It's sad, love looks like a nice thing, but it is rough when you actually experience it.
What is it Romeo? Why do you look so sad?
I love Rosaline, but she doesn't love me
Count Paris asks Capulet if he had permission to marry Juliet. Capulet asks if Paris would wait two years since Juliet was only 13. He also invites Paris to his party, and gives his servant party invitations, but he can not read.
Hand out invitations my servant!
You may, but can you wait two years? She is only thirteen. Would like to come to my party I am hosting?
Good afternoon Lord Capulet, I was wondering if I had permission to marry your daughter.
Lord Capulet's servant calls for help to read the invitations, and Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio decide that they were going to go to the party to lighten the spirits of Romeo. It is a masked party, so no one will realize they are Montagues.
Can anybody help me read this invitation list?
Romeo this party will cheer you up!
It is a masked party so the Capulets will not recognize us.
Nice to meet you, I am Juliet.

Hello my name is Romeo.
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny they father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized. Henceforth I never will be Romeo
