All's Well 3.6 First Lord - Bertram/2nd Lord/ Parolles

Biggest Parolles hater - We're trying to convince Bertram to lose his trust in Parolles.

BERTRAM

Do you think I am so far deceived in him?

Second Lord

Believe it, my lord, he's a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker.

First Lord

It were fit you knew him; lest, he might at some great and trusty business in a main danger fail you.  Let him fetch off his drum, which you hear him so confidently undertake to do.

Second Lord      

  I, with a troop of Florentines, will suddenly surprise him; we will bind and hoodwink him so when we bring him to our own tents. Be but your lordship
present at his examination: if he do not, for the promise of his life and in the highest compulsion of base fear, offer to betray you and deliver all the intelligence in his power against you, never trust my judgment in anything.

First Lord

O, for the love of laughter, let him fetch his drum; Here he comes.

Enter PAROLLES

PAROLLES

I love not many words.

Exit

First Lord

No more than a fish loves water.

Second Lord

You do not know him, my lord, as we do.

BERTRAM

Why, do you think he will make no deed at all of this that so seriously he does address himself unto?

First Lord

None in the world; but return with an invention and clap upon you two or three probable lies: but you shall see his fall to-night; for indeed he is not for your lordship's respect.

Exeunt
