Much Ado About Nothing (1993) Soundboard Edit

A college of wit crackers cannot flout me out of my humour.

A miracle!

All this amazement can I qualify.

And be you blithe and bonny

And I gave him use for it

And I praise God for you.

And I pray thee now,

And if a merry meeting may be wished,

And if your love can labour aught in sad invention,

And love my cousin.

And moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle's.

And one on shore

And publish it that she is dead indeed.

And shall, or some of us will smart for it.

And she alone is heir to both of us.

And there live we as merry as the day is long.

Awe a man from the career of his humour?

Behold how like a maid she blushes here! Would you not swear, all you that see her,

Being no other but as she is, I do not like her.

Benedick...

But I pray you both, possess the people in Messina here how innocent she died.

But let them go

But let them go

But which are the offenders that are to be examined?

But yet for all that, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow,

But you are more intemperate in your blood than Venus...

By my soul, nor I.

By my troth, a pleasant spirited lady.

By slanderous tongues...

By this time our sexton hath reformed Signior Leonato of the matter.

Choose your revenge yourself.

Come, come. We are friends!

Come, neighbour.

Come! Come, let us thither.

Cousin! Wherefore sink you down?

Cousins...

Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, misprising what they look on,

Do me right, or I will protest your cowardice.

Do you question me for my simple true judgement,

Do you think I do not know you by your excellent wit?

Doth not he deserve as full as fortunate a bed as ever Beatrice shall couch upon?

Faith, like enough.

Fare you well, boy.

Farewell, my lords. We look for you tomorrow.

For the which with songs of woe

For them all together,

For which of my good parts did you first suffer love for me?

Get thee a wife. Get thee a wife.

God give you joy.

Good Lord, for alliance!

Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you?

Have vanquished the resistance of her youth, and made defeat of her virginity...

He lent it me awhile,

Heavily

Here stand a pair of honourable men.

Here, man. I am at thy elbow.

Hero that is... dead.

How dost thou, Benedick, the married man?

How doth your cousin?

How if he will not stand?

How know you... he loves her?

I am sure he is in the fleet.

I cannot hide what I am.

I did not think I should live till I were married.

I find here that Don Pedro hath bestowed much honour

I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.

I have brought Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek.

I hope you have no intent to turn husband. Have you?

I know you of old.

I leave with your worship an arrant knave,

I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.

I owe you all duty.

I remember

I tell him we shall stay here at the least a month.

I was your other wife.

I will assume thy part in some disguise,

I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes,

I will make it good with what you dare and when you dare.

I will not be sworn, but love may transform me to an oyster,

I will stop your mouth.

I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it,

I would not deny you,

I would scarce trust myself,

I would that I had not a hard heart, for I love none

If I can cross him any way,

If she should make tender of her love, 'tis very possible he'll scorn it,

If thou kill'st me, boy, thou shalt kill a man.

If you would know your wronger, look on me.

In faith, she's too cursed!

Indeed, my lord.

Is it not strange that sheep's guts should hale souls out of men's bodies?

Is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?

Kill Claudio.

Lady Beatrice, I will get you one.

Lady, you come hither to be married to this count.

Leander the good swimmer, Troilus the first employer of panders,

Let us go. These things, come thus to light, smother her spirits up.

Marry, it is your brother's right hand.

Men were deceivers ever

Men were deceivers ever

Mild, or come not near me

Most sincerely.

My brother hath a daughter.

My lord, your brother John is ta'en in flight and brought back to Messina.

Name the day of marriage, and God give thee joy!

Never lay thy hand upon thy sword. I fear thee not.

Niece, I hope you will be ruled by your father.

No, my lord.

No. Since I do purpose to marry,

No...

Nor no great argument of her folly,

Nothing, unless you render her again.

Off, coxcomb!

Oh, Lord!

Oh, noble sir.

Oh, that I were a man!

One foot in sea

One Hero died defiled, but I do live.

Poor fool, it keeps on the windy side of care.

Record it with your high and worthy deeds.

See, here comes the man we went to seek.

She cannot be so much without true judgement, having so swift a wit,

Since summer first was leafy

So the life...

Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand.

That I stood like a man at a mark with a whole army shooting at me.

That puts the world into her person, and so gives me out.

The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

The fraud of men was ever so

The idea of her life shall sweetly creep into his study of imagination,

The lady Hero's gentlewoman,

The poison of that lies in you to temper.

The prince and Monsieur Love (!)

The prince woos for himself!

The revellers are entering!

The world must be peopled!

Then is courtesy a turncoat.

Then is spoken. Fare you well now.

Then shall he mourn, and wish he had not so accused her.

Then sigh not so

Then sigh not so,

There is no measure in the occasion that breeds,

There's a double meaning in that.

Therefore the sadness is without limit.

They did entreat me to acquaint her of it,

This can be no trick.

This may prove food to my displeasure.

This same is she, and I do give you her.

Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.

Though it be not written down, forget not that I am an ass.

Thus goes everyone to the world but I, and I am sunburnt.

To bind our loves up in a holy band.

Too brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great praise.

Uncovered slander, unmitigated rancour...

Very ill too.

Very ominous endings.

Was ever so...

We will rather sleep than talk.

Well, as time shall try

What is your name, friend?

What life is in that to be the death of this marriage?

When he dedicates his behaviours to love,

When I said I would die a bachelor,

When time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.

Which is the lady I must seize upon?

Which is the villain? Let me see his eyes!

Which these hobby horses must not hear.

Who is his companion now?

Whose joy of her is overwhelmed like mine,

Will you come...

Will you not tell me who told you so?

Wise, or I'll none.

Write down Borachio (!)

Yea, even I alone.

Yea, my lord, I thank it.

Yes, it is my cousin's duty to make curtsy and say, Father, as it please you.

Yet bend not all the harm upon yourself. Make those that do offend you suffer, too.

You amaze me!

You are a villain. I jest not.

You do not love me?

You have among you killed a sweet and innocent lady.

You have killed a sweet lady, and her death shall fall heavy on you.

You must come to your uncle. Yonder's old coil at home.

Your sounds of woe

Are you so hasty now? Well, all is one. Do not quarrel with us.

Did he never make you laugh? I pray you, what is he?

For I promised to eat all of his killing. He hath done good service.

Has she made her affection known? No, and swears she never will.

How canst thou cross this marriage? Not honestly.

I will go! We'll be friends first.

Is Claudio thine enemy? Is he not approved in the height a villain

Know you any, Hero? None, my lord.

Let me go! Beatrice!

Let me see your face. No. That you shall not

May a man do it? It is a man's office... but not yours.

Means your lordship to marry tomorrow? You know he does.

Now, signior, what news? Good day, my lord.

See you where Benedick hides himself? Very well, my lord.

She cannot love. (Ursula) Sure, I think so.

She is undone! Beatrice!

Show me briefly how. I told your lordship

They swore you were nearly dead for me. 'Tis no such matter. Then...

Well, then, go you into hell? No, but to the gate.

Wherefore art thou sad? Not sad, my lord.

Yours, sirrah? I am a gentleman, sir.

..and a most quiet watchman,

..but as a brother to his sister,

..let me go with knowing what hath passed between you and Claudio.

..or those pampered animals that rage in savage sensuality.

..presently?

..was the Hero that here lies.

..with glorious fame.

(all) Ooh!

(Antonio) If you go on thus, you will kill yourself.

(Benedick) Soft and fair, Friar!

(cheering)

(gasps)

(laughs)

(laughs)

(laughs)

(laughter)

(Leonato screams)

(man imitates bugle call)

(other men join in) Sing no more ditties, sing no more

(resigned tone) I will have thee, but by this light, I take thee for pity.

(roars)

(squawking bird call)

(squawks)

(thunderclap)
