Hermia follows Helena

Demetrius and Lysander-Helena, wait!

Helena-None of your words can hurt me, Demetrius.

Demetrius-And what if I said you were like an obnoxious little dog, and that I'd tie you up if you were!

Helena-Oh Demetrius, don't say so! I beg you, don't!-

Demetrius-Away from me, Helena. I am looking for Hermia.

Theseus-Oh Hippolyta, my love, only you have the power to soften my heart. Alright then, Hermia. I'll give you a choice. You may marry Demetrius, or you must enter a nunnery.-

Demetrius-Come Hermia, surely you'll choose me!-

Helena-But Demetrius...

Demetrius-Go ahead and cry, if you must. Maybe you'll finally see the truth: you are not worthy of my greatness.

Theseus-Ah yes, now I remember! Why have you come before me today?

Demetrius-Great Duke, I no longer want to marry Hermia.

Helena-I wish you wouldn't look for her anymore. I wish you'd look for me instead. I am easy to find!-

Demetrius-Helena! How many times must I tell you? I love you no more!

Demetrius enters stage left. Helena is chasing him.

Demetrius-Helena, you must stop your chase.

Demetrius enters upstage left. He walks behind the trees. He is looking for Hermia.

Demetrius-Hermia? Why do you hide in these woods?

Lysander lays down to sleep down stage left. Demetrius enters up stage right

Demetrius-I cannot chase him. He is too quick! I shall sleep until the sunlight wakes me.

Helena-And Demetrius? Might you marry me?

Demetrius-I feel as if I am meant to, dear Helena.

Helena-But why are you not glad to see me?-

Demetrius-I look for Hermia, not you.

Egeus-But Demetrius, I thought-

Demetrius-I no longer love her, I would rather marry Helena.

Helena-But Demetrius, I love you. I shall never stop chasing you. Not until you return my love.

Demetrius-I shall never return your love Helena. I find you terribly annoying and disgusting.

Demetrius wakes up and sees Helena.

Demetrius-Is this an angel I see? Helena, you are the most beautiful maiden I have ever seen!

Helena-And Demetrius? Will you still say you love me?

Demetrius-It feels strange, but yes, I do. Lysander, I no longer wish to marry Hermia. You may marry her yourself.

Demetrius enters stage right

Demetrius-It's getting too dark for me to continue my chase. I'll sleep here until morning comes.

Puck exits stage right, Lysander follows, Demetrius enters stage left.

Demetrius-Lysander, come and fight like a man!

Helena-If I told you where she was, would you then love me?

Demetrius-Never! Now stop this nonsense. Leave me be!

Helena-Hello Demetrius!-

Demetrius-Oh no. Not you again.

Helena-Oh, but Demetrius! You wouldn't do me harm, would you?

Demetrius-Oh yes I would do you harm, you terrible, silly beast of a woman!

Lysander-But great Duke, she does not love him!-

Demetrius-Quiet Lysander!-

Hermia-What's that my love!?

Demetrius-Stand back, Lysander. I shall have Helena, or fight you for her!

Helena-No matter what you say you can't-

Demetrius-What if I said you were ugly? And smelly? And small and silly looking?!
