Behind the scenes:

Bishounen: I'm finally getting the big job I always wanted! Finally, I'm important!

NoV: Of course you are, dear. Go get me a cupcake.

Bishounen: Oh-kay!

Martina: Nova-chan! I demand to know why I have to play the part of a man!

NoV: It was common in Shakespeare's day. Think of it as tradition.

Martina: But I wanted to be Juliet!

NoV: Juliet has to kiss Xelloss.

Martina: Eww. Never mind!

Lina: About that kiss, I want everyone to realize that the kiss IS fake!!

Xelloss: (phases in) Of course, Lina-chan. If you say so.

Lina: You'd better not try anything funny!

Xelloss: ^.^

Lina: Grrrrr...

Amelia: Is Miss Lady Capulet a queen of Justice?

NoV: She isn't a queen at all.

Amelia: If she were a queen would she be a queen of Justice.

NoV: Interpret it the way you want.

Zelas: (phases in) Well, I'm sure that Lady Montague would be the best actress.

Amelia: No, she wouldn't! Miss Lady Capulet would! Because she has the power of Justice on her side!! And a husband.

Zelgadis: We're only pretend husband and wife. Remember that.

Amelia: Of course, Mr. Zelgadis.

Xelloss: I love you, Mommy! (glomp)

Zelas: Yes, yes. Don't suck up to me in public, dear.

Bishounen: (huff, huff) Here's your cupcake! (hands NoV a misshapen pastry smeared with multi-colored icing, and few hundred toothpicks sticking in it)

NoV: (takes the cupcake) Bish..where in the heck did you get this?

Bishounen: (smiles proudly) I made it all by myself!

NoV: Oh..well, it's lovely.

Bishounen: Isn't it?

Gaav: I have arrived.

NoV: Yes, you have.

Gaav: I shall bring fame from all over to this play!

Xelloss: I'm looking forward to killing you.

Gaav: And I'm looking forward to killing Hellmaster.

Phibby: Sweet lil ole me?

Xelloss: Hi Phibby, best buddy, Mercutio!

Phibby: Hiya best buddy, Romeo!

Filia: (walks in holding Val's hand) Come on, sweetie. We're here, everyone!

Xelloss: Yes. Hello overweight, obnoxious nurse.

Filia: Why you!! Val, honey, cover your eyes. (pulls out her mace, and swings and Xelloss with it) Come back here, you coward!!

Xelloss: (floats away) No thanks, Fi-chan! We stars like to keep our faces clean.

NoV: I knew he was gonna gloat. (sigh)

Val: (grabs NoV's collar) Shoot me.

NoV: If I did, then who would hit on Juliet?

Lina: What??

Val: (gulp)

Kopii: NoV? How are both of us gonna be the apothecary?

NoV: Well, if one of you are unable to perform, you'll have a back-up.

Rezo: You'd better back down now, Kopii. I'm playing the apothecary.

Kopii: As if! (blasts Rezo) If you're unable to perform, I get to take over.

Rezo: Like that'd ever happen. (blasts Kopii)

NoV: (ignores the brawl) Bish? Go get Zel some coffee. I think he needs it.

Amelia: (poking Zelgadis) Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis. Mr. Zelgadis.

Bishounen: Right! Be right back!

Sylphiel: We're here! Sorry we're late.

Gourry: (waves)

NoV: Where have you been?

Sylphiel: I had to fix my sweet, widdle Goo-chan's hair. It was sticking up funny.

Gourry: (hair plastered to his head with gel) She said it was getting in the way of my pretty face.

NoV: Now we're just waiting for Milgasia...

Milgasia: I've been here the whole time.

NoV: What??? No, you haven't!!

Milgasia: Just kidding.

NoV: -.-0 Are we all here and ready?

Minna: (various answers)

NoV: Oh-kay, it's just about time to get started. Let's do this.
