Dem. I know; let’s go into court.
Phor. Into court? Here in preference (pointing to Chremes’s house), if it suits you in any way. (Moves toward the house.)
Dem. (to Chremes.) Follow him, and hold him back, till I call out the servants.
Chrem. (trying to seize Phormio.) But I can’t by myself; run and help me.
Phor. (to Demipho, who seizes hold of him.) There’s one action of damages against you.
Chrem. Sue him at law, then.
Phor. And another with you, Chremes.
Dem. Lay hold of him. (They both drag him.)
Phor. Is it thus you do? Why then I must exert my voice: Nausistrata, come out (calling aloud).
Chrem. (to Demipho.) Stop his mouth.
