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.
