Mistress Ford, your sorrow hath eaten up my sufferance. I see you are
obsequious in your love, and I profess requital to a hair’s breadth,
not only, Mistress Ford, in the simple office of love, but in all the
accoutrement, compliment, and ceremony of it. But are you sure of your
husband now?
Mistress Ford, your sadness has worn away my patience. I can see you're truly devoted in your love, and I promise to return it perfectly—not just in simple acts of love, Mistress Ford, but in all the compliments, formality, and ceremony that comes with it. But are you absolutely certain about your husband now?
Mistress Ford, your sadness has gotten to me. I can see how much you care about me, and I'm promising to give you exactly the same back—not just the physical stuff, but all the romance, all the compliments, everything. But are you totally sure your husband isn't coming back?
your sadness got to me i see how much you love me i'll give it back all the romance all of it but real talk your husband definitely not coming?
He’s a-birding, sweet Sir John.
He's out hunting, sweet Sir John.
He went hunting, babe.

Step into the chamber, Sir John.
Go into the bedroom, Sir John.
Get into the other room, Sir John.

Why, none but mine own people.
Well, only my own servants.
Just my servants, that's all.
just my staff
Indeed?
Indeed?

No, certainly.
[_Aside to her_.] Speak louder.
No, definitely. Speak louder.
Not at all. Talk louder.

Truly, I am so glad you have nobody here.
Truly, I'm so glad you have nobody here.
I'm really relieved nobody else is around.
good nobody else is here
Why?
Why?
why?
why?
Why, woman, your husband is in his old lunes again. He so takes on
yonder with my husband, so rails against all married mankind, so curses
all Eve’s daughters, of what complexion soever, and so buffets himself
on the forehead, crying “Peer out, peer out!” that any madness I ever
yet beheld seemed but tameness, civility, and patience, to this his
distemper he is in now. I am glad the fat knight is not here.
Your husband is having another one of his episodes. He's going at it with my husband, railing against all married men, cursing every woman ever, and slapping his forehead, yelling 'Peer out, peer out!' I've never seen madness like it compared to how crazy he is right now. I'm glad that fat knight isn't here.
Your husband's lost it again. He's completely going off on my husband, ranting about all married guys, cursing every woman, and hitting himself in the head yelling 'Come out, come out!' - I've never seen anyone act so insane. Thank God that fat knight isn't here.
ur husband is losing it again. ranting bout married men, cursing all women, hitting himself & yelling. ive never seen anything this crazy lol
Why, does he talk of him?
What? He's talking about Falstaff?
Wait, he's talking about Falstaff?
bout falstaff?
Of none but him, and swears he was carried out, the last time he
searched for him, in a basket; protests to my husband he is now here;
and hath drawn him and the rest of their company from their sport, to
make another experiment of his suspicion. But I am glad the knight is
not here. Now he shall see his own foolery.
Only about him. He swears Falstaff was carried out in a basket last time he searched the house. He's told my husband he's certain he's here now, and has dragged him and all the others away from their hunting to search again for Falstaff. But I'm glad the knight isn't here. Now he'll see his own foolishness.
Just him, that's all he talks about. He swears Falstaff got carried out in a basket when he searched before. He keeps insisting to my husband that Falstaff's here now, and he's gotten him and everyone else to abandon hunting so they can search again. But I'm relieved the knight isn't here now. He's about to learn how stupid he's being.
only bout him. he swears falstaff left in a basket. keeps saying hes here now, made everyone stop hunting to search again. glad the knight isnt here tho lol
How near is he, Mistress Page?
How close is he, Mistress Page?
How far away is he right now?

Hard by, at street end. He will be here anon.
Right nearby, at the end of the street. He'll be here in a moment.
Just down the street. He'll be here any second.

I am undone! The knight is here.
I'm ruined! The knight is here.
Oh no! Falstaff's here!
no!! the knight is here
Why, then, you are utterly shamed, and he’s but a dead man. What a
woman are you! Away with him, away with him! Better shame than murder.
Then you're completely humiliated, and he's as good as dead. What kind of woman are you? Get him out of here, get him out! Better to be embarrassed than dead.
Then you're totally ruined, and he's done for. What are you doing? Get him out of here! Better to be shamed than murdered.
ur done & hes dead. get him out!! better shame than death
Which way should he go? How should I bestow him? Shall I put him into
the basket again?
Which way should he go? Where can I hide him? Should I put him in the basket again?
Where can he go? How do I hide him? Should I use the basket again?
where can he go?? where do i hide him?? basket again??
No, I’ll come no more i’ the basket. May I not go out ere he come?
No, I won't go in that basket again. Can't I leave before he arrives?
No way I'm getting in that basket again. Can't I just get out before he shows up?
no not the basket again. can i just leave
Alas, three of Master Ford’s brothers watch the door with pistols, that
none shall issue out, otherwise you might slip away ere he came. But
what make you here?
Unfortunately, three of Master Ford's brothers are watching the door with guns, so nobody can get out. Otherwise you could slip away before he came. But what are you doing here?
Sorry, but three of Ford's brothers are standing guard at the door with pistols. No one can leave. Otherwise you could sneak out before he got here. But what are you even doing in the house?

Where is it?
Where is it?

He will seek there, on my word. Neither press, coffer, chest, trunk,
well, vault, but he hath an abstract for the remembrance of such
places, and goes to them by his note. There is no hiding you in the
house.
He will search there, I promise you. Every hiding place—shelves, chests, trunks, wells, vaults—he has a checklist. He goes from place to place checking them off. There's nowhere in this house you can hide.
Trust me, he'll look there too. Every possible hiding spot—closets, boxes, trunks, wells, storage spaces—he has a whole list he goes through. There's nowhere safe in this house.
hell check there. every spot - closets chests trunks wells vaults. hes got a list. nowhere safe
I’ll go out then.
Then I have no choice but to leave.
Then I'm getting out of here.

If you go out in your own semblance, you die, Sir John—unless you go
out disguised.
If you go out looking like yourself, you'll die, Sir John—unless you go in disguise.
If you walk out looking like that, you're dead, Sir John—unless you're dressed as someone else.

How might we disguise him?
How can we disguise him?
How are we going to disguise him?

Alas the day, I know not. There is no woman’s gown big enough for him;
otherwise he might put on a hat, a muffler, and a kerchief, and so
escape.
I don't know what to do. There's no woman's dress big enough for him. Otherwise he could just put on a hat, a scarf, and a head covering and escape.
I have no idea. There's no dress big enough for him. But if there was, he could just throw on a hat, wrap a scarf, put on a head cloth, and leave.
idk. no dress big enough. but hed need hat scarf & headcloth & hed escape
Good hearts, devise something. Any extremity rather than a mischief.

I would my husband would meet him in this shape. He cannot abide the
old woman of Brentford; he swears she’s a witch, forbade her my house,
and hath threatened to beat her.
I hope my husband runs into him dressed like this. He can't stand the old woman of Brentford. He swears she's a witch, he's banned her from my house, and he's threatened to beat her.
I wish my husband would show up right now and see him dressed like that. He hates that old woman from Brentford. He calls her a witch, he's forbidden her from our house, and he says he's going to hit her if she shows up.

We'll test that theory. I'll tell my servants to carry the basket again. We'll have them meet him at the door with it, just like last time.

We’ll leave a proof, by that which we will do,
Wives may be merry and yet honest too.
We do not act that often jest and laugh;
’Tis old but true: “Still swine eats all the draff.”
Damn that dishonest coward! We can't treat him badly enough. We'll prove by what we do That wives can be merry and still be good. We don't act the way people jokingly say we do. It's an old saying but true: 'Still the pig eats all the waste.'
Screw that lying crook! We can't punish him enough. We'll show through what we do That wives can have fun and still be decent. We're not what people joke about. It's old but true: 'The pig still eats all the slop.'

Why, this passes, Master Ford! You are not to go loose any longer; you

A witch, a quean, an old cozening quean! Have I not forbid her my
house? She comes of errands, does she? We are simple men; we do not
know what’s brought to pass under the profession of fortune-telling.
She works by charms, by spells, by the figure, and such daubery as this
is, beyond our element. We know nothing.—Come down, you witch, you hag,
you! Come down, I say!
A witch, a fraud, an old swindling fraud! Haven't I forbidden her from my house? She shows up for errands, does she? We're simple men. We don't understand what happens with these fake fortunetellers. She works with magic tricks, spells, drawings, and other nonsense like that, beyond what we understand. We know nothing. Come down, you witch, you old hag! Come down, I say!
A witch, a con artist, an old con woman! Didn't I ban her from my house? She's coming here on errands? Look, we're just regular guys. We don't get how these fake fortunetellers operate. She does magic tricks, spells, drawings, and stuff like that—it's beyond us. We don't know anything about it. Get down here, you witch! Get down, I'm telling you!

’oman has a great peard. I spy a great peard under her muffler.
Indeed, I think the woman is actually a witch. I don't like it when a woman has a big beard. I can see a big beard under her head covering.

No, by God, he didn't. He beat him very cruelly, I thought.
No, he absolutely didn't. He beat him super hard, if you ask me.

I’ll have the cudgel hallowed and hung o’er the altar. It hath done
meritorious service.
I'll have the club blessed and hung over the altar. It's done important work.
I'm going to have that club blessed and hung in the church. It's earned it.
gonna get that club blessed & hung in church lol
What think you? May we, with the warrant of womanhood and the witness
of a good conscience, pursue him with any further revenge?
What do you think? Can we, with the right to be women and a clear conscience, keep punishing him more?
Do you think we should keep going after him? With everything we know, should we hurt him more?
should we keep going? do more 2 him?
The spirit of wantonness is sure scared out of him. If the devil have
him not in fee-simple, with fine and recovery, he will never, I think,
in the way of waste, attempt us again.
The spirit of lust is definitely frightened out of him. If the devil doesn't own him outright with all legal rights, he will never, I think, try to seduce us again.
His sexual desire is definitely dead now. Unless the devil owns him completely, he's never going to try anything with us again.
hes scared straight. devils gotta own him now or hell never try again
Shall we tell our husbands how we have served him?
Should we tell our husbands what we did to him?
Should we tell our husbands what we did?
should we tell our husbands
Yes, by all means, if it be but to scrape the figures out of your
husband’s brains. If they can find in their hearts the poor unvirtuous
fat knight shall be any further afflicted, we two will still be the
ministers.
Yes, definitely, especially to remove the delusions from your husband's mind. If they can bring themselves to forgive the poor worthless fat knight for his continued bad behavior, the two of us will still be there to punish him.
Yes, absolutely, especially to get those crazy ideas out of your husband's head. If he and his friends decide to keep torturing the poor jerk, we'll be right there helping.
yes! 2 get it thru ur hubbys head. if they wanna keep punishing him well help
I’ll warrant they’ll have him publicly shamed, and methinks there would
be no period to the jest should he not be publicly shamed.
I guarantee they'll humiliate him publicly, and I think the joke wouldn't be complete if he weren't humiliated publicly.
I'm sure they'll shame him in front of everyone, and honestly, it wouldn't be right if they didn't.
hell be publicly shamed & it wont b complete if he isnt
Come, to the forge with it, then shape it. I would not have things
cool.
Come on, let's take it to the blacksmith and shape it. I don't want to let this moment cool down.
Come on, let's keep the momentum going. I don't want this energy to die down.
lets keep going. dont want momentum 2 die
The Reckoning
The wives turn Falstaff's second seduction attempt into his most humiliating punishment yet, and Ford's jealousy lands on the wrong target in the funniest possible way. The scene runs on two jokes at once. Ford is sure he is too clever to be fooled twice, so he rips apart a basket of dirty laundry in front of his friends while the real man walks out dressed as a woman. Falstaff, who swaggers as a great lover, gets beaten as a scorned old woman. Notice Mistress Page's couplet at the centre, 'Wives may be merry and yet honest too': it gives the play its title and its moral. By the end the wives decide to tell their husbands, and the private revenge turns into a public plot.
If this happened today…
You and your best friend have already pranked the smug guy who sent you both the same flirty DMs, and he's somehow back for more. Then your partner, who has been convinced for weeks that something's going on, storms in with three friends to go through your phone. The creep is hiding in the next room, so you put him in your aunt's huge floral coat and headscarf. Your partner can't stand your aunt and chases the 'aunt' out of the house with a broom. Afterwards you both look at each other and decide it's time to let everyone in on the joke.
