Lady Capulet
Okay, sweetie! Get some rest. 
Love, Mom.
desperate times call for desperate measures. 
i can’t risk marrying paris tomorrow. i have to drink from the vial tonight. but i’m scared. what if it’s too strong and it kills me? 
but i can trust friar laurence, right? he wouldn’t do that to me. but what if he’s wrong about the timing? 
what if i wake up too early? what if i suffocate in the tomb full of my family’s ghosts?? 
it’ll be dark and scary. i guess i’ll bring a dagger just in case. 
ugh. tybalt, romeo, i drink to you both.

Ooh, we’re so close to being ready! 
Nurse, we need some more spices for the food. Love, LC.
Nurse
Sure thing. We need more 
too.
Capulet
Hurry, everyone! We don’t have much time left. We need more 
too!
Nurse
What ya need is to get some sleep, mister. You’ve been up all night. You’re gonna end up sick! 
Capulet
Psh! I’ve stayed up longer for less important things before and have never gotten sick. 
Lady Capulet
She’s right, dear. You really should rest up. Love, LC.
Capulet
Nonsense. Nurse, make yourself useful and go wake Juliet. 
It’s almost time. I’ll go get Paris. 
This is so exciting!

Yoo-hoo! Hey, J. Time to wake up, girl. 
Ya up yet? Ya get enough beauty rest? 
Girl, srsly. It’s time to get up.

Nurse
I guess some people sleep in the same clothes they wore yesterday. Nasty!
