After all the disguises are sorted out, the play ends in a banquet. Petruchio and Katharine are there and Hortensio (who gave up on Bianca earlier) and his new wife. During the dinner, the ladies retire to another room. Petruchio proposes a wager, where the husband who calls his wife and gets the best answer wins. Bianca refuses much to Lucentio's shock. Hortensio sends word, but his wife gives an even worse answer. Petruchio sends and Katharine comes right away. She then brings in Bianca and Hortensio's wife and makes a speech on marriage. She says, "Such duty as the subject owes the prince even such a woman oweth to her husband." Petruchio and Katharine leave the feast triumphant.
