:13:05
Therefore the lottery, that he devised
:13:06
in these three chests
of gold and silver and lead,

:13:10
so that who chooses his meaning
chooses you,

:13:12
will no doubt only be guessed, rightly,
by someone who you shall rightly love.

:13:18
Right.
:13:20
What warmth is there
in your affection

:13:23
towards any of these princely suitors
that are already come?

:13:26
Pray name them, and
as you name them I will describe them,

:13:29
and, according
to my description, level at my affection.

:13:33
How say you of the French lord,
Monsieur Le Bon?

:13:37
Oh, God.
:13:39
God made him,
and therefore let him pass for a man.

:13:42
I know it is a sin to be a mocker, but he...!
:13:45
What say you to Falconbridge,
the young baron of England?

:13:48
How oddly he"s suited!
:13:52
And the Duke of Saxony"s nephew?
:13:56
Very vilely in the morning
when he is sober,

:14:00
and most vilely in the afternoon
when he is drunk.

:14:03
O Nerissa!
:14:04
Wait! Wait.
:14:06
If he should offer to choose,
and choose the right casket,

:14:10
you should refuse to perform your father"s
will if you should refuse to accept him.

:14:15
Therefore, for fear of the worst, I pray thee,
:14:18
set a deep glass of Rhenish wine
on the contrary casket.

:14:22
I will do anything, Nerissa,
ere I will be married to a sponge.

:14:40
Three thousand ducats.
:14:43
Well.
:14:45
Ay, sir, for three months.
:14:47
For three months?
:14:52
- Well...
- For which, as I told you,

:14:54
Antonio shall be bound.
:14:56
Antonio shall be bound?
