1:43:36 > 1:43:38Are you contented, Jew?

1:43:46 > 1:43:47What do you say?

1:43:47 > 1:43:49Oh...

1:43:50 > 1:43:53I am contented.

1:43:53 > 1:43:57Clerk, prepare a deed of gift.

1:44:00 > 1:44:03I pray you, give me leave to go from hence.

1:44:03 > 1:44:06I... I am not well.

1:44:08 > 1:44:12I will... Send a deed after me and I will sign it.

1:44:12 > 1:44:15Get you gone, then, but do it.

1:44:20 > 1:44:22Court dismissed.

1:45:03 > 1:45:05PORTIA LAUGHS

1:45:05 > 1:45:06Most worthy gentleman,

1:45:06 > 1:45:09I and my friend have by your wisdom

1:45:09 > 1:45:12been this day acquitted of most grievous penalties,

1:45:12 > 1:45:15in lieu whereof, three thousand ducats, due unto the Jew

1:45:15 > 1:45:19- we freely pay your courteous pains withal.- Mm.

1:45:19 > 1:45:22And stand indebted, over and above,

1:45:22 > 1:45:25in love and service to you ever more.

1:45:27 > 1:45:29He is well paid that is well satisfied

1:45:29 > 1:45:31and I, delivering you, am satisfied

1:45:31 > 1:45:34and therein do account myself well paid. Fare you well.

1:45:34 > 1:45:37Dear sir, of force I must attempt you further.

1:45:37 > 1:45:41Take some remembrance of us, as a tribute, not as a fee.

1:45:41 > 1:45:44Run me two things, I pray you.

1:45:44 > 1:45:48Not to deny me and to pardon me.

1:45:50 > 1:45:53You press me far, therefore I will yield.

1:45:57 > 1:46:02Give me your gloves. I'll wear them for your sake.

1:46:03 > 1:46:05And for your love...

1:46:06 > 1:46:08I'll take this ring from you.

1:46:08 > 1:46:12Do not draw back your hand, I'll take no more,

1:46:12 > 1:46:14and you, in love, shall not deny me this.

1:46:14 > 1:46:17This ring... Good sir, alas, it is a trifle,

1:46:17 > 1:46:19I would not shame myself to give you this.

1:46:19 > 1:46:21I will have nothing else but only this.

1:46:21 > 1:46:25There's more depends on this than on the value.

1:46:25 > 1:46:28The dearest ring in all of Venice will I give to you,

1:46:28 > 1:46:30and find it out by proclamation,

1:46:30 > 1:46:33only for this, I pray you, pardon me.

1:46:35 > 1:46:36Oh, I see, sir.

1:46:36 > 1:46:40You are liberal in offers, you taught me first to beg,

1:46:40 > 1:46:43and now methinks you teach me how a beggar should be answered.

1:46:44 > 1:46:47This ring was given me by my wife.

1:46:47 > 1:46:49Oh!

1:46:49 > 1:46:53And when she put it on she made me vow that I should neither sell nor give...

1:46:54 > 1:46:56..nor lose it.

1:46:56 > 1:46:58That 'scuse serves many men to save their gifts

1:46:58 > 1:47:00and if your wife be not a madwoman,

1:47:00 > 1:47:03then know her well I have deserved this ring.

1:47:04 > 1:47:07She would not hold out enemy forever for giving it to me.

1:47:07 > 1:47:10My lord Bassanio, let him have the ring.

1:47:10 > 1:47:12Let not his deserving and my love as well

1:47:12 > 1:47:15be valued 'gainst your wife's commandment.

1:47:24 > 1:47:29Enquire the Jew's house out. Give him this deed and let him sign it.

1:47:29 > 1:47:35Ho! My lord Bassanio upon more advice has sent you here this ring.

1:47:35 > 1:47:37He does entreat your company at dinner.

1:47:37 > 1:47:39That cannot be.

1:47:40 > 1:47:45His ring I do accept most thankfully.

1:47:46 > 1:47:48I pray you tell him.

1:47:49 > 1:47:54Furthermore, I pray you show my youth to old Shylock's house.

1:47:54 > 1:47:55That will I do.

1:47:57 > 1:47:59I'll see if I can get my husband's ring

1:47:59 > 1:48:02which I did make him swear to keep forever.

1:48:34 > 1:48:36Dear ladies, welcome home.

1:48:36 > 1:48:40We have been praying for our husbands' welfare,

1:48:40 > 1:48:44whose speed we hope the better for our words.

1:49:02 > 1:49:05This night, methinks, is but the daylight sick.

1:49:07 > 1:49:08It looks a little paler.

1:49:09 > 1:49:13'Tis a day such as the day is when the sun is hid.

1:49:14 > 1:49:16Peace.

1:49:23 > 1:49:25You're welcome home, my lord.

1:49:25 > 1:49:27I thank you, madam. Give welcome to my friend.

1:49:27 > 1:49:32This is the man, this is Antonio to whom I am so infinitely bound.

1:49:32 > 1:49:35You should in all sense be much bound to him,

1:49:35 > 1:49:37for as I hear he was much bound for you.

1:49:37 > 1:49:40No more than I am well acquitted of.

1:49:41 > 1:49:43Sir, you are welcome to our house.

1:49:43 > 1:49:46It must appear in other ways than words,

1:49:46 > 1:49:50so I cut short this breathing courtesy.

1:49:57 > 1:50:00By yonder moon, I swear you do me wrong.

1:50:00 > 1:50:02In faith I gave it to the judge's clerk.

1:50:02 > 1:50:05Would he were gelded that had it, for my part,

1:50:05 > 1:50:07since you do take it, love, so much at heart.

1:50:07 > 1:50:11A quarrel, ho, already? What's the matter?

1:50:11 > 1:50:14About a hoop of gold, a paltry ring that she did give me,

1:50:14 > 1:50:20whose motto was for all the world like cutler's poetry upon a knife.

1:50:20 > 1:50:22"Love me and leave me not."

1:50:23 > 1:50:26What talk you of the motto or the value?!

1:50:26 > 1:50:28You swore to me when I did give it you

1:50:28 > 1:50:31that you would wear it till your hour of death

1:50:31 > 1:50:34and that it should lie with you in your grave.

1:50:34 > 1:50:36Though not for me yet for your vehement oaths

1:50:36 > 1:50:40you should have been respective and have kept it.

1:50:40 > 1:50:44- Gave it to a judge's clerk! - I gave it to a youth,

1:50:44 > 1:50:48a kind of boy, a little scrubbed boy, no higher than thyself,

1:50:48 > 1:50:49the judge's clerk.

1:50:49 > 1:50:52You were to blame, I must be plain with you,

1:50:52 > 1:50:56to part so slightly with your wife's first gift.

1:50:56 > 1:51:00I gave my love a ring and made him swear never to part with it.

1:51:01 > 1:51:03And here he stands.

1:51:05 > 1:51:07I dare be sworn for him, he would not lose it

1:51:07 > 1:51:12nor pluck it from his finger for all the wealth that the world masters.

1:51:12 > 1:51:15Why, I were best to cut my left hand off

1:51:15 > 1:51:18and swear I lost the ring defending it.

1:51:18 > 1:51:21- My lord Bassanio gave his ring away. - Hm?

1:51:21 > 1:51:25Unto the judge that begged it and indeed deserved it too.

1:51:26 > 1:51:28And then the boy, his clerk,

1:51:28 > 1:51:31< that took some pain in writing, he begged mine

1:51:31 > 1:51:35< and neither man nor master would take aught but the two rings.

1:51:36 > 1:51:39If I could add a lie onto a fault I would deny it

1:51:39 > 1:51:45but you see my finger has not the ring upon it, it is...gone.

1:51:45 > 1:51:50Even so void is your false heart of truth.

1:51:52 > 1:51:55By heaven, I will ne'er come into your bed

1:51:55 > 1:51:56until I see the ring.

1:51:56 > 1:51:59Nor I in yours till I again see mine.

1:52:00 > 1:52:05Sweet Portia, if you did know to whom I gave the ring,

1:52:05 > 1:52:07if you did know for whom I gave the ring,

1:52:07 > 1:52:10and would conceive for what I gave the ring

1:52:10 > 1:52:12and how unwillingly I left the ring

1:52:12 > 1:52:15when nought would be accepted but the ring,

1:52:15 > 1:52:18you would abate the strength of your displeasure.

1:52:19 > 1:52:24If you had known the virtue of the ring

1:52:24 > 1:52:29or half her worthiness who did give the ring,

1:52:29 > 1:52:32or your own honour to contain the ring,

1:52:32 > 1:52:35you would not then have parted with the ring.

1:52:36 > 1:52:38Nerissa teaches me what to believe.

1:52:38 > 1:52:41I'll die for it but some woman has that ring.

1:52:41 > 1:52:45No, by my honour, madam, by my soul, no woman had it

1:52:45 > 1:52:49but a civil doctor, which did refuse three thousand ducats of me

1:52:49 > 1:52:51and begged the ring the which I did refuse him,

1:52:51 > 1:52:54and suffered him, displeased, to go away,

1:52:54 > 1:52:58even he that had held up the very life of my dear friend.

1:52:58 > 1:53:01What should I say, sweet lady?

1:53:05 > 1:53:06I was enforced to send it after him.

1:53:06 > 1:53:09Let not that doctor come near my house.

1:53:09 > 1:53:11Since he has got the jewel that I loved

1:53:11 > 1:53:14and that which you did swear to keep for me,

1:53:16 > 1:53:18I will become as liberal as you.

1:53:21 > 1:53:23I'll not deny him anything I have.

1:53:23 > 1:53:28No, not since my body, nor my husband's bed,

1:53:28 > 1:53:30know him I shall, I am sure of that.

1:53:30 > 1:53:33Portia, forgive me this enforced wrong

1:53:33 > 1:53:36and in the hearing of these many friends,

1:53:36 > 1:53:39I swear to you, even by thine own fair eyes,

1:53:39 > 1:53:41I never more will break an oath with thee.

1:53:41 > 1:53:45I once did lend my body for his wealth.

1:53:45 > 1:53:49I dare be bound again, my soul upon the forfeit,

1:53:49 > 1:53:52that your lord...

1:53:55 > 1:53:59..will never more break faith advisedly.

1:54:00 > 1:54:04Then you shall be his surety.

1:54:05 > 1:54:08Give him this.

1:54:09 > 1:54:12And bid him keep it better than the other.

1:54:17 > 1:54:20My lord Bassanio, swear to keep this ring.

1:54:27 > 1:54:32By heaven, 'tis the same I gave the doctor.

1:54:32 > 1:54:33I had it of him.

1:54:33 > 1:54:40Pardon me, Bassanio, for, by this ring, the doctor lay with me.

1:54:41 > 1:54:47And pardon me, my gentle Gratiano, for that same scrubbed boy, the doctor's clerk,

1:54:47 > 1:54:51in lieu of this last night did lie with me.

1:54:56 > 1:54:57Why...

1:54:57 > 1:54:59WOMEN LAUGH

1:54:59 > 1:55:03This is like the mending of the highways in summer,

1:55:03 > 1:55:04when the ways are fair enough.

1:55:08 > 1:55:13What, are we cuckolds ere we have deserved it?

1:55:13 > 1:55:15Speak not so grossly.

1:55:16 > 1:55:18You are all amazed.

1:55:19 > 1:55:21Bassanio...

1:55:22 > 1:55:27Here is a letter, it comes from Padua, from old Bellario.

1:55:31 > 1:55:36There you shall read that Portia was the doctor,

1:55:36 > 1:55:40Nerissa there her clerk.

1:55:40 > 1:55:44Lorenzo here shall witness I set forth as soon as you

1:55:44 > 1:55:47and only just now returned.

1:55:53 > 1:55:57Were you the doctor and I knew you not?

1:56:01 > 1:56:06Were you the clerk that is to make me a cuckold?

1:56:06 > 1:56:10Ay, but the clerk that never means to do it

1:56:10 > 1:56:12unless he live to be a man.

1:56:16 > 1:56:17Sweet doctor...

1:56:19 > 1:56:21..you shall be my bedfellow.

1:56:21 > 1:56:25When I am absent, then lie with my wife.

1:56:32 > 1:56:34How now, Lorenzo?

1:56:35 > 1:56:38My clerk has some good comforts too for you.

1:56:38 > 1:56:42Ay, there do I give to you and Jessica

1:56:42 > 1:56:44from the rich Jew >

1:56:44 > 1:56:47a special deed of gift after his death >

1:56:47 > 1:56:50of all he dies possessed of. >

1:56:50 > 1:56:57Oh! Fair ladies, you drop manna in the way of starved people.

1:57:01 > 1:57:03It is almost morning

1:57:03 > 1:57:11and yet, I am sure you are not satisfied with these events at full.

1:57:12 > 1:57:14Let us go in.

1:57:16 > 1:57:20And I will answer all things faithfully.

1:57:28 > 1:57:30Well, let it be so.

1:57:30 > 1:57:34The first inter'gatory that my Nerissa shall be sworn on

1:57:34 > 1:57:38is whether till the next night she had rather stay

1:57:38 > 1:57:41or go to bed now, being two hours today.

1:57:41 > 1:57:44But were the day come, I should wish it dark

1:57:44 > 1:57:47till I were couching the doctor's clerk.

1:57:47 > 1:57:51Well, while I live I'll fear no other thing

1:57:51 > 1:57:54so sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring.

1:57:54 > 1:57:56THEY LAUGH

1:57:58 > 1:58:05# The world was all before them

1:58:05 > 1:58:13# Ahhhhhh

1:58:13 > 1:58:20# Where to choose their place of rest

1:58:20 > 1:58:28# Ahhhhhh

1:58:28 > 1:58:32# And Providence their guide

1:58:32 > 1:58:35# They hand in hand

1:58:35 > 1:58:42# Took their wand'ring steps

1:58:42 > 1:58:46# And slow

1:58:46 > 1:58:51# Through Eden

1:58:51 > 1:58:57# Took their solitary way

1:58:57 > 1:59:03# Ahhhhhh

2:00:02 > 2:00:06# The ring is on my hand

2:00:06 > 2:00:11# And the wreath is on my brow

2:00:11 > 2:00:15# Satin and jewels grand

2:00:15 > 2:00:20# Are all at my command

2:00:20 > 2:00:27# And I am happy now

2:00:30 > 2:00:35# And my lord, he loves me well

2:00:35 > 2:00:39# But when first he breathed his vow

2:00:39 > 2:00:43# I felt my bosom swell

2:00:43 > 2:00:47# For the words rang as a knell

2:00:47 > 2:00:51# And the voice seemed his who fell

2:00:51 > 2:00:55# In the battle down the dell

2:00:55 > 2:01:00# And who is happy now? #
