Read the full text of Henry VI Part 3 Act 5 Scene 1 with a side-by-side translation HERE.
- Warwick asks some messengers where Montague, George, and Oxford (or, more important, their troops) are. He gets the deets for each one. When he hears a drum, he thinks it's George, but it's actually Richard and Edward.
- Edward asks Warwick who he calls king. Warwick says he'd rather Edward just be Duke of York. Henry is the king, and Warwick says he's the king's loyal subject.
- Edward tells Warwick that Henry is actually in prison.
- Warwick says he's not worried, because he's got backup.
- Somerset and Montague enter with their men. Right on time.
- George enters, and Warwick welcomes him.
- Surprising everyone, George throws down his red rose and says he can't hate his own father's house. He apologizes to Richard and Edward for being fickle. They forgive him.
- Both sides leave and plan to fight at Barnet.
