Nurse: May not one speak? Juliet: Speak not, reply not, do not answer me Tybalt: It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate Juliet: A whining mammet, it makes me mad (stalks off angrily) Tybalt: (to audience) Patience perforce with wilful choler meeting.

Commend me to thy lady and mistress. I protest unto thee,-- Nurse: Good heart, and i faith I will tell her as much: Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman Romeo: What wilt thou tell her, nurse? thou dost not mark me. Nurse: I will tell her, sir, that you do protest: which as I take it, is a gentlemanlike offer Nurse: (turns and winks at audience, scene pauses) O, he's a lovely gentleman! (Turns back to Romeo) See where she comes from shrift with merry look. Romeo: He that is strucken blind cannot forget The precious treasure of his eyesight lost. (nurse rettuns to juliet who has been watching anxiously) Juliet: come, I pray thee, speak; good, good nurse, speak Nurse:Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome one Juliet: tell me, what says my love? Nurse: Blind is his love and best befits the dark. But, he does love thee Juliet: you think so? Nurse: Who ever would have thought it? Romeo! (both laugh (Nurse and Juliet continue talking as Tybalt watches, snarls, walks to center stage Tybalt: I hate the word! (mutters under breath Romeo ) You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion. Romeo: (hears Tybalt, walks over): I pray you, pardon me Tybalt: Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford No better term than this,--thou art a villain. (Juliet walks over, notices what is going on)

4 Juiet: What say you? Tybalt: Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, Shalt him with hence. Romeo: This shall determine that. Tybalt: Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw. Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy! (fight ensues. fake slapping and yelling. Juliet gets stuck in between and gets hurt ) Juliet: I am hurt. I was hurt under your arm. Ashley: all men depart! Romeo: In my behalf; my reputation stain'd with Tybalt's slander,--tybalt, that an hour O, sweet Juliet. Juliet: Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss (starts weeping, both men rush over) Ashely: Leave at once! Tybalt: (angrily) To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Romeo, Hence from Newton thou art banishéd. AH! Juliet: NO! Romeo: Oh, heaven is here where Juliet is! Juliet: O think st thou we shall ever meet again? Romeo: I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our times to come. (Romeo looks longingly at Juliet. Tybalt stalks off. t Ashley pulls Romeo off) Juliet: and Romeo--banishéd;' That 'banishéd,' that one word 'banishéd,' And needly will be rank'd with other griefs. (falls to the floor) HOW WILL I SURVIVE! (very dramaticly) Nurse: Romeo is banished, and all the world to nothing that he dares ne er come back to challenge you, or if he do, he needs must be by stealth.

5 Juliet: Speak st thou from thy heart? Nurse: And from my soul too, else beshrew them both Juliet: Amen Nurse: What's this? what's this? Juliet: Well, thou hast comforted mr marvelous much.
