Romeo and Juliet: The Abridged Version – Act 2, Scene 3

Benvolio and Mercutio wake up, surrounded by bottles of wine and in various states of undress.

MERCUTIO: Oh shit, did we?

BENVOLIO: We totally did.

MERCUTIO: If you tell anyone, I'll kill you with my bare hands.

BENVOLIO: But if you ever want to go again, you have my number…

MERCUTIO: I may just take you up on that…

They begin to frolic; Mercutio wrestles Benvolio to the ground and places his hands in very unfortunate places. Benvolio 'accidentally' grabs Mercutio in a very unfortunate place, and Mercutio 'accidentally' turns Benvolio onto his front. Before anything illicit can happen, a very startled messenger arrives.

MESSENGER: I come bearing a message for one Romeo Montague!

BENVOLIO: We'll take it. He didn't come back last night.

Messenger leaves, climbs awkwardly onto his horse, and gallops away.

MERCUTIO: What does it say?

BENVOLIO: i challenge u 2 a duel, xTybaltx. P.S. Benvolio, wanna get sum pizza w me nxt Tuesday?

MERCUTIO: Tybalt is going to own Romeo! I can't wait to see his hands all over Romeo's body, their massive swords dripping with sweat, [CENSORED]

BENVOLIO: Ooh! I have a date! What should I wear?

MERCUTIO: How about tights and a mini dress, like the rest of us?

AUTHOR: Yeah, so not gay.

BENVOLIO: I know! Tybalt's legs are to die for!

MERCUTIO: Not to mention his gorgeous eyes, his sexy voice, his long, dark hair…

BENVOLIO: And his sweet ass…

MERCUTIO: Why do you like Tybalt so much?

BENVOLIO: I don't know, why do you like Tybalt so much?

MERCUTIO: I'm not gay, okay!

BENVOLIO: But we just-

MERCUTIO: No. That meant nothing!

BENVOLIO: But I thought what we had was special!

Romeo enters, smelling strongly of ye olde weede. Benvolio proceeds to cry in a corner.

MERCUTIO: Where did you get to last night, young man?

ROMEO: I was out a-courting!

MERCUTIO: Then why do you smell like ye olde weede?

ROMEO: Because I am getting married on the morrow!

MERCUTIO: To whom? Benvolio?

ROMEO: No way, the person I'm marrying is much younger…

BENVOLIO: Traitorous paedophile!

ROMEO: But I love her!

MERCUTIO: 'Her'? But we all thought-!

ROMEO: Just because a guy likes to wear tights and get blowjobs from another very attractive man and go to all-male brothels and-

MERCUTIO: You have just proved you're gay!

ROMEO: No I'm not!

BENVOLIO: Romeo, I believe it's time you came out of the closet.

ROMEO: What?

MERCUTIO: You aren't fooling any of us. Just say it and get over it already.

BENVOLIO: Then maybe we can get down to business…

Nurse, who had been standing just outside the door for the last few minutes, bursts in at this point.

NURSE: Romeo! You had better not be playing my beloved Juliet!

ROMEO: Of course not! I love her, and her pre-pubescent body!

NURSE: Okay, that's good enough for me.

ROMEO: Can you get her to see Friar Lawrence tomorrow?

NURSE: The stoner?

ROMEO: Yep, that's the one. She should go to confession before she marries me.

NURSE: Sure. I'll think of a way for you to sneak into her room as well, if you like.

ROMEO: Thanks! Now I'm off to bang Benvolio!

BENVOLIO: Yey!

NURSE: I'M LEAVING NOW.

AUTHOR: And this is the guy who is supposedly not gay?
