Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1
Storyboard Text
- Please, Mercutio, let's go. The day is hot and the Capulets are around. If we meet them we shall not escape a brawl.
- Ah Benvolio, you're always the one looking for a fight. Don't worry about them. We'd win anway.
- I'm looking for Romeo. You consort with him, right? Where might he be?
- Consort? Are we like musicians in a band? I'll show you my fiddlestick.
- Please go somewhere else to fight.
- Benvolio notices the Capulets are around and tells Mercutio they should leave before they get into a fight. Mercutio claims Benvolio is always looking for a fight and tells him not to worry.
- Ah, here's the man I'm looking for. Romeo, you're a villain, therefore turn and draw.
- Good day, Tybalt. I am no villain. I wish to keep the peace between us. I will not fight you.
- Tybalt comes up to Mercutio and Benvolio and asks where Romeo is.
- Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?
- Alright, I am for you.
- Mercutio draws his sword, making a joke out of Tybalt's accusations. Benvolio begs Tybalt and Mercutio to go someplace else to fight.
- Hold Tybalt! Good Mercutio! Please stop this fighting.
- Romeo arrives and Tybalt asks him to draw his sword and fight. Romeo refuses because Tybalt is Juliet's cousin.
- Mercutio gets upset that Romeo refused to fight, so he offers to fight instead.
- Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up.
- Romeo tries to stop the fight, but Tybalt stabs Mercutio from underneat Romeo's arm.
