Scene 3

ROMEO: Did my heart love till now? Who is that enchanting maiden?

MERCUTIO: You mean Rosaline? Is she here?

ROMEO: Who? No, that angel who has graced this mortal gathering.

MERCUTIO: What? Speak normally!

...

TYBALT: I recognise that face! A cursed Montague in our house. To strike him dead I hold it not a sin. Aghh, alas I carry no sword and have no dagger.

(Tybalt rushes over to the serving tables. Romeo is now gazing lovingly a metre away from Julie, who does not notice him.)

TYBALT: Servant, give me a knife!

SERVANT 1: I'm sorry, sir. We have no knives.

TYBALT: Damn you! Give me a fork then. It will have to do.

SERVANT 1: I'm sorry, sir. We have no forks.

TYBALT: A plague in your pants! What do you have?

SERVANT 1: Spoons.

TYBALT: Give me your biggest, meanest, sharpest spoon for I mean kill a sworn enemy.

SERVANT 1: Not if you don't say 'please', sir.

(Tybalt grabs the spoon from Servant 1 and brandishes it like a knife. Lord Capulet approaches in alarm.)

LORD CAPULET: Tybalt lay down your, er, spoon. What is the meaning of this?

TYBALT: (Pointing at Romeo.) A Monatague has squirmed his way into our house and I will make him pay in blood for the insult!

LORD CAPULET: I hate their guts too, but the Prince has banned all fighting between our houses on pain of death. Lay down your weapon, spoon! If you cannot accept peace why don't you go to your room and cry like a spanked child, eh?

TYBALT: Peace? I hate the word. As I hate hell, all Montagues and Brussels sprouts!

...

ROMEO: Forgive my boldness, but my hands and lips have never seen such beauty. A beauty that dances with an angel's grace and radiance.

(Julie starts giggling.)

ROMEO: If I have offended thee. I will be mortified. Pray forgive a love-struck fool.

(Julie giggles louder.)

JULIE: I don't know what you're saying, but I really fancy you! You can kiss my hand again if you want too. (Julie giggles again.)

ROMEO: Oh, heaven smiles on me this evening. By the morning will it all be a nebulous dream, or are you of earthly flesh and blood?

JULIE: You talk funny, but you are really fit. Do you work out? Are you a footballer? I'd love to see you again. You're the man of my dreams.

ROMEO: I wish tonight would never end, so I can gaze star-struck in admiration at thee.

(Enter NANNY pushing the two apart.)

NANNY: Julie, your mum says it's your bedtime now.

JULIE: Oh, God! How old does she think I am! Just as I'm having fun. I'm not a baby any more.

(Crosses her arms and sulks.)

NANNY: Your mum said if you don't go now she'll make you do some housework: tidy your own room!

JULIE: NO! That's terrible. (Addressing Romeo.) Sorry gorgeous, I've got to go! Parents are such a bore. Anyway, I'd love to see you again sometime. (Julie waves at Romeo, giggles and exits running.)

ROMEO: What a perfect woman!

...

Scene 4

JULIE: Oh, Romeo, Romeo. I can't sleep because all I can do is think about you. Where are you now? You're the enemy of my family, a dastardly Montague, but how can I hate you? I fancy you so much. Who cares that your name starts with a 'm' sound!

(Enter ROMEO hiding beside the well.)

ROMEO: (Addressing audience.) This is beyond my wildest hopes: she loves me too!

JULIE: I would leave my family and change my name if I could be with you, Romeo. It's incredible, I just can't stop thinking about you. If only I could see you again.

(Romeo stands up and waves.)

ROMEO: I am here, my sweet love!

JULIE: Eek! Romeo, why are you hiding in the dark looking into ladies' windows?

ROMEO: Does it matter, my dawn to a perfect future of happiness?

JULIE: Er, yes.

ROMEO: It's true, I have some strange habits. However, for you I will stop climbing over walls at night and hiding in orchards.

...

Scene 5

FRIAR LORENZO: O, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

ROMEO: Ah, good friend and Friar, I am here. My heart beats with the power of an ocean's tide. Is all ready for when my love arrives?

FRIAR LORENZO: Romeo, I have known you since you were a boy and I still don't understand most of what you're saying. However, I'm all ready to perform the sacred rites when Julie arrives. Um, she's a bit late isn't she?

...

Scene 7

JULIE: We will meet again?

ROMEO: Without doubt, how can anyone separate the ocean from the waves?

JULIE: Whatever. I'll be thinking about you till you come for me. I'll be ever so lonely.

...

Scene 11

NANNY: She's dead! Julie. I nurtured her like one of my own and now death lies on her like an untimely frost.

LADY CAPULET: Nonsense. She's just faking it: it's probably wedding day nerves.

...

ARIS: (Pushing Lady Capulet to one side and kneeling in front of Julie.) Oh, Julie. My silly little kitten there is nothing to be afraid of. Here take my hand. (Paris holds out his hand and Julie does not respond. Finally, Paris touches Julie's hand, then feels for a pulse in her wrist.) She's dead. It just can't be. Oh, the cruel gods laugh at us mortal humans!

LADY CAPULET: She's not dead. She's just stiff.

PARIS: (Pats Julie on the shoulder and she falls over.) She's dead I tell you. I'm desperate, but I'm not marrying a dead person!

LADY CAPULET: I'm her mother: I would know if she's dead or not.

...

Scene 13

ROMEO: Beauty's ensign yet is crimson in thy lips. My Love, my life, so it ends here. I can't go on without you. The happy times were short: our summer of love lasted but days and now the eternal winter is here.
