=**Act 1, Scene 2, Line 173-221 (Modern Rewrite by Sehoon, Sara, and Ching)**=


 * Hortensio:** That’s great. And I’ve found a good music teacher for Bianca. I know I’ve fulfilled my duties for my love.


 * Gremio:** I love her more, and my actions can prove it.


 * Grumio:** [aside] More like his money can prove it.


 * Hortensio:** Now is not the time to fight who loves Bianca more. I have good news for us both.

//Presenting Petruchio//


 * Hortensio:** Here is a man I met by chance who has agreed to woo fierce Katherine, and marry her if the dowry is enough.


 * Gremio:** That is all well if he will do it. Hortensio, have you told him her faults?


 * Petruchio:** I know she’s an irritating, aggressive scold, but if that’s it, I’m okay.


 * Gremio:** Really? Where are you from?


 * Petruchio:** I’m from Verona, Antonio’s son. He left me a fortune when he died, and I want a good life.


 * Gremio:** A life with such a wife would be weird, but if you can do it, go for it in God’s name. I’ll help you in any way possible, but will you be able to woo this wild cat?


 * Petruchio:** Will I survive?


 * Grumio:** Will he woo her? If not, I’ll hang her.


 * Petruchio:** Why would I do this for that intent? You think a little noise can scare me? I, who have heard lions roar, raging storm, guns in the field and thunder in the sky? Have I not stood in battle hearing calls to arms, neighing steeds and trumpets? And you tell me that a woman's voice, that isn't half as a loud as a chestnut's pop in the fire? Psh, scare children why don't you.


 * Grumio:** He's not afraid of them.


 * Gremio:** Listen Hortensio, Petruchio's arrival could do good for both of us.


 * Hortensio:** I promised we'll all pay for wooing Katherine.


 * Gremio:** And we will, as long as he woos her.


 * Grumio:** I wish I were as certain as I would be for a fabulous dinner.
