Fairies lets by on our way. (walks out) Oberon : Puck come here. Puck : Yes, my lord? Oberon : Fetch me the flower that fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness. When you drop the juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid will make a man or woman madly in love upon the next live creature that it sees. Fetch me this herb; and be thou here again Ere the leviathan can swim a league. Puck : As you wish my Lord. ( Bow and leave) Oberon : Having once this juice, I'll watch Titania when she is asleep, And drop the liquor of it in her eyes.

Demetrius : No, I wont stop until I found my Hermia. Why you keep following me. Dont you know that I got sick when I look on thee. Helena : And I get sick when I look not on you. Exit

Now Puck go and accomplish this quest. Narrator : Titania and her train are in the other part of the woods. Titania : Come, now a roundel and a fairy song; At our quaint spirits.

(Exeunt QUINCE, SNUG, FLUTE, SNOUT, and STARVELING) PUCK : I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round, Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier: Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound, A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire; And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn, Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn. (Exit) BOTTOM : Why do they run away? Was my face too oily?? Or UGLY?? (Re-enter SNOUT) SNOUT : O Bottom, what happen to you!?> BOTTOM : What do you see? you see an asshead of your own, do you?

Narrator : Titania fell in love with Nick Bottom that turned to an ass. And they sleep together. While in the other part of the forest, Puck make a fog all around until the four couples cant see each other. He start to mimick their voice. Puck : (as lysander) Helena is mine!! I deserve her love than yours!! Demetrius : Oh man!! You just came and troubled our love. Helena is in love with me, dont you know? Puck : (as lysander) But you cant tell what the person really feel. Days will come, Helenas feelings might change. Demetrius : It will not change if Ill show my love for her. ( walk fast and bumped into the tree and fell asleep) Narrator : Puck made Demetrius asleep and heard the voice of lysander. Lysander : Demetrius, youre such a coward. Where are you? Face me!! Puck : (as Demetrius) Im not a coward! You are Ill get Helena away from you. Lysander : I wont give her.. haaa.. Im the one that really love her! Puck : (as Demetrius) What are you talking about? I love her more than yours! And we all know that Im tha one shes involved with.

Lysander : Shut up! Puck : (as Demetrius) pinalo si Lysander sa ulo para makatulog. Narrator : After that, he heard the voices of the 2 girls. He made them asleep by giving them scented leaves. He placed Hermia to Lysanders side and Helena to the side of Demitrius. Theseus and Hippolyta discover the sleeping lovers in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married Demetrius now loves Helena, and Lysander now loves Hermia. After the group wedding, the lovers watch Bottom and his fellow craftsmen perform their play, a fumbling, hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. When the play is completed, the lovers go to bed; the fairies briefly emerge to bless the sleeping couples with a protective charm and then disappear. Only Puck remains, to ask the audience for its forgiveness and approval and to urge it to remember the play as though it had all been a dream. PUCK : If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
