A public square in Verona, Italy

As the scene opens, two young Capulets servants swagger across the stage joking and bragging. When they happen to meet servants from the rival house of Montague, a quarrel begins that grows into an ugly street fight. Finally the ruler of Verona, Price Escalus, appears. He is angry about the violence in his city and warns that next offenders will receive the death penalty. The crowd fades away and the stage is set for the entrance of Romeo, heir of the Montague family. Romeo, lovesick and miserable, can talk of nothing but his love for Rosaline and her cruelty in refusing to love him back.

Kai(Sampson): Gregory, on my words, we'll not carry coals.

Yeonjun(Gregory): No for then we should be colliers.

Kai(Sampson): I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw.

Yeonjun(Gregory): Ay, while you live, draw your neck out of collar.

Kai(Sampson): I strike quickly, being moved.

Yeonjun(Gregory): but thou art not quickly moved to strike

Kai(Sampson): a dog of the house of Montague moves me

Yeonjun(Gregory): to move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand. Therefore, if thou art moved, thou runnest away

Kai(Sampson): a dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montagues

Yeonjun(Gregory): that shows thee a weak slave, for the weakest goes to the wall

Kai(Sampson): tis true; and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall. Therefore I will push Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall

Yeonjun(Gregory): the quarrel is between our masters and us their men

Kai(Sampson): tis all one. I will show myself a tyrant. When I have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids: I will cut off their heads

Yeonjun(Gregory): the heads of the maids?

Kai(Sampson): ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads. Take it in what sense thou wilt

Yeonjun(Gregory): they must take it in sense that feel it

Kai(Sampson): me they shall feel while I am able to stand; and tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh.

Yeonjun(Gregory): tis well thou art not fish; if thou hadst, thou hadst been poor-john. Draw thy tool! Here comes two of the house Montagues.

[Enter Abram and Balthasar, servants to the Montagues.]

Kai(Sampson): my naked weapon is out. Quarrel! I will back thee

Yeonjun(Gregory): how? Turn thy back and run?

Kai(Sampson): fear me not

Yeonjun(Gregory): no, marry. I fear thee!

Kai(Sampson): let us take the law of our sides; let them begin

Yeonjun(Gregory): I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as they list

Kai(Sampson): nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them; which is disgrace to them, if they bear it.

Jungkook (Abram): do you bite your thumb at us sir?

Kai(Sampson): I do bite my thumb, sir.
