Much Ado About Nothing - Act 3 Scene 3 - Lines 1-82
Storyboard Tekst
- You’re thought to be the most senseless and fit man here, so you will carry the lantern and be constable. This is your assignment:
- you will comprehend any vagrant men you see. You are to order all men to stop, in the Prince’s name.
- But what if they don't stop?
- If he won’t stop when he’s told to, then he isn’t one of the Prince’s subjects.
- Well then, don’t bother with him and let him go. Then immediately call the rest of the watch together and thank God that you’ve gotten rid of such a criminal.
- And what if they won't go?
- Well then, leave them alone until they’re sober. If even then they don’t answer to your satisfaction, you can say that they’re not the men you thought they were.
- You’re supposed to visit all the bars and tell anyone who’s drunk to go home and go to bed.
- I think the most peaceable thing to do is to let him be himself—and steal away.
- If you meet a thief, you can expect him to be dishonest. The less you have to do with that kind of man, the more honest you will be.
- I didn't do it I swear! That apple is mine!
- Well then, leave quietly, and let the child’s crying wake up the nurse.
- If you hear a child crying in the night, you should call the nurse and tell her to quiet the child.
- WAAAAAAA!!!
- What if the nurse is asleep and doesn’t hear us?
- Ha, ha, ha! Well, gentlemen, good night. And if anything important happens, find me and let me know. Keep each other’s secrets and your own. Good night. Come, friend.
- And that’s the end of your assignment. You, constable, are representing the Prince himself. If you meet the Prince in the night, you can order him to stop.
