00:00I will do a famous speech from the German's Sherlock.
00:08Ah, yes.
00:14To bait, what will I do with the flesh?
00:20I don't know, nothing.
00:23I guess I will bait fish with it.
00:27If it feed neither that, it will feed my revenge.
00:34He hath disgraced me, hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains,
00:44scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cruel to my friends, hated my enemies, and what is his reason?
00:53I am a Jew.
00:58Hath not the Jew eyes, hath not the Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions,
01:07fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
01:13warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as the Christians?
01:20If you tickle us, do we not bleed?
01:24If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
01:29If you poison us, do we not die?
01:34And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
01:40If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
01:45If a Jew wronged a Christian, what is his humility?
01:50Revenge!
01:52If a Christian wronged a Jew, what should his sufferance be?
01:57The Christian example!
02:02My revenge.
02:05If we are like you in the rest, we shall resemble you in that.
02:16The villainy you teach me, I will execute.
02:22It shall go hard.
02:25But I will better the instruction.
02:34I'm sure if you forfeit, you will not take his flesh.
02:38What's that good for?
02:41To bait fish without.
02:44If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.
02:51He hath disgraced me and hindered me half a million,
02:57laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation,
03:02thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated my enemies,
03:06and what's his reason?
03:08I am a Jew!
03:11Hath that a Jew eyes?
03:14Hath that a Jew hands?
03:16Organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
03:23Fed with the same food?
03:26Hurt with the same weapons?
03:28Subject to the same diseases?
03:31Healed by the same means?
03:33Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?
03:39If you prick us, do we not bleed?
03:42If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
03:45If you poison us, do we not die?
03:48And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
03:53If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
03:59If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?
04:03Revenge?
04:05If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferings be?
04:09By Christian example!
04:12Why revenge?
04:14The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard,
04:20but I will bear the instruction.
04:27I am a Jew!
04:30Hath that a Jew eyes?
04:33Hath that a Jew hands?
04:35Organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
04:42Fed with the same food?
04:45Hurt with the same weapons?
04:47Subject to the same diseases?
04:50Cured by the same means?
04:52Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian?
04:57Ships are but boards.
04:59Sailors but men.
05:01There be land rats and water rats,
05:05water thieves and land thieves.
05:09I mean pie rats.
05:15And then there is the perils of waters, winds, and rocks.
05:21The man is notwithstanding sufficient.
05:25He hath disgraced me,
05:28hindered me half a million,
05:31laughed at my losses,

06:18If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
06:22If you poison us, do we not die?
06:26And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
