ROMEO & JULIET: A Rom-Com/SMG4 version

Act 2: Scene 2

~Capulet's orchard~

RO: Oh god, i got something on my throat.

(tries to cough about it, but he saw Kuro at the window)

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou her maid art far more fair than she:

Be not her maid, since she is envious;

Her vestal livery is but sick and green

And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.

It is my lady, O, it is my love!

O, that she knew she were!

She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?

Her eye discourses; I will answer it.

I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,

As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven

Would through the airy region stream so bright

That birds would sing and think it were not night.

See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!

O, that I were a glove upon that hand,

That I might touch that cheek!

KURO: Ok, now what's going on?

RO: I can't help it. It must've been the berries i've ingest-

(suddenly he coughed & the berry came out on his throat & into hers)

KURO: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name;

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

RO: (starts climbing the vines to the balcony)

Oh god, can you please stop?

KURO: Sorry. I can't!

(she continues reciting while also trying to cough it out)

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What's in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

And for that name which is no part of thee

Take all myself.

(she finally spat out the berry, where she threw it away)

RO: What's that berry tho?

KURO: Oh, it's a special drama berry.

It gives intruders a lengthy thought sphere where they'd easily been caught.

RO: Yeah, it kinda feels weird for that thing to should exist.

KURO: Tell me about it.

KURO: You do know you ain't supposed to be in here, right?

RO: Yeah, but I had to risk it all for you, my grace.

KURO: Tell me, do you think you'd really love me?

RO: What'd you mean?

KURO: I mean, it all feels so sudden & all, but I almost feel the same thing as you.

RO: What, an excessive mess of bottled up romantic feelings?

KURO: That, & the fact i'm in love with you.

RO: Well, let's say we're both even. ;)

Nurse calls within

KURO: Can you wait first? I think she had something important for me.

RO: Meh, ok.

KURO: Thanks, man. (leaves for a while & then returns)

RO: So, what did she say?

KURO: Yah, i think by tomorrow, i'mma send someone to you as a test of love.

Nurse

[Within] Madam!

KURO: Coming! Can you wait a bit longer?

RO: Better make it quick. I might've heard a few breaking noises on that vine here.

(She then left again)

ROMEO

A thousand times the worse, to want thy light.

Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from

their books,

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.

Retiring

Re-enter JULIET, above

RO: Did you got the time?

Kuro: Yep. 9AM tommorow sharp. Talk about some early bird business, huh?

RO: I would I were thy bird.

Kuro: Sweet, so would I:

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.

Good night, good night! parting is such

sweet sorrow,

That I shall say good night till it be morrow. (leaves the balcony for a final time)

RO:Wait, is that a reference from the drama berry earlier?

KURO: Just go to bed.

RO: Ok then.

(he then goes down the vines just as it breaks)

(inside mind) Don't worry. I got a man that'll do the right job.
