:27:02
If I do not put on a sober habit, talk with
respect, and swear but now and then,

:27:07
look demurely,
nay more, while grace is saying,

:27:10
hood mine eyes thus with my hat
:27:13
and sigh and say, "Amen,"
never trust me more.

:27:16
Well, we shall see your bearing.
:27:22
Oof!
:27:26
Nay, but I bar tonight.
:27:28
You shall not gauge me
by what we do tonight.

:27:36
God bless your worship.
:27:39
Signior Bassanio.
:27:41
Many thanks.
:27:42
Would you something from me?
:27:46
- Here is my son, sir, a poor boy.
- Not a poor boy, sir,

:27:49
but the rich Jew"s man that would, sir,
:27:53
as my father shall specify.
:27:55
He hath a great infection, sir,
as one would say, to serve.

:27:59
Indeed, sir. The short and the long is,
:28:01
I serve the Jew, and have a desire,
as my father shall specify.

:28:10
To be brief, the very truth is, as my father,
being an old man, shall fruitify unto you...

:28:16
I have here a dish of doves
I would bestow upon your worship.

:28:20
And my suit is...
:28:21
In very brief,
the suit is impertinent to myself,

:28:24
as your worship shall know
by this honest old man.

:28:27
And, though I say it, though old man,
yet poor man, my father.

:28:32
One speak for both. What would you?
:28:38
- Serve you, sir.
- That is the very defect of the matter, sir.

:28:41
You have obtained your suit,
:28:44
if it be preferment
to leave a rich Jew"s service

:28:47
to become the follower
of so poor a gentleman.

:28:49
The old proverb is very well parted
between my master Shylock and you, sir.

:28:54
You have the grace of God, sir,
and he has enough.
