(the two sides of Bennedick)
-NO! IT CANT BE TRUE!
-why would Claudio lie. he is a man of true honor and worth. there would be no reason for him to stay. he has every right to go. she's a whore. there are witnesses to prove her dishonesty.
-but....
-no but's! the truth has been found what are you waiting for let us be gone, good man.
-but.. (he looks to beatrice)
-dont tell me! you are honestly thinking of staying and comforting her? are you mad? be as you told your good friend, who now must be wishing he had yielded to your warning of love and marriage, and leave. if this be true of the fair Hero what can be expected of her parrot-tongue cousin. be wise man and leave.
-but Beatrice! she seems to believe in her cousins innocence
-of course she would! she's her cousin
-no. beatrice is not like that. she wouldnt defend someone so hernestly if she knew that they were not being truthful.
-your seeing more to her then is. with that quick tongue she probably has already rehearsed what she was going to say.
-but i want to be with her. this could be my chance to prove my love to her.
-Love! i laugh at the word. look where it got claudio.
-what is there to doubt? did you see Hero with the lover they claim she be with that night.?
-no! but others did and that is enough.. besides think of your self and your name. what would other say if you associate with anyone of that family? a whore she is! and not even her father believes her words to be true. do you want to tarnish all that you have built till. now!
-ahh it was not Beatrice but Hero who was accused.
-yes but beatrice is guilty by association. will you go against your good friend all for the sake of a woman? you? who swore never to fall to cupids game?
-claudio was illusioned. he was enamored with Hero. his love not solid but fickle. but my love for Beatrice is true and i will prove it to her!
-forget claudio. do you remember what you said could be done to you if you ever fell in love? good man you will never be able to hold you head high again.
-i will and do so proudly with my love at my side.
-as if she will believe you!
-It's settled I will stay by love's side and be her support!
-fine. its your funeral!
