P:Have you brought anything to weigh the flesh?
S:Yes.I have everything ready here.
P:Do you have a doctor,Shylock,to stop Antonio's blood?
S:Can be no agreement on this one.
B:That fox!
P:Do you wish to say anything,Antonio?
A:Only a little.Goodbye Bassanio.Don't be sad for me.Tell your wife about me and how much I loved you.If Shylock cuts deep enough.I'll pay him back with all my heart.
B:Let me take you in my arms and say goodbye.I love you more than my own life,more than my wife,and more than all the world.(He cries.)
P:Your wife would not be pleased to hear you say that.
S:We are wasting time.
P:Take your pound of flesh!I declare the court allows it and the law gives it to you.
(Shylock advances towards Antonio and prepares to use his knife.)
P:Wait!There is something else,Antonio has promised to give you a pound of his flesh.But he has not promised to give you any of his blood.If you let one drop of his blood fall,you will lose all your land and all your money.
S:Is that the law?
P:That is the law.You wanted justice,so you shall get justice,more than you wanted.
S:I will take the money.Give me three more than Antonio borrowed from me.
B:Here it is.(He cries out,full of joy.)
P:Wait!Shylock would not take the money earlier.All he wanted was right to be done.That is all he can have now you must cut off one pound of flesh,no more,no less.And not one drop of blood must fall.
