[09:51.54]THE MERCHANT OF VENICE(2)
[09:55.51]Shylock advances towards Antonio and prepares to use his knife.
[10:02.64]P:Wait!There is something else.
[10:08.21]Antonio has promised to give you a pound of his flesh.
[10:14.45]But he has not promised to give you any of his blood.
[10:19.62]If you let one drop of his blood fall,
[10:24.67]you will lose all your land and all your money.
[10:30.91]S:Is that the law?
[10:34.17]P:That is the law.You wanted justice,so you shall get justice,more than you wanted.
[10:45.33]S:I will take the money.Give me three times more than Antonio borrowd from me.
[10:52.41]B:Here it is.
[10:55.36]P:Wait!Shylock would not take the money earlier.
[11:03.72]All he wanted was right to be done.
[11:08.37]That is all he can have now.You must cut off one pound of flesh,no more,no less.
[11:18.11]And not one drop of blood must fall .

[11:34.65]or murder any citizen of Venice,
[11:39.30]everything that he owns shall be taken away from him.

[11:52.02]and the other half shall be givev to the person he has tried to kill.
[11:59.57]His life shall be at the mercy of the Duke.
[12:04.53]Therefore,go down on your knees and beg the Duke for mercy.
[12:11.61]S:Good sir,I beg for mercy and beg your pardon.
[12:18.17]D:I shall not have you killed.
[12:22.01]But as your punishment,half of your money is now Antonio's.
[12:28.07]You must give the other half to the city of Venice.
[12:33.03]S:Take my life too!My money and goods are as dear to me as life itself.
[12:40.19]They are my only comfort.
[12:44.34]When you take those away from me,you also take my life.
[12:50.22]A:I shall be happy to give up my part of Shylock's money.
[12:56.07]Shyock must promise to leave the money upom his death
