Viola & Orsino

Service based

Olivia:I prithee, and I'll pay thee bounteously,Conceal me what I am, and be my aidFor such disguise as haply shall becomeThe form of my intent. I'll serve this duke:Thou shall present me as an eunuch to him:It may be worth thy pains; for I can singAnd speak to him in many sorts of musicThat will allow me very worth his service.

Selfless

Olivia Here, wear this jewel for me, 'tis my picture;Refuse it not; it hath no tongue to vex you;And I beseech you come again to-morrow.What shall you ask of me that I'll deny,That honour saved may upon asking give?

Sebastian & Antonio

And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus,Yet 'tis not madness. Where's Antonio, then?I could not find him at the Elephant;Yet there he was; and there I found this credit,That he did range the town to seek me out.His counsel now might do me golden service;

FriendshipAntonio, O my dear Antonio!How have the hours rack'd and tortur'd meSince I have lost thee.

If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant.

Friendship continuedThe gentleness of all the gods go with thee!I have many enemies in Orsino's court,Else would I very shortly see thee there:But come what may, I do adore thee soThat danger shall seem sport, and I will go.

Olivia: O, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio

Malvolio: Tis but fortune, all is fortune. Maria once told me she did affect me, and I have heard herself come thus near, that should she fancy it should be one of my complexion. Besides, she uses me with a more exalted respect than anyone else that follows her. What should I think ont.

Maria: I will drop in his way some obscure epistles of love, wherein by the color of his beard, the shape of his leg, the manner of his gait, the expressure of his eyes, forehead, and complexion, he shall find himself most feelingingly personated.

The Malvolio ComplexMalvolio: To be count Malvolio!

Malvolio: There is example fort: the Lady of the Strachey married the yeoman of the wardrobe.
