Episode 3 Jessica's Escape Jessica was sitting at her writing desk.0:12
She was writing a letter to Lorenzo, and from time to time she sighed.0:22
She looked up when Lancelot came into the room and smiled.0:28
For her, Lancelot was more like a friend than a servant.0:33
Oh, Lancelot, I am very glad to see you, she said.0:37
I am so tired of living in this house.0:42
Nothing ever happens and my father is strict.0:45
She did not like her father very much.0:53
She knew that nobody in Venice liked him.0:56
This was because he lent money with interest, but also because they thought Shylock was mean and greedy.0:59
He seemed to love money more than people and more than anything else in the world.1:06
I want you to take this letter to Lorenzo, she said, but do not tell anybody about it.1:11
Of course, my lady, said Lancelot.1:18
I will keep it a secret.1:21
He put the letter in his pocket.1:23
With this letter you are helping me to escape, Jessica said.1:26
I am going to marry Lorenzo as soon as I can.1:31
And in this letter I tell him about my plan.1:35
Soon Lorenzo and I will be together and I can forget all about this house.1:39
It's a terrible thing to be ashamed of your father.1:46
He is a horrible man and I will be glad to leave him.1:51
Lancelot left at once.1:56
He found Lorenzo, who was with his friends Gratiano, Salarino and Celanio.1:59
They were talking quietly together.2:05
Lancelot gave Lorenzo Jessica's letter.2:08
Lorenzo read it and smiled.2:12
Tell Jessica that I will keep my promise, he said.2:15
But tell her in secret.2:18
No one else must hear.2:20
Lancelot nodded and walked away quickly.2:21
Tonight Shylock will not be in his house, Lorenzo told his friends.2:25
Jessica will disguise herself as a boy and she'll wait at home for us to come.2:29
She'll bring some of Shylock's golden jewels.2:35
We'll have all the money we need and we will sail with Bassanio when he leaves for Belmont.2:37
That night, the four friends went quietly to Shylock's house.2:43
From her bedroom wind, Jessica handed them down a box full of gold and jewels.2:48
Then she used a tree to climb down to the men waiting below.2:55
She could not look at Lorenzo.2:59
I am embarrassed, she said, because I am wearing boys clothes.3:02
Don't worry, Jessica, my dear, said Lorenzo.3:07
I love you whatever clothes you're wearing.3:10
It is true, said Jessica.3:13
Love is blind and lovers cannot see.3:16
Now, my love, we must hurry.3:19
We haven't got much time, said Lorenzo.3:21
Bassanio's ship is sailing very soon.3:24
