    III – Krypton’s Romeo and Juliet Script

    The Prologue:

    <Enter> Chorus (Narrator).

    Two households both alike in dignity in fair Verona,


    Where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to
    new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands
    unclean, From forth the fatal loins of these two
    foes, A pair of star crossed lovers take their life,
    Whose misadventured piteous overthrows doth with
    their death, Bury their parents strife. The fearful
    passage of their death marked love, And the
    continuance of their parents rage, Which but their
    children's end not could remove, Is now the two hours
    traffic of our stage.

    <Chorus Exits.>

    Act 1

    Scene 1

    <Enter Sampson and Gregory, with swords and bucklers, of the house of
    Capulet.>

    SAMPSON: A dog of the house of Capulet moves me!

    BENVOLIO: The quarrel is between our masters.

    GREGORY: And us their men.

    SAMPSON: Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. And I am a pretty piece of flesh, I
    am a pretty piece of Flesh! Here comes of the house of Capulet!
    GREGORY: Quarrel, I will back thee.

    ABRAM: Boo! Ah, ha ha. Ooh. Boo! Ha ha ha.

    SAMPSON: I will bite my thumb at them; which is a disgrace to


    them, if they bear it.

    ABRAM: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

    SAMPSON: I do bite my thumb, sir!

    ABRAHAM: Do you bite your thumb at us? Sir.

    SAMPSON [Aside to GREGORY]: Is the law on our side, if I say ay?

    GREGORY: No!

    SAMPSON: No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I


    bite my thumb, sir.

    GREGORY: Do you quarrel, sir?

    ABRAM: Quarrel sir! no, sir.

    SAMPSON: If you do, sir, I am for you. I serve as good a man


    as you.

    ABRAM: No better?

    SAMPSON: Uh? Uh?

    GREGORY: Here comes our kinsmen say better!

    SAMPSON: Yes, sir better.

    ABRAM: You lie. Draw, if you be men.

    BENVOLIO: Part, fools! you know not what you do. Put up your
    swords.
    TYBALT: What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee,
    Benvolio, look upon thy death.

    BENVOLIO: I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, Or manage it to part
    these men with me.

    TYBALT: Peace. Peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and
    thee.

    MONTAGUE: Give me my long sword, ho!

    LADY MONTAGUE: Thou shalt not stir a foot to seek a foe.

    PRINCE: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Throw your mistemper'd


    weapons to the ground! Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word, By thee, old
    Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets, If ever
    you disturb our streets again, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.

    LADY MONTAGUE: O, where is Romeo? saw you him to-day? Right glad I
    am he was not at this fray.

    BENVOLIO: Madam, underneath a grove of sycamore so early walking did I


    see your son.

    MONTAGUE: Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears


    augmenting the fresh morning dew.

    LADY MONTAGUE: Away from the light steals home my heavy son, And
    private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight
    out And makes himself an artificial night.

    MONTAGUE: Black and portentous must this humour prove, Unless good
    counsel may the cause remove.

    BENVOLIO: So please you, step aside; I'll know his grievance, or be much
    denied.

    MONTAGUE: Come, madam, let's away.
