I just don't think we should scare our lords like that...
Funny. I seem to remember you were all for this plan back in Venice.
Nerissa
Portia
the women discuss their plan.
I suggest we say nothing about the empty spaces on their fingers.Then later, when they're asleep, we should put the rings back on their fingers and see what conspiracy theories they come up with.
Well, now I have a new plan. One that I like better.
I officially love that plan. Yes. Let's do that.
Belmont
ARE BASSANIO AND GRATIANO BACK YET?
NO.
Phew
Later...
Bassanio
Random Servant
I have something I need to tell you.In Venice, after the trial, I gave away the ring you entrusted to me. I'm sorry. I should not have broken your trust. I've thought about it and decided your happiness is more important than the happiness of anyone else, even if they help my friends.Is there anything I can do to make it right?
Portia, your husband is home
Welcome home, Bassanio
Still in Belmont
Oh Bassanio...Thank you for apologising. I forgive you.And here is your ring back.
Now everybody's happy!
Everybody's happy...except for me!
Shylock
Why can't I have a happy ending too?!?
She forgave me!
Everybody hates me...Nobody likes me...I think I'll go eat worms.
