(3rd person P.O.V)
“Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo? Forget about your father and change your name. Or else, if you won’t change your name, just swear you love me and I’ll stop being a Capulet,” Juliet said to herself while looking at the moon still not knowing that
“Should I listen for more, or should I speak now?” Reome asks himself while looking at her.
“It’s only your name that’s my enemy. You’d still be yourself even if you stopped being a Montague. What’s a Montague anyway? It isn’t a hand, a foot, an arm, a face, or any other part of a man. Oh, be some other name! What does a name mean? The thing we call a rose would smell just as sweet if we called it by any other name. Romeo would be just as perfect even if he wasn’t called Romeo. Romeo, lose your name. Trade in your name—which really has nothing to do with you—and take all of me in exchange,” Juliet said still not knowing that Reome was looking at her.
“I trust your words. Just call me your love, and I will take a new name. From now on I will never be Romeo again,” Romeo said to her.
“Who are you? Why do you hide in the darkness and listen to my private thoughts?” Juliet asks startled by his voice and looks down at him.
“I don’t know how to tell you who I am by telling you a name. I hate my name, dear saint because my name is your enemy. If I had it written down, I would tear up the paper,” Romeo said to her while looking up at her.
“I haven’t met you for 5 years but I recognize your voice. Aren’t you Romeo? And aren’t you a Montague?” Juliet asks her.
“I am neither of those things if you dislike them.”
“Tell me, how did you get in here? And why did you come? The orchard walls are high, and it’s hard to climb over them. If any of my relatives find you here they’ll kill you because of who you are.”
“I flew over these walls with the light wings of love. Stone walls can’t keep love out. Whatever a man in love can possibly do, his love will make him try to do it. Therefore your relatives are no obstacle.” Romeo said while climbing over the pipe in her house, making the audience laugh and seeing him having trouble while climbing over the pipe.
“If they see you, they’ll murder you,” Juliet said worriedly.
“Alas, one angry look from you would be worse than twenty of your security guard with guns. Just look at me kindly, and I’m invincible against their hatred,” Romeo look said looking at her and resuming climbing the pipe.
“I’d give anything to keep them from seeing you here,” Juliet said with love in her eyes.
“The darkness will hide me from them. And if you don’t love me, let them find me here. I’d rather they killed me than have to live without your love,” Romeo said climbing over the edge of the balcony.
“Who told you how to get below my balcony without getting noticed by the security guards,” Juliet asks helping him to get over the balcony.
“The darkness will hide me from them. And if you don’t love me, let them find me here. I’d rather they killed me than have to live without your love,” Romeo said getting inside the balcony and taking Juliet in his arms.
“You can’t see my face because it’s dark out. Otherwise, you’d see me blushing about the things you’ve heard me say tonight. I would be happy to keep up with good manners and deny the things I said. But forget about good manners. Do you love me? I know you’ll say “yes,” and I’ll believe you. But if you swear you love me, you might turn out to be lying. They say Jove laughs when lovers lie to each other. Oh Romeo, if you really love me, say it truly. Or if you think it’s too easy and quick to win my heart, I’ll frown and play hard-to-get, as long as that will make you try to win me, but otherwise, I wouldn’t act that way for anything. In truth, handsome Montague, I like you too much, so you may think my behavior is loose. But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove myself more faithful than girls who act coy and play hard-to-get. I should have been more standoffish, I confess, but you overheard me talking about the love in my heart when I didn’t know you were there. So excuse me, and do not assume that because you made me love you so easily my love isn’t serious,” Juliet said, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Lady, I swear by the sacred moon above, the moon that paints the tops of fruit trees with silver—,” Romeo said wiping a lone tear which has fallen down from her face, but Juliet cuts him off.
“Don’t swear by the moon. The moon is always changing. Every month its position in the sky shifts. I don’t want you to turn out to be that inconsistent too,” Juliet said cutting him off.
“What should I swear by?” Romeo asks her.
“Don’t swear at all. But if you have to swear, swear by your wonderful self, which is the god I worship like an idol, and then I’ll believe you,” Juliet said smiling at her. Romeo opens his mouth to say something but Juliet beat him to it.
“Well, don’t swear. Although you bring me joy, I can’t take joy in this exchange of promises tonight. It’s too crazy. We haven’t done enough thinking. It’s too sudden. It’s too much like lightning, which flashes and then disappears before you can say, “it’s lightning.” My sweet, good night. Our love, which right now is like a flower bud in the summer air, may turn out to be a beautiful flower by the next time we meet. I hope you enjoy the same sweet peace and rest I feel in my heart,” Juliet said to him.
