 NERISSA
80 Why, shall we turn to men?
NERISSA
Why, are we turning to men?
 PORTIA
  Fie, what a question's that
  If thou wert near a lewd interpreter!
  But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device
  When I am in my coach, which stays for us
85 At the park gate. And therefore haste away,
  For we must measure twenty miles today.
PORTIA
What kind of question is that! If I had a dirty mind, I'd think you meant turning to men for sex. Here, I'll tell you my whole plan in my carriage, which is waiting for us at the gate. So hurry up, because we have twenty miles to cover today.
Exeunt
They exit.
