Act+3+Script

** Juliet //(while writing in journal)// **
==== I wish the sun would set so it would be night. I want Romeo to come to me and no one will know we are together. The best time for love is night. I want the night to come so I can lose my virginity to my love, Romeo. Night needs to come and so does Romeo who makes the night seem like day. Night please come and give me my Romeo. And when I die I want him to become stars and form a constellation of his face so that the night will be so beautiful everyone will forget about daytime. I am Romeo’s to own but he still hasn’t taken ownership of me. Today is so boring and I can’t wait for night. ====

** Juliet **
==== Oh he’s disgusting! He is like a snake disguised as a flower. I hate him so much! He seemed like such a wonderful man and he has proved to be the opposite. He seemed honorable but he should be damned. I can’t believe something so evil could exist in something so stunning. ====

**Juliet //(talking to herself)//**
==== I shouldn’t say bad things about my own husband. But Romeo why did you kill my cousin? Well I guess because my cousin would have otherwise killed Romeo. I’m not going to cry at all. I would cry from happiness that Romeo is alive, but I should really cry because my cousin is dead. Romeo, the one who Tybalt wanted to kill, is alive. Tybalt, who wanted to kill Romeo, is dead. This is good news, right? Well then why should I cry? “Tybalt is dead and Romeo has been expelled.” Romeo’s expulsion is worse than ten thousand deaths of Tybalt. Telling me of Tybalt’s death is like saying one or both of my parents are dead. But to tell me that Romeo is expelled is like saying my mom, my dad, Tybalt, Romeo, and Juliet are dead. //(now talking to Nurse)// Nurse, where are my parents? ====

// Nurse exits. //
Act III Scene III

// Enters Friar //

**FRIAR** Romeo, come out of hiding! You are safe here!

// Romeo Enters //

** ROMEO ** Friar, what did the Prince say my punishment was?

** FRIAR ** He said that you have to be expelled. But don’t worry, there are other schools in this world!

** ROMEO ** He might as well have killed me. If I can’t go to one of these schools, I can’t be with Juliet!

** FRIAR ** The prince just did you a favor! Instead of sending you to jail, he spared you and just had you expelled. You should be thankful!

** ROMEO ** But it’s not a favor! He has separated me from my true love! Without her, my life means nothing; I might as well be dead.

** FRIAR ** You’re crazy! How can you not see that this is a blessing!

** ROMEO ** You are not young and in love like I am. You do not see the real situation I’m in!

// (knocking) //

** FRIAR ** Romeo, go hide! Someone might see you!

** ROMEO ** I don’t care if they see me!

** FRIAR ** Romeo, why are you so stupid? If they see you, you will go to jail! Hide!!

// (knocking) //

** FRIAR ** I’m coming!

// (opens door) //

** NURSE ** It’s about time you opened this, I’ve been standing here forever!

** FRIAR ** Sorry, Romeo wouldn’t move.

** NURSE ** (at Romeo) What are you sulking for?

** ROMEO ** I have been expelled! My life is over! I should just kill myself right now!

// (takes dagger, tries to stab himself, but NURSE stops him) //

** FRIAR ** Don’t act that suddenly! Are you a man? Because from the looks of your tears, you look like a woman. Why would you kill yourself when Juliet loves you so much? Man-up and get over it!

** NURSE ** Exactly! Juliet is worried sick about you, and you would just end your life like that?

** ROMEO ** Juliet? How is she? Does she think I’m a murderer?

** NURSE ** No! She wants to see you!

** ROMEO ** I will have to come and be with her. Nurse, will you tell her I will come?

** NURSE ** Yes, I will warn her of your arrival. Oh! I almost forgot! This is the ring Juliet wanted me to give you.

// (NURSE gives ROMEO the ring, and then exits) //

** FRIAR ** Don’t wait around Romeo! Go to your wife!

** ROMEO ** Thank you for your advice Father.

// (ROMEO exits) //

** FRIAR ** Good luck good Romeo.

SCENE 4

//Enter Lord and Lady Capulet and Paris. // **Lord Capulet ** Things have been so crazy around here with Tybalt’s death that we haven’t had time to convince Juliet to marry you. She loved Tybalt very much. It’s really late and she won’t come downstairs tonight. **Paris ** This is a bad time for romance. Goodnight to you both and send my respects to Juliet. **Lady Capulet ** I will. And tomorrow I’ll see what she thinks about your marriage, but for now I’m just going to leave her alone. **Lord Capulet ** I don’t doubt that Juliet will do whatever I say. //(to Lady Capulet)// Visit her before you go to bed and tell her that Paris loves her. Also mention that on Friday, wait what day is it? **Paris ** Wednesday. **Lord Capulet ** Oh it’s Wednesday haha! Friday is too soon. Well then tell her that she will marry Paris on Saturday. //(to Paris)// Will you be ready? Is it ok to rush it? We won’t have a huge celebration, just a few friends. We don’t want people to think that we don’t care that Tybalt just died if we have a huge celebration. We’ll just invite a few friends, twelve or so. Is that ok with you? **Paris ** That’s perfect! I can’t wait. **Lord Capulet ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">Great! Saturday it is then. //(to Lady Capulet)// Go see Juliet before you go to bed and tell her about the wedding. //(to Paris)// I’ll see you soon Paris. Goodnight. I’m off to bed. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lady Capulet ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">Goodnight Paris. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Paris ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">Goodnight to you both. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Exeunt. //

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> SCENE 5 // Romeo and Juliet enter. // Are you leaving now? There’s still a long time until the sun rises. Trust me you can stay a little longer. Look, the sun is rising. If I’m going to live, I’ll have to leave right now. If I stay, they’ll kill me. That’s not even daylight Romeo. You don’t have to go yet. Then I’ll be killed if that’s what you want. I’ll pretend it’s still night and that is the reflection of the moon. I really want to stay with you. Let me die if that is what you want. Let’s just talk. I’ll stay. You’re right Romeo it is morning. Get out of here. Hurry before they find you. The sun is getting higher. Leave before it gets too light. As it gets lighter, the worse things get for us. // Nurse enters. // Juliet? Yeah? Your mom is coming! Be careful. // Nurse exits. // Leave through the window. I’ll leave, but give me a kiss goodbye. // They kiss and Romeo climbs down. // I hate that you have to leave. Text me every day. This feels like we’ll be apart forever. I can’t wait ‘til I can see you again. Goodbye Juliet. I’ll text you, I promise. And I’ll send you my love. Do you think we’ll ever see each other again? Of course we will. All this drama will give us something to tell each other later on. Goodbye my love. Goodbye Juliet. I love you. // Romeo exits. // Everyone says you can’t make up your mind if you change your mind too much. I hope Romeo stays faithful. I hope he texts me soon. Juliet? Are you awake? Is that my mom? Why is she up so early? // Lady Capulet enters. // Juliet, what are you doing? I don’t feel good Mom. Stop crying about Tybalt. A little crying is ok but too much makes you look stupid. Let me keep crying, it was a terrible loss. You can cry all you want but Tybalt won’t feel anything. For something as terrible as this I’ll have to cry forever. Juliet, you’re not crying because he is dead as much as you are crying because the killer is still out there. Who’s the killer? Romeo. That villainous Montague boy. // (whispering to herself) //He’s not a villain at all. // (to Lady Capulet) //No one could make my heart grieve the way he does. We will get revenge. Quit crying. I’ll send someone to wherever Romeo is and he’ll poison his drink. Romeo will join Tybalt in death and then you will be satisfied. I’ll never be satisfied with Romeo until I see him dead. My poor cousin. If you find someone to deliver the poison, I’ll make it myself so he will die right when he drinks it. I hate how people say his name but don’t go after him. I want to take my love for my cousin and use it to hurt the man who killed him. Make the poison and I’ll find someone to deliver it to him. But now I have good news. What’s the news Mom? Please tell me. Your father loves you. He arranged a good day for you that you haven’t expected. Mom, what is it? It’s Saturday morning at 9:30 at Saint Peter’s Church and you will be the happy bride of Paris. What?! I would never marry Paris. If I’m ever gonna marry someone it’s gonna be Romeo, not Paris. Juliet, here comes your dad. Tell him about this and see what he thinks. // Lord Capulet and Nurse enter. // Juliet, are you still crying? You need to stop. You can’t cry forever. // (to Lady Capulet) // Did you tell her about our decision? Yeah, I told her but she doesn’t want to marry him. Wait, why? She doesn’t like him? He’s a great boy for her. Thanks for trying but I couldn’t be proud of him as a husband. I hate him and I can’t marry someone I hate. Juliet, you spoiled little girl. How could you say something like that? I don’t care what you say. You make me sick. You are going to marry Paris at Saint Peter’s Church this Saturday even if I have to drag you there myself! Are you crazy, don’t talk to her like that! Dad, would you please just listen to me for once. Juliet shut up! Don’t talk back to me. You’ll do as I say or never look me in the eye again. I’m not going to deal with your rude behavior. // (Juliet stands up.) // Juliet, I could slap you right now! You disgust me. Chill out! You’re being so mean to her. She’s your daughter! Why should I? Just shut up and go home! I’m just saying. I mean I didn’t say anything wrong. Oh my God. Am I not allowed to talk? Just shut up, ok? I don’t want to hear it. Please will you calm down? Dammit, I’ve spent God knows how long trying to find a suitable person for Juliet to marry and now I have. He comes from a wealthy family, he’s handsome, and he has a great education. He sounds like a pretty good man to me. Any girl would be lucky to have him. If you don’t want to marry him that’s perfectly fine but you are no longer aloud to live in my house. Just think about it, Juliet. You can marry him on Saturday or you can live on the streets and starve. This I promise Juliet. Think about what I’ve said. I don’t go back on my promises. // Lord Capulet exits. // Mom, please don’t let him kick me out. I really don’t want to marry that stupid guy. Do whatever you want Juliet; I’m done with you. // Lady Capulet exits. // // (To Nurse) // Please give me some advice. I have no clue what I should do. This sucks. Please help me. So here’s what I have to say: Romeo is expelled and who knows if you’re ever gonna see him again. Your dad found you an awesome guy to marry and I think you should marry him. Seriously Juliet, he’s so hot. Romeo is nothing compared to Paris. I think you should forget about Romeo and just marry Paris. Even if you don’t want to marry him, your marriage with Romeo is over and he won’t even be around anymore for you to be together. Is that the truth? That’s what you really think? Of course it is Juliet. Hey will you go tell my mom that I feel terrible for how I treated my dad and that I’m going to Friar Lawrence’s cell to confess and be forgiven? Yeah, I will. // Nurse exits. // Ugh! That was so rude of her to tell me to just forget about Romeo like that. She used to like Romeo and now she’s saying horrible things about him. I’m never going to tell her anything ever again. I’m gonna go talk to Friar Lawrence. If nothing works out I’ll always have the power to take my own life. // Juliet exits. //
