Act 4, Scene 1 [**//Frair Lawrence//** // and // **// Paris //** // enter // ] [Panning on scenery] ** Frair Lawrence ** : On Thursday? That’s soon.

=
** Paris ** : She’s been really depressed from Tybalt’s death, and I haven’t talked to her much, because there isn’t much room for love when there’s so much sadness. He thinks it’s best to have a quick marriage to stop the sadness. She thinks too much when she’s alone, and being with others may help her heal. Now, do you understand why we have to do this quickly? =====

=
** Frair Lawrence ** : Oh Juliet..I already know why you’re in pain. I’m at wits end about it. But I hear you’re forced to, and nothing can change it..I’m sorry, but on Thursday you have to go with Paris. =====

=
** Juliet ** : Tell me how I can prevent it! If you can’t help me, I’ll take it into my own hands...[//looks around frantically, picks up knife//] and with this knife I'll kill myself! God brought Romeo and me together; And you married us, Or my true heart will turn and betray him to take my life and my heart! So //please//, tell me what else I can do, or I swear I’ll do the unspeakable! =====

=
** Frair Lawrence ** : Hold on! Let me think. If you’ve made up your mind to kill yourself instead of marrying Paris, I guess you’ll be willing to try something like death to solve this problem. If you’re up to it, I’ll give you the solution. =====

=
** Frair Lawrence ** : Alright, Alright! I might know how to fix this. It’s gunna be tricky, we have to play it out just right...If you have the strength to kill yourself, then you can do this, rather than give into death and sadness. If you think you can, I’ll tell you how. =====

=
** Friar Lawrence ** : It makes it seem like you’re dead. That’s part one of the plan. Part two comes in action when Paris finds you “dead”. They’ll lay you in the family burial house, and when night comes you will wake up to Romeo, and you two will live happily ever after. The end. =====

=
** Juliet ** : I was somewhere where I learned being mean to my father is a sin. Father Lawrence told me to beg for your forgiveness. [//grabs his hand//] Forgive me, Father. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do. =====

=
** Juliet: ** What if this mixture doesn’t work? [//lies down on her bed//] What if Friar Lawrence mixed this to kill me? I’m afraid that this is poison..What if i wake up too early? Will I die of suffocation before Romeo comes? [//says quietly before she drinks the vile//] I hope everything goes ok..[//falls asleep in her bed. Romeo& Juliet montage begins.]// I’ll see you soon Romeo… I love you… //[Shows hand falling from bed.//] =====

** Capulet ** : What's taking so long? Get Juliet over here! She has things to do!
