No Fear Shakespeare: Othello: Act 4, scene i

	IAGO
	Her honor is an essence that's not seen,
	They have it very oft that have it not.
	But for the handkerchief—

IAGO

You can't see a reputation. A lot of people don't even deserve the reputations they have. But a handkerchief—

	OTHELLO
	By heaven, I would most gladly have forgot it.
20	Thou saidst—Oh, it comes o'er my memory,
	As doth the raven o'er the infectious house,
	Boding to all—he had my handkerchief.

OTHELLO

God, I wish I could forget about the handkerchief! What you told me it haunts me like a nightmare—he's got my handkerchief!

	IAGO
	Ay, what of that?

IAGO

Yes, what about it?

	OTHELLO
	That's not so good now.

OTHELLO

That's not good.

	IAGO
	What if I had said I had seen him do you wrong?
25	Or heard him say—as knaves be such abroad,
	Who having, by their own importunate suit,
	Or voluntary dotage of some mistress,
	Convincèd or supplied them, cannot choose
	But they must blab—

IAGO

What if I'd said I saw him do something to hurt you? Or heard him say something about it. You know there are jerks out there who have to brag about bedding some woman.—

	OTHELLO
	Hath he said any thing?

OTHELLO

Has he said anything?

	IAGO
30	He hath, my lord, but be you well assured
	No more than he'll unswear.

IAGO

Yes, but he'd deny it all.

	OTHELLO
	What hath he said?

OTHELLO

What did he say?

	IAGO
	Why, that he did—I know not what he did.

IAGO

He said he did—I don't know.

	OTHELLO
	What? what?

OTHELLO

He what?

	IAGO
	Lie—

IAGO

He was in bed with—

	OTHELLO
	With her?

OTHELLO

With her?
