Benvolio and Mercutio squabble in the streets as Mercutio trys to explain to him how he lets his anger get the best of him especially with Capulets in the streets.
I pray thee good Mercutio, let's retire. The day is hot: the Capulets abroad. And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl. For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.
Thou art like one of those fellows that, when he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says "God send me no need of thee!" and, by the operation of the second cup, drawsi it on the drawer when indeed there is no need.

Tybalt arrives in the square and attempts to start a brawl with Mercutio and Benvolio but they refuse knowing the Prince's prior threat. Tybalt begins to question where Romeo is wanting to brawl with him aswell.
Where is Romeo? i would like a word.
We don't know. You better move along, we can't fight anymore.
Romeo arrives in the square, Tybalt expresses his hatred and wants to fight with Romeo. Romeo tries to express that he could never hurt him and will never hurt him.
Well, peace be with you sir. Here comes my man.
Tybalt, the reason that i have to love thee, doth much excuse the appertaining rage.
But i'll be hanged, sir, if he wear your livery. Marry, go before to field, he'll be your follower. Your worship in that sense may call him "man".
Tybalt draws his sword!
Tybalt continues to anger Mercutio, when Tybalt draws his sword Mercutio does the same! Romeo and Benvolio draw theirs to try and stop the battle. It is of no help and Mercutio is stabbed.
I am for you.
Draw Benvolio, Beat down their weapons. Gentlemen, for shame! Forbear this outrage.
O calm dishonourable, vile submission! Alla stoccata carries it away.
Romeo seeks vengeance for Mercutio. He finds Tybalt and they battle to the death. Tybalt is killed and Romeo now fears for his life knowing the prince will hear of this.
Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here Shall with him hence.
to heaven, respective lenity and fired eye fury be my conduct now. Now Tybalt, take the "villan" bck again. That late thou gavest me, for Mercutios soul. Is but a little way above our heads. Staying for thine to keep him company. Either thou or I, or both, must go with him.
After the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt the prince arrives in town to declare the punishments of these actions between the familles. Benvolio tries to save Romeo but it doesn't succeed. Romeo isn't executed however he is exiled from verona.
Tybalt, my cousin! O my brothers child! O Prince! O Cousin! Husband! Oh, the blood is spilled. of my dear kinsmen. Prince, as thou art true. For blood of ours shed blood of Montaue.
Tybalt here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay. Romeo, that spoke him fair, bade him bethink. How nice the quarrel was and urged withal your high displeasure.
And for that offence immediately we do exile him hence.
