In her house in Belmont, Portia was unhappy.0:00
She was rich, beautiful and clever, and many famous men wanted to marry her.0:05
But before her father died, he had thought of a test to choose a husband for her.0:11
Why did my father decide on this test?0:21
I can't choose to marry the man I want and I can't refuse to marry a man I don't want.0:27
Instead, I must marry the man who passes the test, whoever he is.0:34
My lady, your father was always wise and I'm sure his test will find the perfect husband.0:41
To marry you, a man must choose between three gold, silver and lead, each with a message on it.0:47
But this test is not as simple as it seems.0:55
The box he chooses will show what is really in his heart.0:59
Only a man who loves you will choose the right box and this man will be the man you love.1:04
But I already know who I love.1:10
Do you remember Bassanio?1:12
I think he loves me, too.1:14
Then he will come to Belmont and you must pray he passes the test.1:16
But what if one of these other men takes the test before Bassanio comes and chooses the right box?1:21
Don't worry, my lady.1:28
Most of them are too afraid to try when they hear what happens if they lose.1:29
The Prince of Naples, the French lord, the English baron and some others.1:34
They have all decided to leave without taking the test.1:39
There are only two men left here who are brave enough to take the chance.1:43
The first man is the Prince of Morocco and the second is the Prince of Aragon.1:48
Then send in the Prince of Morocco.1:53
Dear Portia, let me take your father's test and see if luck makes me the happiest or the saddest of men.2:05
Remember, Prince, the chance you take if you decide to try.2:16
You have made a promise that if you choose the wrong box, you can never marry any other woman and you can never see me again.2:20
But you must leave at once.2:30
I have promised and I am not afraid to take the chance.2:33
Here are the three boxes.2:40
Inside one of them is my picture.2:42
If you choose that box, then I am your wife.2:45
Lead is much too common for such a beautiful lady.2:49
Surely a jewel as precious as Portia would not be set in anything but gold.2:57
What is the message on the gold box?3:05
The man who chooses me will get what many men want.3:10
Many men want Portia.3:18
I will choose the gold box.3:23
A picture of a skull and these words.3:31
All that glitters is not gold.3:34
Often have you heard that told and so goodbye, your Hopes are cold.3:37
Goodbye, sweet Portia.3:49
My heart is too full of sadness to say any more.3:52
Send in the Prince of Aragon.4:01
I am ready to take your father's test.4:14
I am sure I will pass.4:17
Too many men are fooled by what shows on the outside.4:28
What does the silver box say?4:32
The man who chooses me will get what he deserves.4:35
Well, I'm sure I deserve.4:39
I choose the silver box.4:42
It's a picture of a fool.4:54
Is this what I deserve?4:56
Well, I will keep my promise.5:01
Goodbye, Lady Portia.5:05
Oh, these men are all fools.5:10
Bassanio, I wish you would come and try to win me as your wife.5:14
Portia's wish came true.5:20
Before very long, Bassanio arrived in Belmont with Gratiano, Lorenzo and Jessica.5:22
Portia couldn't hide her love for Bassanio, but he still had to try to pass her father's test.5:30
Oh, Bassanio, please don't try today.5:38
If you fail the test, I can never see you again.5:44
I don't ever want to lose you.5:49
I love you and I can't wait another day to marry you.5:52
Here are the three boxes.5:57
If you really love me, you'll find the one that has my picture in it.6:00
Gold, silver or lead?6:07
What are the words on the lead box?6:15
The man who chooses me must risk everything he has.6:19
I'm not afraid to risk everything for you, Portia.6:25
I choose the lead box, a picture of Portia and these words.6:28
Turn to where your lady is and claim her with a loving kiss.6:41
Oh, my lady, I can't believe this is true.6:47
Tell me this isn't a dream.6:51
You can see me standing here.6:52
My lord, I am yours, my heart is yours and everything I own is yours.6:54
I give them all to you with this ring as a sign of my love.7:00
You must promise to wear it always and never lose it or give it away.7:05
My heart is so full of joy, I can hardly speak.7:11
I will wear your ring and never take it off my finger for as long as I live.7:16
My lord and lady, we wish you all the happiness in the world.7:29
My lord and lady, I wish you everything that you could wish yourselves.7:34
And when you are married, if you don't mind, I would like to get married, too.7:39
Of course we don't mind, but have you found a wife?7:44
I asked Nerissa to marry me and she finally agreed, but only if you managed to win the lady Portia, your happiness depended on which box you chose.7:49
Is this true, Nerissa?8:02
That's wonderful news.8:05
We have all found true love.8:07
So Bassanio married Portia because he was not afraid to risk everything.8:10
Is that what true love means?8:17
It has its ups and downs?8:31
Love has good and bad times?8:34
It brings you smiles and frowns?8:36
Don't be afraid to show your love?8:39
Don't be afraid to fall?8:41
You have to take a chance on love?8:43
You have to risk it all?8:45
Love's a roller coaster?8:56
It can take you high and low?8:58
You have to take your chances?9:01
And just let yourself go?9:03
Don't be afraid to show your love?9:05
Don't be afraid to fall?9:08
You have to take a chance on love?9:10
You have to risk it all?9:12
