- Who? Sir Andrew Aguecheek? He's as tall a man any's Illyria.
- Sir Andrew enters and, while Sir Toby is trying to introduce him to Maria, makes a fool of himself by repeatedly getting her name wrong. Evidently, Sir Andrew is a bumbling idiot. After Maria leaves, Sir Andrew and Sir Toby talk and joke like old friends. But Sir Andrew tells Sir Toby that he is discouraged and that he does not think that Olivia likes him. He plans to leave the next morning, and he remarks that Olivia will probably choose Orsino over him.
- No question.
- And I thought that, I'd forswear it. I'll ride home tomorrow, Sir Toby.

- If the duke continue these favors towards you, Cesario, you are like to be much advanced. He hath known you but three days and already you are no stranger.
- No, believe me.
