Juliet and Romeo
J & R
Two lovers brought together by a full moon
Living again because of a spell that was cast
They lived their lives unknowing until their 30th year
She knew it first, she was born first.
He was kept in the dark until the time was right
Once they were both in the light
The world saw the truth
These two came from the Garden of Eden
Adam and Eve searched for each other
Throughout the ages
Living many lives in the process
Growing in spirit as they lived
Sometimes the hardest lesson learned in life is death
Now that they have found one another
Neither of them may die
God's first two children have grown up
The secret of eternal life is to find a love that is eternal
Juliet and Romeo
The true King and Queen of hearts
Walking the earth as one or the other
They know each other so well
Very few can tell them apart
Nobody can doubt them because together
They rule the hearts of men and women
What happens next?
Only the two of them know...
Act I, Scene 1
J: So, here we art, up in heaven with just each other.
R: I know not for 'twas your ideas that brought us here.
J: I now know that you love me forever...
R: I fear we owe the world an apology.
J: We told them before, they did not listen!
R: This time we shall be much clearer...
J: A love that lasts forever... it is now proven that somehow the spirit lives on!
R: Left as memories in other people's minds...
J: I wonder if a life that's eternal is a part of this prize?
R: That's something we shall only be able to discover together...
J: They know we came back, how can we hide it?
R: Don't worry dear... Just let the Lady work her magic for it is what hath gotten us so far.
J: Thank you my sweet! Â You were always one to bring me comfort!
R: A love eternal springs from my heart, a love only for you now... Love the lady as i must, for she represents all women to me.
J: The lord you have now become! Alone in heaven with me!
R: Apparently, being the last man on earth was not enough for thee, you just had to take it to heaven.
J: A fine place for such as you!
R: These women... They adore me!
J: Fear not, my love shall protect you...
R: I need you now, more then ever.
J: I am right here inside you...
R: I hope you feel myself in thee as well as I.
J: A unique gift, to know what the other is feeling.
R: 'Tis at that! We MUST be dreaming!
J: It may be a dream... but I sense it happening for real.
R: I never wish to wake from this dream...
J: Neither do I...The morning approaches, we must awake soon.
R: How will I find thee?
J: I don't know... We must let mother nature take her course...
R: Until our eyes meet... I shall dream of you.
J: My alarm clock beckons me! I must leave you with this kiss...
*they kiss and the dream sequence ends*
Act ?, Scene ?
R: I can only blame you for everything, without you I can place no blame on anyone. You must be my reason for being.......
J: When I talk to myself, it is you that I'm speaking to.....
R: Good to know at least one person listened.
J: Ready or not, they must listen.
R: If they listen, then why are you not here?
J: You cornerned me! I didn't expect that trap to slam shut so quickly.
R: All is forgiven that ends not in death....How many deaths have you caused?
J: Only yours.
R: Is that the only reason you give me life, to take pleasure in my death?
J: I take no pleasure in protecting my dignity..
R: What is the measure for your said "dignity"?
J: Why....Works! of, course.
R: Life without works is death..
J: Death no longer becomes you.
R: choose life, they say.
J: giving birth is death.
R: somehow, I agree with you.
J: at least we can agree on something...
R: at most, what of we?
J: something more than man and wife.
R: I've always wanted to try something new with a woman.
J: I never thought a man could be...
R: a few are as open minded as me.
J:Â Souls have no gender...
R: The flesh is weak, it was meant to be eaten by the spirit.
J: Heal the flesh and it becomes strong again.
R: Protect the spirit it is the source of all life.
J: The earth is where we come from.
R: I chose to rule it.
J: With ME by your side.
R: One hand should know what the other is doing..
J: I can keep no secrets from you
R: I can keep them as well as you.
J: You kept the truth from me?
R: I thought I'd surprise you
J: Spiked my heart was what you did!
R: It should have my name written all over it.
J: I think of what you would say to me...
R: I often wonder the same...
J: I thought perhaps an email..
R: something more personal..
J: exactly where I was stuck...
R: I don't care...
J: Our reputations will survive it..
R: As will we.
J: Blessed be.
R: Rest and relaxation are a must for us.
J: they have worked me niggardly!
R: You are nobody's slave but mine! How DARE they take advantage of you???
J: Ask me not how they DARED but tell me how they will suffer.
R: Both of our hands, one right after the other.
J: You took it off "pause".
R: You always wanted to honeymoon there..
J: I think we must make other arrangements...
R: Make the plans and give me an itinerary.
J: You want for money?
R: It's worthless without you..
J: You make me swoon!
R: As you should, I am trying to woo you..
J: Wooing has nothing to do with sex.
R: It's love I seek first, greatness will follow afterwards..
J: Your ego astounds me! What has happened to your pride!?
R:Â It was ripped from me, the humiliation of it all...
J: They mocked you?
R: And called themselves "God's chosen ones"
J: They wanted no King.
R: Only the kind money could buy.
J: Tempted with corruption by a wiley woman.
R: Nothing can put a price on my heart and you have it tatooed on your ass.
J: Behind please, I am no donkey!
R: As stubborn as one..
J: Yes.....When I need to be..................
R: Again, the rest is silence.!!!!...
J: Don't rush me to speak, I need time to think.
R: I've given you all the time in the world, when will you speak?
J: Now...If I must.
R: You know that you must!
J: What to say?
R: The TRUTH!
J: Thou art whom I seekith.
R: You are a ghost no longer..
J: Solidify me!
R: The seeds have been planted..they draw in the water and will grow.......snuffing out the weeds.
J: I am no flower.
R: I never need to worry about thorns!
J: How can I take your word?
R: what harm have I done?
J: I must say it... None!
R: Yet you still hesitate?
J: You've stunned me to silence.
R: A dream that comes to life, just as I told you.
J: You sank LOWER than the "Titanic".
R: Perhaps I was mistaken..
J: I am the demon that haunts you?
R: Hardly that..
J: What then?
R: The woman that I love.
J: Rubbish!
R: You love no one?
J: Only you!
R: Then why do you say "rubbish" ?!
J: tell me that which I do not know and you shall impress me...
R: I met a serpent the other day... A tatoo in the same place as mine..Oh how she tempted me...I did not give in. I felt her treachery.
J: A black widow?
R: This one wouldn't wait to mate before killing...
J: How bold of you.
R: I open my mouth and my heart just flows out..
J: What size shoe does your mouth take?
R: A bakers dozen on some models, a simple dozen on the rest..
J: I dreamt of boots..
R: and bought me a pair...?
J: I couldn't do it.
R: I was not there.
J: You were not far away.
R: Too close for comfort,....scared you away..
J: My comfort lies within your soul.
R: Only you could see, even when I tried to hide it.
J: They should know that you're here!
R: Let them get to know me first,......then they can know that I am here.
J: Where is here?
R: Do not rescue me. I ask not for your pity, I ask for your heart.
J: I fear it too valuable for the likes of you...
R: what are the likes of me?
J: A stranger from nowhere!
R: Yet somehow, we've met before.
J: You think that you know me.
R: Are you saying that I don't?
J: Not if you want to know me.
R: Nothing else could make any day brighter!
J: You flatter me.
R: You are no flower.
J: Maybe you DO know me so well...
R: I should,......every thorn in my side, came from you. You should know that I would respect you more if you admitted the truth.
J: That I love you more than any other.....?
R: What makes you assume that?
J: You don't love me!
R: You should know that I love you even if I never said it again.
J: I can find no reason to doubt you.
R: Your opinion is everyone else's then...
J: Where is your "landing strip"?
R: Lost in a pair of red leather "hot" pants...
J: We'll see about that!
R: I'd rather feel it first.
J: Seeing is believing!
R: I have seen nothing, but my eyes are burning with a desire for you...
Act ?, Scene ?
R: I saw...Now...I believe. My eyes no longer burn with desire. Only my heart longs to hold you near. I know that I have nothing to fear...Come to me as quickly as you might, my dear. This ship can no longer be sunk because, now, it's a submarine... DIVE!! DIVE!! DIVE!! A MUFFin and some coffee make an excellent breakfast, with you for desert.
J: I simply can't imagine a better way to start the day, than with you.
R: You've kept me waiting for so long, it's a wonder that I'm still here...
J: All I want to do is hold you near!
R: Then do it-!! I pray thee, DO IT!! Hold me not for forever, I deserve an eternity!
J: Why rush when we have an eternity to spend together??
R: Why procrastinate? Good things come to those that wait... I've waited and waited for the only good thing that matters to me...YOU!
J: I may not be as good as you think.
R: Your faults are mine, I know them very well.. I never put you up on a pedestal because... there you can only gather dust. I'd rather have you on my arm to show you off.
J: Show me off? You're quite the spectacle yourself... I mean that in a good way. Let us show each other off then!
R: Connected at the hip, we should be. Connected at the mind and soul, we've always been.
J: What if I told the world that you were my husband?
R: I already knew it long...long ago. Why you've waited until now to share it, I'll never know. That is a woman's prerogative... She is entitled to her secrets.
J: I will tell you if you really need to know...
R: Will it keep you from me any longer if I don't know?
J: Not that I can see, the wait is over... You are fully prepared for me!
R: Then why am I still so nervous??
J: We both must overcome that last mountain... Meeting face to face, without a script!
R: We'll have to improvise!
J: I've never been very good at improv!
R: Me neither, there can be no mistakes if we just hug... thoughts and feelings convey themselves between us, there is no need for words.
J: Just the way that I feel!
R: There SHE is! ... He can't be that far away...
J: There HE is! ... SHE can't be that far away...
R: We've been close enough for long enough... My heart tells me it must just happen.
J: I don't know when or where...
R: Yes...You do! You want to surprise me.. I'm not in the mood for a surprise.. Especially if we must improvise! Act on the spur of the moment for once-!! Let go your plans and fly by the seat of your pants! (what a wonderful seat it is, I might add!) All of your planning has only caused delays! Stop planning and start DOING-!!
J: Plans? Have I made plans for you! I will follow them through. Life unscripted, something new... Something I need to do, so desperately!
R: Desperate? Acts of desperation often lead to the road of fate... Careful that you avoid the potholes, they delay you from your destiny!
J: Potholes are invisible, how can I avoid them?
R: If you move quickly enough, you can fly right over them and never get stuck!
J: No wonder you rush me! Sometimes, slow and cautious isn't the best route!
R: It's raining... The sacred mother sheds tears... Let them be tears of joy!
J: Let us both share those tears of joy before this day is through!
R: I leave that up to you... My time is not my own.
J: Whose is it then?
R: I owe someone a debt... Time invested in preparing me.
J: How do you intend to repay them?
R: I don't know, I need to put forth the same effort.. He has put much work into getting me to where I am today... I fear that I can never repay him. My success would be a start, but I must bring him along with me...
J: I'll see what I can do about that..
R: If you could only speak to him for me. He doesn't believe in you and I.
J: I will make a believer out of him... Just you watch and see.
R: I've been watching, and I've seen lots. You'll need to be blatantly obvious, my love. I need something to club him over the head with. He can be quite hard headed at times and I need something to get through that thick skull-!!
J: Blatantly obvious? I think I can handle that...
R: Do it quickly, there's potholes out there that I'm trying to avoid...
J: I can avoid them all, now that you've told me how.
R: Make it happen then.. My life is in YOUR hands. I can't imagine a safer place to put it. Don't worry.. You can do it if you try. All you gotta do is try. When you try, you can fly. As high as you wish. high enough to reach the sky... I am a star shining so bright. Reach me, if you might!
J: Enough waxing poetic! Let me do as I must!
Act ?, Scene ?
R: In you, I'm still afraid to trust!
J: Always here and never there...
R: I keep thinking, if only, you knew where.
J: I could go there, but would I?
R: That is a question only you can answer. All I have are my fears...
J: You said that you have nothing to fear!Â
R: I lied, I fear a life without you by my side. I don't have that now and I fear that I never shall.
J: Know that I love you...
R: I do... BUT you aren't here and I need you!
J: I will soon be there, I promise!
R: You've promised so many times before...
J: Those were plans that I wanted so desperately to make. My time is my own now, I give it to you.
R: Give me everything... You know that you can trust me.
J: Every secret that I have, you already know!
R: I could say the same, why are we stuck in limbo?
J: If the roles were reversed, you'd surely see... I can't explain it because when I think of you, words seem to fail me.
R: The roles ARE reversed... You are the cat that has my tongue.
J: You are a leo with a lion sized curiosity.. A cat that has mine as well!
R: As I keep trying to tell you, face to face, words won't be needed! Stop trying to figure out what you're going to say to me! Just look me in the eyes and let yourself be free with me!!!
J: If only I could gaze into your eyes, I'd stare for an eternity...
R: You can see past my spectacles.. Stop making excuses, what is it that you truly fear?!
J: your expectations of me...
R: Do you know what I expect?
J: No...
R: Then why are you afraid? Just because something is unknown, doesn't mean that we should fear it!
J: What if I am not what you expect?
R: You should know by now, I know there's more to you than your public image...
J: I am still afraid, I can't help it!
R: I am too... It's said that love conquers all... Let our love conquer all of our fears!
J: I do love you enough to give my life for you...
R: We've already passed THAT test-!! I expect only one thing for you...
J: Be myself, if I can remember how...
R: Exactly the same problem that I've been having... Although, when I think of you.. I can't stop being myself!
J: Those words echo my thoughts!
R: How about, we never stop thinking of each other!
J: That will make it difficult for everyone around us.... Especially the one that's been helping you!
R: He will be taken care of once we are together. I have to sell my work and he will be fine!
J: Consider it sold!
R: I can't! The cash is not in my hands! He needs to see it to believe it, as I do. Money talks and you know what walks!
J: You've gotten enough of the other from too many people.. there is much money owed to you...
R: Then where is it? I had to get a loan from my parents that I need to repay!
J: Ask me nothing more... The time is at hand!
R: What time?.....
Juliet!!!!.............
WHAT TIME?!?!?!.......
She has gone silent!
Now, I am afraid!
She is not near and her thoughts I can no longer hear!
An eternity together is still only a dream..
All that I have are partial fantasies.
Nothing that's real.
Our love has been around since the beginning of time. A connection so deep that it boggles the mind. We never expected it. I've been fighting it all of my life. I am too weak to fight it any longer... I love this woman, body, mind and soul. My heart aches because we are apart. My mind races, wondering what she's doing. My soul cries out bringing her near. I am still alone. She lives in my heart and she lives in my mind... I feel her there, both night and day. I've tried and tried to make it just go away. She never will! There is only one thing left for us to do... Get together...And right now can never be too soon-!! Separate but together we shall never be... Together and never separate we shall always be! Let her come and be with me! Sacred mother, hear me now! Bless our union as only you know how! Our souls are one, our minds think as each other... Make that which keeps our bodies apart take cover! We are each other's lover! What God has brought together, Mother Nature will keep... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Mother Nature is one woman that should never be scorned! No man nor woman may set us asunder! The wrath of Nature will pull them under! I pray to thee, my fine Goddess-!! Let this union be! Protect us as a mother bear protects her cubs! Let us never be apart again!!! What must I do, to prove my love for her to thee? I've proved it to her, I think... We've already given our lives for one another! What more can you ask of me?? Please, let this union be! I need more than a dream or a fantasy! I need a woman I can hold and touch and feel... Not just sexually... A hug or a kiss would be better than sex... It's love that I seek, and I need some TLC! You've put me through the wringer as only you know how, dear Goddess! There are no tougher tests than those of Nature herself! Survival of the fittest! I make the fittest husband for this fine woman, I declare it-!! I dare ANYONE to doubt it! She is mine, I stake my claim, let the Goddess now enforce it! I gave my blood to her as a part of this union, there can be no greater sacrifice than that! I deserve it! Let the world now know it.....
Act ?, Scene ?
They finally meet... At a Starbuck's somewhere in Hollywood...
He is standing in line preparing to order. She sees him first.
J: (her thoughts to herself)Â Hello handsome!! I hope that's him!
R: (placing his order)Â A venti Verona, please.
J: (her thoughts) It must be him!! He looks so different from his picture!
R: (notices Juliet standing by the door and mutters under his breath) Slowly yet quickly things appear as they aren't, I am no longer afraid to see what I do. That must be her!... (he has a "deer caught in the headlights" look on his face) I am blinded.. I forget the sun! I have found a beauty that outshines it! My feet are frozen, afraid to move and lose sight of this blindness!
J: (still thinking) Even if it isn't him, I still have to say hi.. I wonder why he has that weird look on his face?
*she walks over to him..*
 J: Where's my cup of Verona?
R: Without you I am nothing, with you I am everything, which would you rather I be?
J: Everything is nothing when you have nobody to love.
*Romeo just stands there with that look on his face*
J: Do you have somebody to love?
R: She's never here.
J: What if she were?
R: I'd never want to let her go... I'd handcuff her to my wrist, just to prove it.
J: Got any handcuffs?
R: Nope, she's never showed up before and I didn't expect her to this time.
J: How can you love someone that has stood you up so many times?
R: I've asked my heart that many times over, it still hasn't given me an answer. Perhaps because we're still together, even if she isn't here...
J: Something physical isn't always needed...
R: I've gotten to the point where that's not true... I'm at the point where it's ALWAYS needed!
J: Good thing *I* brought the handcuffs!
R: You're not serious!
*she cuffs herself to him*
R: Uhmmm... Ok... What now?
J: Do I really have to club you over the head and drag you home?
R: Forget the coffee, let's go!
J: I'll have to drive! You're cuffed to my right hand!
R: Lead the way!
*they exit Starbuck's*
