1:48:14
Marry, Petruchio, I begin to wonder
If thou hast wed the veriest shrew of all.

1:48:20
I say no. And therefore for assurance
Let's each one send unto his wife,

1:48:24
And he whose wife is most obedient,
To come the moment he doth send for her,

1:48:29
Shall win the wager which we will propose.
1:48:32
Content.
1:48:34
- What was the wager?
- Two hundred crowns.

1:48:36
Two hundred crowns?
1:48:38
I'll venture so much on my hawk and hound,
But twenty times so much upon my wife.

1:48:45
So be it, then. Four thousand crowns.
1:48:53
Content?
1:48:58
Content.
1:49:06
- Who shall begin?
- That will I. Biondello?

1:49:11
Go, Biondello, bid your mistress come to me.
1:49:18
I will share half your stake Bianca comes.
1:49:21
I'll have no halves. I'll bear it all myself.
1:49:33
How now, what news?
1:49:35
Sir, my mistress sends you word
That she is busy and she cannot come.

1:49:46
How? She is busy, and she cannot come?
Is that an answer?

1:49:50
Ay, and a kind one too.
1:49:52
- Pray God, sir, your wife send you not a worse.
- I hope for better.
