Benvolio: I do not know, Sir. Lately he
has avoided talking to me.
Benvolio: Here he comes. Please, sir,
stand aside, and I will try to find out
what is on his mind.
Benvolio: Good morning, cousin.
Benvolio: It is only nine o’clock.
Benvolio: Tell me, what has happened?
Benvolio: Are you in love, by any
chance?
Benvolio: And who is it?
Benvolio: *Laughs* So far, so good!
Benvolio: Ah! The more beautiful the
objective is, the stronger the attraction.
Benvolio: Listen to me – Forget her.
Benvolio: Simple. Look at other
women, a bigger fire burns a little fire.
Benvolio: Come on!
Benvolio: Ah! Good morning, Mercutio.
Benvolio: He had a fight with Cupid.
Benvolio: The most famous beauties of
Verona will come to the party. So let us
go.
Benvolio: Come on! You believe she is
so beautiful, because you have not
seen her among the others.
Benvolio: Argh!
--BALL--
Benvolio: Let us go in; once inside we
can dance and mix with the others.
Benvolio: When you see the other
women you will want to dance.
Benvolio: Come on, let us go!
Benvolio: Romeo, come.
Benvolio: I do not know. I’ve not seen
her before.
Benvolio: I told you, a bigger fire burns
a little fire. *walks* I am off to find
Mercutio.
--Balcony Scene--
Benvolio: Romeo! Romeo, my cousin
Romeo! Romeo!
Benvolio: Romeo!
Benvolio: Did you see how Tybalt
stared at Romeo? I think he
recognised him.
Benvolio: Call him again, Mercutio.
Benvolio: Finished?
Benvolio: Come on, no sign of Romeo.
Benvolio: This way!
morning, I saw Tybalt round here.
Benvolio: I think Romeo is strong
enough to confront him
Benvolio: Who is this Tybalt
Benvolio: Here comes our Romeo.
Benvolio: How are you, Sir Romeo?
Benvolio: What?
Benvolio: Indeed, I have not yet heard
the name of Rosaline
Benvolio: Rosalineee
Benvolio: ARGHH!
Benvolio: See you later, Romeo.
Benvolio: Mercutio, retreat. It is very
hot because the Capulets are around.
If we meet, we shall not be able to
avoid a fight.
Benvolio: Tybalt is here.
Benvolio: *Stops Mercutio* It is not
wise to fight here. *Tybalt tries to
attack* *Romeo arrives* There are
people who may see us.
Benvolio: Oh, Mercutio! Are you hurt?
Benvolio: Come on.
Benvolio: Romeo, Mercutio, has just
died.
Benvolio: Romeo! Romeo, go away,
run away. People are coming, and
Tybalt. Tybalt is dead. Do not stay
there dazed. They will sentence you to
death if you are captured, now go!
Benvolio: Your wife? What are you
saying? Explain to me later! Now go!
Benvolio: Forgive me, Romeo. I bring
you terrible news, Juliet, is dead. They
took her to the Capulet’s family crypt. I
ran here from Verona to tell you.
Benvolio: Yes.
Benvolio: *stops him* No, calm down.
You are overcome and will only
complicate matters.
Benvolio: No, please!
Benvolio: As soon as I knew about
Juliet. I ran immediately to you.
