- Enough!
- Lucentio!

:30:14
Pray, have you not a daughter
CalI'd Katharina, fair and virtuous?

:30:22
I have a daughter, sir, calI'd Katharine.
:30:26
And I, sir, if I get your daughter's love,
What dowry shall I have with her as wife?

:30:31
Nay, nay! You are too blunt, go to it orderly.
:30:36
But whence are you?
:30:39
What may I call your name?
:30:42
Signor Baptista, my business asketh haste,
And every day I cannot come to woo.

:30:48
I am a gentleman of Verona, sir,
That hearing of her beauty and her wit,

:30:51
Her affability and gentle modesty,
Her wondrous qualities and mild behaviour,

:30:56
Am bold to show myself a forward guest
Within your house,

:31:00
To make mine eye the witness
Of that report I have so often heard.

:31:04
Petruchio is my name, Antonio's son,
A man well known throughout all ltaly.

:31:12
Now, sir... if I get your daughter's love,
What dowry shall I have with her as wife?

:31:23
After my death...
:31:27
the one half of my lands,
:31:31
And in possession...
:31:36
twenty thousand crowns.
:31:39
Saving your tale, Petruchio, I pray
Let us that are poor petitioners speak too.

:31:44
And... for that dowry I'll assure her of
Her widowhood, be it that she survive me,

:31:52
With all my lands and leases whatsoever.
