Line2
Romeo: [speaking to himself] The girl on the balcony up there is so pretty. She is even prettier than the prettiest thing in the world! I love her heaps! If only she knew she was the one I worship so much! She's speaking to herself. I should say something but she might think I'm stuck up because she is not talking to me. Her eyes are so beautiful! There like two twinkling stars! She's leaning on her hand. If I could be anything in the world right now I would be a glove upon her hand so I could touch that beautifully soft cheek of hers.
[Juliet sighs]
Romeo: Oh, my bright angel you are the angel of all angels!
Juliet: [unaware of Romeo's presence] Oh, Romeo, Romeo! Forget my father and refuse my name. Tell me you love me and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo: Should I speak now or hear more?
Juliet: It is only your last name that is my family's enemy. If you had any other name you will still be the same person. Why do you have to be a Montague? Romeo throw away your name and for your name which isn't any part of you take mine.
Romeo: [speaking aloud to Juliet] I'll discard my name and no longer be a Montague because I love you so much!
Juliet: [startled] Who's out there? I can't see because it is so dark.
Romeo: I don't know how to tell you who I am. I hate my name because it is an enemy to you.
Juliet: I haven't yet heard a hundred words spoken by that voice but I know who it is. It is Romeo Montague.
Romeo: No, it is not, if you dislike my name.
Juliet: How did you get here? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb and if anybody in my family finds you here...
Romeo: Love for you drove me here and nobody could stop me.
Juliet: If my family does find you here they would murder you!
Romeo: I have the night's darkness to hide me from them and if they do find me my last memory will be of you.
Juliet: Do you love me? I know you'll say yes! Oh, handsome Romeo, if you do love me lets get married or if you think I'm pronouncing my love to you too easily then I will do everything to pretend that I'm not. But the reality is I love you very deeply.
Romeo: I swear these things by '
Juliet: [interrupting] Don't swear by something. Just say it and I will believe you. Although I love you deeply I think we should have some time alone to think about this to make sure we're making the right decision about getting married tomorrow.
Romeo: Will you leave me so unsatisfied tonight?
Juliet: What satisfaction can you have tonight?
Romeo: The exchange of your love to me.
Juliet: I gave it to you before you even requested it. And I would give it to you again if it were to be given again.
Romeo: [puzzled] Would you withdraw it? What for?
Juliet: So I could give it to you again. My love for you is deep the more I give to you the more I have to give.
[Nurse is calling "Juliet!" inside the house]
I hear someone calling me. See you.
Nurse: Juliet!
Juliet: I'm coming!
[to Romeo] Stay, I will come back.
Romeo: [talking to himself] I'm afraid that because it is nightime that this is all a dream.
[Juliet re-enters]
Juliet: Goodnight Romeo! Tomorrow I will send someone to you to tell me what time we are going to be married if we do get married tomorrow.
Nurse: [inside] Juliet!
Juliet: I'm coming Nurse!
[Juliet exits, but immediately returns]
Romeo!
Romeo: Yes, Juliet.
Juliet: What time should I send someone to you to find out the information?
Romeo: At 9:00.
Juliet:Ok. Good night Romeo.{THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE SCRIPT:she gives him a goodnight kiss on the lips}
Romeo: Sweet dreams.
[Juliet exits]
Romeo: [thinking aloud] I will go to Friar Laurence to ask him if I can marry the beautiful Juliet sometime tomorrow.
[Romeo exits]
