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.
TRANIO
Boldly confess that by my advice and prompting it was done, who urged him to take up the money of the Banker upon interest, which we paid this person by way of deposit.
THEUROPIDES
You’ve saved the whole ship. Eighty minae[*], you say, are owing for it?
TRANIO
Not a coin more.
THEUROPIDES
He may have it to-day.
TRANIO
By all means so, that there may be no dispute arising; or else pay them over to me, I’ll then pay them over to him.
THEUROPIDES
But still, don’t let there be any taking me in, if I do give them to you.
TRANIO
Could I venture to deceive you in deed or word even in jest only?
THEUROPIDES
Could I venture not to be on my guard against you, so as not to trust anything to you?
