John & Sherlock MST3K Much Ado About Nothing

But see, wait, now her father is saying he wants her to say yes if the Prince asks her to marry him.

Yes.

But the Prince is going to give her to Claudio.

Yes.

How is her father going to feel about that?

Glad to be rid of her.

Seriously, Sherlock. This is classic bait and switch. You want a Prince for the family and you end up with this sap, Claudio.

This was when you paid the man to take away your daughter, John.

*a considerable pause*

Hm. Right.
