My Script

Leonato, Ursula, Margaret, Hero and Antonio wait in the court yard to meet Don Pedro, Claudio, Benedick and the others. Everybody is in joy when they see each other except Benedick and Beatrice. Just when Beatrice hears him, she starts insulting him:
Benedick is talking to Claudio and Don Pedro.
Beatrice: I’m amazed that you are still talking Benedick, because nobody is listening to you or what you say.
Benedick: Turns around in surprise. Lady Hate! Are you still alive? Everybody looks at them two arguing with each other.
Beatrice: Amazed. Can such hate even die when there is such fuel to refuel it? Don’t be stupid.
Benedick: Stupid? I am loved by all women except for you. But that’s OK; you’re so ugly a dog wouldn’t want to be seen with you. Benedick says in a calm voice. Everybody “OOOOO’S”.
Beatrice: I would rather hear my dog bark at a bird than hear you say you love me. Everybody laughs. Beatrice confident with her come back.
Benedick: At least, some men will escape your ugliness you call a face.
Beatrice: With an anger/ frown. Your face could not be uglier already!
Benedick: With laughter. All you do is say exactly as what I say. You’re just like a parrot…
Beatrice: At least what I say makes sense. Whatever you say doesn’t even matter because nobody is even listening.
Benedick: I wish my horse was as fast as your tongue. But whatever, it is fast enough.
Beatrice: You are a fat pig that does not even fit in its own clothes!
Benedick: How do you know that? Have you been checking my measurements? Asks silently, narrowed eyed with curiosity.
Beatrice: Every month you have a new friend. Do you get bored of the other friends or do bribe them to tag along?
Benedick: Then I will ask you the same question. Do you have any of those things called friends?
Beatrice: My friends are my cousins. But you on the other hand keep changing them every second because you get bored of them or whatever.
Benedick: With honesty and disappointment he says: I really do not like the way you look Beatrice. Don’t you want to change your face sooner or later? Others laugh.
Beatrice: A man does not look any different from a boy, especially you.
Benedick: Sad at first, end with a laugh. You have such a cold face it could freeze a mammoth in the middle of the summer! Others start laughing.
Beatrice: Just when everybody stops laughing, she starts giggling, thinking about her come back. You lost all of your wits and now you have to think with one. How does that feel?
Benedick: One of mine is better than two of yours. Don’t you think?
Beatrice: To think that, you must feel proud of yourself. What do you feel proud of? Hiding in the bush at war, while the others are fighting? Very brave I have to say.
Benedick: Squeals like a girl in surprise. Aah! Have you been spying on me?! Others start walking inside, leaving them two outside to argue.
Beatrice: Why do you always have to be so dumb?
Benedick: I am not dumb! He squeals. I think I will go now; there is no apparent reason to waste my time talking with you. Leaves Beatrice alone in the court yard.

Process

After we wrote the scripts, we handed them in to Mr. Thompson to grade. We are still waiting for the scripts to start planning them. Our group includes Namuun, Khlaiun, Min Jae and me. We decided to do Namuuns script which is Bust'd. She is not here today so our group is a bit lost. She was the only one to take notes so now we have little to do appart waiting for Mr. Thompson to give us our scripts back, graded. Every once in a while, we check the such tweet sorrow website to see what people are posting.
