Will you go hear this news, signior?

 -Beatrice

 Much Ado About Nothing              Act V, Scene ii, Line 98

 

Ursula has just rushed in on Beatrice and Benedick with news for Beatrice (something about her uncle, and Hero, and the Prince, and others) and wants her to come with her to go see what’s going on. Beatrice turns to Benedick with today’s Totally Random line and Benedick replies

         I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes; and moreover I will go with thee to thy uncles.

 So, he couldn’t just say, yes, I’ll go to your uncles with you. Leave it to Will, only Will, to say yes in such a manner as this.

 End scene.

 

Here's three different versions of the Seuss Oh, the Places You'll Go pencil. Now we know where Beatrice and Benedick are going; they're going to go hear the news. 
So, where are you going to go?
