What's really going on
The scene is built on a contradiction that everyone but Beatrice seems to find funny. Don Pedro praises her as a woman born in a happy hour — 'you were born in a merry hour' — and she answers with the same wit she uses as a shield: 'No, sure, my lord, my mother cried.' Marriage is the one subject she will not take seriously, and her refusal of the Prince is a masterpiece of politeness, since 'Your grace is too costly to wear every day' says no without ever sounding rude. Yet the men immediately start planning her life for her: Don Pedro wants 'to bring Benedick and Beatrice into a mountain of affection.' The audience is invited to laugh, but the joke is also the plot — Beatrice's freedom is exactly what the others intend to arrange away.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Beatrice refuse Don Pedro?
She keeps marriage at a distance throughout, and answers his offer with a joke about his being too costly to wear daily. It is a polite refusal, not an insult.
What does 'Heigh-ho for a husband' mean?
It is the sigh of an unmarried woman, half joke and half complaint. Beatrice uses it to mock her own situation while everyone around her pairs off.
What does Don Pedro plan for Beatrice?
He plans to match her with Benedick, hoping to turn their constant quarrelling into love, and asks the others to help him do it.
Do the others think Beatrice and Benedick suit each other?
Yes. Leonato calls her an excellent wife for Benedick and jokes that a week of marriage would have them talking each other mad.
Who agrees to help Don Pedro?
Several of the company say they are for him, and Hero offers to do any modest office to help her cousin find a good husband.
