 FALSTAFF
  How? The Prince is a jack, a sneak-up. 'Sblood, an he were
  here, I would cudgel him like a dog if he would say so.
FALSTAFF
What? The Prince is a bastard, a sneak. Dammit, if he were here and said something like that, I'd beat him like a dog.
Enter PRINCE HENRY and PETO, marching, and FALSTAFF meets them laying on his truncheon like a fife
PRINCE HENRY and PETO enter, marching like soldiers. FALSTAFF joins them, pretending that his cudgel is a fife, or military flute.
  How now, lad, is the wind in that door, i' faith? Must we all
  march?
Hey there, lad! Is that what's happening? Are we all going to march?
 BARDOLPH
80 Yea, two and two, Newgate fashion.
BARDOLPH
Yes, side by side, like prisoners to the gallows.
 MISTRESS QUICKLY
  My lord, I pray you, hear me.
MISTRESS QUICKLY
My lord, please, listen to me.
 PRINCE HENRY
  What sayest thou, Mistress Quickly? How doth thy
  husband? I love him well; he is an honest man.
PRINCE HENRY
What is it, Mistress Quickly? How's your husband? I think highly of him; he's an honest man.
 MISTRESS QUICKLY
  Good my lord, hear me.
MISTRESS QUICKLY
My lord, please listen to me.
 FALSTAFF
85 Prithee, let her alone, and list to me.
FALSTAFF
Forget about her, and listen to me.
 PRINCE HENRY
  What say'st thou, Jack?
PRINCE HENRY
What is it, Jack?
 FALSTAFF
  The other night I fell asleep here behind the arras, and had
  my pocket picked. This house is turned bawdy house; they
  pick pockets.
FALSTAFF
The other night I fell asleep here behind the arras and I had my pocket picked. This bar's like a whorehouse: they pick your pockets.
 PRINCE HENRY
90 What didst thou lose, Jack?
PRINCE HENRY
What did you lose, Jack?
 FALSTAFF
  Wilt thou believe me, Hal, three or four bonds of forty pound
  apiece, and a seal ring of my grandfather's.
FALSTAFF
Would you believe it, Hal? Three or four I.O.U.'s worth forty pounds each, and my grandfather's sealing ring.
 PRINCE HENRY
  A trifle, some eightpenny matter.
PRINCE HENRY
Junk, not worth more than eight pennies.
