- I’d like to borrow three thousand ducats please!
- Bassanio approaches the Jewish money-lender, Shylock, for a loan of three thousand ducats for three months with Antonio as guarantor. Shylock is doubtful because all of Antonio's wealth is tied up in ships still at sea but he also nurtures a deep-seated hatred of Antonio, who he condemns for lending money without interest, which undermines Shylock's business.
- When Antonio arrives, Shylock is polite but reminds him how he has criticised him for his money lending and insulted his Jewish faith. Antonio insists that he is making an exception for Bassanio because he doesn't usually lend or borrow.Shylock agrees to the loan to his one-time enemy and to demonstrate his new friendship offers to waive interest charges.
- You judge me for how I lend my money, you judge me for my faith, you even spat on me. But ill show the kindness you haven’t shown me and lend you the money, with interest of course.
- Sounds good to us.
- However, Shylock suggests "in a merry sport" that if Antonio fails to pay back the loan in time, he will take a pound of Antonio's flesh as the penalty. All parties agree to meet at a notary's office, where the bond will be legally drawn up and signed.
- And if Antonio fails to pay me in time, I’ll take a pound of his flesh as compensation.
