A/n:
This is my take on the play "Romeo and Juliet". A little
crazy, that's all. If I owned this, I'd be dead. x.x
Romeo
and Juliet in 20!
Act 1 Scene 1
Gregory: There is a
fight down in the big house.
Sampson: I'm gonna kill 'em all and
chop off the women's heads.
Gregory: Why chop off the women's
heads?
Samson: Because if they look at me, they see an Abercrombie
and Fitch model, and that is too good for them!
Gregory: Whatever.
Hey look! Here comes some Montague!
Sampson: Do we run like
dogs?
Gregory: No, we stay.
Sampson: I will flick them
off.
[Abraham enters]
Abraham: Do you flick us off?
Sampson:
I sure do.
Abraham: Are you flickin' me off?
Sampson: [to
Gregory] Is it a good thing if we flick them off?
Gregory: It sure
ain't.
Sampson: I wasn't flickin' you off... I was... uh...
flickin' myself off.
Gregory: Do you fight?
Abraham: No, we
don't fight.
Gregory: Here comes one of my homies.
Abraham:
Liar.
Sampson: Fine. Draw your swords. Let's fight like men.
[Fight]
[Benvolio enters]
Benvolio: Stop fighting! You have no
idea what you're doin'!
[Tybalt enters]

you heartless pig!
Benvolio: But I'm not fighting!
Tybalt: I
hate all of you! [they fight]
[townspeople enter]
Townspeople:
KILL THEM ALL!
[Lady and Lord Capulet enter]
Capulet: Hey,
Lady! Gimmie my sword!
Lady C: Why do you want your
sword?
Capulet: Just give me my sword!
[Lady and Lord Montague
enter]
Montague: You are my enemy, you will die!
Lady: Do not
fight!
[the Prince enters]
Prince: If you fight in this town
again, or spill blood on these cobblestones, you will be killed. Got
it?
[everyone nods]
Prince: Alright! See ya'll! [everyone
leaves except Lady and Lord Montague and Benvolio]
Montague: What
happened?
Benvolio: Everybody was gonna kill everybody else, then
the Prince came... you know the rest.
Lady: Where's my
son?
Benvolio: He was trudging through the forest feeling sorry
for himself 'cus of his break-up with that ho Rosaline.
Montague:
He's been sulking at his window, and not letting any light through
his room. You think he might be on extacy?
[all shrug]
Montague:
I don't know. Whatever happened to him, he's in a bind.
[Romeo
enters; Lady and Lord Montague leave]
Benvolio: What's wrong with
you lately?
Romeo: I'm in love.
Benvolio: With...
Romeo:
Rosaline, but she's not gonna get hitched with me, so I gotta go kill
myself now.
Benvolio: Oh well. Stay alive, there's more fish in
the sea.
[they leave]
Act 1 Scene 2
[Capulet, Paris
and Servant enter]
Paris: What do you want?
Capulet: I want you
to marry my 13 year-old daughter.
Paris: Cool! When do I marry
her?
Capulet: I want you to win her heart.
Paris: Nothin' a few
flowers and kisses can't do.
Capulet: This calls for a party!
Come're servant! Give me a piece of paper. [writes down a lot of
people's names that he doesn't know on that piece of paper] Okay, go
tell these people that I want them to come to a party. It will be
held tonight!
[Capulet and Paris leave]
Servant: I can't
read!
[Benvolio and Romeo enter]
Benvolio: Get a new girl. Is
it really that hard?
Romeo: For me it is.
Servant: Can you
read?
Romeo: What kind of question is that? Of course I can
read!
[Servant hands Romeo the letter]
Romeo: I know these
people! [reads note to Servant aloud] Rosaline is going to be there,
too?
Servant: As long as you are down with the Capulets, you guys
can come too. [leaves]
Benvolio: Yes! We get to go to a party! And
we get to eat, too!
Romeo: *sigh* But Rosaline will be
there.
Benvolio: Just find some girl more beautiful than she is,
you fool!
Romeo: I'll go 'cus you want to. [they leave]
Act
1 Scene 3
[Lady Capulet and Nurse enter]
Lady: Where's my
daughter?
Nurse: Somewhere. JULIET!!!!!!
[Juliet
enters]
Juliet: What?
Nurse: *points* Your mother wants
you.
Juliet: What do you want?
Lady: Go away, Nurse. *pause*
Wait- come back. I'm insecure and can't talk to my child alone, so I
need someone here with us. You know that Juliet is a very attractive
teen now.
Juliet: I'm still in the room, ya know.
Nurse: She's
13 now. She will be 14 at the end of the week. I remember when I had
a child... *sigh* The good memories... until the baby died... oh
well.
Lady: Shutup.
Nurse: I want to see you married,
Juliet.
Lady: That's the reason I came here. Paris wants your hand
in marriage, but you have no say in it anyway, so you might as well
forget about trying to get out of it.
Nurse: He looks like an
Abercrombie and Fitch model.
Juliet: I'll think about it.
[Servant
enters]

soon enough! [they leave]

Romeo: Yea...
right. I dreamed last night.
Mercutio: Queen Mab was with you last
night.
Romeo: Aw... shutup. You have no idea what you are talkin'
about. There's no such thing.
Benvolio: If I miss supper, it's
your fault!
Romeo: I'm going to die soon. O.o [they exit]
