[Applause] Hey,
Two households,
both alike in dignity, in fair Verona,
where we lay our scene. From ancient
grudge, break to new mutiny, where civil
blood makes civil hands unclean. And so
the prince has called a tournament to
keep the battle from the city streets.
Now rival capulates and Montus, they try
We here declare Marushio from the house
of Montigue our champion. And so I bid

And here's the sentence of your angry

of our streets.
If ever you disturb our town again, your
lives will pay the price for the offense.

You copy it. You go along with me.
And Montigue come this afternoon.

make them short.

Love is a harsh tyrant where he rules.

My child is still a stranger to this
world. Let two more summers wither in
their pride before we judge her right to
be a wife.

the hopeful lady of my earth.
But woo her, gentle Paris, win her

of her birth as if to yesterday.
I remember too. One day when she did
fall and cut her brow, "My husband, rest
his soul," picked up the child. "Why do
you fall on your face," says he, "you
will fall backward when you have more
wit." And looking up at him, the child
said yes.

child could stop crying like that and

But I must say, you are the prettiest
babe I ever nursed to now. I could live
to see you wear red on my wish.

to talk about. Tell me, daughter, what
do you think of marriage?
