Beatrice and Benedick's Exchange
ACT II, SCENE I
[Enter BEATRICE and HERO]
BEATRICE: I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?
HERO: I know none of that name, lady: there was none such in the army of any sort.
BEATRICE: What is he that you ask for, niece?
HERO: My cousin means Signior Benedick of Padua.
BEATRICE: O, he's returned, and as pleasant as ever he was.
HERO: He is sadder now than he was before.
BEATRICE: He may be sad; but for that I do not care.
HERO: How now, signior! I am sorry for your disquiet; but for my part, I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.
BEATRICE: God keep me from that humor! (Enter BENVOLIO)
BENVOLIO: Signior Benedick, grieved you at all?
BENEDICK: Truly, lady, I think I have to do myself the greatest injury of all: my dog is better than I am.
BEATRICE: What, a man! He must be married to a woman; he cannot be married to a bachelor.
BENVOLIO: I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband.
BENEDICK: Let me see your face.
BENVOLIO: No, by my faith, lady, I think you are too young for me.
BENEDICK: Well, sir, I am not young enough to be your husband.
