ROMEO&JULIET SCRIPT PART II

NARATOR

Meanwhile, the night was still very young for a certain lady. Juliet Capulet was one the run from the reality, the young man she had just met. Despite of difficulty of direction, for once, Juliet felt the one thing she had been dying to feel, freedom.

Juliet enters the stage and knocks on the door

JULIET

(knocking on the door)

VIOLA

Wait a minute, who’s there?

JULIET

It’s me, Juliet!

VIOLA

Juliet Capulet? You’re a terrible liar, Juliet would never pay a visit at night

JULIET

Trust me, Viola! It’s me! Well, here’s some prove that I’m Juliet Capulet, your safe password is davis because you are crazy about him, you keep your knife on the back of stove, and you pretend to like scone while you actually hate it because it tastes like feet.

VIOLA

(open the door) What are you, mind reader? Come on in! What unfortunate event takes you to this place?

JULIET

I’m visiting and it’s not unfortunate event

VIOLA

Oh please, you’re in deep trouble, aren’t you?

JULIET

No I’m not, (looking down) Oh yes, I am in a riot!

VIOLA

Hold on a second, let me call my sister, (shouting) VIOLET!

VIOLET

How many times have I warned not to bother me while I’m working?

VIOLA

This is a matter that can’t be presumed wait-list. We have to do an effective act right away

VIOLET

Viola! (looking at Juliet) Ah Juliet! What a delight surprise. Happy seventeen birthday dear

JULIET

Lovely. Thank you for me having me by the way

VIOLA

Don’t bother my neurotic sister, you’re welcome,anytime

JULIET

Uh thanks

VIOLET

The last time I’ve heard of you, you are engaged to that snotty boy, Paris. Why isn’t here with you?

VIOLA

Hush! Violet!

JULIET

Oh, that’s fine. Actually, he’s the problem

VIOLA

I knew it that guy was a riot

VIOLET

Oh Juliet, you know you can always tell us everything right

JULIET

On one condition

VIOLA

That is?

JULIET

Both of you are going to help find a guy, the love of my life to be précised

VIOLA

Care to give us a name?

VIOLET

You know we know a lot of guys, by a lot, I mean a lot

JULIET

Misapply, I don’t even know his name. However, he promised that he’ll see me very soon (starting to tell the story)

VIOLA

Then what are you doing here? He might be looking for you, now. In your death trap

VIOLET

Viola!

JULIET

You’re absolutely right. How can I go home though? My parents would probably mad as a horse because of my indelicate act in the party

VIOLA

It’s easy, climb up the stair next to your room. I always do that everytime I borrow your clothes without your permission

JULIET

Normally, I’d have yelled at you but at this point, I owe you this one

VIOLA

I know we’ll come to this

Juliet leaves the stage, followed by Viola and Violet

NARATOR
While Juliet was getting ready to climb up the stairs, Romeo was preparing for his first attempt at meeting the girl of his dream. Little did he know, he was about to get lucky

ROMEO

(throwing rocks)

JULIET

Pst! Would you stop that? You’ll wake the whole neighborhood and I’m dead!

ROMEO

Huhh? (still throwing rocks)

JULIET

I said, stop it!

ROMEO

Whoa! What are you doing, climbing up the stairs in a ball gown? You must be out of your mind

JULIET

Use your bloody senses

ROMEO

I don’t know, you are a mad woman?

JULIET

This better be worth it (mumbling to herself)

ROMEO

I have a sense that my assumption is correct

JULIET

I’m not crazy! I’m just waiting for this guy to swept me away from the balcony

ROMEO

Just a reminder, this is not Rapunzel.

JULIET

(annoyed) Shut it

ROMEO

Wait a minute, I recognize that voice. It’s the voice of my love, Juliet

JULIET

What are you talking about? Yes, of course, I’m Juliet (finally arrived on the balcony)

ROMEO

What a bloody hell! It’s you

JULIET

Is that you random stranger?

ROMEO

It’s Romeo by the way, Romeo Montague

JULIET

(stunned) Montague? Are you sure about your last name?

ROMEO

As far I’m concerned, yes. Ah, shall we speak in the language of love?

JULIET

What man art thou that, thus

bescreened in night,

So stumblest on my counsel?

ROMEO

By a name I know not how to tell

thee who I am:

My name, dear saint, is hateful to

JULIET

Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?

ROMEO

Neither, fair maid, if either thee

dislike.

JULIET

How cam'st thou hither, tell me,

and whyfore?

The garden walls are high and hard

to climb,

And the place death, considering

who thou art.

ROMEO

With love's light wings did I o'er

perch these walls.

For stony limits cannot hold love

out,

And what love can do, that dares

love attempt.

Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop

to me.

JULIET

(a real fear)

If they do see thee, they will

murder thee.

ROMEO

Good night, farewell, my love. May the moon sleep with thee’s beauty

JULIET

Three words, dear Romeo, and good

night indeed.

If that thy bent of love be

honourable.

Thy purpose marriage, send me word

tomorrow,

By one that I'll procure to come to

thee,

Where and what time thou wilt

perform the rite,

And all my fortunes at thy foot

I'll lay

And follow thee my lord throughout

the world.

Romeo leaves the stage as Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet enter the stage

LADY CAPULET

Juliet, you’re home!

JULIET

Forgive me father, mother for my demeaning behavior

LORD CAPULET

Apology accepted

LADY CAPULET

I have good news for you, my dear! Paris has agreed to move the wedding earlier! You’ll be married by the end of the week

JULIET

Whoa! You are kidding me, right?

LORD CAPULET

I know deep down inside, you want to do the right thing. So before, you change your mind, your mother and I decide that we’ll abide you from doing that

JULIET

I’m so sorry mother, this is unacceptable. I can’t do this

LORD CAPULET

We have been patient, we have been more that patient with you. But this is..

LADY CAPULET

Nothing is unacceptable. Your behavior right now is unacceptable. You will get married to Paris and as far I’m concerned, this is the end of the conversation

JULIET

That’s not fair! You can’t do this to me! I’m a person, someone who wants to experience love and freedom too! And if I can have that, what life will give to me?

Juliet exits the stage

NARATOR

That night, Juliet cried herself to sleep. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t find an escape. Finally, she came to a conclusion; her love could only be fulfilled with eternity. The morning she woke up, she called Viola and invited her to come over with something in her mind

Juliet and Viola enter the stage

JULIET

I’m just so glad that you can make it

VIOLA

Ah, Juliet, what kind of friends I am, you think?

JULIET

Listen, I really appreciate the help

VIOLA

Are you sure you want to use cyanide for your project? You know it’s highly poisonous

JULIET

Mrs. Schuester said the only way I could get an A is to create something challenging. What screams challenging more than a cyanide?

VIOLA

It’s just..

JULIET

Oh don’t you worry about me. I’ll be fine!

VIOLA

Make sure you take care of yourself. You look flushed

JULIET

I’m just nervous for the wedding, that’s all

Nurse enters the room

NURSE

Juliet, your mother is waiting for you. The tailor has come. He’s doing your wedding gown fitting

VIOLA

I guess I should leave

JULIET

So should I, I don’t want to keep the tailor waiting

Viola and Juliet exit the stage

NARATOR

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a good looking young man is doing a big shopping, not for him, but for the special girl in his life.

ROMEO

Excuse me, I am looking for a diamond ring

SALES

Tiffany cut? Specific certain of cut?

ROMEO

Can you show me which one is the most special one in the store?

SALES

She must a very special girl huh?

ROMEO

Of course, she’s my salvation, the answer to all my questions about the gentleness of love

SALES

Ah, I see. What about this? This symbolizes the meaning of eternal love

ROMEO

Then what are you waiting for? Pack it up!

NARATOR

Romeo was ecstatic to find out that he had found the perfect ring to propose to the girl of his dream. Little did he know, his fairytale fantasy was about to take an extreme twist.

LADY CAPULET

(scream) Juliet! This better be not one of your vicarious jokes. Your father and I have been waiting for like one hour

JULIET

(speaks to herself) What could live bring me if everyday would be all the same like this? The only salvation from this pain is pretending to be dead and live an immortal life with someone that I dearly love

NURSE

Ms. Juliet, your mother is waiting

JULIET

Tell her I’ll meet her at the boutique. I won’t be long

NURSE

I understand

JULIET

(drinking the potion) I’m so sorry mother. However this is my life and I can’t have your ruining with spending the rest of my life with someone I barely know and most definitely loath

Juliet falls down and unconscious

NARATOR

Romeo was just a simple young man. He wanted live a peaceful life with his beloved ones. Sadly, his life at this point was far from simplicity.

ROMEO

Father! I’ll be visiting a friend house

LORD MONTAGUE

What’s going on son? You know my election is tomorrow and I prefer to have my beloved ones in the nearest

LADY MONTAGUE

Your father is absolutely right

ROMEO

I’ll be back in a mere moment. However, don’t wait up

LORD MONTAGUE

Where do you think you are going young man!

NARATOR

Romeo rushed into Juliet’s house. He wasn’t afraid about the guard, the consequences that he had to take if he got busted, all he care at that point was Juliet saying yes to the one million dollar question he was about to ask.

Romeo enters the stage, via window

ROMEO

Juliet? Juliet, are thee here?

ROMEO

(find out unconscious Juliet) Mary, mother of God! Juliet? Wake up, (checking for pulse) This can’t be happening

ROMEO

(check the potion next to Juliet) Arsenic? What are you thinking Juliet?

ROMEO

If I couldn’t have her love, then life would just meaningless (drink the potion)

NARATOR

Fifteen minutes later

JULIET

Am I still alive? Or is it what the pilgrims called out as heaven?

JULIET

(looking next to her) Romeo? Romeo? Don’t play jokes on me

JULIET

Forgive me God, for ending my life and his in this profane way, however love will give me the strength to do this

JULIET

(Juliet takes a knife and stab it in her heart)

NARATOR

There, the story of tragic love life of Juliet and Romeo’s ended. However, the true beginning of the story was the peace made by the family. Both Capulet and Montague pulled out from the election and realized that there were far more important things in life like the warmth and joy of family. Losing their beloved daughter/son was the rock bottom of opening their eyes and understanding that rivalry could only ended up in the worst possible way. Juliet and Romeo didn’t have an immortal life but they changed both of their families’ lifes eternally.

ROMEO&JULIET SCRIPT part 1

Lights on

NARATOR

Every family had skeletons in their closet. As for the royal British blue blood, Capulet and the Montagues at this extremely nerve-racking day, every details of their ‘skeletons’ would be taken out in a place we called as public court. Ever since the fourth generation of Capulet and Montague started their politic congressman rivalry, these two families have been battling it all out to publicly humiliate each other. In this very special day, there could only be one winner, once and for all.

Set in public court with judge sitting on the center of the stage while Benvolio and Tybalt are sitting on separate sides with their lawyer present. The situation on the court is full of tension and disgust.

TYBALT’s LAWYER
Objection Your Honor! My client does not plead guilty for breaking and entering the Montague’s property. His alibi that night is rock-solid as I had explained before

BENVOLIO

That’s bullshit and you know it! He asked someone to cover up for him

TYBALT

Oh why would I bother to trespass your worthless property?

BENVOLIO
Does it might occur to you that with Election Day closer, your family is desperate for some inside scoop!

TYBALT
My family doesn’t care about you and the pathetic clans of yours. All of you are nothing more than bunch of beggars and sinners to me

BENVOLIO

(jaws clenching, looking furious) I swear I’d crush you into pieces if you said that one more time

TYBALT
Try me!

BENVOLIO’s LAWYER

I suggest, you drop the act, Monsieur Benvolio

BENVOLIO
So I can just sit around and listen to him insults my family? A true gentleman would defend his family honor, no matter what’s coming for him

TYBALT
Huh, true gentleman? I’d have to doubt that one given the history of your family

TYBALT’s LAWYER

Monsieur Tybalt (warning tone)

BENVOLIO
You, son of a..

JUDGE

Silent! Both of you! I expect better than both you. Those classless acts of yours disgust me! Do that one more time and I’ll have both of you thrown out from my court room. This court is on hold for indecisive period. (Hammer sounds)

Everyone disperses and leaves the stage while Tybalt stays on the left side and Benvolio on the right side. The lightning centers around Tybalt as Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet enter the stage and approach Tybalt.

LORD CAPULET

How did the trial go, son?

TYBALT
The trial is on hold, father. (tilting his head down) Forgive me father, I should have done better. Those Montagues are like termites that need to be abolished completely.

MONSIEUR CAPULET

Don’t take it too hard on yourself. (looking at Mademoiselle Capulet) Besides, your mother has came up with a staggeringly brilliant plan

LADY CAPULET
Oh dear, flattery will get you to a ballroom tomorrow. I have to agree with your dad, you shouldn’t blame yourself for it. We are a family, we hold on to each other and we take blames in union.

TYBALT
Thank you father, mother, so tell me, what’s your plan mother?

LADY CAPULET

A cup of tea and a scone are required in that order. Shall we? (smile)

LORD CAPULET

Yes dear

NARATOR

There is nothing more deceptive than a smile. And no one knows better than the people who hide behind them. What scheme would the Capulet be pulling right now?

Tybalt, Lord Capulet, and Lady Capulet exit the stage. The lightening now centers on the Benvolio, Lord Montagues, and Lady Montagues.

NARATOR

While one family is busy collecting pieces to create a scheme, the other is consummating the guardian of their pride.

LORD MONTAGUE

Son, I notice you lost it at the trial. Remember, we keep our head and pride high. We, the Montague never lost it in front of the judges and those prying media eyes.

LADY MONTAGUE
You know your father is right, Benvolio. If this goes out to press, we can kiss election goodbye, dear

BENVOLIO
I thought I was doing the right thing. I protected our pride, our family’s legacy

LORD MONTAGUE

Sometimes you just have to see the timing

BENVOLIO

(Sarcastic) Oh now, you are all concerned about what people think about us? Dad, you never care about this stuff! Ever since, Grandpa asked you to carry on his politic career, you’ve been acting like someone else

LADY MONTAGUE

Benvolio(stern voice)

LORD MONTAGUE
Honey, that’s okay. Young man, there are some times you just don’t have any choice but to change for the sakes of your family. I advice you can change some attitude of yours, you know your little brother, Romeo is looking up to you.

BENVOLIO
You were the one who said to me, quotes (air quoting) A man is well-recognized based on choices he took on his life, even at his worst

LORD MONTAGUE

That was before, things have obviously changed

BENVOLIO

You know what dad, you want respect and fondness over you? Guess what, you just lost mine (leaves)

LADY MONTAGUE

Honey, I’m sure he didn’t mean that one

LORD MONTAGUE

You know what; I don’t want to talk about it, not now at least

LADY MONTAGUE

As you wish, my dear

NARATOR

Seventeen year old Juliet Capulet had never expected her life to change in a flash. Everything about her life was moving in constant. Between her straight A grades, perfect violin skills, and passion for literature, she is a true definition of a lady. Spending her time between Jane Austen and Emily Bronte’s writing, Juliet Capulet is a believer in love and fairytale as if she’d land eyes and instantly fall in love unconditionally. However, on her seventeen birthday, her mother delivered a shocking proposal

Juliet is sitting on the couch, reading a novel. Lady Capulet, Lord Capulet, and Tybalt enter the room. Juliet gets up and greets her parents and brother.

JULIET
Ahh, you guys are home! What took you guys so long? How did the trial go?

LORD CAPULET

We’ll take about that later, dear. In the matter of time, your mother would like to say a word to you

JULIET

Oh really? That sounds exquisitely important. (Turns to her mother) Is there something bothering you mother?

LORD CAPULET

(whispers on to Lady Capulet’s ear) Me and Tybalt will be upstair if you need us (leaving with Tybalt)

LADY CAPULET

Come, sit my dear! I have something in fact very urgent to discuss with you

JULIET

What’s going on mother?

LADY CAPULET

I’m going to tell you that this month; I’ll keep myself busy with organizing a wedding. I want you to take good care of yourself

JULIET

A wedding? You and father will do a wedding celebration? Wow! That’s just very charming, I might say.

LADY CAPULET

Oh no, it’s not for your father and I

JULIET

What? (silence for a second) What? Tybalt is getting married, to whom, I shall know?

LADY CAPULET

Your brother is not getting married anytime soon, I suppose. You are the one who indeed will be getting married

JULIET
Hold on a second! Me? Married? Oh for the love of God mother, I’m way too young for this rubbish you are pulling!

LADY CAPULET

Watch your language young lady

JULIET

I can speak and curse the way I want, you are not seriously asking me to marry some random guy who I may have never met before!

LADY CAPULET

You know, Paris? You’ve met him once, I remember, in the winter ball. He’s a perfect gentleman; he’s well-mannered, educated, and well, very aspiring to the society.

JULIET

Oh please mother! The guy is so full of himself that he might tattoo his name on his own forehead.

LADY CAPULET

No such word!

JULIET

I’m so sorry mother, but.. I can’t do this, I can’t get married to someone I barely have any affection to.

LADY CAPULET

Being married to Paris will give us a golden ticket to win this year election. This is the only way that I can fix the situation ever since your brother is convicted with trespassing Montague’s property. Paris has people of England’s affection and so will you.

JULIET

I get it now, you are trading your daughter for some position in government? God,you are truly a piece of work mother!

LADY CAPULET

ENOUGH! You will get married to Paris in two weeks. He’s gonna propose to you tonight at your 17^th birthday party and you will behave and say yes. Is that clear?

JULIET

(Sobs) Perfectly

LADY CAPULET

Now I think it’s the time for us to get ready. You don’t want to look in despair at Paris’ eyes, right?

Lady Capulet and Juliet exit the stage

NARATOR

Juliet has just found her mate. However, unluckily for her, that prince charming turns out to be a self-centered and narcistic figure named Paris. While Juliet cries away her unfortunate life, Romeo and his older brother, Benvolio are near her, hypothetically as the two Montague brothers are paying the Capulet’s residence a visit for some checking.

Romeo and Benvolio sneak behind the bushes as they approach the Capulet’s huge mansion.

ROMEO
Please remind me, why are we doing this on the very first place?

BENVOLIO

Shussh, the Capulet seemed to be pretty distracted at the trial before. We might just have to find out what’s going on

ROMEO
Right behind you, Sherlock!

BENVOLIO

I mean, they left early and they seemed to be in a rush. They must have had an event to throw.

ROMEO
You do realize that we can never score an invite to the party right?

BENVOLIO
Oh you silly! We are going to the party but not as Romeo and Benvolio Montague

ROMEO

I still don’t get it

BENVOLIO

Whatever, follow me!

Benvolio and Romeo approach one of the servants who are carrying in plates and other kitchen utensils.

SERVANT

Where have you been? Two of you are terribly Lady Capulet has been asking for the two of you for at least fifteen minutes! Carry on, carry those plates inside!

ROMEO & BENVOLIO

(glancing at each other)

SERVANT

What are you waiting for? Move it!

BENVOLIO

Ah sure

ROMEO

Our mistake (tilts his head down)

ROMEO

May I ask, what event the Capulet will be having tonight?

SERVANT

You two are not just slackers but also fools! Tonight is the grand birthday ball of Juliet Capulet, the Capulet’s only daughter?

ROMEO & BENVOLIO

Ah, we get it!

SERVANT

Then the two of you can start moving because those plates aren’t going to move by themselves!

Servant leaves the stage

ROMEO

Great, do I really look like I’m a servant?

BENVOLIO

This is great!

ROMEO

What great? Both of us are considered look-likes for servants!

BENVOLIO
No, we can be servants for the party!

ROMEO

What? NO! I don’t serve dishes and clean up tables! There’s no way I’m going to do that!

BENVOLIO

Oh Romeo, didn’t you hear? There will be party, beautiful ladies in their evening gowns! It’s an ideal occasion for you to pick that perfect girl of yours!

ROMEO

Uhhhh.. (silence for a second) Okay, I’m in! However, you have to understand, that I’m not doing this for the girls! I’m doing it for the sakes of our family.

BENVOLIO
Point well taken, eventhough I doubt it that you won’t land any girls tonight

NARATOR

One might say, if you can’t beat them, then join them! What will happen when the two of the enemies meet to tango?

Lights off

Lights on

NARATOR

It was joyous occasion for the Capulet as the beloved daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet turned seventeen. Everybody was invited to the party except for the Montague. Little did they know that among them we had some of them sneaking around in less than favorable choice of clothes. As for Juliet Capulet, her resentment of this party had begun even before the party started. I guess, Paris might have to deal with a grumpy bride?

Juliet and Lady Capulet sit in front of the mirror as she put on make up. Juliet looks at the mirror and fails to amuse in what she sees.

LADY CAPULET

Don’t worry honey! You look great! I can assure you that Paris will love you in that chiffon dress!

JULIET

What Paris might think of me is none of my concern mother

LADY CAPULET

No such word!

JULIET

Oh what are you going to do? Drag me across the room and make me care about that? You can’t stab me directly in the heart and still I wouldn’t feel a thing for him

LADY CAPULET

Enough with the attitude, young lady! You will put on your best ecstatic expression when Paris proposes. There are no excuses for that one

JULIET

But I..

Paris enters the stage

PARIS

Mademoiselle Capulet, Juliet, good evening!

LADY CAPULET

Ah, the gentleman has arrived! (whispers on to Juliet’s ear) You better not embarrass me in front of Paris. (turning back to Paris) I’ll give both of you some time to get to know each other

Lady Capulet leaves

PARIS

Ahh, we finally meet! It’s very lovely of your mother to give us some time to know each other

JULIET

Pleasure to meet you (forced smile)

PARIS

Pleasure is mine. You know what have I told you before, that I’m graduating from Oxford later this year. Of course, I’m sure that I’ll graduate cum laude, top of my class. My father always..

NARATOR

Fifteen minutes later

JULIET

Wait a minute, don’t you want to know a slight about me? I mean, technically you’ve been chattering non-stop about you for the past fifteen minutes. I’m sure there’s something you desire to know about me.

PARIS
Why would I?

JULIET

Err..Because you’re getting married to me and I think, it makes possible sense that we know each other both sides not just one.

PARIS
I don’t see a need, you see Juliet, in every aspects of life, I always expect to be you know in the center of the attention. You might as well want to acknowledge the fact that you don’t have to overshare your personal life

JULIET

Of course, now will you excuse me for a moment?

PARIS

Ah sure, I’ll be waiting for you at the bar

Paris exits the stage while Juliet goes to the corner of the stage and stares at the moon

JULIET

Oh Dear Lord! What have I done to deserve this excruciating misery? I shall not rest till I find my only love, my ray of sunshine, my bright star, my dream and passion. If death is the answer to this pain, I shall let death takes in me.

ROMEO

Don’t do it. Suicide is not an answer to your pain, it even deepens the sorrow you have

JULIET

(turns around in shocked) Stay back, you have no rights telling me how to live my life! I’m just so sick of everyone telling me how to live my life. Don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump in a mere moment!

ROMEO

No you won’t

JULIET

What do you mean no I won't? Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do. You don't know me.

ROMEO

You would have done it already. Now come on, take my hand.

JULIET

You're distracting me. Go away.

ROMEO

Canst! I will have to face death with you if you jump, I’m involved!

JULIET

Don’t be absurd! You’ll die for nothing

ROMEO

Come on, you don’t want to do this. You still have that ball. That birthday girl, Juliet, she’ll be darn upset if you make a scene in her party

JULIET

(smile)

ROMEO

There you are all safe

JULIET

Care to fill me in on how to thank you?

ROMEO

Normally I would decline the offer

JULIET

I insist, you can’t walk away assuming I owe you one

ROMEO

A dance would be a perfect way to close the evening

JULIET

A dance that is

Romeo and Juliet walk into the center of stage as the music begins to play

JULIET

I can’t believe you trick me into dancing with you!

ROMEO

Your face tells me that you don’t even have any regrets about this

JULIET

Don’t get your heads too big, but you’re a decent dancer, I think

ROMEO

There are many things that you haven’t discovered about me

JULIET

Well yeah, to me, you are a nameless freaky stranger who distracts me from ending my life

ROMEO

Here’s one, I have a thing for classic. What about you, suicide girl?

JULIET

Oh really? You don’t seem like me. In order to make me confide myself in you, you have to demonstrate the ‘thing’ of yours

ROMEO

My only love, under the light of the moon.

The way she leans her hand on her check, it’s the biggest withdrawal to me

Prodigious of love it is to me

Oh, if I could write the beauty of her

eyes! I was born to look in them and

know myself.

JULIET

"…Have not saints lips, and holy

palmers too?"

ROMEO

"Ay pilgrim, lips that they must use

in prayer."

JULIET

"Oh then, dear saint, let lips do what

hands to: They pray: grant thou, lest

                 faith turn to despair."

JULIET

Point is well taken

LADY CAPULET’s VOICE

Juliet! Juliet, darling!

JULIET

Pardon me, I gotta go

ROMEO

Wait, don’t I indulge the pleasure of knowing your name?

JULIET

(whisper) We shall meet again, mi amor

NARATOR

At that point of her life, Juliet felt it one more time. A feeling that she hadn’t been able to feel in the last couple of weeks, a hope for her future.

Juliet exits the stage and enters again with Paris by her side

ANNOUNER

Ms. Paige Adams, daughter of Lord and Lady Adams the second accompany by Mr. James Dewtons

PARIS

Before that, I would like to say a word. As you all know that today my lovely lady here, Juliet turns seventeen. It has been an incredibly unforgettable night for her. In order to complete the night for her, I’d like to..

(down on one knee)

My eternal sunlight Juliet, words fail to begin how amusing you are to me. You are an exquisite company to have and you know how much I love someone to be right beside me during that day where I have the entire spotlight on me. That’s my love, I’d like to ask you to share yours to with me. Juliet Capulet, would you marry me?

JULIET

I..I..

LADY CAPULET

Oh Juliet! I’m sorry she’s just a bit confused, too much wine I guess. (whispering to Lord Capulet) Honey, do something!

LORD CAPULET
It would be lovely to welcome you into our family

PARIS
Thank you so much father, however I intend to hear the words from Juliet herself

JULIET

I..I..I’m so sorry, mother, father!

(ran away)

NARATOR
It was a scandalous night indeed. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about Juliet’s Cinderella escape. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, someone’s too stunned to learn the news he just received.

ROMEO

Benvolio!

BENVOLIO

(talking to few ladies) Excuse me ladies! Hey, little brother, what’s bothering you?

ROMEO

You see the most exquisite looking girl over there?

BENVOLIO
Which one? There are awfully a lot of fine-looking ladies at this party

ROMEO

That one! The one in the chiffon dress!

BENVOLIO

Don’t tell me..

ROMEO

She’s my sunshine, my red roses, my muse to write to the world how I feel about love

BENVOLIO

You missed out one thing

ROMEO

Oh yeah, I do want to spend the rest of my life with her

BENVOLIO
We are leaving, NOW! (excusing himself from the young lady)

ROMEO

Hey! You haven’t even let me introduce myself to her! What kind of kinsmen would do that to his little one!

BENVOLIO
What are you seven? That girl is a Capulet. In fact, she’s Juliet Capulet

ROMEO

Oh Alack! This is not a very good time to play jokes with me

BENVOLIO

I wish I were brother!

ROMEO

(silence)

BENVOLIO

Oh brother! What are we going to do? Let’s go home, the night is too old for us!

Benvolio and Romeo leaves the stage
