Chapter 2 - The party

Music: (Music is played and after a while it gets turn down a little, so the narrator can talk, with the music playing in the background).

Usopp: There is a party at the Capulet family. All in Verona is invited, except the Montaque family.

(The Capulet family and the guests comes onto the stage. They have glasses in their hands and cheers with each other. Then they talk with each other in low voices).

But Romeo and his friend Benvolino has disguised themselves, so they could participate in this party too.

Law: (Stands before the stage with big capes around them)
Benvilino my friend. Let's go to the party, so we don't stand in this rain.

Bepo: Rain? It can't rain in the gym, so don't talk nonsense.

Law: (Not in role)
So it's nonsense? Then tell me why the floor is all wet?

Bepo: It's because …

Law: … It has rained.
(In the role again).
We'll go to the party.

Bepo: But Romeo, my brave friend. It could be dangerous. If they catch us, it could cost us our lives. Alas. See the brave and dangerous Tybalt is here too.

Law: Coward. Come on.
(Crawls onto the stage).

Bepo: Sorry. (Lowers his head) It would never go well.
(Follows with great difficulties).

Luffy: (Laughs loud and heartily, with a big piece of meat)

Law: (Sits on the stage edge)
Oh, Benvolino. Who is this beautiful, young woman, who's standing there?

Luffy: (Makes herself beautiful, while the food is eaten hurriedly)

Bepo: Forget her, my brave friend. It's the daughter of Mrs. Capulet, Juliet.

Law: Her I need to meet.

Bepo: (Tries to talk him to let Juliet be)

Luffy: (In the opposite of the stage. To her nurse)
Oh Ace. I mean: Oh Nurse, who is this young man over there?

Ace: (A little tired. -Gazes over the audience)
Where? I'm too tired to look.

Luffy: (Without taking her eyes of Romeo)
The young, handsome and manly.

Ace: (Still looking at the audience)
Ah you mean Marco.
(One from the audience)

Luffy: No. I said HANDSOME and MANLY.
(Discover that the nurse gazes the wrong way)
That way.

Ace: (Almost falls asleep standing, before waking up and blinks a few times)
You could've said so, you wet sock. Whom of those four do you mean, my virgin dear?

Luffy: Law, goddamnit … I mean: The one in the red cape.

Ace: Like I know. Never seen him before … Oh. Alas and fear. It's The Surgeon of death. I mean: It's the young Romeo Montaque. Hopefully the brace Tybalt would see him.

Luffy: (Giggles)

Ace: If you want it that way, then …

Luffy: Don't tell about him. I need to talk to him, the hotness.

(Romeo and Juliet walks slowly towards each other. On the middle, they meet. Just in front of the Prompter, they stop. There is silence for a while)

Law: Oh.
(To the prompter)
What am I supposed to say?

Frankie: You know that. Say it now.

Law: Should I say it? Is it really necessary?

Frankie: I don't want this anymore.
(To Romeo)
What did you think you should say? "Excuse me Misses, would you be so kind and show me the way to Grand Line?" Baka, just say it.

Law: Damn, but I will only say it once.
(Says quickly)
She's so beautiful.

Luffy: I'm no wom… Oh shit I am.
He's not bad looking himself, young man.
(Romeo and Juliet talks in low voices to each other)

Usopp: Romeo and Juliet falls in love.

Law: Yikes

Luffy: (To Usopp)
I don't want to play with Law anymore if he keeps being like this.

Usopp: (Put Law and Luffy to the side. With the back to the audience, he scolds them).

Shanks: (To save the scene, she steps forward)
Now there's a break. Oh no. I mean that… Damn I forgot.

Frankie: Dinner is served.

Shanks: Then rather some Sake.

Frankie: Go on. Go on.

Shanks: But now I have again forgotten what I had to say.

Frankie: You're just a baka, if you can't remember your character.

Ace: (Yawning)
Yes he's just a big pussy.

Frankie: (To Shanks)
Just think about it.

Shanks: (Think it's the missing line)
JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

Frankie: No, that's not what you have to say.

Shanks: NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

Frankie: I give up.

Shanks: I GIVE UP.
(To Frankie)
Should I say that?

Frankie: (Put his head into his palms)

Ace: (To Miss C.)
Come my pious Miss. Let us go.
(The nurse, Miss C and all others guest starts to leave the stage. Miss C. starts to explain to the others that she can play her character. At last only Romeo and Juliet are on the stage).

Law: I'll come to you tonight.

Luffy: I hope you'll bring a lot of meat. But you have to flee now. If Tybalt sees you, he's going to kill you.

Law: Then goodbye my lovely maiden.
(Jumps from the stage and starts to walk through the room. Juliet stays for a while and waves after him, before she runs backstage. Romeo now stands on a newly washed floor, with his back towards Miss J.)

Miss J.: Get your damn ass moving and it can only be too slow.

Law: I'm very sorry Miss J. It was not on purpose.
(Runs out)

Miss J.: It what all says, but the next time, I'm giving them a piece of the wet mop.
(To the nearest audience)
Get your feet up, you big male chauvinist.
