[Textpart 3]
What’s this? Who is it, when I’m busy, causes me unseasonable delay?
PSEUDOLUS
He that has been your supporter.
BALLIO
He’s dead that has been; only he that is, is now alive.
PSEUDOLUS
You are too saucy.
BALLIO
You are too troublesome.
CALIDORUS
Seize the fellow: follow him up.
PSEUDOLUS
Let’s go and meet him this way.

PSEUDOLUS
That for yourself I wish.
BALLIO
And for both of you do I. Turn you this way, boy.
PSEUDOLUS
May we not speak with you?
BALLIO
Why, it doesn’t please me.
PSEUDOLUS
But if it’s something to your advantage?
BALLIO
Am I allowed to go away, pray, or am I not?
CALIDORUS
Ballio, listen.
