Romeo and Juliet: Act 1 Scene 5 Mindy Jessop

Romeo. If I touch your hand with my unworthy hand I will have to commit a sin with it. My lips are like blushing pilgrims that are ready to smooth out the rough with a kiss.
Juliet. Oh silly pilgrim! Don't doubt your hands too much because saints have hands that touch pilgrims hands. That makes me a saint and you a sinning pilgrim! Palm to palm is a holy kissed shared.
Romeo. Well saints have lips and pilgrims also have lips. So shouldn't they share a holy kiss?
Juliet. Sorry, but pilgrims need their lips more for praying and/or repenting.
Romeo. Oh but please let lips touch like hands! Turn to despair and leave your faith momentarily while with me.
Juliet. Saints do not take action so they won't have to repent.
Romeo. Then don't take action while my prayer/wish comes true. I must sin! [Kisses her.]
Juliet. Now I must sin after that!
Romeo. Oh I must sin again much sweetly as if I were Zac Effron! [Kisses her.]
Juliet. You literally take the words out of my mouth!

Romeo and Juliet, Act 2 Sc. 2 #61


Romeo: He mocks something he knows not of.
Juliet is as beautiful as the rising sun. Rosaline only wishes she could be as beautiful as you. Here she is! The woman I love! She is saying something, but I am too preoccupied with her beauty to know what. Oh, she is as beautiful as the stars in the night sky! I wish I could be up there with her!
Juliet: Oh my!
Romeo: Keep talking, because I think you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
Juliet: Why are you Romeo Montague? If you were anybody else, I could go out with you in public!
Romeo: Should I answer, or smile and nod so she can keep talking?
Juliet: If you were not my enemy, my parents would approve of this. You are not, however, a Montague. You are Romeo, the man I love! Again, if were were someone else, I could go out with you in public! You don't need to be a Montague to be Romeo. Forsake your family for me.
Romeo: As you say it, I am no longer a Montague.
Juliet: What will your new name be?
Romeo: I don't know. I hate my name because I can't be with you.
Juliet: You aren't making any sense. Are you Romeo or a Montague?
Romeo: Whatever you would like me to be.
Juliet: Why are you here? If anyone sees you, you're dead.
Romeo: I will go wherever you are, because I love you.
Juliet: You don't understand, they'll kill you.
Romeo: Your beauty is more dangerous than the lot of them.
Juliet: I hope they don't see you, for your sake.
Romeo: I'll be here as you are here, for I love you.
Juliet: How did you find me?
Romeo: Love led the way
Juliet: Is it love or lust? Prove to me it is love.
Romeo: What shall I swear by?
Juliet: Nothing. I have to go. Good night!
Romeo: Don't go!
Juliet: Good night!
Romeo: Please, no!
Nurse: Juliet!
Juliet: I have to go!
Romeo: But I love you!
Juliet: What time will we meet?
Romeo:9:00 a.m.
Juliet: I'll be there!
Romeo: Good night!

Romeo and Juliet- Carleigh Penrod p.5

Romeo: Dang that girl is fine! I have to have her! Juliet, kiss me!

Juliet: Heck no, boy! That's bad!

Romeo: Come on babe! I won't stop stalking you until you do.

Juliet: Let's do something a little less serious. Like touch hands.

Romeo: This isn't sin! Come here sweet thaaang! (Plants one on her)

Juliet:  Oh my goodness, I'm the worst person ever! How could you do something so wrong?

Romeo: It's fine, don't worry about! Just one more, baby.(Kisses her)

Juliet: Dang boy, where did you learn to kiss like that?

Nurse: Juliet, your mom wants to see you.

Romeo: Who is that girl? She's fiiiiine!

Nurse: She's that hosts daughter.

Romeo: Seriously? A Capulet?! I'm going to blow my chances with that angel!

Romeo and Juliet
Act two Scene two

And I was like baby baby baby no
I was like baby baby baby oh
I want you to be mine mine.
And by the way I think your HOT!!!!!

Colliquial Translation by Karli Maynes pd. 1

Romeo. You're too good for me, but I want to do something bad. I want to kiss you.

Juliet.  Boy, you do bad things too much. Instead of kissing, we could hold hands. That is just as good as a kiss.

Romeo.  No it's not.

Juliet. Yes it is, and lips are not for kissing, they are for talking.

Romeo. Fine, but I have a better idea. We could hold hands with our lips.

Juliet. No, lips are for talking.

Romeo. We will talk with our lips together.

[Kisses her.]

Juliet. You just made me do something bad.

Romeo. Really? Lets do it again.

[Kisses her.]

Juliet. You kiss very well.

Nurse. Juliet, your mom wants to talk to you.

Romeo. Who's her mom?

Nurse. Sir, she is the hostess. She lives here. She's a good woman. I raised her child. Any man to have her will be very happy.

Romeo. Is her last name Capulet? Oh, no! I am her enemy.





Act 1 Scene 5 Collquial Translation Tyler Mitchell


Romeo: If I only had one chance to kiss you or die. YOLO!
Juliet: You go so fast!  Is this how your mom taught you to act around women?

 Romeo: But your lips are so inviting!
Juliet: What about the sin!? We must please god!

Romeo: Let us show god our love for each other with a kiss.
Juliet: But I don't know you very well.

 Romeo: But you will after this! (Kisses her)
Juliet: I have sinned!

 Romeo: Sin With me again babe! (Kisses her again)
Juliet: You know what you are doing!

Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Scene 2 Max McMillan


Romeo: She says
Oh, say something again, beautiful woman. Your more atrractive than the moon itself, being over my head, as an angel from heaven. You have all eyes turned to you of peole who didn't know what beauty was until now. When they walk by, all they can do is stare and gaze.

Juliet: Oh Romeo, Romeo where are you Romeo? I won't listen to the Capulets or my father about your people. You pretend to not be a Montague and I will pretend to not be a Capulet.

Romeo: Do I have to listen to you more, or can I talk now?

Juliet: Because you are a Montague, you are actually my enemy. Please don't be a Montague, don't be called by the name of a Montague. Your name is Romeo. Retain your title of that name. It's yours to keep forever.

Romeo: I will take thee at your word, don't call me your love, and I will be a new person to many people. For that, I will not be called Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet Scene 2 Act 2 #522

Romeo! Romeo! Why are you a Romeo?
I won't listen to my father about the Montagues because YOLO!
Pretend you're not a Montague and I'll pretend to not be a Capulet.

Are you going to say more or can I speak now?

It is only your last name that my family hates.
You are Romeo, not Montague.
I mean, what the heck is Montague? It isn't a hand or foot
Not arm or face, or any other part
that is on a man or woman. Oh, please have a last name!
What is in a name? That we call a flower
Any other last name would smell so sweet but since you're a Montague it sounds like death.
So Romeo, if that wasn't your name,
Own that dear perfection that you own.
Without the last name Montague. Romeo is your name,
And for the name, that is no part of you,
I will take myself.
