COUNT PARIS
I love Juliet I have waited for long but does she want to marry me
19

LORD CAPULET
I don't have to ask her for her consent and this is the best way to
take her out of the Tybalt deaths
 COUNT PARIS
If that's the case, then I wish Thursday were tomorrow

LORD CAPULET
(Lord Capulet talks to Juliet and said her plan)

JULIET
No, I don't want to marry him

LORD CAPULET
At every dinner every gathering everyday every night I have only and
only thought to get a good man match for you and now when I find count
this is how you repay me I have enough you listen to my daughter you
marry him on Thursday and if you dare to reject the accountant, I wish
then will disown you will be dead to me

JULIET
No father please, mother please Nurse what do I do I already have a
husband I can live with anyone else I want to go to him I want my
Romeo back

NURSE
He is gone what is a husband when he cant stay with his wife you will
marry the count

JULIET
Did this come from your heart?
20

NURSE
And my soul I want you to be happy my dear

JULIET
Very well then, go tell my father. Liable for disobeying my father, I
will confess to the friar today

NURSE
You did the right thing my child, I know you will do it

FRIAR LAURENCE
I understand your pain my Juliet

JULIET
If you don't assist me, I will undoubtedly pass away, but I guarantee
you that passing away would be preferable to living without my love.
My love was exiled, and now I'm forced to marry another man, but my
heart refuses to beat without Romeo.

FRIAR LAURENCE
There is a way, but it involves a lot of risk. I will give you poison
made from a very rare flower that will stop your heart for a day and
your family will think you are dead. I will send a letter to Romeo,
and if everything goes according to my plan, you will wake up to see
Romeo and you can both start your own lives. However, if Romeo doesn't
get there on time you will find yourself among the dead.

JULIET
I'm willing to die if it is the only way to see Romeo once more

21

FRIAR LAURENCE
Your wedding day is the day after tomorrow, so I'll send Friar John to
deliver my message to Romeo. Because it's a long journey, send your
nurse away the next night, and drink this instead; it will take effect
right away. Goodbye, my child, and may the Lord be with you

JULIET
I agree to marry Count Paris, and father I apologize

LORD CAPULET
You make me proud and happy my daughter Juliet

NURSE
What makes you sleep this long Juliet its you wedding day, come on my
child wake up, Juliet madam my child wake up (Juliet wasn’t waling up
so the nurse checked her pulse, there was no pulse)no no my child!
Juliet!

ROMEO

course Benvolio why aren't you answering

BENVOLIO
What do I say as beautiful as ever the heavens we're always jealous
they took her back Juliet is dead

ROMEO
That is a lie

22

BENVOLIO
I wish it were I wish with all my heart and soul that it were I saw
her body with my own eyes
 ROMEO
No no my so betrayed her heart of mine still beats just leave me alone
It is as potent as you say it is

NARRATOR
Romeo buys a poison from the poor apothecary

FRIAR JOHN
I apologize for feeling unwell while traveling and being unable to
give Romeo the letter on time.

FRIAR LAURENCE
oh no

COUNT PARIS
W hat are you doing here Montague

ROMEO
That name doesn’t matter anymore I am a dead man going to see my love

COUNT PARIS
You’re not going anywhere how dare you step near a Capulet tomb

23

ROMEO
I’m not here to harm you I’m only here to kill myself

COUNT PARIS
 I can help you with that

ROMEO
(Fights with Count Paris) My friend, rest in peace; the person who
killed you won't be here for long.
(ROMEO Crying)
Anyone ever as happy as I am before they pass away remember what I
said the next time we meet we will never be apart this is the most
divine potion on earth for it will bring us together My love, my life,
how is you're still so beautiful that took you away but it could not
take your beauty let me take your last embrace in this world I am

JULIET

Love, no not a single drop for me to follow after but I know these
still linger on your lips. Wait for me, for I am coming to you with
this last kiss a curse isn’t enough.

tragic incident that took their lives this morning, tonight the moon
will be ashamed to show itself, the stars won’t twinkle in the dark
sky for never was a love story more tragic than this, Romeo and Juliet
