Storyboard Text
- Paris goes to Friar Lawrence's cell to ask him to marry him and Juliet on the upcoming Thursday. Juliet enters shortly after, and when Paris expresses his love she turns him down and responds very rudely.
- I would rather die than marry you!
- I’m happy to meet you, my lady and my wife. We are to be married on Thursday isn't that right Friar.
- On Thursday, sir? That’s very soon.
- Friar if you who are so wise can’t help, please be kind enough to call my solution wise.Unless you can tell me how to prevent this weddingI’ll solve the problem now with this knife.
- Hold on, daughter, I see some hope! If you’ve made up your mind to kill yourself instead of marrying Count Paris, then you’ll probably be willing to try something like death to solve this problem.Tell your father you consent to marrying Paris, and drink this potion Wednesday night before you sleep. It will make you appear dead for 42 hours. When you wake up, Romeo will rescue you and take you to Mantua with him.
- I am overflowing with joy that you have finally come to your senses. The wedding shall now be on Thursday!
- Please forgive me father for not listening to you. I will happily marry Paris!
- Go and prepare servants. Quickly, quickly!
- What if this potion does not work, what if it is poison?
- No, no, no! I am going to drink it and when I wake up Romeo will be there to rescue me! This is the only way I can be with my love. A toast to Romeo!
- Oh my, Oh my! My child, my reason for living, wake up, look up, or I’ll die with you! Help, help! Call for help.
- No! Let me see her. Oh no! She’s cold. Her blood has stopped, and her joints are stiff.Death, which has taken her away to make me cry, now ties up my tongue and won’t let me speak.
- L-lady Capulet...Juliet is dead, deceased, she’s dead. Curse the day!
- She is in a better place. You could not prevent her from dying someday, but heaven will give her eternal life. In accordance with custom, carry her to the church in her best clothes.
- Friar Lawrence tries to calm and reassure the family. He uses religion to manipulate them into getting Juliet buried as soon as possible so that his plan can run smoothly and as discussed about.
