:15:01
Well...
:15:04
May you help me? Will you pleasure me?
:15:07
Should I know your answer?
:15:11
Three thousand ducats for three months,
:15:14
and Antonio bound.
:15:16
Your answer to that.
:15:19
Antonio is a good man.
:15:22
Have you heard any imputation
to the contrary?

:15:25
No. No, no, no, no. My meaning
in saying that he is a good man

:15:29
is to have you understand
that he is of good credit.

:15:34
Yet his means are in question.
:15:38
He hath a ship bound for Tripolis,
another to the Indies.

:15:42
I understand moreover, upon the Rialto,
he hath a third ship at Mexico,

:15:47
a fourth for England,
:15:50
and other ventures
he hath squandered abroad.

:15:54
But ships are but boards,
:15:57
sailors are but men,
:16:00
there be land rats and water rats,
:16:02
water thieves and land thieves.
:16:07
I mean pirates.
:16:10
Then there is the peril of waters,
winds and rocks.

:16:13
The man is, notwithstanding,
of good credit.

:16:19
Three thousand ducats.
:16:22
I think I may take his bond.
:16:26
- Be assured you may.
- May I speak with Antonio?

:16:29
If it please you, dine with us.
:16:31
Yes, to smell pork,
:16:33
to eat of the habitation which your prophet
the Nazarite conjured the devil into.

:16:39
I will buy with you, sell with you, walk
with you, talk with you, and so following,

:16:45
but I will not eat with you,
nor drink with you,

:16:47
nor pray with you.
:16:49
Who is he comes here?
:16:51
This is Signior Antonio. Antonio!
:16:54
Antonio.
:16:59
How like a fawning publican he looks.
