IZZY: This is gonna wrap our practice up. Enter Heero and Sailor Neptune. Act V, Scene II: Leonato's garden. Action!
HEERO/BENEDICK: Sweet Mistress Margaret, thank you for helping me to the speech of Beatrice.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: *flirting a little* Will you write me a sonnet in praise of my beauty?
HEERO/BENEDICK: I so high a style, that no man living shall overcome it, for you truly deserve it. I pray you, call Beatrice.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: I will call Beatrice.
IZZY: Exit, Neptune. Get ready for your part Relena.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Sweet Beatrice, would you come when I called you?
RELENA/BEATRICE: Yes, signior and depart when you bid me.
HEERO/BENEDICK: O, stay till then!
RELENA/BEATRICE: 'Then' is spoken; let me go with that which I came, with knowing what has passed between you and Claudio.
HEERO/BENEDICK: *took a scared look at Milliardo and continued* Only foul words; and I will kiss you.
RELENA: *gets a dreamy look in her eyes* Okayyyyy ...
IZZY: Relena!!!! Look at the script. You don't go: Okayyyy ....
RELENA: Oh. *sheepishly* Sorry. Couldn't help myself there.
RELENA/BEATRICE: Foul words is foul wind and foul wind is foul breath and foul breath is noisome. Therefore I will depart unkissed.
HEERO/BENEDICK: I must tell you plainly, Claudio undergoes my challenge and either I must hear from him shortly or I will subscribe him a coward. And, I pray you now, tell me for which of my bad parts did you first fall in love with me?
DUO: *thinking* Why can't I just walk up and say that to Hilde. Man, I wish I had Heero's part.
RELENA/BEATRICE: All of them together for they will not allow any good part to intermingle with them.
NOIN: *holds Milliardo back*
MILLIARDO: *tries to wrench out of Noin's hold to go strangle Heero*
RELENA/BEATRICE: But for which of my good parts did you suffer love for me?
HEERO/BENEDICK: Suffer love-a good epithet! I do suffer love for I love you against my will.
RELENA/BEATRICE: I spite of your heart, poor heart! If you spite it for my sake, I will spite it for yours.
HEERO/BENEDICK: You and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
RELENA/BEATRICE: There's not one wise man among twenty who will praise himself.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Tell me, how is your cousin?
RELENA/BEATRICE: Very ill.
HEERO/BENEDICK: And you?
RELENA/BEATRICE: Very ill, too.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Here comes one in haste.
IZZY: Enter, Sailor Uranus.
URANUS/URSULA: Madam, you must come to your uncle. It has been proved that Lady Hero has been falsely accused. Will you come presently?
RELENA/BEATRICE: Will you go hear these news, signior?
HEERO/BENEDICK: I will live in your heart, die in your lap and be buried in your eyes; and moreover, I will go with you to your uncle's.
IZZY: Hey! That was great! And look! You didn't fog up the windows!
EVERYONE: *giggles*
IZZY: *goes to sit in Quatre's lap again* Now, Wufei, Duo and a couple tapers are in this scene. Act V, scene III: a church. Action!
DUO/CLAUDIO: Is this Leonato's monument?
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: It is.
DUO/CLAUDIO: *reading out of a scroll*
Done to death by slanderous tongues
Was the Hero that here lies:
Death in the reward of her wrongs,
Gives her fame which never dies.
So the life that died with shame
Lives in death with glorious fame.
Now, good night!
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: Thanks to you all and leave us. Good bye. Come, let us got to Leonato's.
IZZY: That's it for that scene! Exit guys. Now this scene has almost everyone in it. *gets up and out of Quatre's lap and looks at script* Now, Treize, Milliardo, Heero, Relena, Sailor Neptune and Uranus, Quatre and Hilde are all in this scene. Act V, Scene IV: a room in Leonato's house. Action!
QUATRE/FRIAR FRANCIS: Didn't I tell you she was innocent?
MILLIARDO/ANTONIO: Well, I am glad that things all sorted out.
HEERO/BENEDICK: And so am I.
TREIZE/LEONATO: Well, gentlewomen all, withdraw into a chamber and when I send for you, come masked.
IZZY: Exit, ladies, please.
TREIZE/LEONATO: The prince and Claudio promised to visit me. You know your office brother: You must give my daughter to young Claudio.
MILLIARDO/ANTONIO: And that I will do.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Friar, I must entreat your pains, I think.
QUATRE/FRIAR FRANCIS: To do what signior?
HEERO/BENEDICK: To bind me, or undo me; one of them. Signior Leonato, truth it is, your niece regards me with an eye of favor.
TREIZE/LEONATO: It is true.
HEERO/BENEDICK: And I do requite her with an eye of love.
TREIZE/LEONATO: What's your will?
HEERO/BENEDICK: My will is to joined in the state of honorable marriage today: good friar, I shall desire your help.
DUO: Whoa! Did Heero just say that?
IZZY: Shut the heck up Duo. It's not Heero. It's Benedick. Get over yourself.
TREIZE/LEONATO: My heart is with your liking.
QUATRE/FRIAR FRANCIS: And my help. Here comes the prince and Claudio.
IZZY: You heard Quatre. Get it there.
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: Good day.
TREIZE/LEONATO: Good day, prince, Claudio: are you going to marry my brother's daughter?
IZZY: Exit Antonio.
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: Good day, Benedick. What's the matter?
DUO/CLAUDIO: I think he is in love. Here comes some.
IZZY: Re-enter Antonio with all the ladies who are masked.
DUO/CLAUDIO: Which is the lady I must seize upon?
MILLIARDO/ANTONIO: This is she and I give her to you.
DUO/CLAUDIO: Sweet, let me see your face.
TREIZE/LEONATO: No, until you take her hand and swear to marry her.
DUO/CLAUDIO: Give me your hand: I am your husband if you like of me.
HILDE/HERO: *unmasking* And when I lived, I was your other wife. And when you loved, you were my other husband.
DUO/CLAUDIO: Another Hero!
HILDE/HERO: One Hero died defiled, but I do live. *kisses Claudio*
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: The former Hero! Hero that is dead!
TREIZE/LEONATO: She died, my lord, while her slander lived.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Soft and fair, friar. Which is Beatrice?
RELENA/BEATRICE: *unmasking* I answer to that name. What is your will?
HEERO/BENEDICK: Do you not love me?
RELENA/BEATRICE: Why, no; no more than reason.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Why then, your uncle and the prince and Claudio have been deceived; they swore you did.
RELENA/BEATRICE: Do you not love me?
HEERO/BENEDICK: Why, no; no more than reason.
RELENA/BEATRICE: Whey, then my cousin, Margaret and Ursula are much deceived; for they swore you did.
HEERO/BENEDICK: They swore you were almost sick for me.
RELENA/BEATRICE: They swore that you were dead for me.
HEERO/BENEDICK: It is no such matter. Then you do not love me?
RELENA/BEATRICE: No, truly, but in friendly recompence.
TEREIZE/LEONATO: Come, cousin, I am sure you love the gentleman.
DUO/CLAUDIO: And I'll swear that he loves her. Here's a paper, written in his handwriting, a halting sonnet of his own pure brain fashioned to Beatrice.
HILDE/HERO: And here's another, written in my cousin's hand, stolen from her pocket, containing her affection for Benedick.
HEERO/BENEDICK: A miracle! Here's our own hands against our hearts. Come, I will have you; but, by thsi light, I take you for pity.
RELENA/BEATRICE: I would not deny yout; but, by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion; and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Peace! I will stop your mouth. *kisses her*
RELENA: *wraps arms around his neck*
HEERO: *wraps arms around her waist*
IZZY: *annoyed, begins tapping her foot* Okay, guys, that's enough.
HEERO and RELENA: *ignores Izzy*
IZZY: GUYS, I said that was enough.
HEERO and RELENA: *keeps on ignoring Izzy*
IZZY: Uranus, Neptune. A little help here.
URANUS and NEPTUNE: *walks up to Relena and Heero and rips them apart*
MILLIARDO: *puts back the shot gun he had previously loaded*
WUFEI/DON PEDRO: How are you, Benedick, the married man?
HEERO/BENEDICK: Come, come, we are friends: let's have a dance. We may lighten our own hearts and our wives' heels.
TREIZE/LEONATO: We'll have dancing afterwards.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Prince, you are sad; get yourself a wife.
IZZY: Enter a messenger.
MESSENGER: My lord, your brother John is taken in flight and brought with armed men back to Messina.
HEERO/BENEDICK: Do not think about him until tomorrow: I'll devise brave punishments for him. Strike up, pipers.
IZZY: Now you guys dance, yadda yadda yadda, and exit. That's it!!!! Yay!!!!! I'll see you all tomorrow and we'll take it from the top.
EVERYONE: *groans*
IZZY: You guys are such big babies. I'll see you later. *exits*
