Oh, the Drama.

Our study of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing this quarter has culminated in the performance of monologues and dialogues from the play. The performances have been highly entertaining, revealing what we all have suspected for some time:  the senior class possesses a penchant for the dramatic!  
BEATRICE 
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man
swear he loves me.
BENEDICK
God keep your ladyship still in that mind so some
gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate
scratched face.
BEATRICE
Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such
a face as yours were.
CLAUDIO
Thou thinkest I am in sport: I pray thee tell me
truly how thou likest her.
BENEDICK
Would you buy her, that you inquire after her?
CLAUDIO
Can the world buy such a jewel?
BENEDICK
Yea, and a case to put it into.
