[Venice; Shylock's yard]

(Enter Antonio, Bassanio and Shylock)

Shylock: *Alseep on a bench, sleep talking* Antonio! Antonio! I'm gonna  kill you, you bastard!

Antonio: ...

Bassanio: ...

Antonio: Oh, well. Shylock... *Voice barely above a whisper as he carefully touches Shylock's shoulder*

Bassanio: Shylock, old mate...?

Shylock: *Suddenly wakes up*
What the fuck do you want?!

Antonio: *Scared fuckless*
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm just here to make a deal.

Shylock: Deal? A deal with you? You must be kidding yourself, hah.
Hell no.

Bassanio: Aahhh! Just hear him out, brethren.

Shylock: That's not such a good idea, I feel.

Antonio: Shylock, dude, listen.
There's this rich idiot, Portia. You know her, yeah?

Shylock: Yeah, so? What about her?

Antonio: Well, Bassanio here is going to woo her, for which he needs money and then we plan on splitting her money in half. Sounds like a plan, eh?

Shylock: Aha! So, that's your plan. What do you want from me, then? And, why on earth are you telling me your motives?

Bassanio: Lend us money, duh.

Antonio: 3000 ducats.

Shylock: Okay, fine.
But.

Bassanio: But...?

Shylock: I have a condition, duh. *Mocks Bassanio while he deadpans*

Antonio: Which is...?

Shylock: (To himself) Man, it's so cool to have these two idiots hanging on to my every word.
(To the them) If you fail to return my money in, say...three months, is that fine?

Antonio: Yeah, my ships would be back by then, sure. Go ahead.

Shylock: Yeah, so, if you fail to return the money back by three months, I will have a pound of your flesh from any part of your body, I fucking desire.

Antonio: Okay, cool.

Bassanio: ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?!

Antonio: If you interrupt my transactions one more time in this life or other, I swear to god, I'll cut your balls off.

Shylock: I'm not done yet.

Antonio: Oh, okay, go on...

Shylock: That one pound may include skin, blood, bodily hair, bone scrapings, bone pieces, enzymes, nails, etcetera.
No cheating, yeah?

Antonio: Yeah, yeah. Okay!

Shylock: Cool. Here, take the money. Goodbye!
