Juliet
there must be something you can do. plz? otherwise i’m going to solve this the only way i know how…. 
i’d rather die than marry paris.
Friar Laurence
Stop! Killing yourself is a little drastic. —FL
But drastic might be what we need right now. —FL
Juliet
anything! just tell me the plan. 
Friar Laurence
Here’s the deal: Go to your 
and tell everyone that you’re happy to marry Paris. Tomorrow is Wednesday, so make sure you’re alone tomorrow night. 
Don’t let anyone stay with you, not even your nurse. —FL
I’m sending you a vial. —FL
When you’re in bed, mix the contents of the vial and drink it. —FL
The potion will make it look like you’re dead, but you’ll actually just sleep for about forty-two hours. 
When they discover you in the morning, they’ll prepare you for burial in your family’s tomb. Meanwhile, I’ll send Romeo 
there to wait for you to wake up. Sound good? —FL
Juliet
yes! i’m ready. 
love will get me through this. 
[Scene 2]

i’m so sorry. i realize that i’ve been acting selfish. 
from now on, i’m going to do whatever you say. i promise.

Capulet
You mean it? This is great news!
In that case, let’s move the wedding up to tomorrow! 
Bless Friar Laurence for talking some sense into you.
Juliet

ttyl.
Capulet
Great news, dear! Juliet is finally listening to us. I’m going to move the wedding up to tomorrow. 
Lady Capulet
Tomorrow, really? But how will we ever have everything ready by then? Love, LC.
Capulet
Don’t worry about a thing. I’ve got it all figured out.
Go get some sleep. I’m going to find Paris and tell him the good news. I can’t wait! 
[Scene 3]
Lady Capulet
Juliet, honey, do you need help picking out your clothes? Love, Mom.
Juliet
