I’m so disappointed in you. 
I can’t believe we’re even related.
Nurse
Hey now! Ya shouldn’t say that to your own flesh and blood.
Capulet
You stay out of this! It’s none of your GD business.
Nurse
Oh, excuse me? 
I think I’m allowed to speak my mind.
Capulet
Save it for later. No one is interested in what you have to say.
Lady Capulet
Dear! I think you better watch your temper. You know what it does to your blood pressure. Love, LC.
Capulet
Well, dear, I’m angry! 
Paris is a perfect match for her. And either you marry him, Juliet, or you can forget you even have a family. I don’t care where you go or what happens to you. But you’re not welcome here. 
Choose wisely.

Juliet
this is so unfair! 
Lady Capulet
I’m sorry, but I agree with your father. It’s up to you to figure it out. Love, Mom.
Juliet
omg. nurse, what am i going to do?? 
romeo is out there and they want me to go through with this!
Nurse
Listen, girl. I know ya married Romeo. 
But he doesn’t even live here anymore. He’s as good as dead. Maybe you should look into Paris. 
At least you can actually, ya know, see him.
Juliet
you really mean that?
Nurse
Yeah, J. I do.
Juliet
i guess i see your point.
k, tell mom i’m going to friar laurence’s. i need to ask for major forgiveness. 
[Scene 1]
Paris
Thursday it is for the wedding! 
Friar Laurence
But that’s so soon. —FL
Paris
Capulet wants what he wants.
It’s Juliet, you see. She’s been crying nonstop over Tybalt’s death. 
Her father wants us to get married so she’ll be happy again.

Paris
Hey there, Juliet! Adding you to this convo, my wife. 
Juliet
we aren’t married, paris.
Friar Laurence
I should talk to Juliet. Paris, could you leave us alone? —FL
Paris
Of course. I don’t want to interfere.
See you on Thursday, my love. 
Juliet
oh, thank you for getting rid of him. father, i’m miserable!
Friar Laurence
I know, I know. I heard that nothing can stop what’s happening on Thursday.
