The Mechanicals’ Performance
BOTTOM: Now, sir, for our play, I have a reasonable good scene for you; and, as I see, it comes close upon my patience. I pray you, rest you, sing you, and let’s hear you. Mast. You must not speak with me: I’m not liable to you. BOTTOM: I shall speak with you. I will never stay from any woman for any reason. I am a very merry fellow, and I have a good wit. I can tell you all about it. Mast. What, what! what! what! BOTTOM: Nay, I shall speak plainly. I shall tell you the truth. I will be honest with you. Mast. I will not speak with you. BOTTOM: Well, then, I will speak with you. But I will be honest, and I will not speak with you. Mast. Nay, then, I shall have to speak with you. BOTTOM: Well, I will speak with you. But I will not be honest with you. Mast. No, no, no, no! BOTTOM: (taking hands) I will speak with you. Mast. Nay, then, I will speak with you. But I will not be honest with you. BOTTOM: How now, my hearts! How now, my hearts! Mast. What, what! what! what! BOTTOM: (to Flute) Come, let us leave this chat to you. I am to be an actor in the play. Do not be too angry with me. Mast. No, I can tell you that I am not angry with you. BOTTOM: Then I will leave you. Mast. Nay, do not go; I will stay with you. But I am to be an actor in the play. I will be a good actor. BOTTOM: And I will be a good actor, too. Mast. I hope so.
