Not long after his marriage to Portia, Bassanio received a letter from Antonio.0:00
This is the worst news I've ever heard.0:09
What is wrong, my love?0:11
My friend Antonio, the dearest friend in the world, is in trouble.0:15
What kind of trouble?0:19
He borrowed money from Shylock, his deadly enemy, and they signed a terrible agreement.0:22
What was the agreement?0:29
That Shylock would cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh if he didn't get his money.0:31
Now Antonio's ships are lost and he can't pay in any case.0:38
Shylock says that even if Antonio could pay, he wouldn't take the money.0:42
Instead, Shylock wants to take Antonio's heart.0:47
Shylock is going to court to get what he wants.0:51
And it seems the law of Venice is on his side.0:54
He has a signed agreement written by a lawyer.0:58
And not even the Duke of Venice can go against the law.1:01
Then you must help him.1:04
No, 20 times the money he is owed.1:08
You can have all the gold you need, but don't let your friend suffer because of you.1:13
Oh, thank you, my love.1:17
I am so afraid for Antonio.1:19
Everything will be all right.1:23
You must bring Antonio with you when you return.1:25
We will leave at once.1:31
Goodbye, sweet Portia.1:33
Portia told Bassanio that everything would be alright, but the truth is that she was worried.1:36
Nerissa, I have a plan to save Bassanio's friend.1:44
We'll go to Venice right now and see our husbands without them even knowing.1:49
My cousin Bellario is a famous doctor of law and a very clever man.1:55
I've sent him a message asking for his advice.2:01
He'll also give the messengers some lawyer's clothes to bring to us in Venice and a letter to the Duke.2:05
We'll pretend to be young lawyers and will save Antonio.2:12
Pretend to be lawyers?2:17
But won't our husbands recognise us?2:21
Not in lawyers gowns and wigs.2:23
Especially if we walk and talk like young men do.2:26
But come, we must hurry.2:31
Portia wants to help Antonio.2:34
Does that make her a good friend?2:37
If you are a loyal friend and if you really care when your friends are in trouble, you'll always be there.2:48
If you can give help to your friends in the time of greatest me, they'll never forget what you did and you'll have a friend indeed.3:02
Can you be a loyal friend in good times and in bad?3:37
Will you be there for your friends when they're lost or sad if you can give help to your friends in their time of greatest eve3:45
they'll never forget what you did and you'll have a friend indeed.4:06
