Act II. Scene VII.
[Belmont]
Enter Portia with [the Prince of] Morocco, and both their trains.
PORTIA: Go, draw aside the curtains, and discover
The several caskets to this noble prince—
Now make your choice.
MOROCCO: The first, of gold, who this inscription bears...
Who chooseth me, shall gain what many men desire.
The second, silver, which this promise carries...
Who chooseth me, shall get as much as he deserves.
This third, dull lead, with warning all as blunt...
Who chooseth me, must give and hazard all he hath.
How shall I know if I do choose the right?
PORTIA: The one of them contains my picture, prince;
If you choose that, then I am yours withal.
MOROCCO: Some god direct my judgment! Let me see.
I will survey the inscriptions back again.
What says this leaden casket...
Who chooseth me, must give and hazard all he hath.
Must give—For what? for lead? hazard for lead?
This casket threatens... Men that hazard all
Do it in hope of fair advantages.
A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross;
I'll then nor give, nor hazard, aught for lead.
What says the silver, with her virgin hue?
Who chooseth me, shall get as much as he deserves.
As much as he deserves?—Pause there, Morocco,
And weigh thy value with an even hand.
If thou be'st rated by thy estimation,
Thou dost deserve enough; and yet enough
May not extend so far as to the lady.
And yet to be afeard of my deserving,
Were but a weak disabling of myself.
As much as I deserve!—Why, that's the lady!
I do in birth deserve her, and in fortunes,
In graces, and in qualities of breeding...
But more than these, in love I do deserve.
What if I strayed no further, but chose here?
Let's see once more this saying grav'd in gold...
Who chooseth me, shall gain what many men desire.
Why, that's the lady! All the world desires her.
From the four corners of the earth they come,
To kiss this shrine, this mortal, breathing, saint.
The Hyrcanian deserts and the vasty wilds
Of wide Arabia, are as through-fares now,
For princes to come view fair Portia.
The watery kingdom, whose ambitious head
Spets in the face of heaven, is no bar
To stop the foreign spirits; but they come,
As o'er a brook, to see fair Portia.
One of these three contains her heavenly picture.
Is't like that lead contains her? 'Twere damnation
To think so base a thought. It were too gross
To rib her cerecloth in the obscure grave.
Or shall I think in silver she's immur'd,
Being ten times undervalued to tried gold?
O sinful thought! Never so rich a gem
Was set in worse than gold. They have in England,
A coin that bears the figure of an angel,
Stamped in gold; but that's insculp'd upon;
But here an angel in a golden bed
Lies all within.—Deliver me the key;
Here do I choose, and thrive I as I may!
PORTIA: There, take it, prince, and if my form lie there,
Then I am yours. [He unlocks the golden casket]
MOROCCO: O hell! what have we here?
A carrion Death, within whose empty eye
There is a written scroll? I'll read the writing.
[Reads]
All that glisters is not gold,
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold,
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd.
Fare you well; your suit is cold.
Cold, indeed; and labour lost.
Then, farewell heat; and welcome frost.—
Portia, adieu! I have too griev'd a heart
To take a tedious leave. Thus losers part.
Exit.
PORTIA: A gentle riddance:—Draw the curtains, go;—
Let all of his complexion choose me so.
Exeunt.
From a Monday meeting of President Barack Obama...
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Anybody want to tell me what they're asking for Christmas from Santa? What are you going to get?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: An iPod.
OBAMA: An iPod? Is that right? What kind of music are you going to listen to on the iPod?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A lot.
OBAMA: Like what kind — what — what — who do you...
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Rap music.
OBAMA: Rap music?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: Is that right? OK. All right. What are you — what — what are you going to get?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: An Apple.
OBAMA: You want an Apple?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: No, the Apple — like the Apple Touch. I want one of those.
OBAMA: Oh, is that like a...
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: It's like an iPod?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: No.
OBAMA: That's not like an iPod?
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: It's a phone.
OBAMA: It's a phone. It's like an iPhone.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: It's a touch screen.
OBAMA: It's a touch screen. That's why you need it. Yes, what are you looking for?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
OBAMA: Oh, that is — I love that Harry Potter books. Now, which one is that? Is that like...
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: The last one.
OBAMA: That's the last one?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: So you've got the first six already? You already read them?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: It's really good, isn't it? I love that Harry Potter. I sure do. Malia and I used to read that every night until we read through the whole series...
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: My daughter — all seven of them. So how about you?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I would like a DSI.
OBAMA: What's a DSI?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: It's a Nin — it's a Nintendo game that you play.
OBAMA: OK. Does it have a bunch of different games on there like Sins and all that stuff?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: Yes. Sasha likes those, too. All right, how about you?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A PSP.
OBAMA: A PSP? Is that — that's another kind of game thing?
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: ...portable.
OBAMA: Oh, OK. How about you?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I would like Blow TV and a — a DSI.
OBAMA: Jeesh. OK. And what about you?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A PSP.
OBAMA: A PSP?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: Now, let me ask you a question here, guys. Whatever happened to like asking for a bike?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I already have one.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I have one.
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: Everybody has already got a bike.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Everybody has...
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: ...for walking.
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I have three dirt bikes and I have a bike.
OBAMA: You have three dirt bikes?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes. And I have a (INAUDIBLE).
OBAMA: Goodness. Yes, what do you think ?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I want a Playstation 3.
OBAMA: OK. All right.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Me?
OBAMA: Yes. UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A cell phone.
OBAMA: You want a cell phone? Who are you going to call?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Everybody.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: And my family and my friends.
OBAMA: Your friends and family?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes. Yes.
OBAMA: What are you going to say to them?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: How are you doing?
OBAMA: How are you doing? But don't you — you're seeing your family and friends all the time. Why do you need a cell phone?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Because you can call.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Because like on the weekends and stuff...
(CROSSTALK)
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I just want one.
OBAMA: Yes?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
OBAMA: Well, can — can I say this — can I say this, though, guys? I think one thing that's important to remember is that, you know, even though there's a lot of fun to Christmas...
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: ...you know, you've got — especially when it's snowy like this, the — you know, so it's pretty outside. You've got the Christmas tree. You've got the Christmas cookies. You've got — you've got presents. You know, I think that the most important thing is just to remember why we celebrate Christmas, which is...
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Ooh. Ooh.
(CROSSTALK)
OBAMA: Do you know?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: The birth of baby Jesus.
OBAMA: The birth of baby Jesus. And the — and what he symbolizes for people all around the world is — is the possibility of peace and people treating each other with respect. And so I just hope that spirit of giving that's so important to Christmas, I hope that all of you guys remember that, as well. You know, it's not just about getting a gift, but it's also about doing something for other people.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I know.
OBAMA: So, you know, being nice to your mom and dad and grandma and aunties and showing respect to people, that's really important, too. That's part of the Christmas spirit, don't you think ?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Yes.
Pokemon Drinking Game
I found this hilarious game with rules that are completely impossible to remember when drunk. I especially like the very last rule.
Sip if any of the following occur:
Ash states the blatently obvious.
Ash turns his hat around.
Ash neglects his other Pokemon.
Ash fails to recognize Team Rocket.
A Pokemon evolves.
Brock has a love interest or tries a pick up line.
Tracey Sketches...
