I’ll have to ask you some questions, madam. Please answer, my good student.
Well sir, I'm only listening because I have nothing better to do.
Good Madonna, why are you mourning?
Good fool because my brother is dead
I think his soul is in hell, madoona.
I know his soul is in heaven, fool.
Yes, and he’ll keep getting funnier till he dies. Old age always makes people act funny—even wise people, but fools more than anybody.
Then you’re a fool for being sad that your brother’s soul is in heaven. Take away this fool, gentlemen.
What do you think Malvolio? Isn’t he getting funnier?
I hope you go senile soon, sir, so you can become a more foolish fool! Sir Toby would bet a fortune that I’m not smart, but he wouldn’t bet two cents that you’re not a fool.
What do you think of that Malvolio?
I’m surprised you enjoy the company of this stupid troublemaker. The other battle of wits by an ordinary jester with no more brains than a rock. Look at him, he’s at a loss for words already. Unless he’s got somebody laughing at him, he can’t think of anything to say. I swear, anyone smart who laughs at these courts jesters is nothing but a jester’s apprentice.
