The Tragedy of Feliks and Vash
Mercutio: (Is about to say something.)
Benvolio: Come on, we'd better get to the party!
Romeo: (sigh) Fine, let's go. (Drama queen like)
At the party
[Extras, Tybalt, {serving men}, Paris, Juliet, Capulet, Lady Capulet {nurse in corner} all dancing]
Lady Capulet: (Clinging to Capulet) Don't Paris and Juliet look lovely together?
Capulet: (Standing there awkwardly) Da…they do.
Across the room
Paris: Would you like to go somewhere more private?
Juliet: (Questionable stare.) No.
Paris: Why not? There's no harm in privacy.
Juliet: Yes, there are many things wrong with that.
Paris: You don't sound very enthusiastic.
Juliet: I'm as serious as murder.
Paris: Prove it.
Juliet: (pulls pistol out of back pocket, Aims at Paris's head.)
Paris: okay, I believe you! (Expression of terror on face.)
Juliet: Good. (Tucks pistol back in pocket.)
At the door
[Mercutio, Benvolio, and Romeo standing in a line in front of the Bouncer]
Bouncer: (Stares at clip board.) Names?
Mercutio: Mercutio, relative of the Prince
Benvolio: (nervous) Yao?
Bouncer: Um…(checks clip board) OH! China, okay. And you?
Romeo: (struggles for words) F-Francis.
Bouncer: You are Paris? Huh, I thought you'd be shorter. Well, go on in you three.
Across the room with Capulet and Lady Capulet
[Camera man] they don't pay me enough.
Lady Capulet: (still clinging to Capulet) were they just fighting?
Capulet: (attempts to remove hand from Lady Capulet's grip, fails to.) No… No such thing.
Lady Capulet: I hope she doesn't offend him.
Capulet: I doubt she put a dent in his ego…
Across the room again to Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio
Benvolio: Look around, sample the merchandise
Mercutio: (walks off toward the corner where the Nurse is.)
Romeo: Just sample?
Benvolio: Just don't let the 1st one you see take your heart.
Romeo: Since when do I, like, do that?
Benvolio: Every time.
Across the room to Nurse and Mercutio
Nurse: I couldn't help but notice that you brought two Montague's to the party.
Mercutio: (chuckles awkwardly) I was hoping nobody would notice…
Nurse: Not one of your best ideas.
Mercutio: Yeah…
Across the room back to Romeo and Benvolio
Romeo: No not with…no.
Benvolio: Told you so.
Romeo: I'm going to go join the party, like, now… (Turns and sees Juliet, standing with Paris)
Romeo: (grabs a random girl and dances with her {staring at Juliet})
Across the room to Paris and Juliet
Paris: How about now? The offer still stands.
Juliet: (blank stair with demented face.) No. {Walk off}
Paris: She just couldn't handle this.
Camera focuses on Juliet walking away. Romeo follows Juliet.
Across the room to Mercutio and Nurse
Nurse: Well? Are you going to go stop him? You do understand that they should not meet? That Capulet, or Tybalt for that matter, would kill him?
Mercutio: You aren't going to do anything? Why does it have to be me?
Nurse: because you are his friend, I am just a random stranger. Your word has more impact than mine.
Mercutio: You're smart…(walks after Romeo. Stops and turns back.) but why cant you just take her away from him, because I cant do that to Romeo.
Across the room to Tybalt
Tybalt: (talking to himself.) …this boy has the guts to come here. And with another Montague too! (Reaches for gun in pocket) Blast! I set it down some where, I must find it to kill those Montague scum. (Walks away to find weapon.)
In the random corner off to where Juliet walked.
[Juliet sitting stressed, on the ground. Romeo cautiously walking toward her. Slowly, not out of the ordinary walking.]
Juliet: Go away, there's a reason I am sitting here alone.
Romeo: Would you at least like to know my name?
Juliet: Not really, no. But seeing as you are going to tell me anyway, just go ahead.
Romeo: Its, um, like, Romeo.
Juliet: Well, okay, you should go now.
{Long silence}
Juliet: you should g- (looks up, sees Romeo, "love at 1st sight")
Romeo: I'm going to sit down now…
Juliet: Please, do sit. (Note to Madison and I, do not lose eye contact, keep eye contact and "love struck" looks on faces.)
Romeo: Your outfit, it caught my eye. Where did you get it?
Juliet: What kind of question is that?
Romeo: I just wanted to know…
Juliet: Well I don't know exactly, maybe Wal-Mart or Kohl's or something, I don't do my own shopping.
Romeo: I can take you shopping.
Juliet: Do I look like some one that would enjoy shopping?
Romeo: Maybe? You're, like, a girl after all…
Juliet: A little stereotypical aren't we now?
Romeo: I'm not that judgmental?
Juliet: Pfft right.
Romeo: So I toats wanna kiss you right now.
Kissing scene, Ukraine comes in front of camera with sign
Nurse: *cough cough* I'm not trying to intrude on anything. But you are aware of each other's linage.
Juliet: Um, no not really why?
Romeo: (Looks down awkwardly)
Nurse: Ah, so you didn't know, I'm got to go now…
Romeo: (after nurse walks away.) So I guess you want to know what she was talking about…
Juliet: Yesss, aren't we using our brains now?
Romeo: Well, I am like, a Montague.
Juliet: And why did you regret to mention this before?
Romeo: (Shrugs) it never came up.
Awkward, uneasy, silence.
Romeo: So this like, complicates things…
Juliet: No duh, Sherlock.
Romeo: So I'm like totally cool with you being a Capulet.
Juliet: Are you sure about that?
Romeo: Like, totally.
Juliet: Alright then.
They run off hand and hand. Romeo trips half way, taking Juliet down with him. They laugh, get up, and then run out the gate. (Entrance)
Camera follows behind them, stopping once they go out the door. Then turns to Tybalt who is watching from ladder. Mercutio and Benvolio are 2 feet from Tybalt, and when Tybalt goes to follow Romeo and Juliet, they follow just a few feet behind. Remember to tell them to be in position ahead of time.
Mercutio: You should just leave them alone…
Tybalt: Who am I to take orders from you!
Mercutio: Really, it's none of your business.
Tybalt: Are you willing to prove that? Duel me then, to the death.
Mercutio: N-No…
Romeo comes in with Juliet in tow.
Benvolio: Romeo! Cousin!
Tybalt: Juliet, get away from this Montague!
(Same time)
Romeo: What is like going on here?
Benvolio: Tybalt here has challenged Mercutio to a duel to the death.
Tybalt: That is correct.
Juliet: Not again Tybalt.
Romeo: Dear Mercutio, have you gotten in over your head again?
Tybalt: I am tired of talking, Do you accept?
Mercutio: I will duel you, not Romeo.
Tybalt: Then draw your weapon.
Mercutio: I don't— (shot dead on the spot)
Romeo: He's like dead! Dead and he didn't even get a weapon out! You sir shall die where you stand.
Juliet: Kill him, wow, well I can't stop you so I won't.
Romeo: (takes gun out of the Juliet's back pocket, randomly shoots, hits Tybalt's foot.)
Tybalt: (Shoots back, hitting the wall.)
Ukraine: (Randomly walks in and shoots Tybalt.)
Juliet: Well, that was odd..
Romeo: Yeah, like totally random, I will like meet you somewhere tomorrow?
Juliet: Where?
Benvolio: Sorry to interrupt, but we've got to go, the Prince's men are coming.
Romeo: The clock tower, at nine.
Juliet: Until then.
Romeo: Totally.
