A good message, my lady, with your permission, this scroll allows me to kiss you, but I must confess i am in a daze like someone has just won a big prize and I'm just waiting for you to tell me this is all true.
You see me standing here Lord Bassanio, what you see is what you get, yet for your sake I wish myself to be 20 times more of myself, a thousand times more beautiful and ten thousand times more rich, all so you can value me and all that I own, more.
I think I have found the lady to marry, my lord I can fall in love as fast as you can, I fell in love with Nerissa as soon as I saw her. As you fell in love with Portia, I did so with Nerissa,. She confessed she loved me as well and said we would wed if you both did as well.
Yes it is, my lady if it is alright with you.
Is this correct, Nerissa?
In that case we shall be honored to have you join our wedding ceremony.
Here is a letter for Lord Bassanio from Antonio
Something bad in the letter is making Bassanio upset, please tell me what it is so I can take half of your burden.
Go to Venice and pay the sum owed by Antonio, pay twenty times the sum if needed to save his life, I would rather part with my money than lose a good friend such as yours, first lets get married .
I have a confession to make, I am not rich or a nobleman, I have borrowed the wealth you see and my best friend Antonio is going to lose a pound of his flesh to his mortal enemy because of me
I heard Shylock say when I was living with him that he will rather take Antonio's flesh than 20 times the sum
