A Midsummer-Night's Dream

Act I: Scene II: Athens. Quince's house.

QUINCE ... you must needs play Pyramus.

BOTTOM Well, I will undertake it. What beard were I best to play it in?

QUINCE Why, what you will.

BOTTOM I will discharge it in either your straw-colour beard, your orange-tawny beard, your purple-in-grain beard, or your French-crown-colour beard, your perfect yellow.

QUINCE Quite a choice, but have you seen the new range at Beard City?

BOTTOM Nay, I have not.

QUINCE The Winter season's beards have just arrived at Beard City, and if you come in now, we'll give you five beards for the price of four. And not only that, but you can check out our large range of false moustaches.

BOTTOM But hast thou a beard for Pyramus?

QUINCE Sir, we have the largest range of beards in the southern hemisphere! From our bargain Chadwick and Hinch models, right up to the classical Da Vinci style and the top of the range - the Jesus.

BOTTOM I fear for the quality and steadfastness of the product.
