Beatrice : I pray you, who is his companion now? He hath every month a new sworn brother.
Messenger : He is most in the company of the right noble Claudio.
Beatrice : O lord, he will hang upon him like a disease. He is sooner caught than the pestilence and the taker runs presently mad. God help the noble Claudio. If he have caught the Benedick, 'twill cost him a thousand pound ere he be cured.

Beatrice : Is Signior Mountanto returned from the wars or no?
Messenger : I know none of that name, lady.
Hero : My cousin means Signior Benedick of Padua.
Messenger : Oh, he's returned and as pleasant as ever he was.
Beatrice : I pray you, how many hath he killed and eaten in these wars? But how many hath he killed? For indeed I promised to eat all of his killing.
Messenger : He hath done good service and a good soldier too, lady.
Beatrice : And a good soldier to a lady. But what is he to a lord?
Messenger : A lord to a lord. A man to a man, stuffed with all honorable virtues.
Beatrice : It is so, indeed. He is no less than a stuffed man.
Leonato : You must not, sir, mistake my niece. There is a kind of merry war betwixt Signior Benedick and her. They never meet, but there's a skirmish of wit between them.
Beatrice : Who is his companion now? He hath every month a new sworn brother.
Messenger : He is most in the company of the right and noble Claudio.
Beatrice : O lord! He will hang upon him like a disease. He is sooner caught than the pestilence, and the taker runs presently mad. God help the noble Claudio! If he have caught the Benedick, it will cost him a thousand pound ere he be cured.
Messenger : I will keep friends with you, lady.
Beatrice : [Chuckles] Do, good friend.
Leonato : You will never run mad, niece.
Beatrice : No, not till a hot January.
