Act II Scene iii

Friar Laurence's Cell

(Enter Friar alone picking flowers)

Friar- Oooooh! Look at all the pretty flowers! (starts hauling in 'flowers') Igor! Bring me those Foxgloves and Black-Eyed Susans! (malicious laughter- thunder and lightning)

(Enter Romeo)

Romeo- (still singing- stubs toe on rock) Ow, ow! Errr… Good morning, father!

Friar- (lightning and thunder stops) Benedicite! What are you doing here?

Romeo- I'm gonna get married!

Friar- (raises eyebrows) Really? When was the last time you said that? (thinks) Oh yes, yesterday.

Romeo- I'm in LOVE! (sings)

Friar- Yeah, whatever. What happened to Rosaline? Weren't you just pining over her?

Romeo- Nahh, Rosaline is as good as dead to me! I'm in love with… Juliet!

Friar- (sarcastically) Really? Wonder how long that'll last.

Romeo- I thought you didn't want me loving Rosaline.

Friar- I don't want you loving anyone. (aside) Maybe I could use him for an experiment.

Romeo- Oh fine, but I want to marry Juliet NOW!

Friar- Ok. I'll do it.

Romeo- Yesss! Yes, yes, yes! Be ready by tomorrow, ok?

Friar- Ok, I'll do it.
