FRIAR LAWRENCE and PARISenter.

FRIAR LAWRENCE

On Thursday, sir? That’s very soon.

PARIS

That’s how my future father-in-law Capulet wants it, and I’m not dragging my feet.

FRIAR LAWRENCE

You say you don’t know what the girl thinks. That’s a rocky road to be riding. I don’t like it.

PARIS

She’s grieving too much over the death of Tybalt. So I haven’t had the chance to talk to her about love. Romantic love doesn’t happen when people are in mourning. Now, sir, her father thinks it’s dangerous that she allows herself to become so sad. He’s being smart by rushing our marriage to stop her from crying. She cries too much by herself. If she had someone to be with her, she would stop crying. Now you know the reason for the rush.

FRIAR LAWRENCE

(to himself) I wish I didn’t know the reason why the marriage should be slowed down.

Look, sir, here comes the lady walking toward my cell.

JULIET enters.

PARIS

I’m happy to meet you, my lady and my wife.

JULIET

That might be the case sir, after I’m married.

PARIS

That “may be” must be, love, on Thursday.

JULIET

What must be will be.

FRIAR LAWRENCE

That is a certain truth.

PARIS

Have you come to make confession to this father?

JULIET

If I answered that question, I’d be making confession to you.

PARIS

Don’t deny to him that you love me.

JULIET

I’ll confess to you that I love him.

PARIS

You will also confess, I’m sure, that you love me.

JULIET

If I do so, it will mean more if I say it behind your back than if I say it to your face.

PARIS

You poor soul, your face has suffered many tears.

JULIET

The tears haven’t done much because my face looked bad enough before I started to cry.

PARIS

You’re treating your face even worse by saying that.

JULIET

What I say isn’t slander, sir. It’s the truth. And what I said, I said to my face.

PARIS

Your face is mine, and you have slandered it.

JULIET

That may be the case, because my face doesn’t belong to me.—Do you have time for me now, Father, or should I come to you at evening mass?
