Bassanio: yes please, for 3 months i say
Shylock: three months? Well....
Bassanio: dont worry, Antonio will guarantee the loan. If i fail to do so, antonio will do the payment
Shylock: hmmm....hmm....
Bassanio: so tell me whats your decision?
Shylock: three thousand ducats and 3 months. Final! Antonio will guarantee it
Bassanio: your decision please?
Shylock: antonio isnt bad, i guess
Bassanio: so? Now you have it, anything to differ?
Shylock: i didnt mean it that way! Saying he isnt bad means antonio will pay me since he has the money. He has ship bound for tripoli, one to indies and one in england, and more business ventures all around the world. That is secure enough to me. But, anything can happen. …show more content…
Dining with you? Oh yes! You expect me to smell pork? That pork that your Jesus has sent! You can ask me to sell or buy or talk with you. But i will never eat, pray or drink with you! Anyway, any news abt Rialto? Who's he if i may ask?
(Antonio enters)
Bassnio: this is signor Antonio
Shylock: (to himself) look at him, he looks like a man who just robbed me and now hes crawling to beg a favor! I hate him! Him as a christian just make me hate him even more! Other than that, he stupidly likes to lend money to people without interest and that explains why the interest rate is low here in Venice. If i can get a hold of him, i will certainly satisfy my old gruge. He hates Jew and he cang stop complaining abt me and claim that my hard-earned profits as "interest"! I hate him! Its an insult to jews to forgive him in life!
Bassanio: shylock, are u here?
Shylock: im having a thought of my money. As far as i know, i cant raise three thousand ducats at instant. Hiwever, Tubal is there to help me with cash. Antonio, how many months do u want? My bad signor, Hello. How are you?
Antonio: shylock, never in my life, i lend or borrow with interest. But today, i'm going to set aside that fact and help my good friend here. Does he know how much you …show more content…
I actually wanted to be friends with you and forget all the bad things that's ever happened. I was planning to not charge you at all, but with this attitude, im glad that i can charge you
Bassanio: That would be very nice
Shylock: heres the deal. If you fail to pay me, your penalty will be a pound of flesh, cut, and taken out of whatever part of your body i like
Antonio: deal is on! And i would even like to add that jews are nice
Bassanio: what are you thinking? I will never let you sign a contact like that! Im better without the money!
Antonio: you dont have to worry bassanio. I expect to earn more than 3 times a month before the loan is due
Shylock: oh father Abraham if i may ask, what kind of people are these christians? Do not misunderstand me, taking a pound of flesh is so valuable that to teach these people. I would certainly stop this offer if its turned down, but if it does not, that'd be great. And i truly have no bad intention.
Antonio: whatever shylock, i'll sign the contract now.
Shylock: that's what you wish! Meet met at the notary's. I'll go get the money right away as soon as he reads the instructions for our little contract . See you soon, i need to be home first and check on my careless servants.
Antonio: Yea yea whatever my Jewish friend, hurry
