                                              SAMPSON and GREGORY, servants of the Capulet family, enter carrying swords and small shields
                          

                            SAMPSON

                          Gregory, I swear, we can't let them humiliate us. We won't take their garbage
                            GREGORY
                          (teasing SAMPSON) No, because then we'd be garbagemen.
                          SAMPSON
                          What I mean is, if they make us angry we'll pull out our swords.
                          

                            GREGORY
                          Maybe you should focus on pulling yourself out of trouble, Sampson
                          

                            SAMPSON
                          I hit hard when I'm angry.
                          

                            GREGORY
                          But it's hard to make you .
                          

                            SAMPSON
                          One of those dogs from the Montague house can make me angry.
                          

                            GREGORY
                          Angry enough to run away. You won't stand and fight.
                          

                            SAMPSON
                          A dog from that house will make me angry enough to take a stand. If I pass one of them on the street, I'll take the side closer to the wall and let him walk in the gutter.
