Are you going to stop this instant, you dirty parasite?
PHANISCUS
(turning round.)
How am I a parasite?
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Why, I’ll tell you: you can be drawn anywhere by victuals.
Do you give yourself airs, because your master’s so fond of you?
PHANISCUS
(rubbing his eyes.)
O dear, my eyes do ache[*].
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Why so?
PHANISCUS
Because the smoke’s so troublesome.
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Hold your tongue, will you, you clever workman, who are in the habit of coining money out of lead[*].
PHANISCUS
You cannot compel me to be abusive to you. My master knows me.
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Why, really, his own pillow[*] he ought to know, for resting on when drunk.
PHANISCUS
If you were sober, you wouldn’t be abusive.
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Am I to give heed to you, when you won’t to me.
PHANISCUS
But, you rascal, you come along with me to fetch him.
ANOTHER SERVANT of Callidamates
Troth now, Phaniscus, prithee, do leave off[*] talking about these matters.
PHANISCUS
I’ll do so, and knock at the door. (Knocks at the door of the house of THEUROPIDES.) Hallo there! is there any person here to protect this door from a most serious injury? (Knocking again.) Is any one, is any one, I say, coming out here and going to open it?
Why, really, no one comes out here. Just as befits such worthless fellows, so they are. But on that account, I’ve the more need to be cautious that no one may come out and use me ill.
(They stand aside.)

(Enter TRANIO and THEUROPIDES, from the house of SIMO.)
TRANIO
What’s your opinion of this bargain?
THEUROPIDES
I am quite delighted.
TRANIO
Does it seem to you to have been bought too dear?
THEUROPIDES
I’ faith, I’m sure that I never anywhere saw a house thrown away, this one only excepted.
TRANIO
Does it please you, then?
THEUROPIDES
Does it please me, do you ask me? Why yes, upon my faith, it really does please me very much.
TRANIO
What a fine set of rooms for the women! What a porch!
THEUROPIDES
Exceedingly fine. For my part, I don’t think that there is any Porch larger than this in the public buildings.
TRANIO
Why, I myself and Philolaches have taken the measure sure of all the porches in the public buildings.
THEUROPIDES
Well, what then?
TRANIO
This is far larger than all of them.
THEUROPIDES
Immortal Gods—a splendid bargain! On my word, if he were now to offer six great talents of silver, ready money, for it, I would never take it.
TRANIO
Upon my faith, if you were inclined to take it, I would never let you.
THEUROPIDES
My money has been well invested upon this purchase.
