Episode 2 A Dangerous Agreement Antonio and Bassanio went to see Shylock.0:12
So you want to borrow 3,000 ducats?0:27
And we want it for three months, said Bassanio.0:33
My friend Antonio will help me pay it back.0:36
But why does Antonio not give you the money now?0:39
All my money depends on my ships at sea, explained Antonio.0:43
I will have money as soon as they return.0:47
But that means your money is not safe.0:49
Storms might destroy your ships or they might sink.0:53
They might be attacked by pirates who will steal everything.0:57
Don't worry, you can trust my friend, said Bassanio.1:01
Will you come and eat with us tonight?1:04
That way you can get to know him better.1:06
I already know Antonio, said Shylock.1:08
I will do business with him, but I will not eat with him.1:12
Antonio and Bassanio looked at each other, but they did not say anything.1:17
So, Shylock, can you lend us what we want?1:23
I do not usually lend or borrow with interest, but this time is different.1:27
I will borrow from my friend Bassanio.1:33
Yes, you want to borrow from me now?1:35
Said Shylock, looking straight at Antonio.1:37
You are even willing to pay interest, is that right?1:41
Yes, I will pay you interest if you want.1:44
Shylock thought carefully.1:49
He remembered all the times Antonio had insulted him and laughed at him.1:52
Now, for the first time, Antonio wanted something from him.1:58
Antonio was in his power.2:03
He realised that this was his chance to get his own back.2:06
He looked at Antonio for a long time.2:11
No, I do not want interest from you, he said slowly.2:14
But let us agree to a little joke.2:19
If you do not repay me what you owe, I can take a pound of your flesh from whatever part of your body that I want.2:21
I will agree to that, said Antonio.2:34
No, Antonio, don't do that for me.2:40
Don't worry, my dear friend Bassanio.2:45
My ships will return very, very soon.2:47
And then I will have three times what we have borrowed.2:50
Let Shylock have his little joke.2:55
So, Antonio, will you sign this agreement?2:57
I will lend Bassanio 3,000 ducats.3:01
You will pay me back within three months if your ships do not come back to port.3:04
And if you cannot pay me back the money, I can take a pound of flesh from you.3:11
He put the agreement on the table and handed Antonio a pen.3:17
I will gladly sign it for my friend, said Antonio.3:22
He dipped the pen in the ink and signed his name.3:27
