Much Ado About Nothing: L1, TQ4
In (1.1.121-151) we see the first argument between Benedick and Beatrice. In mine own/No Fear Shakespeare's words it went something like this. Benedick-(talking about Hero) If Leonato is her father im sure she would not want her face to look like his. Beatrice-I amazed you are still talking. No one is listening to you. Benedick- Oh look its my dear Lady Disdain. Aren't you dead yet. Beatrice- How could disdain die when you are here. When you are around even lady courtesy turns into lady disdain. Benedick- That makes lady courtesy a traitor. All women except you love me. And its to I have no heart and love no one. Beatrice- That's a good thing for women. Or ells they would troubled with a nasty suitor. I thank God I do not need love. I would rather hear my dog bark at a crow than hear a man say he loves me. Benedick- I hope you keep feeling that way or ells some poor man will get his face scratched up. Beatrice- If he had a face like yours a good scratching wouldn't make it worse. Benedick- Well you are teaching me like a parrot. Beatrice- I would rather be a squawking bird than a beast like you. Benedick- I wish my horse was as fast and tireless as your mouth, enough I'm done arguing. Beatrice- You always slip out of arguments like this. I know that from old times.
