Hero: I do, but Beatrice is too proud to change her mind. She scorns all thoughts of love for Benedick. The only love she has is for herself. Ursula: If she finds out that Benedick's in love She'll make a joke of it, I'm sure of that. Hero: However good or brave a man may be, Beatrice will be sure to make a fool of him. If he is fair, she'll say he's like woman. And if his skin is dark, more like a devil lf tall, his head's too small, if short, too big And if he talks too much that is a fault. But then a quiet man has no ideas at all. So Beatrice has no praise for any man She scorns them all and that will never change! Ursula: Yes, you're right. She's truly full of scorn Hero: But who will tell her so? I will not do it. Beatrice would laugh at me and mock me. Benedick must die from the quick fire of love Not slowly from the words of Beatrice. Ursula: Tell her the truth. Find out what she thinks. Hero: I have a better plan. I'll talk to Benedick. I'll tell him he must fight against his love. To help him, I'll say bad things about Beatrice To make him change his mind about the lady. Ursula: But that's not fair on her! She is too clever She knows that Benedick's a worthy man. She surely won't refuse him!
