Romeo Quote Bank: Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeting: villain am I none; Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not. (Act 3, scene 1 lines 63-66) I do protest, I never injured thee, But love thee better than thou canst devise, Till thou shalt know the reason of my love: And so, good Capulet,--which name I tender As dearly as my own,--be satisfied.

Mercutio Quote Bank: Thou art like one of those fellows that when he enters the confines of a tavern claps me his sword upon the table and says 'God send me no need of thee!' and by the operation of the second cup draws it on the drawer, when indeed there is no need.

Thou! why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast: thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes: what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel? Thy head is as fun of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling: thou hast quarreled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun: didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter? with another, for tying his new shoes with old riband? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling!

(Act 3, scene 1 lines 74-76) Good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine lives; that I mean to make bold withal, and as you shall use me hereafter, drybeat the rest of the eight. Will you pluck your sword out of his pitcher by the ears? make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out. (Act 3, scene 1 lines 78-83) Come, sir, your passado.

(Act 3, scene 1 lines 97-98) No, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.

(Act 3, scene 1 lines 150-153) Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay; Romeo that spoke him fair, bade him bethink How nice the quarrel was, and urged withal Your high displeasure: all this uttered With gentle breath, calm look, knees humbly bow'd, Could not take truce with the unruly spleen Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts
With piercing steel at bold Mercutio's breast, Who all as hot, turns deadly point to point, And, with a martial scorn, with one hand beats Cold death aside, and with the other sends It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity, Retorts it: Romeo he cries aloud, 'Hold, friends! friends, part!' and, swifter than his tongue, His agile arm beats down their fatal points, And 'twixt them rushes; underneath whose arm An envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life Of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt fled; But by and by comes back to Romeo, Who had but newly entertain'd revenge, And to 't they go like lightning, for, ere I Could draw to part them, was stout Tybalt slain. And, as he fell, did Romeo turn and fly. This is the truth, or let Benvolio die. (Act 3, scene 1 lines 160-184)

Mercutio Model O, Romeo, Romeo! Where are you, Romeo? I thought we were friends, but ever since you met Juliet, your family s foe, You call her your beloved but I would call it something else hunger For a new lover to satisfy your carnality and to seek a sense of wonder You believe the Fates will deliver, but if love be rough with you, be rough with love. It is so hot out on the square today, the blazing sun above Beading sweat on my neck and racing my blood pressure, But like mercury, my temperature lowers and rises with any slight comment or displeasure. Benvolio is trying in vain to get me out of sight as a fight between Montagues and Capulets could insight, But by my heel, I care not as I m itching to draw my fiddlestick and with all my might Smite that smug smile on Tybalt s face as he dares to come at me and my Romeo. I will not budge for no man s pleasure, I but with gusto, Tybalt s rapier pricked me under Romeo s shadow. O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! Romeo, your bleeding heart made mine literally gush. My tunic has been dyed red by a scratch, a scratch by the relative of your crush. Why the devil came you between us, Juliet? My life cannot have ended by my deeds, So it must be yours. A curse: A plague on both your houses! will plant a seed In the mind of Fate because I guess my destiny was to be worm s meat. A willing sacrifice, but now regretful. My boiling blood is leaking on Mantua s street. A sick twist of fate when these violent delights meet violent ends. O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? I thought we were friends.
