The Taming of The Shrew (1967)

Victor Spinetti: Hortensio

Quotes 

• Petruchio : Hortensio fears his widow.

  The Widow : I am not afeard.

  Petruchio : I mean, Hortensio is afeard of you.

  The Widow : Your husband, being troubled with a shrew, measures my husband's trouble by his own. And now you know my meaning.

  Katherina : A very mean meaning.

  The Widow : Right! I mean you!

  Petruchio : To her, Kate!

  Hortensio : To her, widow.

  Petruchio : A hundred crowns, my Kate will lay her flat!

• Hortensio : There is a favor I would ask of thee, to help me woo her younger sister, Bianca?

  Petruchio : Ask it and so it be not gold, is granted.

• Hortensio : Shall my friend Petruchio do me grace and offer me disguised in sober robes to old Baptista as a schoolmaster. As a schoolmaster? Well versed in music, to instruct Bianca; that so I may, by this device, at least have leave and leisure to make love to her and unsuspected woo her by herself.
