Gabriel & Skograv

Int. THE INHABITANT CAMPS - DAY Gabriel and his space air-fleet have invaded one of the many camps where the Inhabitants are being held through disguising themselves as Cao, the enemy, and have found their way into a line of Inhabitants that are being interrogated. One of Gabriel’s men have gone to be interrogated. Gabriel stands in line when his soldier comes back. SOLDIER I (running towards Gabriel) Captain! My Captain! GABRIEL What is it, man? SOLDIER I (stops, breathing heavily; his face weary) The Cao have given the Inhabitants a toxic mindset. They believe we have abandoned them! GABRIEL (gasps, his eyebrows furrowing) That isn’t possible, you must be joking. This is no time for those- SOLDIER I (waves his hands, shaking his head) No Captain; they believe we have abandoned them! They have even started to ally with the Cao! Come and see for yourself. The Soldier leads the Captain to a group of Inhabitants. Gabriel leaves the other soldiers, including his second in command Mealle. They could not stay long however, they’re disguised as Cao Warlords; they would need to return to their posts. SOLDIER I (clearing her throat) Inhabitants. Have you decided on your allegiance? They stare at one another. Only one speaks. INHABITANT The sapiens have given up on us; we should do the same.

14


GABRIEL (he frowns, eyebrows lifting) Are you certain you want to join our side? It could cost you dearly. INHABITANT They have given up on us. There is no protection for our people any longer. Now we need to save ourselves, and the only way we see is to ally with the enemy. Gabriel storms away from the Inhabitants and his Soldier, going back to his post. The soldiers that were left there had stood in. Marching back to his post, Captain Gabriel’s fists clench and unclench. He breaths in slowly, and he waits for the Soldier he left behind to follow him. They make their way back to their group of disguised Soldiers. GABRIEL [whispering] We have to do something about this. Now. Before any more damage is done. SOLDIER I [whispering] Like what, Captain? We’re surrounded on all fronts with Cao- we aren’t in the best position to do anything. GABRIEL We can’t just sit here and wait. Not only are our allies lives at stake, but our alliance with them as well. Call in to the ship; we need backup. SOLDIER I But Captain, that would not only blow our cover but put everyone at risk! We can’t just make split decisions like that- GABRIEL Fine then, I’ll do it myself. Gabriel sighs as he uses his intercom. A voice picks up on the other side. GABRIEL Second, I need you to send in reinforcements. We’ve got an alliance crisis forming down here. SECOND Would you stop calling me ‘second’? That’s far too professional for both of our tastes. GABRIEL [short laugh] I don’t think this is the time for anything else, Mer.

15


SECOND (MER) See? It isn’t too hard. But I see your point; your position is prettyyy bad man. GABRIEL You think? Peering up from their group, Soldier I sees a few Cao looking at their backs. They whisper to themselves and more appear around them. They get Gabriel’s attention just long enough for him to see the Cao as well. MER Let me help you fix that. Some reinforcements are on the way. Just stay put, and they’ll be there in less than 20. GABRIEL What, 20? I don’t know if we have 20. MER How come exactly? GABRIEL Well, to put it short; I think some of these Cao are getting suspicions about us. As if on cue, the Cao start to walk towards the group of disguised humans. MER Oh, so you’re in real danger then? GABRIEL No. I’m just telling you that to make you care. MER Such a dry tone for sarcasm; if I were anyone else I would deem you serious. GABRIEL If. But, you’re you. MER Exactly. Soldier I takes action, standing face to face with the Cao that had stepped up to their group. SOLDIER I Is there a problem, fellow Cao?

16


Gabriel and the rest of the disguised human soldiers all look up from their positions. One of the Cao open their skull masks to speak. CAO I Við vorum að tala saman, og enginn virðist vita af hverju þið eruð hérna. SOLDIER I Um… pardon? CAO I Skilur þú mig ekki? SOLDIER I I… Gabriel interjects, turning his intercom off. The Cao blatantly ignore Gabriel’s movements for the Soldier until he speaks. GABRIEL Okkur var sagt að það var vandi í búðunum og við komum strax til aðstoðar.Og líka- fyrir hópinn minn- gætir þú talað í hlutlausa tungumálinu? CAO I Ah, yes yes. I apologize. There has not been any form of situation here quite yet though- which Elite sent you? Soldier I had resided back to the other disguised humans. Gabriel was the only person speaking to the Cao. Behind Gabriel, Soldier II whispered to the others in the squad. SOLDIER II We need to do something- anything to distract the Cao long enough for us to begin our assault. SOLDIER I Assault? No, no we’re not doing anything until reinforcements get here. What are you thinkin’? SOLDIER II I’m thinking that we need to make sure the fleet sees where we are. If they don’t they can’t give us proper reinforcement now can they? Solder II marches through the Inhabitants- stopping at one of the camp’s walls. The surrounding Cao watch him for a moment, but shrug him off to watch the Inhabitants. He sets fire to the camp wall with a laser. The surrounding Inhabitants notice the smoke. The fire spreads quickly.

17


INHABITANT II [Coughing] Fire! Fire! The Cao notice the fire. They run to the cause to extinguish it. Soldier II starts another in the other corner- parading as a Cao trying to corral the Inhabitants. SOLDIER I What are you doing! SOLDIER II Making sure the fleet notices us. Soldier I tackles Soldier II to the ground, the Cao surrounding them both. Cao I looks away from Gabriel for just a moment to see the fires, and calls for the Cao to get the Inhabitants out of the camp and into another. The other Cao take Soldier I and Soldier II into custody, pulling them out of the camp with the Inhabitants. Soldier II fights back, causing a scene. CAO I Why are you two starting fires! Do you want our Overlord to come down here? Solder II [struggling against the Cao] Fuck you and your Overlord! Gabriel runs out of the camp with a mixture of true Cao and disguised humans on his tail. He looks for the Soldiers and runs to help Soldier II. GABRIEL What’s going on here? Why do you have a member of my squad restrained? CAO I This squad member of yours has not only started these fires, but committed an act of treason by slandering the name of our Overlord. GABRIEL That can’t be so! Soldier II attacks one of the Cao holding him, knocking it out. He blasts the other with another laser. Soldier II takes off his disguise. The surrounding Cao set off alarms. CAO ALARM There is an unauthorized presence in faction seven. Blood is warm.

18


SOLDIER I [running to Gabriel] Our cover has been blown! Gabriel stares at Soldier II. Gabriel We’ll be having a private conversation once we get back to the ship. But first-we need to take this camp out. Gabriel takes off his disguise- followed by the rest of his squad. They begin their battle. The Cao reinforcements come fast. CAO WARLORD [Pointing towards the group of humans; snarling] Take them; dead or alive! The Cao Warlord and its squad take aim at the humans. Soldier I Captain-do you know when the reinforcements are coming? GABRIEL I don’t know. Solder III We’re incredibly outnumbered, Sir! GABRIEL I know. Do what you must- just fight! The humans fight against the Cao, some getting grave injuries. The camp behind them burns to ashes, the fire spreads. More camps are caught in the fire. The Cao Warlords are gaining advantage on the humans quickly. Up ahead, a large space ship floats into view. Soldier I notices it. SOLDIER I [blocking a hit] Captain! Our enforcements- they’re here! Smaller ships come from underneath the large ship. They surge toward the fire-y battle scene. Soldiers and Healers drop from the ships. GABRIEL So you brought the whole ship huh. A ship runs into a group of Cao, landing in front of the nearest camp. A woman leaps out of it, taking out Cao near her. She fights her way through a group of Cao, making her way towards the Captain. She laughs once they touch shoulders.

19


GABRIEL Mer, honestly, this is just too much! MER I thought you would like an audience for your biggest win in history. GABRIEL [Stabbing a Cao-looking back at Mer] Honestly, that is a nice idea. Lets just make sure my men can live to tell the tale. MER Trust me; the casualties won’t be too dire to our cause! Mer runs farther into the battle, a few Cao following her. Gabriel focuses on the group of Cao closest to their main ship, a few of his Soldiers coming to help keep them from getting too close to it. Gabriel had just cut the throat of yet another Cao, and he had looked up long enough to see a certain Cao. He stopped in his tracks, frozen in time for just a quick minute. They made eye contact. They charged each other. There were few Soldiers or Cao that got in their way, and the ones that did had gotten pushed back into their separate fights or killed. They met with their weapons in-between them. Gabriel was the first to speak. GABRIEL I don’t think I’ve ever seen your coloring of Cao before. Different helmet and all. Are you sure you aren’t one of my soldiers? The Cao pushed him backward, rushing him and kicking him up into the air. He shot back at it, hitting it square in the face, knocking it to the ground, along with its helmet. Once he was able to meet the ground with his feet, he stood and started to charge the Cao once more, but stopped in his tracks. The Cao he gotten up, looked around for the enemy, and once they met eyes, it had also stopped to stare. The surrounding soldiers and Cao that had let them fight were getting antsy. Another fire had started with one of the tents. Mer had looked up from her fight to see the Captain frozen in place. She rushes to his aid, only to be stopped by another group of Cao. She yells back at Gabriel. MER Gabe, could you snap out of whatever is happening-you left yourself open! Gabriel moved towards the Cao that he had been staring at for far too long. It moved backward and reached for its helmet. GABRIEL You are too beautiful to be a Cao.

20


The Cao walked backwards, reaching for their next weapon. It set its helmet back on. CAO Some of us have that effect on humans I suppose. The Cao rushes the Captain once again, and the Captain stays in place. They meet once again with their weapons between them. GABRIEL I’ve never heard a Cao make a joke before. That is what that was right? CAO What helps you sleep at night, Captain. Gabriel smiled, and pushed the Cao back just slightly. He moved around to slice at its side, but it blocks the hit with its armored arm. GABRIEL Have you spent time with humans before? This seems very peculiar for us to be able to have such a… human discussion. CAO It seems very peculiar that we are speaking to one another to begin with. GABRIEL Touch é. They both dance around each other, occasionally rushing the other, but then backing off. GABRIEL Now I’m curious as to why you haven’t killed me yet. CAO I could ask the same about you. GABRIEL No, it’s a genuine question. Why haven’t you even tried since we started our conversation? CAO Is it wrong for someone to continue their conversation? GABRIEL I mean-why would you want to converse with your enemy?

21


CAO Name a single Cao you’ve seen that has been able to think for themselves and keep conversation. GABRIEL You. CAO I don’t count! The Cao swings for the Captains head, just slow enough for him to be able to duck. He grabs its arm, pulling it towards him. His weapon directly at its stomach. GABRIEL You make a point, though. CAO [peers between them, chuckling] Speaking of points. GABRIEL [laughing] Even with your life in danger, you can joke? Are you sure you’re a Cao? CAO I’m just one of the better ones. The Cao grabs the Captains weapon, crushing it between its hands. It grabbed the Captain by his uniform, throwing him on the ground. He groans, standing and wiping the pebbles and rocks that he can get to off of his back. GABRIEL Now are we back to being enemies? CAO Just needed to make it seem like I wanted to hurt you. Wouldn’t want to make my soldiers think that I wasn’t trying to kill you now would I. Gabriel scrunches up his nose. Mer yells from behind him. MER Gabe! Your 10! Gabriel looks to his left, seeing a Cao rushing towards him. He prepares to fight it, but Mer shoots it before it gets too close. MER Keep the Cao Captain busy, Gabe! We can take care of the rest!

22


The Cao Gabriel has been speaking to takes this time to charge him. It tries to grab him once more, but he ducks out of the way, finding his way behind it and kicking it square in the back. It lurches forward and loses its balance, back gets it back in time to punt Gabriel in the side with the end of its weapon. GABRIEL So, you’re a Cao Captain? CAO Not really, no. Gabriel shoots at the Cao’s legs, the Cao forced to move to not be shot. CAO Stop that, don’t toy with me human. I can still kill you whenever I want. GABRIEL Oh would you really? There is a yell from the air. SOLDIER III All of the Inhabitants have been rescued! Gabriel and the Cao stop. They look at each other for another second before Gabriel walks towards it, hands raised shoulder height. GABRIEL Last chance. CAO It wouldn’t do me any good to kill you now. GABRIEL Now? When do you plan- CAO You’re an interesting little thing. Mer crashes into Gabriel’s back, grabbing him and pulling him towards their ship. GABRIEL What the hell-Mer! MER We have to go!

23


GABRIEL So soon? MER I know, but our main mission has been complete- come on! Gabriel runs with Mer back to their ship, looking back to see the Cao he had been fighting. It stands there, arms crossed. Another Cao rushes towards it. Cao III Skograv! It turns, no longer paying attention to the Captain and his retreating forces. The Cao is wiping its hands on its torso piece, looking in a new direction every few seconds. SKOGRAV What is it, Healer? CAO HEALER You aren’t too badly injured? You seem like you don’t need any assistance. SKOGRAV No, I’m in perfect shape. CAO HEALER Then why didn’t you kill the human Captain? SKOGRAV Is that any of your business, Healer? The scene changes back to Captain Gabriel, back on his ship. He is tending to the reports. Mer is helping his count casualties. She speaks. MER Soo… That Cao Captain sure was something huh? GABRIEL It wasn’t a Captain. Just a regular Warlord. MER And how would you know? GABRIEL And how would that benefit you to know? Mer I dunno, maybe because you looked like you were having too much fun there, talking with the enemy.

24


GABRIEL Where did that come from, that sentence has nothing to do with what you said before- MER That doesn’t matter! Gabriel laughs and Mer stands, moving to face Gabriel. MER Seriously man, what was that down there? You guys were just playing cat and mouse the middle of the battlefield. GABRIEL Is that what you call it. I thought we were fighting to the death while having a civilized conversation. MER Now that makes no sense. GABRIEL It’s fine, it’s fine. Now, can we finish these reports? MER No, we aren’t doing anything until you tell me what that was about. You put yourself at risk. You’re literally the brains of our operation, and you know it- GABRIEL Mer- MER Let me finish. Gabriel sighs, folding his hands in his lap. MER This is the first time I’ve ever seen you be so careless, Gabe. This singular Cao was able to get you to freeze in the middle of battle twice. Twice Gabriel. That isn’t good for anyone, and it sure isn’t good for you. Think about it, what’s gonna happen the next time you two meet? You’ll freeze up? A Cao will take advantage of that and kill you on the stop. You can’t let this happen again. GABRIEL You’re right. You’re right about the freezing-but it won’t happen again. I’m ready for it this time. I know what to look out for. But, there is some light in this situation; it didn’t want to kill me either.

25


MER Wait, what? GABRIEL Yeah. MER For real? You’re being serious? GABRIEL Yeah! MER Holy fuck! That’s a huge breakthrough with their people-dude! Duuuuuuudddeeee! GABRIEL I know, I was just as surprised as you! The Cao genuinely had its own ideas and it even made jokes! MER Jokes! GABRIEL It makes me think-maybe there are more Cao that think like that. Have a free will. Don’t always follow their Overlord. MER If there is one, there is bound to be more. GABRIEL But, let’s not get our hopes up. They could have been an anomaly. MER Anomaly. Clearly, if they get you to freeze up like that. GABRIEL Can we get back to writing reports? I really don’t want to sit here all night. MER Look at you changing the subject. Mer goes back into her seat, bringing up their reports. After a few moments, Gabriel speaks. GABRIEL Mer.

26


MER Yeah? GABRIEL You have to swear you won’t tell anyone about this conversation. It could have me questioned for treason for even thinking such thoughts about the Cao. MER Well, what are those thoughts exactly? All you told me was what happened, not what you think. GABRIEL That that Cao in particular had gotten me smitten. MER Oh. GABRIEL I mean, it isn’t really a big deal- MER Yeah the fuck it is shut up and tell me everything in that brain of yours. Gabriel chuckles, continuing his filing. GABRIEL It’s like we had a connection. And it’s humor was incredible-better than some humans! It was like we immediately understood each other. Our brains felt the same. Mer is silent. She nods, and folds her arms. MER So. What do you plan on doing about this? GABRIEL What do you mean? I can’t do anything- MER You’re the captain. You can do whatever you want. GABRIEL Mer- MER No, Gabe, seriously. You never have anything like this, I have never seen you do this. You didn’t even have this face with your first girlfriend!

27


GABRIEL Face? MER What are you gonna do about this? GABRIEL I don’t know! MER Well then, I’ll help you. GABRIEL [laughing] How are you gonna help me? MER I’m gonna either help you get rid of this little crush, or bring you two together! GABRIEL Woah woah wait no- MER How else are we gonna stop you from going freeze frame in the middle of a battle! GABRIEL It happened once, Mer, I’ll be fine! MER Do you really want to risk that? There was a long pause. GABRIEL [heavy sigh] No. MER That’s what I thought. END OF PART. TO BE CONTINUED.

28

Juliet was at the fair with her family which obviously are the capulets , they were having a nice time with each other , you know just chilling . On the other side of the fair was romeo and his groupie of montagues ,but just wasn't his friends also a girl by the name of rosaline. They were having a good time until they all went to go get a little something to eat as they walk to the food court ,the capulets are also on their way over there. Romeo grab his food and as he was backing up he bumps into juliet and at that instant he wasn't even thinking about rosaline and it felt like the whole world had froze but them , as they were staring juliet felt butterflies in her stomach and so did romeo , even if his girlfriend was there. Sadly that didn't last too long but it felt like an eternity to them , tybalt already knew who romeo was so he ran up to break it up. Tybalt had seen this as a threat to his crew , so he told romeo to leave before they had to fight. Romeo left but gave juliet a little glare and moved his eyes toward the fun house , that meaning that he would be waiting for her in there. Juliet when they talked had a fun time until romeo's best friend marcucio showed up and dragged romeo out the fun house and he told romeo she was a capulets , juliet waited and waited for romeo to come back but sadly he never came back they all left so devastated , especially because romeo found out she was a capulet. On at home ,juliet overheard tybalt talking about romeo , that's when she found out that romeo was a montague. INT. THE PARTY -NIGHT

Romeo and Juliet are new neighbors that both love to play basketball. When Juliet meets Romeo she challenges him to a game on basketball. The deal was that if Romeo wins, he wins the heart of Juliet. Romeo wins and they are together, but they are interrupted by the parents of Romeo. Romeo’s parents know that Juliet is the daughter of his rival. He is very upset and exposes her. Romeo had no clue, but when he and Juliet find out, their love never changed. Their feelings remained the same. Then the family of Juliet comes out to see what is going on. They realize that Romeo’s dad is being rude to Juliet because he is her father’s rival. Juliet's father and Romeo’s father are arguing while Romeo and Juliet slip away to the side of the house. They make a commitment to each other, saying that just because their parents don’t like each other, they don’t have to fall in the same trap. They will meet each other at school and be with each other three. The parents realize that their children are gone. ROmeo’s father finds them together and basically bands Juliet from ever coming to their house again. Juliet's father takes Juliet from them and gives her to nurse. Nurse walks Juliet back to their house to get ready for school the next day. Her father catches up to her and tells her that she is to never go over Romeo’s house again. Juliet is sad at first because she thinks that she will never see each other again, but she remembers that she will be able to be with him at school the very next day. EXT MONTAGUE DRIVEWAY - DAYTIME Romeo is playing basketball in his driveway while a loud, big moving truck catches his attention when is pulls up across the street. ROMEO (looks across the street) I wonder who that is. Romeo runs to the bushes to a better glimpse at his new neighbors. His eyes instantly zeroed in on a attractive- looking teenage girl. ROMEO (Jaw drops) She’s Beautiful EXT MONTAGUE FRONT YARD- DAYTIME Romeo comes from behind the bushes and intentionally throws the basketball into their yard so he can get a closer look and interact with the Juliet. Then the ball accidentally hits Juliet in the head, causing her to fall to the ground. Romeo runs across the street in a panic. JULIET (grabbing her head in pain) Ouch!

36


ROMEO (kneels on the ground and extends his hand) Are you okay? I'm so sorry! JULIET (still rubbing the pain away from her head as she is grabbing Romeo’s hand) Yeah, I’m fine The two eyes eventually meet.There was an awkward moment between the two. They froze dead in their tracks, admiring each other look ROMEO (smiling and helping her up while rubbing his neck) Yeah you are JULIET (getting up) Excuse me? ROMEO (covers his mouth in regret) Did I say that out loud? JULIET (giggling flirtatiously) And who are you? Romeo and Juliet properly introduce them self and challenge each other to a game of basketball. ROMEO (brushing himself off) My name is Romeo. What is yours? JULIET (reaching her hand out to Romeo) My name is Juliet 37


ROMEO (shaking Juliet’s hand) Where are you from and what is it that you do? JULIET (walking to the edge of the sidewalk) Well, I'm from Chicago and I love to play basketball. We move quite often because of my father. ROMEO (gasping while he follows Juliet) Wow, really? I love basketball. Also our family does the same thing. I just moved here about a week or two ago for my father, we should be leaving soon after his last game. JULIET What is it that your father does? ROMEO He is a basketball player JULIET (gasping in amazement) Mines too! That's so cool. Did you know that where I used to live, no one on my street could beat me ROMEO (spins the basketball on his finger and laughs) Well that’s going to change. Get ready for a rude awakening. Why don’t you come over after supper? I’ll prove it to you. JULIET (shakes romeo hand) That’s a deal! ROMEO (still shaking Juliet’s hand) And If I win I get to steal your heart, deal? 38


JULIET (blushing) We will s- Nurse interrupts their conversation because of Juliet’s mother in need of Juliet's help NURSE (running to the yard) Juliet! Your mother is looking for you, she needs help unpacking in the kitchen JULIET (Turning to Romeo quickly with a worried look on her face) See you after supper, right? ROMEO (runs back across the street to his home) Don’t forget! INT-JULIET’S ROOM- DAYTIME The nurse and Juliet unpack Juliet’s belongings and talks about Romeo NURSE (folding Juliet’s clothes) Who was that young man you were with out in the front yard? JULIET (walking towards the window) His name is Romeo, we have so much in common. We both love to play basketball and our fathers play basketball too. Romeo also said that they move all the time. It’s almost normal for them. We are playing basketball today after supper and if he wins i’ll be his girlfr- NURSE (dropping Juliet’s clothes) Juliet! Now you know your father will not approve of this 39


JULIET (walking over to the bed and lying down) But that’s not fair father is never here! I barely get to talk to him, much less alone. Then for a boy to come over here and ask for consent, that will never happen! NURSE (sighing) If your father finds out that I know about this, he will fire me! JULIET (jumps up from laying down) I’ll just have Romeo come over tomorrow. Then he shall ask my father! NURSE (walking over to Juliet’s bed) Your father has a big championship game tomorrow that we all must attend! Anyway don’t get your hopes up about this boy because if your father loses, he doesn’t get a break, and on to the next city we go! JULIET (getting up from her bed and going back to the window) I’ll think of something INT-CAPULET DINING ROOM-DAYTIME Juliet, Nurse, and both her mother and father are all having their supper. JULIET (Nervous and unconfident) After this meal, I will be going across the street to play a quick game of basketball. Well with your approval, of course. LADY CAPULET (shaking her head “yes” in approval) Sure honey, seems fine with me. It is also good that your making friends already. 40


NURSE (winking at Juliet) I agree with you, my Lady LADY CAPULET (turning to her husband) Wouldn’t you say so my love? LORD CAPULET (Looking at his phone, unaware of the situation) Uh, yeah, sure JULIET (blurts out almost instantly) So can I have two hundred dollars for tomorrow? LORD CAPULET (Still unaware) Uh, yeah, sure. Everyone giggles at Juliet NURSE (Slaps juliet is a playful way, laughing) Don’t do that to your father! LADY CAPULET (rolling her eyes) Anyways, What is your new friend’s name? JULIET (Tense and hesitates to reply) Ummmm. His na- LADY CAPULET (interrupting) His?! Don’t do anything with this friend of yours other than play a basketball game. Everyone at the table starts to laugh again. 41


JULIET (embarrassed and half-heartedly saying...) Mom! I’m not going to do anything. Anyways, as I was saying before you rudely interrupted me, His name is Romeo. LADY CAPULET Oh, well once you are finished with your food, you may leave to join him. JULIET (excited) Okay, thanks Mother Juliet dumps the few scraps of meatloaf and mashed potatoes left on her plate in the trash. She then rinses the glass plate and dry it with a towel right before returning it with the rest of the expensive china plates and bowls. She races down the stairs to leave the house, already dresses in her basketball outfit. EXT-MONTAGUE DRIVEWAY- DAYTIME She runs across the street where Romeo is throwing up some shots already. JULIET (out of breath) That’s… not fair! ROMEO (confused) What? JULIET (Still unable to catch her breath) You know…. what I mean. You can’t get up... extra shots. ROMEO Whatever. I’m going to continue to shoot until you catch your breath. I don’t want you having any excuses for when I beat you. JULIET Okay, I’m ready now. 42


ROMEO (passing the ball to Juliet) Check up. JULIET (confused) It’s my ball first. ROMEO Why would that be? JULIET Lady’s first. My ball. ROMEO It’s my ball, my hoop, my driveway, my street. JULIET (holding her hands up in demand for the ball) That’s all going to change tonight. ROMEO (passing her the ball) Okay, It sounds good. Romeo and Juliet are playing basketball. The ball goes in the hoop almost every time, Juliet is having a hard time catching up. ROMEO (making a layup) And that’s game! JULIET (sitting down out of breathe) Your better than I thought ROMEO (sitting next to her) So you know what this means? 43


JULIET (smirks) I don’t, can you remind me? ROMEO (grabbing Juliet’s by the waist) Your mine JULIET (blushing) I don’t think I have ever been more love with you until now ROMEO (leaning in for a kiss) I love you so much JULIET (shuts her eyes, getting ready for a kiss) I love you too Romeo and Juliet continue kissing until they get interrupted by Romeo’s mother. ROMEO’S MOTHER (clueless) What is going on out here? ROMEO (nervous) No-nothing Mother. W-we were just playing a quick game of basketball. Nothing else. ROMEO’S FATHER (storming out the house) Romeo! I know you are not kissing my biggest rival’s daughter! How ashamed I am of you. ROMEO I-I wasn’t. We were just playing basketball. 44


JULIET (looks at Romeo in confusion) Yo- your biggest rival? What do you mean? You must be mistaken, I just moved here. ROMEO (Turns to Juliet) What??? Juliet YOUR father plays for the Raptors? I couldn’t believe you didn't tell me. JULIET Yeah so what, you never asked either. There is a silent moment for Juliet to think over what is happening. She then comes to a realization… JULIET (in disbelief) Wait, your father plays for the Warriors! ROMEO’S FATHER Yes I do, and I’ll have you know that you are not welcome to my house no longer. Go home and never come back! ROMEO (concerned) No! She is not your rival she is just his daughter. You have no reason to be mad at her. Both of Juliet’s parents hear the chaos outside and come outside to see what the problem is. JULIET’ MOTHER (confused) What is going on? Is everything ok? ROMEO’S FATHER (angered) No, everything is not ok. Your daughter was out here kissing my son. She is not welcome here. 45


JULIET’S FATHER (offended) You will never speak at my daughter like that again. Nor will you speak to my wife like that. Juliet and Romeo’s Father both step towards each other and both of the mothers recognize it. They get in between the two men and try to prevent the fight that the brewing. JULIET’S MOTHER It’s not worth it honey. You have a game tomorrow. I don’t want you to miss it over something that is not important. JULIET’S FATHER He will not disrespect my family like that and get away with it. JULIET’S MOTHER It’s okay, I already forgot what he said. It doesn’t bother me. See? I’m ok. JULIET’S FATHER But I didn’t forget! ROMEO’S FATHER (turning to his wife) Tell this man to get off of my lawn ROMEO’S MOTHER (trying to calm her husband) We will, soon. I just need you to calm down for me, ok? You have a very big night tomorrow and the whole world wants to see you play. I do not want you to miss it over something silly like this. While this argument is happening, Romeo and Juliet sneak off to the side of the house. ROMEO I am honestly sorry for what my father said to you. I never intended for this night to end up like this JULIET It’s fine. Our parents are very competitive and they are rivals because they are playing in the championship game tomorrow. Everything in on the line. ROMEO Yeah, but this doesn’t change how I feel about you. 46


JULIET My feelings have not changed either. I love you ROMEO I love you too Romeo and Juliet are again kissing beside the house. Their parents are still arguing and screaming. Neighbors from all over the area are gathered around to see the argument. ROMEO (Pulls away from Juliet) You heard my father right? He said that you are not welcomed here. So much for first impressions. Haha. JULIET (saddened) Yeah, what are we going to do? When are we going to see each other? ROMEO (thinks for a little) I got nothing JULIET I’m so sorry ROMEO For what? JULIET I ruined everything ROMEO (grabs both of her hands) How is this your fault? This is totally not your fault. This is really my dad's fault. JULIET (similes) Well I’m going to miss you ROMEO Let’s not let this be the end of anything. 47


JULIET I just remembered that I have to go to my new school tomorrow. After school we have to go to the game ROMEO What school are you going to? JULIET Westside High ROMEO (excited) Really? JULIET Yeah, and I heard that they have uniforms. That was a bummer. ROMEO Well I’ll have you know that… JULIET That what? ROMEO That... I attend that school too! JULIET (joyed) Really! Yay! Now we can be with each other! ROMEO (excited) Yeah we will probably have few classes together and that is when we can talk to each other. JULIET (smiling) Ok, that sounds like a plan ROMEO Ok then I’ll meet you down there (points at the end of the street) That is where the bus picks us up. 48


JULIET Ok, see you tomorrow ROMEO (grabs Juliet’s hand again) Goodbye my love JULIET ‘Till tomorrow ROMEO I will be sad just like the sun as it leaves tonight. Then when the sun rises tomorrow, I will be happy as she when I see your face as when the sun sees our faces again. JULIET I loved that. Almost as much as I love you ROMEO (leans in toward Juliet) I love you so much Both the parents of Romeo and Juliet realize that they have left the scene of the fight ROMEO’S FATHER (looks around) Where is Romeo JULIET’S FATHER (looks around too) Where is Juliet ROMEO’S FATHER Your daughter took him to the back to rub all up on him! JULIET’S FATHER Your face probably scared them off! ROMEO’S FATHER I’ll go look for them. I’ll most likely find them kissing each other. 49


JULIET’S FATHER Yeah you do that! Romeo’s father searches for both Romeo and Juliet. It takes him a while, but he eventually finds them on the side of the house against the fence. ROMEO’S FATHER Well, well, well. What do we have here? Romeo and Juliet are once again interrupted. They pull away from each other ROMEO It’s not what you think father ROMEO’S FATHER What did I tell you little girl? You are not welcome here! ROMEO Do not talk to her like that! ROMEO’S FATHER What has gotten into you! Get in the house! ROMEO Bu- ROMEO’S FATHER Go! Before Romeo could tell Juliet goodbye, she ran to the front of the house to her parents. Then Romeo walked into the house, up to his room on the third floor. JULIET (Tears in her eyes) Can we just leave? JULIET’S MOTHER (Comforting her) Sure thing baby girl 50


JULIET’S FATHER (furious) What did you say to her? ROMEO’S FATHER (pointing to Juliet in her mother’s arms) Ask her, she’s right there NURSE Here, I’ll take her to the house and get her ready for bed. You guys can settle this and come home when your ready JULIET’S MOTHER Ok thank you Nurse. NURSE (waves Juliet over) Let’s go home JULIET (looks back for Romeo) Oh, why me? NURSE (rubs her back to cheer her up) It will be alright The parents decide to part and go home. JULIET’S FATHER (halfway across the street, looks back) We’ll settle this tomorrow at the game. ROMEO’S FATHER Yes we will Juliet’s father catches up to Juliet and Nurse who are walking up the stairs to the house. JULIET’S FATHER (grabs Juliet by the shoulders) I forbid you to speak and interact with that little boy across the street. 51


JULIET No, father don’t do this, please! JULIET’S FATHER (Shakes her shoulders) No, never speak to him, that’s final! Juliet looks her father in his eyes and tears fill them. She runs up the rest of the stairs and a few more flights to get to her room. She slams the door and buries her face in her pillow. She just lays there and can only think of Romeo. INT-JULIET’S ROOM- NIGHTTIME Juliet gets over herself because she realizes that she has no reason to cry. She is going to see Romeo tomorrow at school. So, she walks over to her vanity to get ready for bed. Her vanity is right beside her window. She gets a makeup wipe and erases all of the mascara smeared down on her checks. Afterwards she gets a comb in order to brush her hair. She looks out the window and sees Romeo’s house directly across the street. In the window on the third floor, Romeo is sitting there, looking at nothing. He is daydreaming, staring off into space. Romeo never looks up at Juliet, so she decides to just lay in bed and go to sleep.

52


The Balcony Scene Romeo climbs up the balcony looking for Juliet and Romeo eyes sparkle when he sees her. Juliet turns around and sees him Juliet (startled) Romeo, how did you get here!? (Grabs Romeo’s hand) Come in before anyone Sees you Romeo I followed you after you left because I could stop thinking about…you. Juliet (blushes) I also kept thinking about you Romeo (caresses her hair) I’m here because I need to tell you something that you must know Juliet What is it? Romeo (takes deep breath) I love you (gives Juliet a kiss on the lips) Juliet I love you too Romeo! Romeo And I want to marry you 53

Romeo I believe you. Just tell me you love me and I’ll get rid of it. Juliet Who there? Say or im calling the cops right nowww ! Romeo You asked for a name, but you don’t like my name.

62


Build up to the Balcony Scene The representatives of the allied countries that sided with the Beaumont family had gathered in the base of the Beaumonts. They had come together to figure out what they would do next now that they had gained a victory, but also needing to end this war with it having carried out over a decade and the neighboring allies no longer being able to keep up fighting in the war with resources running low. The base of the Beaumonts had been uncovered by a soldier of Edris and had reported to Queen Andrea that the location of the base was in Valen. After Captain Gavin’s return to Edris and having recovered from his wound, that had been inflicted during the last battle, he had been sent undercover to see if the base of the Beaumonts was actually in Valen and if he could gather any vital information for the next battle. Under the disguise of a servant, he infiltrated the base; finding out that the Beaumont’s allies had gathered and were planning for a final battle while the Edris military was still recovering from their loss. On his way out of the base, he runs into Abigail and he finds out that she serves under the Beaumont family, specifically Irine. It is during that meeting that Irine shows up and recognizes Gavin, shouting to others about his identity; it is at this moment that Abigail learns about who Gavin actually is. Gavin runs and hides in the forest near the base, until the searchers give up; he gets ready to go back to Edris when he finds Abigail near a well and gathering water. EXT. BEAUMONT BASE - FOREST - EARLY NIGHT Gavin approaches Abigail by the well quietly and hides behind a tree. Abigail (ties bucket to the rope and lowers it into the well) Why did his last name have to be Ludwick? Out of all the names in the world, why did it have to be that one name? Gavin (leans his head closer to Abigail) And why did yours have to that of a Beaumont? Why, in all my years of living, did I have to finally fall in love, and with you of all people, in this moment, with our war ending in the near future. Abigail (pulls rope to raise the bucket full of water; smiles) If only time could have stopped when we were in the woods. (looks around area; frowns)

63


But I must really get over this and return quickly. It would be horrible if someone heard of this. (picks up bucket; walks to the back door of the Beaumont base) Gavin I should get out of here and report back to Queen Andrea about the gathering. (turns around; steps on a branch) Shit. Abigail (turns towards the sound and her eyes go wide; looks at Gavin, drops bucket of water and runs to the Beaumont base back door) Gavin (runs after Abigail) Wait! Abigail! Abigail (keeps running) Leave or I will alert everyone that you are here! You will not escape a second time! (tilts her head up) Guards! Guards! He’s back! Come and help m- Gavin (catches up to Abigail and tackles her to the ground) Either way, you will alert them if you keep screaming and then we will both be caught and punished by being seen with each other. Abigail (looks at Gavin) This would not be a problem if you were not here. What are you still even doing here? The guards could not catch you. You should’ve been far away by now. Gavin (looks at Abigail) I was still hiding from the soldiers and waited a bit to make sure I wasn’t caught if any were still lurking around. Then when I was about to leave, I saw you. 64


Abigail So what, you saw me and then stayed? What were you thinking? Are you crazy? Gavin (shrugs his shoulders) Maybe, but I just wanted to see you again. Abigail (Rises one of her eyebrows) So wait, you were creeping on me in the shadows? Get off of me. (pushes Gavin away and stands up; walks away from Gavin) Gavin (stands up and follows Abigail) I wasn’t intentionally seeking you out to spy on you. You just came near the place where I was hiding from the guards. Abigail (turns around and faces Gavin) Then why didn’t you attempt to leave after they stopped? Even if I had seen you, you could have escaped easily as I am not as fast as you. Gavin (looks at Abigail) I could have escaped, but I wanted to be near you for a bit longer before I left and even more so after I heard you talking about me. Abigail (slowly walks backwards from Gavin) You heard that? Gavin (walks towards Abigail) I did Abigail (looks down and sighs; slumps her shoulders) Well there’s nothing I can do about that now. I cannot make up an excuse as you’ve already heard me. Gavin So are you confirming that you have feelings for me? 65


Abigail (looks back up at Gavin’s face) Yes, though I know that I should not. Gavin (takes Abigail’s hands in his) You are not alone in feeling that way. Ever since our meeting in Valen’s forest, I have been constantly thinking about you, where you might be and if we would ever meet again. Abigail Only to come to find me as part of the Beaumont family. Gavin (frowns) Yes, that does complicate our situation. Abigail So much that we both could die is someone were to find out and label us as traitors to our families. (takes back her hands from Gavin) Which is why I think that you should leave now. I do not wish to see the man that I professed my love to die. Gavin (shakes his head) I do not wish to leave just yet. Abigail What do you mean? You need to leave right now before if they come searching again. (eyes widen) Or searching for me. I have forgotten about Irine. She will come looking for me or send someone else to fetch me with how long it is taking me to get the water. (runs to the well and picks up the bucket from the ground) I need to do this quickly before she gets suspicious. (ties bucket to the rope and lowers the bucket into the well) Gavin (runs to the well and stands behind Abigail) If you need to leave, then do so, but come back another day so we can meet each other again. 66


Abigail (pulls up rope and unties it from the bucket; picks up the bucket of water then turns towards Gavin and shakes her head) No, that would only add onto the risk of us getting caught and the punishment would be even worse if they were to find out that I went out to meet you willingly. (turns away from Gavin and walks to the Beaumont base back door) Gavin (walks with Abigail until the end of the forest) Please, just meet me back here just once more. If I’m never going to see you again, I’d like to have one final meeting, but on our terms. Abigail (turns toward Gavin) Is that what it will take you to leave this place for good? Gavin It is the only thing that I want in this moment. Abigail (looks at Gavin and then looks at the back door of the Beaumont base) Fine, just wait for me by the well in a week just to be safe. Gavin Then in a week. Abigail (turns away from Gavin and runs towards the back door of the Beaumont Base) Gavin (Turns and walks towards the forest) INT. BEAUMONT BASE - IRINE’S ROOM- EARLY NIGHT Abigail enters Irine’s room. She heads towards Irine, sitting in front of a vanity. Irine (turns towards Abigail) What took you so long? You’re usually fast with these things. Abigail (sets down the bucket of water on top of a table) 67


Sorry, I had to make another round to the well when I accidentally dropped the first bucket of water. Irine (sighs) Well no surprise there, you can be very clumsy sometimes. Now that you’re here though come and help me. My hair needs to be taken down and my face washed. Abigail (walks towards a basket; reaches in to get a rag, glass and bowl) Alright. (walks towards the vanity and sets down the rag, bowl, and glass) Irine (turns towards the vanity) Abigail (starts to unpin Irine’s hair) Hair down again, or tied back? Irine Hair down Abigail (picks up the hair brush on the vanity) Okay (starts to brush Irine’s hair; stops after a few moments) Alright, I will get the water. (picks up the bowl and rag; goes to the bucket and scoops up water into the bowl) Irine (face turns towards Abigail) Oh, before I forget, while you were still outside getting the water, my father made an announcement that all of the servants must stay within the surrounding area of the base for a couple of days. Precautions need to be taken after the intrusion. Abigail (returns to the vanity with the bowl and rag) Will we move our base again? 68


Irine (turns back to the vanity) Not sure. My father has still not given information about that. Abigail (dabs the rag into the bowl of water) We might not have the time to move with how close the war is coming to an end. Irine (tips head upwards and closes eyes) You’re right. Captain Gavin Ludwick will have the information about tonight delivered to Queen Andrea by tomorrow morning. Abigail (starts to clean Irine’s face) How do you know him? I was actually surprised that you were able to recognize him earlier tonight. Irine I was actually engaged to him years ago when there had actually been good relations between the Beaumont and Ludwick families. We were supposed to form an alliance that would have made both of our families even more powerful and richer. I could still tell it was him even after all these years. Abigail (stopped cleaning Irine’s face) Oh, really? Irine (smiles) Yes, he had been my friend long ago when we were children. (frowns) But then we were separated because of the war with Queen Andrea and both of our families took separate sides. Abigail (started to clean Irine’s face again) You cared for him didn’t you? Irine Yes, he was my best friend. Now, though, I have a different opinion about him. 69


Abigail (stopped washing Irine’s face and put the rag back into the bowl) Different opinion? Irine (opened her eyes and turned her face towards Abigail) Yes, he’s been corrupted by the war just like my father. Abigail (grabs the bowl and carries it to the table) You really think that he’s been corrupted by the war? Irine (gets up and heads towards the bed) Who? My father or Gavin? Abigail (turns towards Irine) Both Irine (gets into the bed) Just like my father, Gavin has invested all of his time into this war. I am just grateful that I never ended up marrying him or I would have probably ended up just like my mother. Abigail (grabs the cup from the table and scoops water from the bucket) Maybe, but maybe not. You don’t know what may have happened if you did. You also don’t know about what his options might have been. (turns towards Irine and walks towards the bed) Irine (frowns) From what I can tell is that he could have abandoned the Ludwicks and come towards our side when the war started, but he didn’t. I mean, how could he mindlessly follow Queen Andrea? Abigail (places the glass of water on the nightstand) Just how you are still here, is the same as how he is still with his family. Maybe he’s just like you and me, following orders from our families, just thinking it to be natural. 70


(turns towards the door) Now, goodnight Irine. Irine (sighs) Goodnight, Abigail.

My rewrite is that Romeo and Juliet are going to die outside of the church at first they escape a fire that’s going to happen at the church where they get married and when they walked out of the church after their marriage. Then Romeo and Juliet both die because due to the smoke of the fire from the church. -------------------- {EXT: THE CHURCH - IN THE BUILDING - DUSK} Romeo (walks in the church to ask the priest to marry him and Juliet) Priest can you marry me and my darling fiance? Father My dear boy I can’t do that without your parents consent i'm sorry… Juliet (with a sad look in her face she tells the priest) Oh please I beg you marry us, if you think about it this would stop our families from fighting and all this can end.

Osceola Dragway. Night

Murcutio and Tybalt come forward and line up their cars. Murcutio ( Pulls up in the strip. smiles and revs his engine ) This is a 1000 HP Supra there’s no way your beating me, and those 250 thousand dollars are mine. Tybalt ( pulls up next to Murcutio laughs revs engine exhuast pops and crackles) Yeah this is a twin turbo ZO6 we’ll see about that Murcutio. Romeo ( Raises his hand ) You guys ready ? The one to go down this dragstrip which is a quarter mile wins the guys pink and the 250 thousand yall ready 3.. 2.. 1.. GO! 77


Murcutio ( Takes the lead and is in front of tybalt, bursts out laughing) I told you tybalt that little ZO6 had nothing on my Supra. Tybalt ( Starts to catch up to Murcutio ) Oh my little Murcutio the race isnt over yet my guy. Tybalt and Murcutio ( Both head to head Murcutio shifts into his last gear wins him by just a little gap ) Murcutio ( steps out his car ) ` You see i told you i had you. Tybalt ( steps out his car and hands him the pink to his car ) Yes you were right you got me good race and about me hating you i never did your alright. Romeo ( Hands him the 250k ) Good race boys! I got to give it to Murcutio you had him now you two better get out here before the police arrives. Murcutio & Tybalt ( both get in their cars and got out of there ) 78


INT. school cafeteria, the last passing period of the day The clock finally struck 3 o’clock and the loud and anticipating ring of the dismissal rung. One by one students begin to file out of their classrooms. There was a loud, but quiet, inaudible chatter filling the halls while everyone hustled to get home. After about five minutes the hallways finally clear, the chatter is gone, just dead silence. Meanwhile in the cafeteria, laughter could be heard. Romeo and his fellow senior friends were hanging out, spending quality time together by sharing jokes, snacks and funny memes amongst each other. Mercutio (throws french fries at his friends) This is getting boring, so let’s cause mischief. Benvolio (catches the french fry and eats it) Knock it off man before I jump across this table and beat you up. And you do know that we’re sitting at the Capulets table, right? If they show up, there’s bound to be trouble. Mercutio Oh please, you wouldn’t hurt a fly

79


Benvolio (stands up and walks over to Mercutio and snatches him out of his seat. He starts to fight with him playfully) That’s where you are wrong my friend. The group watches as the two fight, yelling words of encouragement to them. No one notices the Capulets enter the cafeteria except for Romeo. Romeo The Capulets are here! Mercutio So what? The group approaches the fighting pair with Tybalt leading them. They stop fighting and Mercutio whistles at Tybalt. Tybalt (speaking over his shoulder to this friends) Stay close behind me, I’ll do all the talking (turns to the Montagues) Gentlemen, good afternoon. I’d like a word with one of you.

80


Mercutio (takes a seat on a nearby table and whistles) Is that all? Just one word with just one of us? Let’s have a bit more than just one word. Add something to it: make it a word and a blow. Tybalt (speaks with slight anger in his tone) You’ll find me ready for that, Sir, if you give me any reason. Mercutio Couldn’t you find some reason? The others who weren’t involved in the conversation were relaxed, seeing that Mercutio was taking it as a joke, and they laughed. Tybalt’s face was grim, though. He took a few steps forward until he was standing just a yard from Mercutio, who was still whistling. Tybalt Mercutio, you consort with Romeo, Mercutio Consort? (stops whistling and looks at Tybalt for the first time) What, are you making musicians of us?

81


(stands and jumps off the table) If you make musicians of us don’t expect anything but discords. (clenches his fists and laughs manically) Here’s my fiddle bow. Here’s the thing that will make you dance. God almighty! Consorts! Mercutio had taken Tybalt by surprise so he stepped back and stood for a moment, undecided. Meanwhile Benvolio had a terrible feeling that in spite of Mercutio’s clowning it could develop into something nasty. Benvolio Look here, this is a public place. Either discuss it rationally or let’s go somewhere private. Or better still, let’s just go home. Tybalt (puts his fists up and stables himself) Men’s eyes were made for looking, I won’t budge for anyone. Romeo (begins to walk into the crowd) Benvolio! Mercutio!

82


Tybalt Well never mind, here comes my man. Mercutio I don’t see him wearing your uniform, if you think he’s your man then you’ll find out how right you are. Lead on to the dueling field and you’ll discover that he’s your man alright. Tybalt Romeo Romeo (turns to look at Tybalt) Yeah? Tybalt There’s only one thing I have to say to you. (Puts his fists up, challenging Romeo) You are a scoundrel. Romeo doesn’t know how to fight so he was taken aback by Tybalt’s actions.

83


Romeo Tybalt! I have good reasons for excusing this behaviour of yours. But don’t call me a scoundrel. I’ll say goodbye now. It‘s best to ignore you if you‘re going to be like this. He turned back to the crowd to the accompaniment of applause from his friends and catcalls from Tybalt’s followers. Tybalt This does not excuse the fact that you insulted me. Prepare to fight me now, or me and my fellow Capulets here will be more than happy to beat you into nothing. Romeo (puts hand out) Oh come on now, I’ve never insulted you: (his voice softens) I love you more than you can imagine. The crowd began to applaud again, but Mercutio, who had been nodding his approval until now, stopped smiling as he watched Tybalt ignore Romeo’s extended hand. He looked from the one to the other.

84


Romeo You’ll know the reason for my love very soon, and so, dear Capulet, whose name I respect as highly as my own, be patient till then. Tybalt stares at Romeo in deep confusion and anger. Since Romeo refused to fight him, he turned around and walked away. Mercutio (speaking to Romeo) How can you let him push you around like that? Submit to him if you like but I won’t. (turns to Tybalt) Hey Tybalt, you rat-catcher! You’re not leaving are you? Tybalt (stops dead in his tracks and turns around) Why? What do you want?

85


Mercutio You can disrespect me all you want, but what your not going to do is disrespect Romeo. You know he is not a fighter so the fact that you even tried to challenge him baffles me. (walks up to Tybalt and gets in his face) My dear king of cats, only one of your nine lives. I intend taking it from you and, depending on how you behave after that, beat the other eight with a stick. Will you be so kind as to draw your sword out of its scabbard by its ears? Hurry, if you please, or mine will be around your ears before you know it. Tybalt (smiles) Well Sir. (pushes Mercutio back with much force) I am for you. Romeo No! Please, please, Mercutio. Put your fists down, do not fight with him. Mercutio took up an exaggerated en garde position, which made his friends laugh. He was being foolish, as usual, but no-one was worried because they all knew that he was a very good fighter, while Romeo was the only one whose face showed concern.

86


Mercutio Come Sir, your passado. Tybalt came to a realization that Mercutio wasn’t serious about the fight when he backed away and tripped and fell onto a table, over exaggerating his movements and earning laugher from both the groups. Even Tybalt. But Romeo remained in distress. Romeo Help me, Benvolio! Make them stop it at once. Benvolio Oh no, this is way too funny. Loosen up dude, they’re just playing. Romeo I have a feeling that this won’t end well if we don’t stop them now. (approaches Mercutio and pulls him up) Come on, we’re leaving Mercutio (snatches out of Romeo’s grip) I’m not going anywhere. Sit back and enjoy the show, pretty boy. (pushes Romeo out of the way)

87


Mercutio charged at Tybalt and pushed him, Tybalt stumbled back and swung his arm and punched Mercutio in the face, giving him an opportunity to punch again in the stomach. The crowd grimaced and Mercutio bent over in extreme pain. He didn’t have much time to recover because he felt a knee come into contact with his face. Mercutio toppled to the floor in, the pain in his body increasing greatly, he wiped the drop of blood from his nose and looked up at Tybalt who was standing over him, looking like an evil dictator. Tybalt (laughs and taunts Mercutio) Come on, get up tough guy. Take one of my nine lives. A burst of unbearable rage took over Mercuto’s body, he stood as quickly as he could and let out a sound of anger. Mercutio You’re really asking for it, Capulet. After he spoke he ran towards Tybalt, catching him off guard because he was too busy laughing. He punched Tybalt square in the jaw, and once in the stomach. He went and kicked the back of his knee in and Tybalt fell to the floor. Mercutio kicked him in the face and as the boy fell back, he pounced on top of him.

88


Romeo Stop it! Mercutio, stop! You’re going to get hurt. Oh both of you stop now! The Principal has a zero tolerance rule for fighting! Don’t you remember? If you get caught you will get expelled, stop it! Mercutio did not listen. He began to punch the Capulet repeatedly in the face, using all of his strength. The crowd was cheering and yelling at the fighters, rooting for their favorite. Tybalt struggled as he reached for his pocket for his blade, but he succeeded. The crowd didn’t notice what Tybalt was doing but Romeo did. He jumped in the fight right when Tybalt was about to strike. He grabbed Mercutio boldly, pushing him down onto of Tybalt, causing the sharp blade to puncture his abdomen. Mercutio Ahh! Romeo pulled him away and Mercutio clung to him. Tybalt looked at Mercutio, then his blade with a shocked expression highlighting his features. He backed away slowly then turned around and ran, his companions following close behind. The remaining crowd began to celebrate Mercutio’s “victory” giving him rough pats on the back and ruffling his hair.

89


Boy 1 Good job man, you scared him off! Boy 2 The way you kicked his knee in was so cool! You really showed him who was the alpha. Romeo Thank God! That was scary, you could have gotten seriously hurt, Mer- Mercutio Stop it now! I’m hurt, I’m hurt. The crowd only laughed harder as he stumbled until his legs buckled and he fell. Benvolio Oh get up, you’re not really hurt are you? (turns to the crowd) Look at this man over reacting The crowd snickers at Benvolio’s comment.

90


Mercutio It’ not that bad, he just nipped me with his blade. (laughs weakly and stands up, but very unstable) Romeo Come on Mercutio, the cut can’t be that bad. Mercutio No, the cut is not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a church door. But it is enough: it will do. Ask for me tomorrow, and you will find me a grave man. Mercutio It’s not that bad, but it's enough. Where’s my page? Tell him to go and get the nurse. (walks up to Romeo and stares at him in a hazey state) Why didn’t you just stay back? He stabbed me when you grabbed me. Romeo W-what do you mean? (his voice fades) I was only trying to stop the fight. I-I didn’t know.

91


Mercutio (whispers with a hoarse voice) Benvolio, help me get to the nurse before I pass out. The crowd clapped as Mercutio raised himself up with his elbow. He began to make his way to the nurse and saluted them. He had only made it halfway through the cafeteria before he turned to speak again. Mercutio Both your houses! They’ve made worms meat of me, I’ve had it. Curse your houses. And with that, Mercutio finally collapsed to his death. The group rushed to his side and they were laughing until Romeo moved the dead man’s hand to reveal a fresh, deep cut. The crowd froze, their laughter came to a stop, some of them gasped. Benvolio He's dead. Oh Romeo, Mercutio’s dead!! Romeo No he’s not, it was just a scratch he said. He can’t be! (tears form in his eyes)

92


There’s going to be more of this, I can feel it. This is only the beginning. He killed my best friend! I’m going to kill him! Romeo starts to walk away to go after Tybalt but the group held him back. Romeo Let me go! He will pay for this! Get off me now! (pulls out of their hold) No one can hold me back. He chases after Tybalt with his friends close behind . EXT: Outside in front of the school in the parking lot As soon as Romeo spots Tybalt outside across the street from the school, he didn’t think twice as charged at him, grabbing Benvolio’s pocket knife in the process. Romeo Tybalt! You called me a scoundrel. Take it back! My best friend is dead all because of you! Either me or you will go with him! You killed him! You’re a murderer!!

93


Tybalt (smirks) You wretched boy, you’ll be the one to go with him if that is the case. Besides, he deserved to die, he thought it was a joke. Look where that got him, dead. D.E.A.D!! Romeo This will decide that. And with that they began to fight, a fight to the death. They both lost their balance at one point during the fight, but it was a test of physical strength as they punched and scratched and kicked each other. Romeo almost lost due to coming close to suffocation as Tybalt choked him and squeezed for dear life. But he struggled out of it and recovered. Now the parking lot was packed with people. Crowded. They all watched as the young men fought gruesomely. All the earlier humour and laughter had gone. This was a serious fight and even Benvolio didn’t try to stop it. Romeo was tired but he mustered up all his strength and as soon as he saw his chance he took it. He pulled out the blade and stabbed Tybalt right through the chest. He felt the weapon halt as it went through Tybalt's body and he saw Tybalt’s jacket begin to turn red. Then time seemed to freeze, it was as though nothing moved. He pulled his blade out and Tybalt fell. The fiery Capulet was dead before he touched the ground.

94


Boy 2 Oh my God. You killed him. (covers mouth with hands) Random woman Im calling the police! This guy just killed someone in broad daylight. (pulls out phone and dials the emergency number) Boy 1 Romeo get out of here before the cops come! What are you waiting for? Run!! Romeo was in shock so he just stared at his victim, who laid dead on the ground. In the distance sirens could be heard. Boy 3 Romeo run!! Romeo turns to run noticing that the police surrounded the scene in a “C� shape. He dashed for the opening and ran for his life.

95


Police Officer 1 Stop! Put your hands where I can see them. Romeo did not listen though, he ran fast and made it to the street where Benvolio was waiting for him in his car. He jumped into the car and yelled for him to step on the gas. Benvolio listened and sped off with the police close behind him. Romeo If we make to the next town they won’t be able to arrest me Benvolio Good thing Appleberry is right up here He pushed on the gas allowing the car to go faster, he wove through traffic and that slowed down the cops. Then they finally made it to Appleberry. Romeo (sighs) I made it. The two began to talk about all of the things that just happened and their conversation drowned out the radio as the radio host issued a lookout for their car.

96


EXT. The band is outside of Montague High The Montague High band competition ends today. They have beaten every school except for their rival. The final round is against them and everyone is riled up over it. Every student and parent would be attending and both bands are currently meeting up in the concert hall. Marco and Benjamin walk out of the school building. Groups of students are walking and talking amongst themselves. BENVOLIO I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire: The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl; For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring. MERCUTIO Thou art like one of those fellows that when he enters the confines of a tavern claps me his sword upon the table and says 'God send me no need of thee!' and by the operation of the second cup draws it on the drawer, when indeed there is no need. BENVOLIO Am I like such a fellow? MERCUTIO Come, come, thou art as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in Italy, and as soon moved to be moody, and as soon moody to be moved. BENVOLIO

97


And what to? MERCUTIO (Circling BENVOLIO) Nay, and there were two such, we should have none shortly, for one would kill the other. Thou! why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast: thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes: what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel? Thy head is as fun of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling: thou hast quarrelled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun: didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter? with another, for tying his new shoes with old riband? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling! BENVOLIO An I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee-simple of my life for an hour and a quarter. MERCUTIO (Throws his arms in the air) The fee-simple! O simple!

98


MARCO, BENJAMIN, and the band arrive to the concert hall. The band begins setting up their side of the stage. INT. The concert hall BENVOLIO By my head, here come the Capulets. MERCUTIO (Waving his hand in a dismissing manner) By my heel, I care not. TYBALT and his hoodrat friends enter TYBALT Follow me close, for I will speak to them. Gentlemen, good den: a word with one of you. MERCUTIO (Puts his hands on his hips all sassy-like) And but one word with one of us? couple it with something; make it a word and a blow. TYBALT You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion. MERCUTIO Could you not take some occasion without giving? TYBALT Mercutio, thou consort’st with Romeo,–

99


MERCUTIO gets in TYBALT'S face, trying to intimidate him MERCUTIO Consort! what, dost thou make us minstrels? an thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords: here’s my fiddlestick; here’s that shall make you dance. ‘Zounds, consort! BENVOLIO (Holding MERCUTIO back by his shoulder) We talk here in the public haunt of men: Either withdraw unto some private place, And reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. MERCUTIO (Pushing BENVOLIO away) Men’s eyes were made to look, and let them gaze; I will not budge for no man’s pleasure, I. ROMEO walks in and sees the group of people surrounding MERCUTIO and TYBALT. He begins to walk toward them TYBALT Well, peace be with you, sir: here comes my man. MERCUTIO But I’ll be hanged, sir, if he wear your livery: Marry, go before to field, he’ll be your follower; Your worship in that sense may call him ‘man.’

100


TYBALT (Crosses his arms) Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford No better term than this,–thou art a villain. ROMEO (Holds his hands up in a surrendering manner) Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeting: villain am I none; Therefore farewell; I see thou know’st me not. TYBALT (Smacks ROMEO’S hand away) Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw. Draw thy Guitar! ROMEO (Grabs TYBALT”S hand) I do protest, I never injured thee, But love thee better than thou canst devise, Till thou shalt know the reason of my love: And so, good Capulet,–which name I tender As dearly as my own,–be satisfied.

101


MERCUTIO (Pushes ROMEO out of the way) O calm, dishonourable, vile submission! Alla stoccata carries it away. MERCUTIO (Draws)

Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk? TYLER What wouldst thou have with me? ROMEO Gentle Mercutio, put thy guitar up. MERCUTIO Come, sir, your passado. MERCUTIO starts off by playing a little happy tune on his electric guitar. TYBALT follows it up by playing a louder, faster song. Pretty soon the audience is going crazy and MERCUTIO is winning. ROMEO Draw, Benvolio; beat down their instruments. Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage! Tybalt, Mercutio, the prince expressly hath Forbidden bandying in Verona property: Hold, Tybalt! good Mercutio!

102


ROMEO runs to stop MERCUTIO but trips over the cord connecting his guitar to the amp. MERCUTIO’S guitar goes flying out of his hands and smashes onto the ground. The entire crowd winces as ROMEO crashes into MERCUTIO and TYBALT’S band cheers. Somewhere on the way down MERCUTIO hit his head on the corner of something. He's on the ground and he isn't moving at all. BENJAMIN calls the paramedics while ROMEO stays by MERCUTIO’S side. ROMEO (Touches MERCUTIO’S forehead) I thought all for the best. Soon the paramedics arrive and pronounce MERCUTIO dead at the scene. EXT. The concert hall ROMEO This gentleman, the prince’s near ally, My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt In my behalf; my reputation stain’d With Tybalt’s slander,–Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my kinsman! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper soften’d valour’s steel!

BENVOLIO O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio’s dead! That gallant spirit hath aspired the clouds, Which too untimely here did scorn the earth.

103


ROMEO This day’s black fate on more days doth depend; This but begins the woe, others must end. BENVOLIO Here comes the furious Tybalt back again. ROMEO (Walking up to TYBALT) Alive, in triumph! and Mercutio slain! Away to heaven, respective lenity, And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! TYBALT crosses his arms ROMEO (Balls his hands into fists) Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again, That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company: Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. TYBALT (Getting ready to fight) Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, Shalt with him hence.

104


ROMEO This shall determine that. ROMEO and TYBALT begin fight. They’re both evenly matched but at some point Romeo gains the upper hand. He kicks the back on Tybalt's knee, sending him straight to the ground. Romeo Throws punch after punch until he realizes Tybalt isn't moving anymore. Or breathing. Benvolio notices and runs over to get romeo away, BENVOLIO (Trying to pull romeo away but he resists) Romeo, away, be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed: the prince will doom thee death, If thou art taken: hence, be gone, away! ROMEO (Looks up to the sky) O, I am fortune’s fool! BENVOLIO Why dost thou stay?

In a diverse world with both animals and humans where everyone is born with magic In a stone village where life runs on magic. Magic is used in daily life to make ease of everything. Such as lighting fires creating water; Most of magic is elemental magic. Most people only being able to use one type of magic, fighting with magic is prohibited with the penalty being jail.

There is nothing better than risking your life in battle Benvolio (With a straight face) I am tired of you and your denigration of me. The reason i speak for you is because of the strict rules that the prince has set in place between the factions

106


Mercutio (Mercutio with a blank face) Ahhh i see. (Mercutio putting his tiny head down to show his discern) I beg my pardon (raises his penguin head up) (starts slowly creating a fireball in his hand(flipper)) I care not for my execution only whether or not i feel my life is complete Battling is the best way to fill it. (launches the fireball at an empty stand) (small pieces of charred wood land everywhere) (townsman amazed at what magic strength shown from Mercutio) Benvolio (Benvolio slightly irritated) Watch yourself you’re causing a scene I fear even you won’t be able to escape the royal guards Mercutio (Mercutio looking away and up) Is that so (Mercutio and Benvolio walking next to each other away from the scene) Benvolio (Benvolio suddenly stops) Here come a capulet Mercutio (fire around him starts to emerge) (with a smirk on his face) Ready i am Tybalt (walks upon stage) (with an intense anger on his face) Why isn’t it the Montagues 107


Mercutio (the fire starts to die down) (Turn to benvolio) Why he wants to speak to us (laughs) Tybalt (with a straight face) It makes sense that you would have such rude manners With such a terrible master Mercutio (with with anger in his voice and yelling) I’D HAVE YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH IN FRONT OF ME Disrespect me again and we’ll duel with our lives Tybalt (laughing) To think someone could lack this much etiquette Mercutio (calmer than before) This is a second warning have a third and we will fight Benvolio (with discern) You need not a fight now. For i’m afraid that a battle will be your undoing This capulot isn’t worth the minimalist of time Only the weak seek out battle (realizing what he said) (staring at mercutio) Mercutio (staring back at him) Tybalt (with a clear face) You’re clearly mistaken (a surge of electricity flows from his head to the tips of his fingers ) If you fight me it will be the last you ever take part in 108


Mercutio (looking Tybalt dead in the eye) Oh I do doubt that Tybalt (Bolts electricity hit around tybalt) Benvolio (looking at the audience and residents) Maybe we should take this fight someone else ...less congested

Exterior- waterfall - Golden Hour Mercutio and Tybalt (standing across from each other) (Stretching) Benvolio (hesitating) Mm..Maybe this isn’t the greatest of ideas I feel as if we should grab a royal member To officiate the fight Mercutio (facing Benvolio) That damn family and their stupid rules.. In duels they put limiters on our magic (Rhetorically) Do you know what that means Benvolio (irritable) Of course i’m not an idiot! It means that you can’t be at your full strength It also means you’re less likely to kill each other Mercutio (confident) A battle to the death where nobody can see Sounds fun

109


Benvolio (with dead eyes looking at both) What comes, when it comes, will be what it is (proceeds to walk away and sit on a large boulder) Tybalt (looking at both of them) You think you can fight me one on one (laughing) [sudden silence] Mercutio and Tybalt dash toward each other Mercutio Slapping Tybalt with a his flipper Both hit each other in the face Tybalt tries to kick Mercutio round little body Mercutio dodges and headbutts him Tybalt flung backwards by the hit Tybalt stays on his feet Tybalt Angry Throws balls at mercutio as he starts running toward tybalt While dodging the balls of electricity Mercutio Throwing 5 balls of condensed fire back at tybalt However tybalt easily dodges Mercutio and tybalt 3 feet away from each other A huge bolt of lightning hits between them Mercutio flown backwards into a tree Creating an indention in the bark Mercutio feathers full of static Mercutio (cleaning the ash off his feather) That was fun Lets try that again Mercutio throws a wave of fire toward tybalt Tybalt dodges 110


Mercutio I LIKE TO SEE YOU DODGE THIS (mercutio takes both his flippers and aims in the air A single thin condensed flame appears Mercutio uses it to aim at tybalt Tybalt (electricity coming through his body) (with fear on his face attempts to dodge) The concentrated flame destroys everything behind it The ground scorched and trees around on fire Tybalt with electricity surging through him landing on his two feet tybalt entire left arm And his shirt burnt to a crisp (Tybalt) Tybalt healing his arm right away If i wasn’t enhance myself with my electricity and move i Would have clearly been dead Benvolio (to mercutio) Look at how fast his arm is healing i thought he only had one type of magic Mercutio Exhuasted Mercutio This is...perfect for his magic Electricity and healing to heal ..from the damage he does to himself Tybalt Bones and joint form Benvolio Damage to himself?

Mercutio jumping down using him flames as boosters slowing his descent Mercutio (confidently) Had enough? Tybalt This is only getting started (Tybalt stands perfectly fine) (Mercutio clearly exhausted) (and benvolio injured) Benvolio What are we doing we should end this before Something bad happens Mercutio Is that fear i hear If you don’t think.. that we can fight a capulot 2 on one.. we don’t deserve to be a montague The montagues are supposed to be the strongest of the-- Mercutio jumps in the air A bolt of lightning hits the water where mercutio and Benvolio were standing Benvolio is electrocuted and unconscious Tybalt (smirking) You guys talk too much Mercutio dashes forward using his flames to propel him forward TYbalt moves and kicks mercutio Mercutio engulfing his whole body in flames Tybalt with his burnt shins punches Mercutio and slams him into the ground so hard That the ground cracks 113

R&J Projec - gh Scen The Capulet’s are having a party at their home planet, Saturn. Balthazar is heading back home to Neptune when he hears the news. He immediately told Mercutio the news as soon as he got to Neptune resulting in Mercutio throwing a party the same day as well, but bigger and better so it can outshine the Capulet’s. They make sure to spread the word across the entire Galaxy and in order for their party to outshine the Capulet’s they decide to have it at the sun, where it is most visible. When the Capulet’s found out that the Montegue’s where having a party on the same day as theirs they were furious. Tybalt and a group of boys decided to fly to the Sun in a space shuttle and to confront Romeo, who Tybalt thought was in charge of throwing a party the same day as theirs. When they arrived at the Sun, Romeo had not yet arrived so Tybalt and Mercutio joked around a little bit until Romeo arrived. Then when Tybalt challenged Romeo to a duel, Romeo was trying to make a peace, but others thought he was making fun of Tybalt. Then Tybalt started insulting Romeo and Mercutio jumped in and challenged Tybalt to a duel. They fought by throwing jokes in and acting like clowns, but things escalated really quickly. Tybalt stabbed Mercutio in the stomach and the group he was with began to hurry him into their spaceship. Anger grew inside of Romeo and demanded a duel with Tybalt. This fight was very serious and furious. Then when Tybalt lost a hold of his weapon, Romeo’s lightsaber went right thru his chest and Tybalt died before he fell on the floor. Realizing the big mistake he did, Romeo hurried into a space shuttle and flew to the only safest place where he could be, Father Friars Church. INT.--BAR--NEPTUNE Aerial shot of the galaxy and zooming into the Montegue’s bar. The Montagues are sitting at the bar stools talking about the Capulets. Balthazar enters. BALTHAZAR (heads to greet them). Hello mates! MERCUTIO (opens his arms wide) Oh, Hello my friend it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Any news for me? BALTHAZAR Oh Yes, Sir. MERCUTIO Ok well then tell us! 118


Close up shot into Balthazar. Mercutio’s group of friends cheers and leans in to hear the news BALTHAZAR Well I was coming from Mercury when I heard on my way here that the Capulets were going to throw a party on Saturn and apparently they invited everyone except us, the Montagues. MERCUTIO (puts his hand on his chin) A party you say and they didn’t invite us. How rude… Crowd turns quiet and stares at Mercutio Medium shot towards Mercutio. MERCUTIO Well you know what I say? I lets throw one ourselves but bigger and better! CROWD (raises their beers and hoorays) Yea! MERCUTIO Let’s see where can we have it so it can outshine the Capulet’s… It has to be somewhere where everyone in the Universe will know about it. BALTHAZAR (quickly) I know! At the Sun. Everybody always gathers there and it will definitely outshine the Capulet’s. MERCUTIO Wonderful idea Balthazar then it’s settled, we will have it at the Sun tonight! MERCUTIO (Turns to look at his friends) Go on mates! Spread the Word I want to see the whole galaxy there!

119


CROWD (cheers and hustles out the door) Aerial shot of the crowd leaving the Bar. EXT.--PARTY--SUN The Establishing shot. The Montagues and other aliens were having an awesome time partying; dancing on the dance floor and drinking. Benvolio comes up to Mercutio. BENVOLIO (breathing rapidly) Mercutio, the Capulet’s spaceship is coming our way. What shall we do. Mercutio begins to dance very wildly on the dance floor MERCUTIO (chuckles) Well Benvolio let them be I’m sure they’re coming because they are envied of our party. Benvolio looks up to the sky and then back to Mercutio BENVOLIO (Gasps and breathes very rapidly) But Mercutio if they do step foot here there’s bound to be trouble. MERCUTIO (laughs out loud) Well then it’s time for this party to have a little entertainment don’t you think so? BENVOLIO (raises his voice) Absolutely not Mercutio we are to keep peace. The Low angle shot at the spaceship

120


The Capulets spaceship landed right in the middle of the party, Tybalt leading a group of aliens. Medium shot of Tybalt TYBALT (with a unfeared face) Stay right behind me boys. As Tybalt walks up to Mercutio, Mercutio continues to dance. TYBALT Nice dance moves Mercutio you consort with Romeo Mercutio stops dancing. MERCUTIO Consort you say? Do we look like musicians to you? Mercutio walked over to a table and stood on the top. MERCUTIO If you make musicians of us don’t expect anything but discords He pulls out his lightsaber that glowed up in red MERCUTIO (drew his lightsaber as to play a violin) Here’s my fiddle bow. Here’s the thing that will make you dance. God almighty! Consort! Low angle shot at Mercutio This took Tybalt by surprise and began to clench his hands. Benvolio watching him from behind Mercutio tried to keep the peace between Mercutio and Tybalt. BENVOLIO (talking rapidly) Guys please this is a public space. Either discuss it rationally or let’s

121


go somewhere private. Or better still, let’s just have fun at the party. Everyone’s looking at us. TYBALT (looking around the party) Eyes were made for looking,‘I won’t budge for anyone Then the men heard the rustling sound of a spaceship and Romeo and came out overjoyed to tell the good news of his marriage with Juliet to Benvolio and Mercutio. The wide/long shot towards Romeo ROMEO (running towards Mercutio and Benvolio) Mercutio! Benvolio! Good News! Tybalt turns around with a grin on his face. Tybalt (claps his hands together and looked at Romeo with disapproving arms) Just the man I was looking for. You are such a scoundrel. ROMEO Well hello to you too Tybalt. I have good reasons for excusing this behaviour of yours. But don’t call me a scoundrel. I’d be best if we both went our own separate ways. Close up at Tybalt TYBALT Are you insulting me now boy? Now a crowd has built up surrounding the men. ROMEO Oh, no Tybalt, I would never insulted you: I love you more than you can imagine.’ The crowd starts laughing.

122


ROMEO You’ll know the reason for my love very soon. And dear Capulet, whose name I respect as highly as my own, be patient till then. The crowd laughs even louder because of what Romeo said. Romeo outstanded his hand to shake Tybalt’s, however, he just stared at it in disbelief. Mercutio, who had a silent smile on his face quickly stopped when he saw that Tybalt wasn’t going to settle. TYBALT (spit on the floor next to Romeo’s hand) Love my name? In another world. Tybalt turned around and headed to his space shuttle. Mercutio then grew impatient and clenched his fists. Medium close up into Mercutio showing his fists. MERCUTIO (angry, loud tone) How can you let him disrespect you like that and not do anything about it? You might not but I surely will. BENVOLIO Mercutio, you are not thinking the things threw please don’t do it. No matter how much Benvolio pleaded to Mercutio to not start a dual, Mercutio wouldn’t give up so easily. MERCUTIO Hey Tybalt you booger picker! You’re not leaving are you? TYBALT What do you want Mercutio? MERCUTIO (kneels to the floor and bows his head) Oh your majesty, all I want is a fair dual with your royal highness The Crowd laughs and begins to mock Mercutio.

123


Close up shot to Tybalt. TYBALT (turns to look at the crowd) Well you guys want a show? A show you should have. You will be wishing you were still inside the egg your mother had before you were born Mercutio. Both Tybalt and Mercutio pull out their lightsaber. Mercutio’s glowing red and Tybalt’s glowing a royal blue. MERCUTIO We’ll see about that now won't we. ROMEO No Mercutio please please please put your lightsaber down. Don’t do this. Mercutio began to show off his clowning skills throwing backflips, swallowing water and spraying them all with a jet from his mouth. Everybody began to laugh at Mercutio’s wild actions including Tybalt when Mercutio stumbled over a rock and almost chopped his arm. Everyone was indeed enjoying the show all except for Romeo who was trying to keep them from fighting. Aerial Shot of the fight TYBALT ( making a circle in the air with his lightsaber) Alright Mercutio, let’s see how good you are. ROMEO No! The King has forbidden it in all the Universe. Mercutio and Tybalt kept fighting with their lightsabers ignoring Romeo’s advice to stop the fight. At one point Tybalt stumbled and lost hold of his weapon. Mercutio could have ended Tybalt’s life but Romeo went through the middle of Mercutio and Tybalt and tried to push Mercutio away from Tybalt. Although Romeo tried so hard to make sure nobody got injured, Tybalt got a hold of his lightsaber and stabbed Mercutio in the stomach under Romeo’s arm. Suddenly green blood started to come out of Mercutio’s wound. He covered it up fast enough so

124


nobody would know except Tybalt who felt how deep the weapon had gone into Mercutio’s body. Close up when Tybalt stabs Mercutio Mercutio (groaning) Ahhh!! ROMEO What’s wrong dear Mercutio, did Tybalt’s lightsaber hurt you. MERCUTIO (groaning in pain) No just a burn. The crowd began to laugh calling Mercutio names for being overdramatic. ROMEO Are you sure Mercutio? Crowd laughed even louder at how Mercutio was stumbling. Low angle shot Mercutio (standing up gasping for air) Oh for goodness sake. I hope you all die in flames! Curse you all! Mercutio stumbled to the ground. Romeo quickly put his arms around Mercutio before he fell and placed him slowly on the floor. Then Mercutio’s hand moved from his wound and Romeo saw the green blood rushing out. Romeo called for help but it was too late Mercutio’s heart stopped beating and died. When the crowd saw that Mercutio had died, the group of aliens Tybalt had arrived with began to hurry Tybalt into their spaceship. Anger grew inside of Romeo, his eyes began to water and his face quickly turned red full of anger. Wide shot at Romeo ROMEO (voice loud and angry) Where in all the Galaxys do you think you are going?

125


Tybalt and his group turns around and looks at Mercutio on the floor and Romeo walking rapidly towards them red and angry. ROMEO (eyes watery) It’s not over yet Tybalt. Mercutio is dead and you will meet him. TYBALT You are wrong little alien you’ll be the one to meet him wherever he has gone. ROMEO (bends down and picks up Mercutio’s lightsaber) We’ll see about that, now won't we. The fight was very serious and furious that nobody jumped in to try to stop the fight. There was no laughter or no horrays this was a fight to death type of fight. Romeo and Tybalt kept at it trying to stab each other with their lightsabers. Romeo was getting very tired but he summoned all of his strength. Then Tybalt lost a hold of his lightsaber and Romeo was walking towards him almost to the edge of the sun and stabbed him right in the stomach before Romeo had time to process what he had just done. Everyone stood still and became silent as if time had stopped.Mercutio fell of the sun and floated away without anyone able to help. The high angle shot BENVOLIO (running towards Romeo) Get up Romeo quickly run! Run before the Prince and their guards come and execute you! RUN! Romeo couldn’t move, realizing that he had just killed Juliet’s beloved cousin. Somehow, Benvolio managed to get Romeo up. Close up to Romeo ROMEO (Voice deep) Oh, no what have I done. Fate has destroyed me. O, I am fortune's fool! Benvolio quickly hurried Romeo into a spaceship and flew to the only safest place for Romeo, Father Friar’s church. Aerial shot zooming out.

We are doing the scene where Juliet's father breaks the news to Juliet that she will marry paris. Paris and Juliet's father, lord capulet are having a discussion on how Juliet is now ready to marry. Lord capulet tells Paris that he will talk to Juliet about the marriage and that it will happen. Lady capulet (trying to talk to juliet, who is in a puddle of tears) Honey i know you are sad of cousin but you need to cheer up, better things are coming. Romeo will suffer the consequences Juliet (crying) Paris and lord capulet are now speaking. Lord Capulet (in his business voice) Juliet is now old enough to marry, are you still taking the offer? Do you still want to marry my dear daughter Juliet? Paris (smiling) Yes. i do still want you daughter to be my wife, shes is everything i want. I will love her forever. Lord capulet I will go tell her the news that she will soon be married to my good friend Paris. Lady capulet runs down the stairs to tell lord capulet that juliet will not stop crying over cousin. Lord capulet runs up the stairs with lady capulet right behind him. 131


Lord capulet (storms into Juliet's room) You will marry paris whether you like it or not. Juliet (with tears in her eyes) Why not my opinion matter? I do not want to marry that man whoever he is. Lord capulet (yelling) YOU ARE GOING TO MARRY HIM. END OF DISCUSSION. And if you refuse you will die and starve in the streets of the city. You will not be my daughter no more. Juliet (having a tantrum, throwing stuff) Mother you shall help me, you see how much i am disrought from what father is to expect of me. Lady capulet (with mean intentions) Do not speak to me of such nonsense. Juliet (still having a tantrum) I DO NOT WANT TO MARRY THAT MAN. Lord capulet and lady capulet leave the room with anger. Juliet (crying) Nurse what shall i do, i love romeo i cannot do this to him. 132


Nurse (trying to keep juliet calm) What good is romeo if he is dead. What good is he if he cannot do anything for you. He is banished from the land that we live in. Juliet (screaming) I love romeo, he is my heart, my other half, i cannot give up on him. He needs me the most right now, and I cannot be there for him due to the beef between our two families. Nurse (holding juliet in her arms) You should listen to your parents. Paris is a good man, good looking, wealthy, and is very close to the family. Juliet (trying to stay calm, with sneaky intentions look) I will do as they say. Nurse (smiling) Im glad you came to your senses, he is a good man, and will treat you well. Juliet (with a smirk on her face) I will respect as what my father wants of me Nurse (trys to be friendly) Come here my love, give me a hug 133


Juliet (pushing away) Do not touch me, you betrayed me, you do not care of what i want. Nurse (only trying to be nice) I only want whats best for you. Romeo is not here, he cannot do anything to prevent this from happening. Juliet (trying to stay calm) I will always love romeo, he is for me. My person. Despite our differences, and or families we are meant to be together. Nurse (trying to understand) I know sweetie. You will find each other in another life, or in this one.

134


I recreated father lawrence's scene when he makes a plan with juliet that she is going to die for 24 hours. In this version father lawrence is a doctor,but he is the bestfriend of juliet. Juliet is crying to father lawrence about having to marry paris. Father lawrence says he can go back to his job and get a shot that will put juliet to sleep for 24 hours. Juliet goes with the plan because she thinks father lawrence will tell romeo. INT FATHER LAWRENCE HOUSE- MIDDAY Juliet goes to father lawrence's house , because he is her best friend , and cries to him because she has to marry paris tomorrow. JULIET (crying) Oh, Lawrence what will i do? What shall i do? FATHER LAWRENCE. (looking concerned) It will be okay juliet. Do not cry about it you will be okay. JULIET You're no help, what shall i do? FATHER LAWRENCE. I can't do anything juliet, you'll just have to marry him. JULIET There isnt something at your job that will knock me out, just help!! FATHER LAWRENCE (looking shocked) I cant juliet. I will get in trouble JULIET Please im crying out to you please!!! FATHER LAWRENCE I can try juliet, but if i get in trouble, you owe me. INT DOCTORS OFFICE- MORNING

135


Its the next day, Father Lawrence went into his job, and goes to a lab in the back. He goes to the lab, and grabs two medications. He takes the medication and mixes them, he stuffs them in his lab jacket. While walking out someones is curious on why he is in the back, when nobody needed to get medication. In this scene a doctor talks to father lawrence because he is suspicious. DOCTOR Hey what are you doing in here, nobody is supposed to be here. FATHER LAWRENCE (looking confused) Uhmm, I thought I left something in here, I'm sorry. (He walks past the doctor, out the door) In this scene, Father Lawrence goes to Juliet’s house to give her the shot of medication. The shot, knocks out Juliet immediately. Father Lawrence calls Juliet parents, and tell them he came and checked on her, and he saw her dead. The family immediately plans a funeral for Juliet. INT JULIET HOUSE- MIDDAY Father Lawrence goes to knock on Juliet’s door. She answers immediately. JULIET OH! I am so happy you came. Do you have it !? FATHER LAWRENCE Yes, please let me come in. JULIET (lets Father Lawrence in) Give me it please. Father Lawrence gives her the shot. It takes 30 minutes to knock Juliet out. Father Lawrence calls Juliet's parents and tells them that Juliet is dead

136


FATHER LAWRENCE

(calls the King and Queen) I came to juliet's house and she is dead.

QUEEN Omg I am on my way! Don't Leave. FATHER LAWRENCE Okay Juliet's parents come to her house and see her dead. She calls the police right after. They arrange the funeral. EXT JULIET'S FUNERAL- MIDDAY PRIEST We are here to celebrate the life of Juliet. She was a great person. Everyone loved her. QUEEN OH NOOOOO! My Juliet!!! WHYYYY KING Oh what shall I do about Paris. The King walks over to Paris while he is at the funeral. PARIS (crying) Oh father what shall I do now. KING We will find somebody for you. PARIS I hope so sir Paris then walks over to the body of Juliet. PARIS (touches the hand of Juliet) Oh, you were going to be my wife

137


Father Lawrence is at the funeral and he tells somebody to deliver the message to Romeo. Father Lawrence one of Romeo's friends are there and the might go tell Romeo that Juliet is dead. He tells the messenger to hurry. While the messenger is delivering the message for Father Lawrence, Romeo's friend gets there before him. **** I remade the death scene. In my version of the death scene Juliet wakes up. Romeo goes to see Juliet, where he finds Paris, Paris doesnt let Romeo in, and says he has to fight him to see Juliet. Romeo ends up killing Paris.

Romeo has returned to the streets of Verona and word of his arrival spread to the Capulets. The rage compelled the Capulets to storm into a city-wide manhunt. They are riding all throughout the streets of Verona with the intention of finding Romeo and ending his life. Romeo and Balthasar feel the heat of immense pressure from the Capulets which rushes their purpose of getting Romeo to Juliet. Balthasar and Romeo arrive at the graveyard where Juliet is located and Romeo then tells Balthasar to leave, so he wouldn’t get caught by the Capulets. Romeo finally gets to the tomb where Juliet’s motionless body lays. He is torn by the tragedy that fills him with agony and pain. Romeo was just about to end his own life to be with his Juliet when he feels a movement by his hand. Juliet is alive! Romeo is in great confusion and wonders what has caused such a miracle to take place, but there is no time to ponder, for Romeo knows of the stampede that is headed their way. Juliet quickly explains the cause of her revival and credits Friar Lawrence for the unimaginable scheme. They decide to head to Friar’s church to lay low until the tension burns down, but suddenly as they make their way out of the tomb, Paris stands there in shock! Paris had come to secure the tomb and was in total disbelief when seeing Juliet was alive and breathing. Then, Paris turns to Romeo who stands alongside Juliet and immediately, Paris becomes enraged. Out of a swift reaction, Paris raises his sword in which Romeo jumps in front of Juliet, and pulls his own sword out. Paris and Romeo are battling one-on-one until Romeo hesitates and stumbles in the dark, giving Paris the opportunity to strike his sword through Romeo’s heart! Juliet breaks out in tears and wails while running towards Romeo’s limb and bloody body. Paris is startled that Juliet would comfort the enemy, but says nothing and only stares in bewilderment. Juliet then finally stands up and commands Paris to end her life too. Paris refuses and tries to plead with Juliet to get her to come back to the city with him. Heartbroken, Juliet does the unthinkable and pulls the sword out of Romeo’s heart and lunges it into her own chest. Romeo and Juliet, right alongside each other, have shared the weapon that finished their lives, however, they would spend the rest of their eternity in the afterlife together. Ext. Streets of Verona/Capulet Tomb - Night Through an aerial shot, the audience can see the Capulets go on a city-wide manhunt for Romeo. The shot then zooms in to Romeo as he and Balthasar arrive at the graveyard, right outside of Juliet’s tomb. ROMEO (descends from the horse and looks at Balthazar) Why I descend into this bed of death, Is partly to behold my lady’s face; But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger A precious ring, a ring that I must use In dear employment: therefore hence, be gone: But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry

146


In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs: The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea. Shouts and horse hooves are heard from afar. BALTHAZAR I will be gone, sir, and not trouble you. ROMEO (grabs the crowbar, glances at the vault, and looks back at Balthazar) So shalt thou show me friendship. Take thou that: Live, and be prosperous: and farewell, good fellow. Balthazar abandons the graveyard and rides off into the dark ROMEO (grunts while attempting to open the vault with a crowbar) Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death, Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth, Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open, And, in despite, I’ll cram thee with more food! Romeo opens the vault and walks into the tomb Int. Capulet’s Tomb - Midnight Through an establishing shot, Romeo is entering the tomb with a fire lit torch in hand. He walks cautiously towards Juliet’s stone. Romeo places the torch on a wall-mounted sconce then leans over Juliet’s motionless body. ROMEO (takes Juliet’s hand while stroking her hair) A grave? O no! a lantern, slaughter’d youth, For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes This vault a feasting presence full of light. Romeo ascends onto the tomb, aside from Juliet. He shifts to his side and embraces Juliet’s body in his arms. 147


ROMEO (holds Juliet against his body) A lightning before death: O, how may I Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife! Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty: Thou art not conquer’d; beauty’s ensign yet Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, And death’s pale flag is not advanced there. (Romeo glances at Tybalt’s lifeless body) Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet? O, what more favour can I do to thee, Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twain To sunder his that was thine enemy? Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet, Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe That unsubstantial death is amorous, And that the lean abhorred monster keeps Thee here in dark to be his paramour? For fear of that, I still will stay with thee; And never from this palace of dim night Depart again: here, here will I remain With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death! (Romeo kisses Juliet) Romeo then lowers Juliet and takes out the lethal poison from his pocket and lifts it, ready to drink it in one go. A close up shot displays the small bottle of poison. ROMEO (stares into the strange liquid within the bottle) Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! 148


Here’s to my love! (suddenly, Juliet moves her hand slightly) There is an extreme close up shot of the twitch that occurs in Juliet’s hand Romeo stops the poison from continuing to move further toward his mouth as he notices the slightest movement from the corner of his eye. He immediately looks back down, wide-eyed as his expression demonstrates that something has happened. This shot is taken through the Dolly Zoom as it seems that Romeo’s understanding has been flipped. (Juliet wakes) ROMEO (cups his hand to Juliet’s cheek) Forswear, it sight! For I ne’er Knew great miracles could occur! JULIET (smiles and slowly puts her arms around Romeo) O Romeo! My dear Romeo! Thee art here to rescue me from a timeless death. ROMEO (kisses Juliet and hugs her tight) I hear some noise. My Juliet, come from this nest We must hurry, for the Capulet men stir and come as they are looking for me! JULIET (Sets her arms down and begins to get off the tomb) Then we must part away to avoid capture. We must not stay to question but away instantly. Romeo and Juliet run to the tomb entrance while holding hands EXT. CAPULET GRAVEYARD - DAWN A medium camera shot displays Paris as he approaches the tomb. Paris is heading toward the tomb with flowers in hand and the intention of visiting Juliet’s tomb. PARIS (inspecting the flowers in hand) Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew,- O woe! Thy canopy is dust and stones;- Which with sweet water nightly I will dew, Or, wanting that, with tears distill’d by moans: 149


The obsequies that I for thee will keep O, Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. Paris then hears some noise and hides behind a nearby tree. Paris recognizes the voice of Romeo. PARIS (tightens fist) (aside) This is that banish’d haughty Montague, That murder’d my love’s cousin, with which grief, It is supposed, the fair creature died; And here is come to do some villainous shame To the dead bodies: I will apprehend him. EXT. OUTSIDE THE CAPULET TOMB - DAWN Romeo and Juliet are outside with the intention to head to Friar Laurence's church to hide while the heat from the Capulets dies down. Romeo hears a noise and looks around. Unexpectedly, Paris shows up and sees that Romeo and Juliet are alive and together. ROMEO (gasps) Who’s there? PARIS (comes forward) Stop thy unhallow’d toil, vile Montague! Can vengeance be pursued further than death? (unsheathing his sword) Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee: Obey, and go with me; for thou must die. ROMEO (steps back) I must indeed; and therefore came I hither. Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man; Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone; Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, Put not another sin upon my head, By urging me to fury: O, be gone! By heaven, I love thee better than myself; For I come hither arm’d against myself: Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say, 150


A madman’s mercy bade thee run away. Paris then notices Juliet is standing alongside Romeo. A dolly zoom focuses on Paris’s reaction to seeing that his fiance is alive and not actually dead. PARIS (gasps) O Juliet! My fiance! I am lapsed! How is it that thou are breathing? Come with me, for we shall part from this vile man And thee ought to tell thy parents. JULIET (shoos hand away) Go, get thee hence, for I will not away with thee. I abhor thy proposal and I leave thee to perpend. PARIS (steps forward) Wherefore thee with vile Montague? (extends arms forward) I am wall-eyed of thy response. Art thee in coil in force of cunning Montague!? PARIS (extends his sword towards Romeo) I do defy thy conjurations, And apprehend thee for a felon here. ROMEO (extends arms out) Wilt thou provoke me? Then have at thee, boy! (pulls out his sword) Romeo and Paris fight. Juliet is yelling and sobbing on the side of the scene. The noise from the manhunt is getting louder as they advance closer to the tomb. JULIET (falls to her knees) O Lord, please halt the vindictive fight! For I cannot bear to watch the mad quarrel. 151


Romeo and Paris fight until Romeo stumbles and is confronted with Paris’s sharp sword. Romeo falls and Juliet rushes towards him. Paris stands still while Juliet comforts Romeo in his last moments. ROMEO (touches his wound) O, I am slain! (falls) JULIET (wails) Nooo! Not my brave and honest Romeo! (runs towards Romeo’s body and falls to her knees) ROMEO (gasps) O my love, my Juliet. Let me live my last breath with the touch of thy soft lips of light crimson color Thus with a kiss I die! (Juliet and Romeo kiss) (Romeo dies) JULIET (sniffs) Thy lips are warm. PARIS (touches Juliet’s shoulder) I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep: Come, come away. The Montague in thy bosom there lies dead JULIET (shifts away from Paris’ reach) NO! Thou have killed my love with no mercy! I am filled with pure agony from my loss And tax thee of murder and I have perpended. (looks Paris in the eye) I command thee to take my life too For my love and I will be together still! 152


PARIS (gasps) Wherefore thee ask such zany adjure of me? I cannot and will not undergo such A mad fate for my fair Juliet. A final tear runs down Juliet’s rosy cheek. Juliet stands above Romeo’s limb body and pulls out the sword that has severed his heart. JULIET (looks up) I dare no longer stay. Yea, noise? then I’ll be brief. O happy sword! JULIET (pulls sword from Romeo’s heart) This is thy sheath; (holds out the sword to her chest) PARIS (runs forward and holds out his hand for Juliet) Nooo! Make not the regretful choice to die. JULIET (stabs herself) there rust, and let me die. Adieu! Juliet falls onto Romeo’s body and they lay in a red pool of their own blood. Paris begins to cry and falls to his knees. The watchmen arrive to the scene and discover what has happened. The prince is hurried to the scene where he proclaims that the story of Romeo and Juliet brings upon a woeful peace to the atmosphere of Verona. FIRST WATCHMAN The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard: Go, some of you, whoe’er you find attach. Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain, And Juliet bleeding, warm, and newly dead, Who here hath lain these two days buried. Go, tell the prince: run to the Capulets: Raise up the Montagues: some others search: We see the ground whereon these woes do lie; But the true ground of all these piteous woes 153


We cannot without circumstance descry. Second Watchman Here’s Romeo’s man; we found him next to Juliet. PRINCE A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. PLAY ENDS An aerial shot zooms out from the establishing shot to display the city of Verona as the early sun rises.

My rewrite makes everything different from the actual romeo and juliet because for the death scene I had them survive. In the real movie they both die together. They survive in my re write. At the end the church caught on fire because of all the candles but Romeo and Juliet survived. -------------------- {EXT: THE CHURCH - IN THE BUILDING - DUSK} Friar Lawrence (Humming while fixing his garden.) Why where is Friar John. I’m getting very impatient for him to get back and tell me the news. Friar Lawrence (Sees Friar John walking up to the church) Finally! Did you deliver the letter? Why were you gone for so long? I was getting impatient. Friar John (Shaking his head looking down) I haven’t delivered the letter. I’m afraid one of our Friar’s was visiting Verona and I went to visit him. I’ve just got out, and I’m on my way to Mantua now. Friar Lawrence Oh well, never mind, As long as my letter got there. Who took it then?

164


Friar John (Rummaging among the folds of his habit and took out a crumpled letter.) No-one, Here it is. I couldn’t get anyone to deliver it. They were too scared of catching something. Friar Lawrence (Feeling nervous as he paced around the church) Oh hell! If only you had known It was the most important letter. God, that’s done it. Friar John, go and get a crow-bar and bring it straight to me. ‘Run!. Friar John (Hurried off to get the letter to Romeo) I have to get there fast! Friar Lawrence He whispered to himself, I will have to go to her on my own and wait. Juliet will be very mad if Romeo doesn’t receive the letter.

165

A security guard of the church (He was Shocked as he was walking slowly into the church, seeing Friar Lawrence standing by Juliet’s body.) What must you be doing here at this time? Friar Lawrence (Confused as he turned around, trying to come up with a lie in his head) I miss Juliet. I was just coming to see her one last time.

166


Security Guard (Having feelings of confusion) I don’t believe you. Come with me now. He said as they were walking to the Capulet’s house. {EXT: CAPULET’S HOUSE- VERONA- DUSK Friar Lawrence (Thoughts were racing through his head) He frantically said I can’t come here. I need to go now. Security Guard (Shaking his head as he was laughing quietly, looking at him) As if I care. Keep walking and don’t go anywhere. He said as they stopped at their destination of the Capulet’s house. Security Guard (Was walking up to the Capulet’s door) Don’t move. You will be greatly punished if you do. Friar Lawrence (Standing there waiting for Juliet’s dad to open the door) I can’t stay. I need to go. Something very bad will happen if Romeo finds Juliet.

He says to himself and hopes Romeo comes soon. Romeo (Parking his car and walking into the capulet tomb) Oh no! Juliet?! What happened to my wife? He says in a frantic way looking at Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence (Sighs in relief because Romeo is there) Do not worry. She is fine, I had her take a potion so you both will live happily together. Romeo (Having feelings of confusion as he scratched his head) What? What kind of potion?

169


Friar Lawrence (Standing up from where he was sitting by Juliet) I can’t explain now, I have to go or I will be in great trouble. Just don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do. Romeo (Watching Friar walk out of the church in a hurry, and then goes and lies next to Juliet) My juliet, when will you wake up. Please try to wake up soon. Romeo says to her as he wipes her hair out of her face. Romeo (Looks around the church at all the candles) So everyone thinks your dead? What will we do after this? He says to Juliet, who’s still out of it. Just hoping she’ll hear him. Juliet (Regaining consciousness as she moves her fingers) Romeo (Sees her hand moving and eyes fluttering) Juliet, He says as he takes her hand in his.

It is in present time Las Vegas Romeo goes to see juliet and has his talk and then she starts to wake up so he drops the poison and juliet gets up and slips and falls and dies that way. So romeo gets killed by the guards. When Romeo leaves Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence. When she gets there she starts crying and is trying to kill herself but Friar Lawrence come up with a plan that could help Romeo come back and get Juliet. His plan was to make some kind of drug that would let her sleep breathless for 24 hours, then he would send a letter out to Romeo so that he could come back and find Juliet and take her to Las Vegas. Since she looked dead no one would go searching for her. So juliet went home that night and she took what Friar Lawrence gave to her and she fell asleep. The next morning friar lawrence went to send the letter to romeo before the funeral. But the place he took it was backed up so it was going to take longer then expected. Romeo's servant balthasar flew out to romeo and told him that he seen Juliet dead at her funeral. But Balthasar get to romeo before the letter from friar lawrence. So romeo goes to find a drug that could kill him. The drug he got was liquid and there was a lot of it. So romeo went out to see juliet one last time and to kill himself by her side. When he got there he was talking and saying he loves her and saying he sorry for having to leave and for killing tybalt. But right before he was going to kill himself juliet woke up and yelled at him. Since she yelled so loud the guards outside heard it and they came rushing inside. So in a hurry juliet jumps up and romeo drops the poison he had. When juliet started to run she slipped and fell, and when she fell she hit her head on the stone table she was laying on. When she did that she cracked her head open and she laid there and died. Then romeo ran back and laid there and cried for a minute or two and then the guards come in and kill romeo since they seen him. Int. FRIAR LAWRENCE HOUSE In Friar Lawrence's office, he has a big brown desks with papers all over it, books left open are left all over his room, the trash is overfilled with crumbled up pieces of paper. On the floor there are papers all around his desk and a big rug. And there is a big bookshelf with one of the shelve crooked with books falling, and a big couch next to it. There is very little light because there is big shades covering the windows. Juliet comes running in and bust open the door and lays down on the couch. Juliet (reaches for her bag) Don’t give me the whole story just tell me what to do (pulls a knife out of her bag, and raises it above her head) If you cant help me then i will help my self 173


Friar Lawrence (jumps towards juliet and grabs the knife) You can not kill yourself, i will come up with a plan (walks away to his desk open a book and starts reading) Juliet (walks over and sits on the couch) So what is your great plan you have Friar Lawrence (looks up annoyed) Give me a minute, i need to find a recipe for a drug Juliet (looks scared at him and says shakedy) Drugs Friar Lawrence (gets up and grabs his book) You will fall asleep for 24 hours and i will send a letter to romeo to come get you, and since you are dead no one will go out searching for you. So you and romeo can take you back to Las Vegas to live there with him. (starts walking out the door) Follow me Juliet (gets up) Where are we going Friar Lawrence (walking) To my lab Int.

The Death of Two Star Crossed Lovers Synopsis In my version of the death scene neither Romeo or Juliet kills themselves but everyone must die. Everyone as in Friar, Paris, Romeo, and Juliet. The thing that may surprise you the most though, is how everyone died. As a little spoiler, lets just say Friar got executed, Paris got pierced, and Romeo and Juliet, yea… The basics are still the same just with a twist that’ll make you cry. A pair of star crossed lovers lives are taken. From what you may hear in this small city of Verona, everyone will say that they took their own lives, but this here is the true story along with the major cover up. Here lies the evidence that will break your understanding of what exactly happened in the small church where Juliet was presumed dead. Welcome to Verona, where love can bring either death, or hatred. Oh, yeah… Mercutio has a brother named Rubio not that it matters or anything. INT. THE CHURCH - NIGHT

In the old church that hasn’t been touched since the 1500s, where the rain drips through the cracks in the roof, and the door squeaks as it slowly opens. Along with the cracked worn down brown paint on the wall, with the brightly colored religious picture hanging on the wall lies juliet as dead as a dinosaur, but as woke as a sleeping man. (Romeo enters by kicking in the door) Romeo (Sobbing, unholstering his gun) “My poor juliet, what have you done to deserve such punishment” “I SENT FRIAR TO PROTECT YOU, I TOLD HIM TO LOOK AFTER YOU!” (Friar enters) Friar Lawrence (Eager to wake up Juliet) Oh, Romeo what are you doing here so early? Did you get my letter? Romeo (Pointing the gun at Friar, wiping his tears) I told you to look after her The love of my live is gone because of you! MY WIFE! And all you care about is a letter Friar Lawrence No, my dear Romeo you don't understand She’s not dead, she’s sleeping

199


Romeo ( Turning red with anger) Are you seriously making jokes about my wife's death right now? You trader ! Do you even care that my wife is dead Friar Lawrence (Reaching in his jacket for the fake poison bottle, angry) No, I don't Your wife isn’t dead She’s simply not breathing, at all Romeo ( Looking at the empty poison bottle) You killed my wife ? After all that I’ve told you Romeo gets closer to Friar Lawrence Friar Lawrence Please, my dear Romeo can you calm down? It’s not what it looks like Romeo puts the gun to Friar Lawrence’s head Romeo It’s exactly what it looks like You killed my wife Now i must kill you An eye for an eye right? Juliet awakens Juliet (Quiet, trying to reach for the gun) Rom... Romeo shoots Friar Lawrence directly in his head EXT. THE CHURCH - MORNING Paris, outside guarding the tomb of his beloved wife, hears a shot ring out from the inside of the church. INT. THE CHURCH - MORNING After hearing the shot Paris rushes inside to find Friar Lawrence dead on the cold, cracked, cement floor. Paris goes farther into the church to see who would have done such a thing. Every person who has been murdered has a killer, but this killer is no ordinary killer. This killer is a boy, a boy who is so blinded by his own love for someone that he’d kill for it.

200


Paris (Extremely confused) What type of evil person would kill a poor old man? What was this man doing here at such an early time? How long has he been here? Why must every die, in a world where there is so much love? Paris notices a dark figure standing over Juliet and immediately pulls out his gun. Paris wondered how these people got into his wife’s tomb, and what exactly they were doing there, but to his surprise he knew this figure very well. Paris walks closer to where the mysterious figure and his beloved fiance are positioned Paris (Coughs to get Romeo’s attention) Romeo.. What are you doing here at such an early time? With my dead fiance ! Romeo Your fiance ? Do you know how long her and I have been married ? Were in love and you still don't understand that ? After all of the time that we’ve been together ? ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK ? Paris Are you delusional ? Lord Capulet gave me his blessing and we we’re supposed to be married today My dear Juliet also agreed that we should be married Juliet is still awake, her mind drifting away, only focusing on the water dripping in through the cracks in the churches ceiling. Click, click, click, falling onto the church floor. Juliet is currently in the process of waking up, she starts to feel her lips again, along with her arms and legs.

201


Romeo (Filled with rage, enough to power a million solar panels) SHE DID WHAT? In what world would the love of my life marry someone else ? Paris Uhh.. Sorry to give you this news, but you killed her cousin ! She loved her cousin Her cousin was like her guardian angel and you took him from her If that doesn’t convince you, who knows what will Paris and Romeo are both extremely angry and confused but this is how things play out sometimes. Both of them have guns pointed at each other but neither of them will make it out of this situation. Paris, in front of the church doors has exactly 5 bullets loaded in his magazine, while Romeo in front of Juliet only has 2. Paris isn’t really a killer, he’s more feminine than masculine, so the amount of bullets that’ll actually hit is unknown. Like everything else in Romeo and Juliet's life, this happened fast ! Paris shot his gun 3 times and missed, with only two bullets left he tries to make romeo use all of his bullets to make the fight uneven. Paris (Shaking) Ha ! You couldn’t hit me even if I was standing still Romeo Stand still, so we can find out Whoever is last alive can have Juliet Romeo shoots twice, one hit Paris in his leg, while the other went through the door of the church. Paris (In a large amount of pain) #*#* *BEEP* You little #&%$ Romeo Why must love always end in death And why must thou who falls in love

202


Be thou who must die It's like falling in love with a gun that you can only use to kill yourself Or a knife that can only hurt you Romeo has a flashback Mercutio (Finally being helpful) If love be rough with you, be rough with love If it pricks you like a thorn, causing you pain Stick it back If you do this, eventually love will collapse under your aggressive response Romeo didn’t necessarily understand this flashback but he knew that he had to do something to make love fall into his path, letting him lead the way. That something was something that he wouldn't regret either.. Romeo must kill Paris, but his gun is empty and who knows how many bullets Paris has left over. Paris (Still bleeding out) Are you done talking to yourself ? Or are we going to waste another hour of my life ? I mean i'm okay with dying At least you won't be able to bother me and juliet in the afterworld Romeo (Laughing at Paris’s Humor) You really think that she’d want to spend a million years with you? Paris (Shocked by Romeo’s Response) Well, actually I do Me, Juliet, and Tybalt will live a wonderful life in the afterworld Where there is no death Where there is no fate And definitely where there is no Romeo Juliet thinking to herself

203


Juliet (Lost in her own thoughts) Should I wake up and tell my dear Romeo I’ve missed him Or shall I break up this very angry disagreement between the both of them Oh I’ve missed my dear Romeo so much And O’ Tybalt No Tybalt… There is no Tybalt, because of Romeo But Romeo and I are married How dare I speak down on my husband, who mistakenly killed my cousin Was it even a mistake on his part My love for Romeo is as much as my love for myself Maybe even more than that How shall I love someone more than I love myself Or care for someone more than I care for myself Romeo There is no place where this is no Romeo There is no world where you’ll be with Juliet There is no getting rid of your fate There is no place where someone can live wonderful How shalt thou live somewhere wonderful in a world full of hatred Romeo and Paris both heard the guards coming and hid literally an inch away from each other, the guards found the rock that Romeo used to get inside of the church and went inside to see if everything was okay with Juliet's tomb. The guards have shifts every other hour, but it turns out they shouldn’t even be called guards because they weren't guarding anything at all, they were not even there. Romeo and Paris went close enough to touch noses, but neither of them made a sound. INT. CHURCH - Behind Juliet’s Casket - NIGHT Paris (Frustrated by Romeo) You shouldn't even be here I thought you were banished from Verona They’ll kill you if I don't kill you first

204


My wife has nothing to do with you ! There is no possible way that she married you She’d rather be tied up and thrown off the balcony Paris being extremely loud alerted the guards and they found both Paris and Romeo, Paris had 2 bullets left in his gun so he used them. Paris shot the guard once in his chest and saved the last bullet for Romeo. Paris (Pointing his gun at Romeo) Sorry that a mother must lose her child today Sorry that a best friend will gain his friend again Sorry that one of us must die tonight Sorry that you’ll never get to see Juliet again I'm sorry that I feel sorry for you Romeo You shouldn't feel sorry for me If you must kill me, do as you wish But if you do dare to miss, your life will soon no longer exist INT. CHURCH - In front of the casket - NIGHT Romeo, not frightened by paris at all stands of Juliet with wide eyes and gently bends over to kiss her forehead. In unison, he kissed her forehead and a bullet was fired but after he kissed her, Juliet rose up with him. The bullet went through Romeos back and into Juliet’s. Juliet quickly fell back down into her soft bed of pillows, and now red blankets. Romeo barely feeling the bullet go through him, dropped down to his knees and says what Paris thought was his last words. Romeo (Bleeding out, struggling to speak) My fate has decided that I’ll be the one to die way before you came along You only played a tiny factor in my death Dying is my destiny Dying beside my beloved Juliet is my destiny YOU KILLED HER AGAIN !

205


The rage of Mercutio soon entered Romeo’s body. Reminding Romeo of the time Mercutio told him not to worry so much about fate and to worry more about choosing your own. Romeo got up from his knees and pulled out his knife with a blade sharper that the tip of a needle. He charged at Paris and the knife pierced through his heart, and out of his back. Paris was dead, along with the guard, along with Friar, along with Mercutio, and along with Tybalt. Romeo touches Juliet’s wrist to check if she was still alive and it turns out that she was. Surprisingly Juliet survived the gunshot but the bullet was still inside of her chest, she was going to die within minutes. Romeo goes through a flashback of all of their memories, starting at the party where he first fell in love with her, leading to the time of their marriage. In the city of Verona these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder. Romeo (Surprised) How are you here with me I thought Friar poisoned you You were dead And now you’re not Juliet (Slowly dying) My dear Romeo Inside of the bottle there was no poison I was simply resting Romeo, now realized that he had killed Friar for no reason. He kissed his wife one last time, and they said their goodbyes. Romeo was soon accompanied by officers and got taken to a hospital in the middle of the city. Romeo survived and thought he was going back home but soon remembered he was still banished from Verona. He remembers how Benvolio told him that the prince said that anyone may kill Romeo with no punishment. Broadcasting on the television was a picture of Romeo and the story of what happened in the church that night. There was a security camera inside of the church on top of the tall, old, wood doors. No one really cared for Romeo, the feud ended after everyone attended Juliet's funeral, there was only one person that actually wanted Romeo dead and he was extremely similar to his big brother Mercutio…

206


Romeo knows that he is blamed for the death of Mercutio but he is only afraid of what extent Mercutio’s brother would go to, to get\ to Romeo. INT. - IN THE HOSPITAL - MORNING Sirens are broadcasted all over the hospital after someone shot a lock off of the back door. Romeo (Shaking uncontrollably) Who’d do such a thing Are they here for me Where should i go Where can i go I killed the only person that was trying to protect me No Friar, no Juliet, and no Mercutio Rubio enters Romeo’s hospital room, and they spot each other. Romeo standing at the large glass hospital window that goes from where his feet are to where the ceiling stops, and Rubio in the doorway. Below was a highway that stretches right beneath the large window. Rubio (Red with anger) It cannot be an eye for an eye if you still have both of yours There is no way i'm letting you out of this one You let my brother die under your watch Rubio pulls out his gun and shoots 8 times each bullet entering Romeo. Each shot pushing Romeo closer and closer to the window, until eventually he fell through. Rubio peered through the large, now bloody, cracked open window just to see Romeo now dead on the large, one way, highway.

207


I would write the death scene by romeo going to get juliet and as he's about to drink the poison when juliet smacks it out his hand.They kiss and run away.Juliet's mother goes to her grave and 3 days later and realizes that she is gone. So she tells her husband and they both go after them. They go to romeo´s trailer and find him but not juliet so they kill romeo. Then juliet comes back to find romeo so she gets his gun from their room and kills herself. EXT.Juliet´s house-shed-Night (Romeo walks to Juliet on the floor) Romeo: why must my love leave me.Why dont they want us to be happy.

It’s taxed my brains to bursting point Juliet ( pushes Friar away from her ) Don't give me the whole story! Just tell me what to do ( pulling a knife out her bag ) If you cant help me, then i’ll help myself

219


Friar ( taking the knife from her ) Juliet ( yelling at Friar Lawrence with tears down her face ) God joined my heart with Romeo, and you joined our hands to be one. Before this hand does anything else i’ll use it to kill myself. So you better either give me advice or watch me die Friar ( Sits there in shock ) I think there’s a ray in hope! Juliet Tell me you have an idea, rather than marrying Paris Friar ( Friar looking down holding his cross necklace ) You’d have to go through something sneaky, if you dare Juliet ( wipes tears from her face ) Oh, Friar I will do whatever it takes to get to my love, my husband Friar ( walking back and forth ) Alright then. Here’s the plan, go home, put on a happy face. Agree to marry Paris. Tomorrow is wednesday. Now look here! Make sure that when you go to bed, you’re alone in your room. Don’t let your nurse in.

If they want to be together then they deserve to be. Now please leave ( he slowly shuts the door ) Balvizar ( tries to stop him from closing the door ) But, But Friar this could be a big mistake, what if someone finds out she's missing they will instantly go looking for her and will kill romeo Friar No sonny they will not know, no one knows about those two except, nurse, me and you. So they wouldn’t suspect a thing from romeo. Now please leave. I have things to do Balthasar ( starts stuttering ) But

225


Juliet ( yells in pain ) OUCH! ( she grabs her sword out and lunges it to the ground near her ankle ) I shall kill what has been come upon me ( she looks to see what had bit her ) A snake ? ( she says under her breathe ) A snake ? How can that be. ( she takes the dead snake off her ankle and walk away limping ) I'm sure i’ll be okay, beside its not like it’ll kill me. So juliet gets back on her horse and heads off to keep finding romeo……. Until a few hours later juliet starts to feel ill EXT.

In the story of Romeo and Juliet there destiny was to be together until the end even though their families were enemies. After Tybalt got killed by Romeo, Romeo was banished from Mississippi and he was forced to move out of town to Tennessee and Friar Lawrence said he would take care and find a way for Romeo. Juliet was so sad that she couldn't see her love, her husband anymore. So she went to Friar Lawrence: and told him she couldn't even deal with it and she didn't want to marry Paris so she put a gun to her head, then pointed it to Friar Lawrence. He came up with a plan for Juliet to drink a poison that would make her seem dead but would just be in a deep sleep. This would avoid Juliet being forced to marry Paris. When Juliet wakes up, her Romeo would be there waiting because Friar Lawrence would send a message to Romeo. They would run off to a surrounding town and live together forever. ext. Romeo's home- Daytime-2000 century Balthasar rides up swerving with his car on Romeo, that is standing on the side of his house.

She is gone, her funeral is tomorrow. ROMEO (in shock, crying and yelling at the sky on his knee) We must go now, if we want to make it before morning. Ext.

230


PARIS

(laughing) Married??Why are you not in there... since your asking questions? Oh, I forgot your banished, because you killed your love cousin. I should call her dad and tell him you are here so he can kill you! No maybe I should do it myself! ROMEO (shrugging his shoulders) Tell him!! My love is gone, nothing can hurt me anymore than this. Romeo instantly grabs the vase and tries to smash it on Paris but Paris moves. As Paris pulls out his gun, he gets a call from L ord Capulet. Romeo grabs the gun points it on Paris Romeo (pointing the gun) Go! Go! Tell him! PARIS (holding his hands up) I will and you will be a dead man!

Juliet is looking at the bottle in Romeo ́s hand and grabs it JULIET (crying) I do not belong here! Juliet grabs the gun from off the side of Romeo ́s waist JULIET (scared) This is for my love!! Being here will just get me everything I never would want. Juliet pulls the trigger and nothing comes out. Paris, Lord Capulet and his servants coming storming in.

232


PARIS (tired with a bruise on his head pointing toward Juliet) There they is father!! Lord Capulet (furious) Juliet how dare you give this embarrassment to our family. Come her now! JULIET ( scared) NOOO!You are the reason my love is dead. I love Romeo and you couldn't put your pride aside for your own flesh and blood! I love Romeo that is why I do not want to marry Paris.

240


My scene is different from others because they both live. My scene is also more dramatized because of romeo. Also the poison is water so that’s different. By changing the poison from water is different because I haven't heard anyone say that or do that. Also not a lot of people ley romeo or juliet die cause sometimes they both die or romeo dies and vice versa. Exterior- tomb- daytime The big tomb is dirty with moss hanging from the sides. The tomb was in the middle of nowhere that tumbleweeds started coming out. It was also very windy. Romeo (walks up to Paris) Let me in Paris Paris (laughs) NEVER! (both pull out sword) (romeo steps closer to paris) (a sudden crash from inside the tomb caught paris’s attention and turns around) (once paris is turned around romeo stabs him in the back *literally*) (paris falls down) (romeo steps closer to paris) (paris tries to speak) Romeo Spit it out already Paris She's not- (in the middle of speaking paris dies leaving romeo in confusion) Romeo She's not what? (romeo waits for a response but paris has died) Romeo (talks to himself) WHYYY (after a few minutes he calms down and tries to get into the tomb) (romeo walks behind the tomb and finds a big rock )

241


(romeo walks back to the front and uses the rock to try and break open a lock on the tomb door) (the door opens) Romeo FINALLY! (romeo walks through the doors) Romeo JULIET….WHERE ARE YOU (romeo walks around the tomb) (he finds Juliet on a small table tomb) Romeo This can’t be real (romeo walks up to the small table tomb where juliet lies and drops to his knees) Romeo (sobbing) Why did this happen to you? You’re the love of my life, we were supposed to live a happy life together, now your gone. (romeo kneels in silence for a few minutes) Romeo I didn't think it had to come to this (while saying that romeo pulls out a small bottle) Romeo Maybe for once we’ll be happy together (out of nowhere juliet starts making small movements) Romeo Once I do this maybe it will end the family feud forever (romeo drinks the poison from the bottle) (in romeo’s *ending* moments he speaks to juliet) Romeo I’ll see you up there my love (dramatically falls to the ground) (a minute or 2 later Juliet wakes up fully and sees romeo on the ground) Juliet NOO ROMEO (sobbing) (juliet spots the bottle on the ground) Juliet Once i drink this we will soon be happy together (juliet jumps off the small tomb table and picks up the half empty bottle)

242


Juliet Happy forever (juliet drinks the poison) (5 minutes have gone by and she was still alive) Juliet (speaks to self) Why am I still alive? (in confusion juliet looks at the label on the bottom of the bottle) Juliet Water? (the bottom of the bottle had said water) (juliet looks over at romeo) Juliet ROMEO (romeo wakes up in confusion) Romeo What happened? Juliet We drank water Romeo That’s impossible, father said that it was poison Juliet I guess he lied (romeo goes over to juliet) Romeo My love, we can now be happy together, alive Juliet What about our parents Romeo They think your dead right? (juliet nods) Romeo Then they should be happy that you alive rather then dead (juliet smiles at romeo) Juliet That’s true, maybe the family feud will end once and for all once they’ve really seen what could happen Romeo (laughs) Maybe

243


Romeo seeks to find Juliet in a forest and he encounters an evil animal. Laying in a bed formed of flowers he approaches and finds Juliet. As he sees her, a bunch of plants, vines, and just “monster” plants start attacking him. With his sword he cuts them all up and finally gets to see her but “dead”. Romeo lets the cursed plants attack him and cut him up until he loses blood. Juliet wakes up and notices Romeo dead laying in her arms as she cries. By this time, it became quiet as the monster plants look dead too. All you see is Romeo’s sword with a red rose attached to it and his name had appeared on there. Juliet grabs the sword stabs herself in the chest as she slowly dies. Her name had appeared on there and a white rose. They both lied there in the forest. The Death Scene EXT. THE EVIL FOREST - DAY Romeo arrives at the forest and roams around looking for Juliet. He comes across an eagle, he’s sitting up on a tree as he stares down on Romeo. ROMEO (breathes heavily) Mr. Eagle, can you please lead me to my beautiful wife Juliet? EMMETT (he has a confused look in his face) Why do you think you can show me a picture of her? ROMEO (pulls out a picture from his right pocket) This is her Mr. Eagle, I’ve been looking for her since the day my servant told me she has been gone.

244


EMMETT (his eyes open wide) Yes! I’ve seen her and I can show you the way under one condition. ROMEO (He gets very suspicious) Under what conditions? EMMET (has an evil look in his face) After I help you find her you have to let me eat her as my feast! ROMEO (he has a shocked look on his face, and he pulls out his gold mighty sword ) Why I don’t agree with that! You will have to go through me to get to her first. EMMETT (he gives Romeo the ugliest grin ever) Why I accept your challenge Sir, Romeo, oh and the names Emmett. Romeo and Emmett battle as Emmet targets him with his beak to stab him. Romeo had tried to stab him right in the heart multiple times, but the eagle was moving to much. He than waits until Emmet targets ,and as the eagle strikes he grabs his beak. Romeo goes for the heart but before he could stab him he disappears. ROMEO (he breathes heavily in confusion) I don’t know what just happened.., but I must move on to find my lost love.

245


INT. THE DUNGEON - NIGHT Romeo finds a dungeon in the middle of the night as he seeks shelter and runs in. He gets excited and thinks Juliet is in there. He comes upon a bunch of wild plants that start to come to life as he starts cutting them. ROMEO ( gets angry) She must be in here for I have been looking for hours! These plants are in my way for I must cut them up. Romeo walks around looking around the dungeon, and then he gets annoyed by the really long plants hanging from the ceilings and floors. He ends up cutting one’s from the floor in anger and they start coming to life. MONSTER PLANTS (they arise and come to life) You shall not get pass through us for we know you want your Juliet. You have to get through us first! ROMEO (gets his sword out) I accept your challenge! If I win you will give me my Juliet. MONSTER PLANTS (they hesitate) If we win you will give us your heart and Juliet’s!

246


Romeo (breathes hard) Yes, that’s the deal. Romeo and the monster plants battle until things get very violent. Romeo gets his hands and feet wrapped up by the plants with his sword still in his hand. As he is being choked to death he manages to slice the plants vines and they let go. He runs as fast as he can to Juliet who is laying on a bed of wood. He gets to her, he is crying, and the last thing he says to her before the plants got to him was “It’s me and you forever love, even if it means we both have to be dead”. ROMEO (kisses her) Goodbye my love. Romeo had done this because he had seen the monster plants grab his sword to go up to stab him. The monster plants ended up stabbing Romeo in the heart as he bled to death. The plants then let go of his sword, on his sword appeared a red rose, and Romeo’s name on it. The bed of woods also had a bunch of red roses bloom on there. JULIET (wakes up) Oh my, what just happened??

247


MONSTER PLANTS (arise again) Why we battled your sir Romeo for the heart of his and yours. Now that we have won, you have to let us have your heart too. JULIET (she weeps) This is all my fault for drinking that bottle of deep sleep. I could have stopped this from happening, but it’s too late now. MONSTER PLANTS (get impatient) Time is ticking princess. JULIET (takes a deep breath) Do as you must. Juliet lays down right by Romeo and she holds his hand. The plants grab the sword, stab Juliet right in the heart, and she bled to death. The plants start to get gray and die, the sword appeared with a white rose attached to the red rose, and Juliet’s name appeared on their too. Both of them lied there on a bed of white and red roses with the sword on top of them. INT. THE DUNGEON - DAY THE WATCH ( The captain of the Watch stopped at the entrance.)

248


‘Look at this blood,’ Search the churchyard. Arrest anyone you see.’ They caught Balthasar and arrested him. They found the Friar trembling and crying. They took his crowbar as evidence and arrested him too. The Prince had arrived, followed by the Capulets ,and the Montagues, and The captain of The Watch brought the two bodies out. In honor of them both of the families and sides of Romeo and Juliet held a royal funeral. EXT. THE ROYAL FUNERAL - DAY THE PRINCE (stands up straight and confident) There’ll be punishment for some and pardons for others because there never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo. All the Capulets, Montagues, Servants, Kings, and Queens mourned for the loss of Romeo and Julietas they were getting buried. It was truly a sad day and things wouldn’t be the same without them. The love and story remained forever true and this was the story that changed from going to enemies to a big unity of peace of two sides.

In this version of the story, both Romeo and Juliet survive because they are both saved by different people. In order for us to not give you all of the play in this piece of writing, yet still be able to give you some information for you to understand, we must state that Romeo gets saved by Rosaline, while Juliet is saved by Paris and that is all. To summarize the story, Paris walks in and sees Romeo by Juliet’s side as he is about to kill himself. Paris believes that he is going to try and hurt Juliet so he shoots a single shot. Romeo manages to dodge the bullet and the bullet hits the old crumbling pillar, causing it to crack even more. Paris begins to continue to shoot more and more bullets, but somehow, Romeo is able to move and not get hit. While Romeo is hiding from Paris’ shots, he sees in the corner of his eye, Juliet awakening. The walls begin to crumble and Paris makes the quick decision to grab Juliet and carry her out of the tomb. Romeo, begins to get up and try to escape as well, but he was too late, and is pronounced, “dead” at the scene. Juliet realizes that Paris has saved her so she decides to marry him the next day, the same way it would have been if Juliet had not passed away. About an hour passes when Rosaline passes by the Capulet’s tomb on her way home back from a night away from town. Rosaline believes that the chaos that has happened is the Capulet’s tomb so she begins to walk around to make sure that she is correct. That is when she sees Romeo’s hand and discovers that it is not a dead body, Romeo was alive. Rosaline saves him and Romeo is grateful for what she has done and falls in love with her once more. The twist is that neither of them know that they are both alive, they believe that one another is dead. EXT CAPULET TOMB--NIGHTTIME

270


The entrance of the tomb is still decorated with flowers, they are lining the entire door. There is a huge lock that is completely rusted so Romeo decides to try and just pull it apart. He fails. Romeo walks back to the bushes, grabs a rock, and hits the entrance as hard as possible, causing there to be a small crack, enough for him to open the door. INT--CAPULET TOMB--NIGHT He walks in, goes down the steps that lead directly to all of the tomb slabs where the bodies are located. Romeo looks around and notices that there are dozens of bodies, some of them are just clothes covered by a thin transparent sheet, while other bodies are just bones, still covered by a sheet, and then he notices a beautiful woman in all red and gold, still showing off her natural glow. Romeo realizes that the beautiful woman is his beloved Juliet so he walks past 4 tomb slabs and stops at the 5th because that is where Juliet is. Before he begins to look at Juliet, Romeo turns around and realizes that the place where Juliet is, is absolutely horrific. There are millions of cobwebs all over the floor, with spiders and rats crawling around on the floor. He proceeds to shake his head as he takes the thoughts away from his head.

ROMEO (grabs Juliet’s hand) (his eyes beginning to tear) My dear beloved, Juliet, why would you leave me? When we had so much going on for us? Why? (Romeo screams and then proceeds to cry intensely)

271


EXT CAPULET TOMB--NIGHTTIME Paris shows up to the tomb, hoping to see his beloved fiance one last time, he hears a strange noise of a man screaming inside the tomb. He begins to walk and notices the crack so he decides to burst in and see what is going on. He runs and jumps over many of the steps that lead to Juliet's tomb slab.

INT--CAPULET TOMB--NIGHT Paris (standing firm, ready to take his gun out) Who is protruding my beloved fiance Ě s tomb? They shall face me before they are able to leave! (silence between both men) Paris, begins to walk in more and notices all of the dead corpses. He looks to the ground in disgust and shakes his head as he forces himself to lift his head up again. ] Romeo is spooked by the voice of another man and quickly jumps because of the fear in his body. He decides to grab his gun and take it out. Romeo (wiping the tears from his face) It is me! Romeo Montague! Who is this man walking and disturbing my beloved wife Ě s eternal sleep?

272


Paris (takes the gun out from the holder and glocks it) Wife? In what world? Juliet Capulet was my fiance, she belonged to no other man, but me! Paris shoots one bullet, the bullet passes all of the corpses, in slow motion, as if time has stopped. Romeo moves to the right, hiding behind one of Juliet's relatives. The way Romeo moved, caused only the sheets that are located on top of the deceased relatives to move. The bullet hits the concrete pillar, causing it to crack. The pillar begins to get more and more cracks, without making any type of noise. Romeo (hiding from Paris, but making his voice clear) Paris! It is you? Please let me explain what is happening! Juliet and I were marr‌.. Paris shoots a bullet again, this time, not knowing where Romeo is, so he ends up hitting another pillar. This time, the pillar was connected directly to the wall, so now the wall begins to crack, yet neither of the men focus on that as they are both in a serious and heated argument. ROMEO (begins to get up and walk out from behind the tomb slab, in a very shaky voice) Paris, please listen to me, I have an explanation. I mean no harm. Romeo takes a step forward and stands 10 feet away from Paris. He is shaking, sweating, and there are even some tears falling down his face.

273


Paris (standing still, not moving one inch, tears began to fall down his face) All of my life, I have been preparing myself to find the perfect woman. I wanted to be able to live my life happy and be in love, I met Juliet and she was my everything. You are nothing compared to me and what I could have offered Juliet. Leave now and I will not shoot. Romeo notices that Paris has put one finger on the trigger, so he begins to take small steps, holding his hands in the air to symbolize he is no threat, his gun still in his right hand. Romeo (in a shaky voice) Paris, Juliet and I met at the party. I had no idea that you were promised to marry her. My love for her was gigantic so I met her again at the balcony and we fell in love. We were married yesterday and she sadly died today. Romeo drops his gun and kicks it next to Paris Ě left foot. The gun skips a beat as it flies over the hard pieces of rock and debri from the crumbling pillars. Paris (in a firm voice ) I do not believe one bit of your words! You are a liar, Juliet would never be with a man like you, and even if she wished to, her family would never let her. How can you explain that?

274


Romeo (smiles) We both had the crazy idea to marry in secret, with the blessing of Friar Lawrence. (frowns) We were supposed to tell her family yesterday, but I killed Tybalt. We were hoping to have our families come together. Romeo looks over his right shoulder and sees Tybalt on his tomb slab. He notices that Tybalt does not look good, he is not smiling and Romeo raises his head, as if thinking of a distant memory. Romeo (cries, and in a whisper) I’m sorry. It is all my fault, I didn't mean to end your life, my dear cousin. I hope you are in peace. Paris (yells) What are you doing? Talking to dead people? You killed him? You are a curse to the Capulet Family and deserve to die! Paris is shaking intensely, he shoots his gun to Romeo Ě s left side and barely misses. The bullet seems to barely pass his ear and caused Romeo to jolt. Romeo runs to the right and hides behind one of the pillars. He begins to grab his chest and breathe heavily, shaking his head swiftly as he is in denial.

275


Juliet awakens, blinks multiple times in a frantic motion, she is breathing in such a heavy matter, as if Romeo ́s hard breaths were passed to her. She sits up, beginning to panic as she realizes where she is. Juliet sees Romeo and a huge smile comes upon her face, so she tries to get up, she is still dizzy from the potion so she tumbles to the ground. Paris notices Juliet and runs towards her aid. He is puzzled, yet does not question his love for her, so he decides to take action by grabbing her left arm. The pillars begin to tumble. The debri falls on all three of them, they look all puzzles as to what has just happened. Paris (screams in emotion) My beloved Juliet! You are alive? How.. wha…… The pillar by them, falls, causing Paris to get hit in the leg and he jumps. He is in anger so he tries to move more of the debri so it will not hit Juliet, he is not able to succeed, so instead he protects his own head. Paris (screams while protecting his head) No time to ask questions!! We must go! Paris lifts Juliet and runs out of the tomb, right as the rest of the pillars begin to tumble. Juliet is confused, she does not question anything, she is taken up a few steps before she realizes that Romeo is still in there.

276


Juliet (screams) Run! Romeo run! Do not stay, get up! EXT CAPULET TOMB--NIGHTTIME Paris drops Juliet on the cold, muddy ground, Juliet shakes intensely and looks up at Paris in anger. She sits, grabbing her head as she is in pain. Paris begins to walk back and forth, hitting his head and grabbing his chin. Paris (coughs) What is going on? I am extremely confused? Who is Romeo? Are you two really married? What? How are you not dead? Juliet! Juliet gets up from the ground and becomes dizzy. She tries to dust herself off as if she is going to dust off the fact that she is dizzy. She takes on step and stops in her own tracks. Juliet (screams) Where is Romeo? We need to get him! Juliet begins to run towards the entrance and is about to walk in. The walls begin to tumble, causing debri to fly. The debri is hitting Juliet, but she does not seem to be in pain as she has one thing in mind and one thing in mind only. Paris shakes his head in disappointment and he

277


hugs Juliet, she does not resist, but she does not deny the embrace either. The rest of the structure falls. The dirt is flying everywhere so Paris forces Juliet to turn around and Paris puts his head in her head, so nothing will fly into their eyes. They stand there, frozen in time. Juliet (both yelling and crying) Romeo! Why? Why! Juliet lifts her head up begins to hit Paris on the chest. Paris feels the pain, but he lets her hit him. He knows she needs to let her emotions out, he does not do anything, but wipe a small tear from his right eye. Juliet (yells) Why would you do that? Why would you even be here! You are so horrible! Leave, I do not want to see you! You are a curse to me and Romeo! Paris moves back, not letting Juliet touch him. He looks confused and tries to take another step backwards, but trips over some of the debris. He manages to catch himself, and stand up firm again, then puts his hands in a fist.

278


Paris (beginning to tear up once again) I am a curse? Romeo was the one who was in your tomb about to do, heaven knows what?! Yet, I am the curse? I saved you Juliet, you are alive again and you would have really died if it wasn't for me grabbing you! Juliet! I love you! I only want the very best for you! Why would I be a curse? Juliet (sniffs, wipes her tears away) Paris, I need to explain this to you. I met Romeo at the party and instantly fell in love. We were married yesterday in the early morning by Friar Lawrence and we planned on telling both of our families, before the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. I am so sorry that I never gave you a chance, but I loved Romeo, he was mine, My Romeo. I can not live without him, I can not. Juliet falls on the ground and cries more. She begins to try and pick the pieces of the ruble, trying to put them back together. Paris takes on step forward as if he is going to stop her, but he holds himself back and stands there in silence for a moment. Paris (with tears in his eyes, but still stating this in a firm way) I’m sorry. Juliet, I have been in love with you ever since I first laid my eyes on you. Our families have known each other for years and I had to wait in order for me to be ready and for me to be perfect enough for you. I even asked for your hand, days ago, yet your father decided that he

279


would wait for you to make your own decision and for you to be okay with it. I love you Juliet and I am willing to forgive you! I will make you happy! Marry me! Paris walks towards Juliet, trying to let go of the anger and not harm her, picks her up, and gives her a kiss on the forehead. Juliet did not resist, but squirmed a little. Juliet seems to smile for a quick second, but something makes her frown once again. Juliet (in a firm voice ) Let me explain to you this whole plan Paris. I bet that you are confused by all of this and you maybe thinking that I am a zombie, but I can promise you that I am not. Listen to me. As I have mentioned before, Romeo and I met at the party and fell in love. I did not know he was a Montague, I found out later when the Nurse investigated and discovered that he was my enemy. I began to question myself more and more and then he came to my Balcony. We talked all night and he was just so charmi‌‌ During the whole time while Juliet states this, Paris was standing in front of her, still as a statue, but he moved back. Paris threw his hands in the air and yelled. Paris (in anger) Why is this important to the story Juliet? I am offering to completely forgive you and give you the life that you deserve! And this is what you say to me? Juliet! You are killing me.

280


Juliet runs to Paris and grabs his hands, trying to calm him down. She lets go of his left hand and uses her right hand to wipe away the tears that have begun to dry down. She smiles and looks directly into his eyes. Juliet (in a calm voice) Paris, my darling, I am extremely grateful to you for saving my life. You are my hero. What did I tell you? I said that I would explain all of this. Just sit down and let me explain. Juliet motions for Paris to sit on the rock, that caused Paris to trip earlier. He complies to sit by just sitting, he is in shock. He sits there, puzzled. Juliet (still in a calm voice) As I mentioned to you, I knew that he was a Montague, and he knew I was a Capulet, but it wasn't until after we had fallen in love. We came to the conclusion that in order for us to actually be able to be together and not have horrible, consequences‌ (Juliet looks down and her voice cracks) look at us now, we managed to still be in a horrible situation (laughs a little) We decided to get married, so we were married yesterday in the early day by Friar Lawrence. We had planned on telling our parents, but it was not possible due to the fact that Romeo killed Tybalt. (cries a little, looks at the sky)

281


My dear Tybalt, my beloved cousin, I met to cause no harm, I am so sorry. I love you so much. That was when Romeo was banished from Verona so I ran to Friar Lawrence, in desperation I told him that I would rather die than not have Romeo in my life. Friar Lawrence laughed at me and he had a (using air quotes) ̈ ̈master plan ̈ (shakes her head in anger) I was told that I should drink a poison, that would make me fall asleep for 24 hours, enough time for me to get buried and have Romeo come back in the night to get me. We had planned to escape Paris, that is why he was there to begin with. Paris stands up, walks towards Juliet and drops to the ground. Paris (in a voice crack) I’m sorry. I killed him. Oh my lord. Juliet, please forgive me. I am so sorry. (he shakes his head violently Juliet (smiles) Paris, you only did what you thought was right. Romeo is gone, yes I am hurt. But I can not continue without realizing that you saved my life. I owe everything to you. I love you Paris.

282


Juliet reaches over and grabs his neck with her right hand, she kisses him and he does not hesitate to kiss her back. They kiss for a couple of seconds and then hug. They throw themselves on the floor, still hugging and they continue to hug. The rest of the night passes, the camera moves to the sky, where all of the stars are connecting to make a beautiful heart, they camera turns to the forest and then back, but now the sun is out. Paris and Juliet spent the whole entire night talking, actually getting to know one another. They have fallen in love and decided to marry, making it official and then later telling her family about the whole plan. This is the end of the first version to the death scene. To summarize the next scene without actually creating it, the next scene will be about the wedding of Juliet and Paris, they are truly in love and Juliet's parents could not be happier for the fact that their daughter is alive and she is happy with the Ěˆlove of her life.¨ You may be questioning why we stated that there is a first version, that is because we have a second version, which is Romeo's side of the story. INT CAPULET TOMB--NIGHTTIME Romeo is sitting down by Juliet when Paris walks in and begins to shoot. Everything happens, when the structure begins to fall, Romeo decides to pick up the gun that he had once kicked to Paris and he begins to run. He hops over thousands of pebbles and stones, he is even jumping over the bodies, trying to make it out to see his beloved Juliet once more. He does not make it, the stones and pillars fall on him, but he was able to get protected by a pillar that has fallen on the side of the wall. Romeo was left unconscious, but alive. Romeo heard Juliet Ě s voice, but he believed that he was hallucinating and he was not in the correct. Romeo does not know that Juliet is alive.

283


While Paris and Juliet were having their moment by the rock, Rosaline (Romeo ́s ex lover) has just come back into town from a job that she had to finish. Rosaline walks pass the back of the structure and believes that the tomb belongs to the Capulet Family. Rosaline begins to walk and sees a hand sticking up so she walks up and sees that there is a young man unconscious, curious, she lifts up a piece of rumble and notices that it is Romeo! Rosaline moves the pillars and stones as fast as possible and pulls Romeo ́s body out. Rosaline gives Romeo CPR and begins to scream. EXT--CAPULET TOMB--NIGHT Rosaline (screams) Romeo wake up! Romeo it's me, Rosaline. Are you okay? Rosaline starts to dust Romeo off as Romeo begins to cough. Romeo turns to his side, trying to take the dirt out of his lungs and figure out what is going on. Romo (coughs) What? What happened? Where is Juliet? Who are you? Wha… Rosaline (walks over to Romeo and lifts him up) Romeo, calm down, look at me, it's Rosaline. Who is Juliet? Why would she be here? Romeo (screams in emotion) Rosaline! It's you! Oh my! (Romeo hugs Rosaline, lifts her up and continues to scream in happiness) Thank you for saving me! You are my hero! Rosaline, I love you! Rosaline (screams in a happy way) Romeo! Put me down! What are you doing? Romeo! Romeo (puts Rosaline down and has a sad look in his eyes) I am so sorry, what is it? 284


Rosaline (grabs Romeo by the hands) I need you to explain to me what is going on. Please, take your time, but we must go, we need to get you some medical attention. Rosaline takes Romeo and they walk to the next city, where Rosaline has just come back from. Romeo tells Rosaline everything that she needs to know and she is left speechless. INT--MEDIC ́S OFFICE--DAYTIME Rosaline (smiles, laughs, then frowns) So let me get this straight, you and Juliet are married? What happened to the feelings that you had for me Romeo? What am I supposed to do? Romeo (smiles) I’m sorry. Rosaline, I have never stopped loving you, I just had to find someone to make me forget you. I didn't know what to do. I still love you, I never stopped loving you, I had just begun to love someone new. Please forgive me Rosaline, you are my everything. I owe my life to you. Rosaline (smiles) Romeo, I love you too. I was just always afraid to state it to you because I did not know if you would feel the same way for me. I forgive you, I want to be with you! Rosaline hugs Romeo and Romeo hugs her back. The following day they are married and Romeo does not mention Juliet again when he is around Rosaline. Juliet still passes his mind, but he believes that she is dead. He does not know that she awoke and made it out alive. Juliet also does not know that Romeo has made it out, they are divorced due to the fact that they each believe that the other is dead. If this were an actual movie, Juliet would later find out that she is pregnant, with Romeo ́s child. They would end up meeting once again and the story would continue from there. This version would be ̈Romeo and Juliet: continued.¨

285


My vision of the death scene is about vampires of Vomeo and Juliet… Juliet went to Friar Laurence's church because she was being forced to marry Paris but she was already married to Romeo and she loved him. FRIAR LAURENCE’S--CHURCH--DAY FRIAR LAURENCE (walks over to Juliet) Here take this magical potion, it will put you to sleep for 24-hour and you’ll miss the wedding, because they’’l think your dead and they’ll have you a ceremony. When you awake from your 24-hour sleep, Vomeo and i’ll be right there so you and Vomeo can move far away and live happily ever after. Friar Laurence gives Juliet the potion. JULIET (takes the potion) Okay i’ll do just as you say sir. JULIET (walks out) Bye. later that night. PALACE--JULIET’S ROOM--NIGHTTIME JULIET (lays down and drinks the potion) God, i sure hope that everything goes according to plan. Juliet falls in a deep, deep, deep 24-hour sleep… NURSE (walks in the room) Juliet, Juliet it’s time to get ready for the wedding. The nurse looks around the room.

286


NURSE (rushes to Juliet’s side with a worried look on her face) MADAM!!! It’s Juliet, she’s… NURSE (silent pause) She’s… dead The nurse runs to get juliet’s mom and dad sobbing. Everyone thought Juliet was dead so they held a ceremony under her name. They wore all black. Meanwhile… Vimeo never got that letter from Friar Lawrence explaining the plan and it had put Juliet’s death on the radio… Vimeo was listening to the radio when they said Juliet had died and they had held a ceremony due to her sudden death. GRAVEYARD--NIGHT TIME VOMEO (stands up and turns off the radio) Why my dear and only love Juliet is dead? How can that be? Vomeo had gotten so upset, he left and went back to Verona. EXT CAPULET TOMB--NIGHTTIME Vomeo walks up to the palace tomb, picks up a large rock and throws it at the palace door. The door opens and he walks inside. INT--CAPULET PALACE--MIDNIGHT Vomeo walks up to Juliet’s body laying on a bed in the middle of other Capulet bodies, her face covered by a shroud. Soft music playing in the background.

287


VOMEO (grabs Juliet’s hand) Dear Juliet, why are you still so fair? Vomeo stands and walks over to Tybalt’s body. VOMEO (head down) Sorry to have took your blood, cousin. VOMEO (laughs) sorry. Vomeo stands up, turns into a bat and flies back to Juliet. VOMEO (Kisses Juliet) Bye Juliet. Vomeo lays on the ground beside Juliet’s bed and drinks the poison blood. Vomeo dies… JULIET Ohhhh Juliet wakes up from her 24-hour sleep. Just as Friar Lawrence comes walking in. FRIAR LAWRENCE (comes walking through the door) Juliet your awake JULIET (stretching) Where’s my lord, Vomeo? Shouldn’t he be here? FRIAR LAWRENCE (walks next to Juliet) I don’t know Juliet, i haven't seen him yet. While Friar Lawrence was walking beside Juliet, he sees Vomeo’s dead body just laying there.

288


FRIAR LAWRENCE (grabs Juliet’s hand) Uhhh, Juliet we need to go right this minute. JULIET (stands up) But, we need to wait for my lord, Vomeo. Juliet looks down and sees Vomeo's dead body just laying there. JULIET (starts crying) My poor Vomeo, ohhh no. My lord, VOMEO!!!! Juliet can’t stand seeing Vomeo’s dead body just laying there. JULIET (grabs the knife) World, goodbye….

289


EXT. VENICE WATERS - NIGHT VITALIA’s skin bathes in the glistening stars above her death ridden body. CAPULETS throw roses at her as she floats down the clear waters of Venice Italy in a shiny white and gold boat. What lies upon her, a sheet of white lace. The rose of her cheeks gone as she drifts toward the shore aligned with buildings of red and grey. CAPULETS gaze upon the body as they pick her up out of the boat. Laying her onto a bed of flowers and carrying her into the tumb ridden of capulets grief. Setting the bed down next to Vitalia’s cousin, XANTI. BAIN’s servant would run to the memorial and see Vitalia. He watches in awe as they lay her in the tomb. The waters crash behind him as he looks at Friar Lawrence as he moves away slowly in shock. Then he runs. He runs to his boat and rows as fast as he can to Bain. SMASH CUT TO: EXT. HIDEOUT - SUBURBS OF VENICE - DAWN BAIN (Picks up dirty clothes and lights some candles as a knock on his door distracts him) Hello?! BAIN’S SERVANT (Knocks harder as the door opens and he stumbles in and catches his breath) L-l-la morte illumina el sua nuvola scura su Vitalia… BAIN (He drops the candle as it burns out and looks at him in confusion) You are lying. No way she is dead. (He grabs his wrist) You are lying to my face! (Bain looks at him and throws his wrist away from him and runs out to the boat) BAIN’S SERVANT (Running into the boat with Bain and they start paddling to downtown Venice) FADE CUT TO:

290


EXT. OUTSIDE OF TOMB - MORNING BAIN runs to the tomb and is met with a locked door. He would open the door forcefully and walk in slowly. BAIN (He would look around, while walking to a bed surrounded by a bunch of lights he saw XANTI) Hello cousin, for such hatred could bring such doom. (He looked straight ahead and saw VITALIA) He would run quickly over to her. Bain looks down at his dead wife. Her hands holding the most delicate of flowers and covered with a sheet of see through lace. He would hold her hand close to his heart and whisper: BAIN (Whispering) Oh love, the smell of sweet flowers lace your unripe body. Rid of all life, rid of all love. I hope to one day we will meet again in the sky, as dancing stars creating constellations. (He gets an idea and looks down at his belt) VITALIA (She opens her eyes slowly then smiles, her Bain is finally there) But then Bain pulls out a knife at least 4 inches long and holds Vitalias hand. He looks up and pierces it through his heart and Vitalia gasps. She grips his hand as he looks down at her with empty, but surprised eyes and drops to the floor. VITALIA (She screams and lets go of his hand) Bain! No! (She follows after him and sees the knife) Oh Bain why did you do this, did Friar not tell you the plan? (She grips the knife that is inches deep in his chest and pulls it out then holds it to the light) Your blood… (She wipes it off onto her dress and aims it at her stomach) Thus with a kiss… (She pushes it into stomach and shakely kisses him before falling over and mumbling something under her breath) I die…

291


I am going to replay the death scene, becuase it think it was the most important. In my scene Juliet isn’t going to wake up right away, and tybalt isn’t going to really be dead. So that will leave romeo and tybalt fighting to the death, while juliet is still sleeping…. But will she awake? Or is this all a dream? He has arrived to juliet’s casket, frightened and scared. ROMEO oh my dear juliet, why has the world come to this He sniffles and cries with deep pain in his chest. The room is very lit with candles all around, decorated like a peaceful place filled with nothing but happy memmories. Then there lays juliet, ROMEO She looks so alive, She feels so here Romeo hears a big clang out of nowhere. He turns around and there stands tybalt. ROMEO Tybalt? How are even still here? Your dead! Am i dreaming? This feels so unreal…. I lost the woman i loved and now my worst enemy, who is her cousin, is alive again. I really must be dreaming. TYBALT This shall not be a dream. I am real and was never dead, do you really think Juliet would let me die like that. She knew it would come to this.

292


ROMEO I don’t understand, she’s dead and your here. But you killed my best friend so i don’t even care. Romeo grabs the long, medal stand the candle sat on and started to swing toward tybalt. TYBALT Owwwwwwwww The flame had caught onto tybalt’s shirt causing him to feel the heat, burning part of his skin. Tybalt rushed to take his shirt off, ans swung towards romeo immediatly. Once again they were trying to kill eachother. This time no jokes. TYBALT You tried to kill me once and im still here, do you really think you will be able to kill me? Tybalt swung his sword a couple of time towards Romeo and missed all of them. ROMEO That’s the plan, you started it so i shall finish it. Romeo swing a couple times and finally hits him to where he is to the ground. ROMEO Its time to say your last goodbye!

293


Juliet arises. JULIET Romeo Nooo! If you are my true love you shall not wish death on my blood. ROMEO JULIET?!! Romeo doesn’t know what to say or think at this moment. He feels woozy and barely can stand to his feet. Out of nowhere Marcutio appears in the open. MARCUTIO You see how much pain and trouble this man has caused? And you haven’t ended him yet. I thought you would do right if I was ever gone. Don’t forget where you came from, they are the other side. Marcutio dissapears without giving Romeo a chance to say anything. Romeo doesn’t quite understand what is happening, or if Marcutio was really there, but before romeo could do anything Tybalt took the sword and switched it around on him. TYBALT Now what are you to do! How does it feel with the tables turned? Now i shall end this forever. ROMEO Wait! Let me say my goodbyes…. Juliet I would never have thought all of this would come to this. When i first met you I litterally fell in love with you. Your flaws were never there because you were just so perfect, so perfect I would never think

294


about changing you. I don’t know if I love you or just the thought of us, but my heart says I love you. Juliet gets up and walks towards the both of them. She grabs the sword away from Tybalt and he allows it. He thinks that she will do the honors but something else is on her mind. She might not forgive herself for what shes about to do… She swings the sword towards Tybalt. Tybalt backs up. TYBALT What are you doing Juliet? Do you even know who’s side your on? Just wait… I think you need to think about this. JULIET Theres nothing to think about. This seems like the only way to end everything. I feel like my life has already ended so why not take it away right now. Think about it, even if we all lived what would we do? We would be living to die, from all this hate. ROMEO What do you mean? What do you plan on doing? Just put it down and we can see what fate has for us. There is no need for anyone to die. TYBALT YOU JUST TRIED TO KILL ME! ROMEO AND YOU JUST TRIED TO KILL ME!

295


They both were arguing again, then Juliet stabbed herself right in her gut. They both were shocked, ran over to her with pain in thier eyes. They both didn’t know what to say or do. Romeo was filled with tears. ROMEO Why Juliet? Why? We could have lived to see the best. We could have been happy together. While Romeo was sobbing over the fact that she is gone, TYBALT turned his back on both of them and picked up the sword. TYBALT It was all you! It was you from the beginning! If you wouldn’t have came to our party that night she would have never met you, and nothing would have come to this. She wouldn’t have fell in love and she would still be here. Tybalt had tears crawling down his face. ROMEO Go ahead, do it! The only person I loved is gone now. Maybe it is my time to be with her for sure this time. So go ahead, DO IT! Tybalt did it. He put the sword straight through Romeo with no thoughts. TYBALT I shall set my peace in the future, I will see you soon Juliet. Romeo had tears fallind across his face. He was still breathing. He opened his eyes to see that this all was a dream. He passed out when Balthasar told him about Juliet. He imagination went wild when he was asleep he couldn’t believe anything. He didn’t know what to say. He felt so lost.

296


BALTHASAR Are you ok? Here is some water. I don’t know if you remeber what I was telling you but Juliet is now dead. They already had her funeral, You should go make your peace. ROMEO I already did, I will see her soon……

He’s come to do something awful. I’ll catch him. (Now speaking to Romeo) Stop what you're doing, you nasty Montague! Can you take revenge on dead bodies? Condemned villain, I’ve caught you.

Juliet is bleeding her body still warm , she seems to only been dead a short time. The prince (being notified of the deaths) What crimes happen so early in the morning that I have to wake up before the usual time? Lady capulet What’s the problem, that they cry out so loud? Capulet Some people in the street are crying “Romeo.” Some are crying “Juliet,” and some are crying “Paris.” They’re all running in an open riot toward our tomb. Paris’s servant (Approaching the middle of the crowd) Prince, here lies Count Paris killed. And Romeo dead. And Juliet. She was dead before, but now she’s warm and hasn’t been dead for long.Here is a friar, and dead Romeo’s man. They’ve got tools on them ..they could use to open these tombs. Capulet (Drops to the floor) Oh heavens! Oh wife, look at how our daughter bleeds! That knife should be in its sheath on that Montague’s back, but instead it’s mis-sheathed in my daughter Lady capulet (Sobbing) Oh lord ! This sight of death is like a clock warning me that I’m old and I’ll die soon.

303


Montague (Heard the news) My dearest son! So cold and dead Capulet (Reaching for Montague Hand) Oh, brother Montague, give me your hand. This is my daughter’s dowry. I can ask you for nothing more. Montague (Grabs capulets Hand) But I can give you more. I’ll raise her statue in pure gold. As long as this city is called Verona, there will be no figure praised more than true and faithful Juliet. Capulet The statue I will make of Romeo to lie beside his Juliet will be just as rich. They were poor sacrifices of our rivalry!

Romeo Romeo is sitting at home on his couch watching tv. He has an water botle in his hand along with the remote. Romeo then jumps up as he hears banging on his front door, he puts his things down and immediately rushes towards the door to open in. Romeo (opens door) Hello tybalt…? Why are you here today? Tybalt (panting and nervous) You have to come quick.. Its juliet… (romeo) (look of confusion) What is it? Is she okay? Where is she? 320

Juliet

Almost makes it to the door as she hears a loud noise She turns around and stared at the body on the ground not knowing what to do TO BE CONTINUED…...

324


Benvolio and some other dogs from Romeo ́s family were happily playing at the dog park. They soon hear the familiar squeak of the chain link gate opening to allow new dogs into the park. In comes Tybalt followed by his pack of Juliet´s kin. Benvolio questions Tybalt on why they're there so early. It's two o'clock and this Romeo ́s family time. Tybalt explains that two o´clock is their time now. The dogs barks quickly become more aggressive as they´re arguing over this time slot. The two families have designated times because they've fought in the past and Prince Weiler is trying to eliminate the family feud. Prince has switched their designated times without notifying Romeo's pack. Unfortunately for all in the dog park this is undoubtedly going to end in a massive dog fight. Just as predicted the loud barks soon transform into biting and growling. After the gruesome battle was broken up by none other than the Prince himself, he gave an ultimatum to both families. If there are any more fatalities (not including the few there were in that battle) the person responsible would be forbidden of ever returning to the dog park. The scene then switches over to meet Romeo, a self-loathing golden retriever who ́s a hopeless romantic. Then switches to meet his doomed lover Juliet, an obedient rule-following husky. Romeo is at his owner ́s home when he hears a familiar pitter patter running across the yard. This can be none other than Romeo's best friend, Mercutio, a confident rottweiler party animal. Mercutio comes with the news of a party. Although Romeo has no desire to go as his heartbroken self, Mercutio somehow convinces him. Juliet on the other hand is required to attend this party. She would rather not either truth be told but she will happily obliged to her parents wishes. She gets ready for the party with Nurse, her samoyed mother figure. Although Juliet has her mom, she's not really a good one and makes little effort to be. As the clock ticks till the party time both teens hurriedly get ready. Soon enough were an hour into the party. Juliet is happily dancing away with various family members and Romeo is just arriving. As he walks in he enjoys the atmosphere. Mercutio almost immediately leaves him to go party harder. Romeo stands awkwardly in the corner shortly before noticing Juliet while looking around. It's almost as if his past love troubles never existed in the first place. Juliet made him freeze and it was as if she was the only other person in the room. Romeo obviously waited until she was done dancing before wooing her with compliments and sweet words. Eventually landing him a few kisses and promises to meet later. They get interrupted, however, as Mercutio is calling Romeo and Juliet is being called by Nurse. It is now made apparent that they are never meant to be together. They never should've flirted but they did so anyway. With

325


Romeo being the way he is also means he's just fallen in love. How will he ever get over sweet Juliet and beautiful personality? After they are both whisked away Romeo can't leave things like that. He hurriedly sneaks away from the pack and runs to Juliet's backyard. Maybe he can sneak in and find her. Upon walking around the premises he sees Juliet getting let outside by her owner one last time before being in for the night. Looks like Romeo got there right on time. They share many more sweet words and proclamations. They profess their love for each other and decide to get married tomorrow! After then taking about twenty minutes to finally say goodbye and go there separate ways for the night. After all, tomorrow they should be wed and they ́ll need plenty of sleep. In the morning Juliet sends Nurse to go get the details from Romeo. After lots of bantering from Mercutio and his pals, Nurse finally gets an answer and leaves to head back to Juliet. Juliet gets informed of the details and they hurriedly get ready. Just a few hours later they walk down the aisle and share another kiss in front of Friar Lawrence, their german shepherd priest. Now that they´re happily wed they have an amazing honeymoon night together. In the morning Romeo receives a weird letter where Tybalt is trying to duel him. Romeo ignores the letter and goes to find Mercutio and tell him the good news. Upon finding Mercutio at the dog park, he also finds Tybalt and his pack. Romeo tries to explain that he loves Tybalt just as much as he loves his own family now. Both Tybalt and Mercutio think he's just messing around and Mercutio decides to fight Tybalt for him. After a dramatic dog fight Tybalt comes out winning. Mercutio slowly bleeds out and curses both families. Romeo is ashamed that he could let such a thing happen and kills Tybalt as revenge. After the final bite Romeo realizes the consequences he´ll face for this. Prince soon finds out what happened and Romeo is officially banished. All this is major news when Juliet finally finds out. She is crushed by not only the loss of her beloved cousin but the fact that Romeo has been banished. How will she see her husband now? She does the only rational thing she can think of and runs from the arms of Nurse right to Friar Lawrence. He's a priest he must know what to do! Alas Friar comes up with a genius plan to fake Juliets death so she may leave and go be with Romeo far away from the town. She agrees and takes the mysterious potion and returns home. In the morning Nurse finds her ̈dead ̈. Her owners hold a short funeral service in their backyard before placing her in the open hole. Unfortunately Benvolio sees this and runs to tell Romeo. Benvolio tells Romeo that Juliet is dead only moments before the messenger pigeon arrives to say it's fake. Unfortunately those few moments caused both young kids their lives. As Romeo had already took off toward her grave.

326


Death Scene EXT. JULIET’S BACKYARD - IN FRONT OF THE CORNFIELD - 7 PM Romeo approaches a large hole in Juliet's backyard just before the start of her family´s cornfield. Next to the hole is a pile of freshly moved dirt. Crows fly in sunsetting sky. The grass all around the four feet deep hole is very lively and overgrown. At the edge of the cornfield a few feet behind the grave is a row of various beautiful flowers. The only pop of color around are the flowers against the green stalks in the acres of land behind them. At the head end of the grave sits a small wooden cross stuck in the ground. The two pieces of wood nailed together loosely with ¨JULIET¨ written in a child's handwriting in bright pink. ROMEO (gasps in shock and whimpers) Oh my dear, Juliet! What kind of toilet drinker has done this to you? (places his paw onto hers) Oh, you’re still so warm and soft! (places his head onto her thin body while whimpering) Juliet I miss you more than I miss my dedicated owners! (gently nuzzles into her side and licks her fluffy face as a tear rolls down his face) I will treat you as a stick that I am to fetch and faithfully come get you! (Nuzzles her more before quickly swallowing the chocolate he brought with him) I am coming for you Juliet! Soon we'll be together again!

327


(lays down beside her as he watches her still body) JULIET (slowly opens her eyes, yawns, and stretches before her eyes meet Romeo’s) Oh Romeo! It worked, you’re here! Now we can leave this place and live in our love (smiles wide ) ROMEO (gasps and smiles) My Juliet! My love! You’re alive! Unfortunately you have awoken a few minutes too late! JULIET (her smile turns to a frown as she sits) Romeo, what could you mean? ROMEO (slowly frowns) I’ve already made my effort to join you in heaven.

328


JULIET (looks Romeo up and down before seeing the pieces of a shredded wrapper) Romeo what have you done! ROMEO (Place his paw on hers again) I’ve made a grave mistake. My impatience has finally came back to bite me. JULIET (Covers her face with her paws) Romeo, what are we going to do? How is this going to work? ROMEO (Uncovers Juliet's face and kisses her) I still have about two hours! Let's make the most of our time together. JULIET (Smiles and wipes her teary eyes) You Ě re right. What are we gonna do then?

329


ROMEO (Grabs her paws and looks her directly in the eyes) Let's go to the beach beside the flower filled prairie! JULIET (Smiles brightly and shakes her head) Yes! Let Ě s do that! It's a wonderful idea. I Ě ve only been there once as I puppy. ROMEO (Smiles even brighter) Me too! Oh we have so much in common, Juliet! It's like every time we speak I learn new things about you! JULIET (Nods her head) Same for me, Romeo. Every word you say I fall more in love with you! We are so perfect for each other! ROMEO (Nodding his head very fast) I couldn't agree more. No matter what, Juliet, we will always know we are perfect for each other. You are my soulmate. (pointing at Juliet with his paw)

330


JULIET (Pointing back at Romeo) And you are my soulmate. ROMEO (Smiles before grabbing her paw and running with her toward the beach) Let's get going. We have lots to do in such a short amount of time. Whatever happens, Juliet, always know that I love you. Forever and always. JULIET (Runs along with Romeo) Oh, Romeo, I love you too. Forever and always. EXT. BEACH - ON THE SAND - SUNSET The sun is just beginning to set providing a beautiful orange glow across the sand and the pier. The water is mostly calm and only small waves crash into shore. All of the other families and beach goers have already retired to their home for the night leaving the beach empty. A few sticks and twigs are mixed into the fine sand. Romeo and Juliet are sitting on a neon towel left behind and staring at the sun.

331


ROMEO (Sitting next to Juliet and staring at the setting sun while holding her paw) By the time the sun is set, and we just have a chance to stare at the stars for a little while, I shall finally perish from the lands. JULIET (Frowns and hugs him tight) If only there was a way to delay the inevitable or prevent it all to begin with. I don't want to live without you, Romeo. I don't know if I can do it. ROMEO (Frowns and wipes her tears) Oh, Juliet. I don't want to live without you either. I'm sure you can make it. Live for me, Juliet. JULIET (Continues crying) I´m not sure I can, Romeo. Romeo (Interrupts Juliet and forces her to look at him)

332


Yes, you can. Here take this. (Hands her his collar) Have this to remember me by. It Ě ll always be with you and that means I can always be with you. You will always be with me. JULIET (Smiles and takes the red collar) Romeo, you Ě re so sweet. And I appreciate this so incredibly much but how will this collar ever compare to me actually being with you. ROMEO (Smiles) It may not be me completely. But it will be a piece of me. JULIET (Grins and hurriedly jumps up and looks at Romeo) Romeo, wait. I have an idea! What if I just go with you? ROMEO (Stares at Juliet) What do you mean? Will you poison yourself too?

333


JULIET (Smiles brightly) Yes, exactly! Then we can be together forever! ROMEO (Looks around) I ́m not sure if that's a good idea, Juliet. JULIET (Squints at Romeo) Of course it's a good idea! Then we can be together forever! Isn't that what you want? For us to be together? ROMEO (Smiles) Of course that's what I want, Juliet! I ́m just so shocked. You really love me that much?

334


JULIET (Grins) Yes, of course! My love for you is infinite! ROMEO (Smiles) Wow, Juliet. As is my love for you. You are truly a blessing and the love of my life. JULIET (Hurriedly looks around) Romeo, where's the chocolate? Do you have more? ROMEO (Forces her to look at him again) Juliet, calm down. You don't have to rush to eat it too. Maybe you should go a different way. So we leave at the same time. JULIET (Smiles) Oh, of course. You ́re right. I know how I ́ll do it now.

335


ROMEO (Smiles) I love you, Juliet. Now we can start our lives in the afterlife. We can live happily and have children. JULIET (hugs and kisses Romeo) Oh, Romeo that sounds so nice! Like the perfect little paradise ROMEO (kisses her back) Exactly! It's as if fate is on our side. JULIET (Grins) We Ě re so lucky to have been led to each other. ROMEO (Coughs) That we are, Juliet. It is getting harder to breathe, now.

336


JULIET (Looks at Romeo and hugs him) Oh, I Ě m so sorry you have to be in pain in you Ě re last moments. I wish there was something I could do. ROMEO (Smiles and coughs again) I have an idea. Let's just hurry the process along. Let's run to the street. Let's just get this over with now. JULIET (Smiles) That's a lovely idea, Romeo. ROMEO (Grabs Juliet and kisses her) I love you JULIET (Kisses Romeo again and runs off with him) I love you too

337


ROMEO (Jumps with Juliet in front of a semi) See you soon, Juliet JULIET See you soon, Romeo

During the death scene Romeo breaks into the tomb to see Juliet. Then out of nowhere Paris comes and sees Romeo and they start a fight. Paris kills him then, Juliet killed Paris and Juliet doesn’t know what to do. Her dad comes, despises her for faking her death and kills her for the pain that she caused everyone and doesn’t regret it either. That’s when Juliet’s mom comes into the tomb and sees that everyone is dead and then that’s when she actually starts to care about Juliet. So she drops to the floor and starts bawling her eyes out. Then she realizes that romeo was laying next to where she was at and noticed that Romeo had a gun and she felt like it would only be right if she died to so she could be with her family. She hesitated at first because she wasn’t sure but then she did it and turns out when Tybalt was already dead but he actually wasn’t and saw that everyone was dead and just ran away and told everyone. Ext. Manteau - Late afternoon (Balthasar drives up to Romeo’s trailer in a hot sunny desert sweat dripping down his face walking up to the door all tired and thirsty. Romeo opens the door all happy hoping for news from Verona.)

Romeo: (sounding all happy hugging Balthasar) Do you bring me words from Verona? How is my wife Juliet? How’s my family? Balthasar: (sounding tired but sad at the same time) Your family’s fine, but Juliet she’s um um- Romeo: ( cutting off Balthasar anxious to know shaking him to hurry up and tell him) Um what? What’s wrong? Is she okay? Balthasar: Well um I don’t know how to tell this but………….(resisting then sighs) she’s dead. Romeo:(in disbelief having an anxious attack) What do you mean? How can she be dead? I was just with her . I don’t believe this. (falls to the floor and faints) (Balthasar pours water on Romeo to wake him up) Romeo: (gasps and wakes up) I HAVE TO GO AND SEE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!! (Both rushes in the car and speeds up to reach Verona quickly) Ext. Verona-Dusk (Romeo kicks Balthasar out of the car and speeds off to see Juliet’s body) Prince: WHAT IS ROMEO DOING BACK HERE!!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Montague: ROMEO LEAVE GET OUT OF HERE NOWWWWW!!! Mr. and Mrs. Capulet: (getting their guns out and loaded aiming for Romeo’s head) Shoot now and don’t miss!! (Romeo dodged the bullets so they missed) Romeo: Ha you missed Capulets (Prince points gun at Romeo) BOOM! (Romeo got shot in the arm by Prince who is in the helicopter) Romeo: Ouch! shoot good thing I always keep tweezers and bandages with me (Romeo pulling bullet out with gentleness not to make it worse and then wraps it up to stop the bleeding) Romeo: Now where would Juliet’s tomb be, because I honestly never even thought about that. Guess I should’ve thought this through before actually doing it (Romeo thinking of where her tomb could be, then out of nowhere Balthasar walks up scaring Romeo to where he points his gun at him) Romeo: Hmmmm, where would my fair lady be held at? Balthasar; I know where she’s kept at Romeo: (Jumping up scared and points gun at Balthasar) Dude you scared the life out of me! I thought you were someone who was trying to kill me! Balthasar: Woah man chill out let me just show you to her tomb

Capulet tomb- dark Balthasar: Here we are Romeo: Thanks man hope I get to see you again, now go so you don’t get caught (Balthasar does a little handshake with Romeo, smiles, then walks away) (Romeo breaks the lock on the door with a knife he had in his pocket and throws it on the ground) Int. Capulet tomb- midnight (Romeo finds Juliet laying on her bed candles all around her) Romeo: (Holding her hand)This isn’t right, my fair lady kill herself. Why? Could it be because I had to leave? (Juliet wakes up at the slight touch of her hand and hears everything Romeo just said) Juliet: No not because of you. It was just too much to handle I didn’t know what else to do.

357


Romeo: (jumps a little when she speaks but then smiles) Juliet I missed you. (kiss) But why would you do that to me? I was scared. Juliet: I’m sorry, but you were supposed to get a letter that it was all fake. (meanwhile Paris walks up and hears everything) Romeo: What are you talking about? I never got no letter. Juliet: Sorry to change the subject but watch out!!!!!! (Paris runs up with a knife and stabs Romeo in the back of the head) Romeo: What are you talking about…………..(turns around).

This a story of a fantasy world where humans know nothing of werewolves, fairies, vampires, etc, the two main characters are Romania and Julio. Romania is a vampire and Julio is a wolf, these are the two creatures that can never get along, but unlike others, they are the ones to fall in love and learn how to love one another. This story is more serious and intense, not so lovey dovey like others. INT. IN THE CHURCH - DAYTIME Friar William is in the church, where he is standing next to Romania on the altar looking down on her while she lies on her casket. FRIAR WILLIAM (Sighs) You’ll be awake in no time young Romania, and then you will get to be with Julio. (Sighs again and rubs his scalp) Bailey enters the church and sees Romania at in her casket with father william looking down at her BAILY Oh no FRIAR WILLIAM (turns around and see Bailey. Extends his arm in a reaching way) It's not what it looks like BAILY (Bailey runs out of church, gets in the car and drives off) FRIAR WILLIAM ( He calls his assistant louis in an urgent voice) Louis, quickly try to get a hold of Julio as soon as possible, he mustn't find out about Romania from Bailey first. LOUIS (nods at father william with a serious and out of breath face) I’ll get the word out as soon as I can (louis starts to run towards his office) FRIAR WILLIAM (he holds his hand like he is praying, closes his eyes and lifts his head up to the ceiling, and sighs)

360


I feel more darkness coming this way, Lord, give us all the strength to bear it, for it will change everything around us. In this scene Friar William does not get a hold of Julio because of his business trip, so right away instead they send him a letter, which also doesn’t work friar William gets a hold of Bailey and explains to him what is going on so he can tell Julio personally. SCENE CHANGE. ON THE HIGHWAY - DAYTIME - AFTER BAILEY SEES ROMANIA IN CASKET BAILY Bailey is driving, he looks out the window, and sees a local telephone, he stops the car and goes to the telephone pole (Bailey dials a number) (He has the phone to his ear and waits) Hey Julio, I gotta meet up with you man, there's something I gotta tell you. JULIO Julio is holding his phone to his ear sitting on a table outside looking around his desert area When do you want to meet? I’m on my trip so maybe next week. BAILEY (Still holding the phone to his ear and talking to Romeo on the other line) Alright, we'll meet up with me as soon as possible. (Bailey jogs back to his car) SCENE CHANGES-NIGHT TIME - 1 DAY LATER JULIO (He walks with his suitcase towards a taxi, he puts the suitcase in the trunk and gets in the car) Take me to Montegue headquarters, a.s.a.p. (Julio closes the door and sets back) The car starts and speeds off to their destination JULIO (He dials a number and holds the phone to his ear) Hey Bailey, I just wanted to let you know that I’m here and that I’m on my way to headquarters, so meet me there. The scene changes to Bailey sitting on a chair BAILEY Alright, I’ll be here in my office. 361


Scene moves to Julio arriving Julio pulls up in a taxi, he gets out of the car gets out and walks towards the building. Julio walks up to Bailey and smiles, they hug and sit on the lobby chairs. JULIO Ay my good friend, como estas? BAILEY Very good, y tu? (Smiles) I’m great, listo to see Romania. Where is she by the way? It is night time, she should be here, dónde está la bella vampira? BAILEY That’s who I wanted to talk about with you. (Bailey hangs his head low) Está muerta, Julio. Well for most people JULIO (His smile goes away) What? What do you mean? BAILEY I saw her in her casket when I was going for confession. Her funeral is today, I just found out. JULIO What? This can not be I saw her a few days ago, everything was perfectly fine, where is her family? Our baby? BAILEY They are at Friar William’s church, but Julio you must know something, her death was planned, when you left for your business trip people tried to kill her, some rogues know she is caring the lycan king. She faked her death for you guys, even both of the families disapprove of your relationship, and the baby is fine, she only drank something to make her seem dead. JULIO Why didn’t she tell me? What if something worse would have happened if I wasn’t informed of this? There has to be another reason for this, do you know another reason for this. (Julio holds his head) 362


BAILEY I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask her tomorrow at midnight when she awakes, but for now it's best we go to church so people won’t get suspicious. They get up and head for the doors, outside is a limo waiting for them. JULIO Yes, you’re right, but I’m still upset, I told Romania to not be afraid, they mess with her they got me and my pack to deal with, they can’t do anything if it means death to the ones that try to kill or hurt her too. BAILEY Ay Julio, calmado, everything will be alright. Have faith. JULIO That's what they all say. Romania too. (Sighs) They get in the Baileys car EXT - SCENE CHANGES - NIGHTTIME - MIDNIGHT- CHURCH Marcus, Julio’s best friend, despises the Capulet family, this is a war that occurred a decade ago between the vampires and werewolves, where the vampires killed his parents. When he got married to Romania that was the end of Marcus and Julio’s friendship. Now Marcus plans to kill them because he believes that vampires and werewolves should never cross paths. Marcus is outside behind the church, smoking a cigarette. Toby walks into the scene and stands next to him. MARCUS Have you told the others? TOBY Yup, they’ll be ready. (sighs) MARCUS (chuckles) Julio just doesn’t know what's coming, he should have stuck to the ancient law, now he made his deathbed. 363


TOBY (looks at marcus) Why can’t we just let it be? There is really no need for this, things have changed, the world isn’t the same. Our worlds aren’t the same, maybe change is good. MARCUS (walks towards Toby) Well its not! Not to me and it sure wasn’t for my dead parents! Marcus starts to walk away, towards the woods behind the church. MARCUS Just let me know when Julio is here for Romania. TOBY How did you even find out she planned this? Marcus keeps walking into the woods. TOBY (Sighs) Why do I have a feeling he’ll do something he’ll regret? Toby walks away and into the darkness. Scene moves to Julio and Bailey Julio walks up to the church doors with bailey. JULIO (Looks at Bailey) What do I do? BAILEY Take this as if it really was her funeral. Maybe cry, get on your knees and yell why? Why god? Why me? Bailey dramatically throws his hands around. JULIO (Annoyed) I’m serious Bailey, lets just go in, vamos. 364


They walk into the church, walk down the aisle to where both families are sitting opposite in the front.They sit next to Julio's parents. Father william is on the churches alter about to begin the mass for Romania. FRIAR WILLIAM Hello everyone, we gather here today to mourn a loved one, Romania. She has sadly left us too early, this is a moment we weren’t up for, but young Romania left for a reason. Please, let’s bow our heads and say a silent prayer for the family and her. People pray silently but in sync, it is quiet for awhileAll of a sudden there was a loud interruption, and you guessed it, it was Marcus. MARCUS Julio! Where are you? (marus sings) People turn around to see what's going on. FRIAR WILLIAM (looks up) Excuse me young man this a private mass MARCUS (looks at the father) Be quiet old man! You know damn well this isn’t a real mass. Julio gets up and starts to walk towards Marcus slowly. JULIO Marcus what are you doing? Here isn’t the place to settle things, as you can see, ( Julio points towards Romania’s casket) this is my wife's funeral. MARCUS (chuckles) It will be when I'm done with you both, don’t think I don't know what you have up your sleeve Friar william, she’s not dead. People start to whisper some gasp. JULIO You speak nonsense, you are no longer welcome here Marcus, I ask you peacefully to leave. MARCUS Not without a fight. I will kill you and your wife. (pulls out gun) 365


Marcus shoots his gun in the air. People scream. MARCUS Everybody out or you’re all dead too! People scatter for nearest exit, some still screaming. FRIAR WILLIAM Julio, quick get Romania, it is almost time for her to wake up. MARCUS You’re not going anywhere Julio, you betrayed me and your people, nobody is happy with your decision, come and fight like a real man! Marcus starts to shoot towards Julio.Bailey tries to block Marcus, they start to fight. Bailey looks at Julio when he knocks Marcus to the ground. BAILEY I’ll try to hold him back! Take Romania to safety! Julio gathers Romania in his arms and starts to carry her. When there's a gunshot, Julio looks back and sees Bailey on the ground holding his leg yelling in pain. Marcus then struggles to get up, he walks around Bailey, Marcus starts to chase Julio. MARCUS Julio! (marcus yells) Come back here! Marcus shoots in the air again still chasing after Julio and Romania. Julio still carrying Romania hurryingly follows Friar William through the churches halls towards the exit. Romania starts to awake in Julios arms. EXT - MIDNIGHT - CHURCH PARKING LOT ROMANIA Julio. They get out through a back door and head towards Baileys car. ROMANIA Julio, what's going on? 366


JULIO Romania, mi hermosa, your awake. They share a kiss, depart and smile at each other. FRIAR WILLIAM You must go, I have to stay and take care of the church, go quickly. JULIO But Marcus, he is ruthless which means he will go after you too. FRIAR WILLIAM I’ll be alright, I have a place to hide, but really you must go. Friar William grabs both of Romanias and Julios hands and says a small prayer for both of them. He lets go when he is done, he nods and heads back to the back to the church. That's when Marcus comes out and calls for Julio again and shoots the car. MARCUS Julio (marcus yells) In the car Julio starts the car and drives off the church parking lot. Marcus continues to shoot at them as he drives behind them. They enter the road that leads into the woods. Marcus closely chases after Romania and Julio and bumps his car against theirs. Julio tries to speed up but it is no use and Mercus once again bumps into their car only this time harder. Julio halts to a stop because he’s at a dead end. Marcus’ car crashes against Julio's car and pushes it over the edge of the road. The car flips, and Marcus crashes into a tree. In the car Julio and Romania struggle to get out of the car. JULIO Romania, are you okay? Romania kicks the car door, she crawls out and gets up. ROMANIA Yes I’m okay, are you. She looks a Julio who is crawling out from where she kicked the door JULIO Yes, we got to move fast, Marcus is probably alright and ready to chase us. 367


Marcus sneaks up behind them and grabs Julio and hits him on the head with the butt of his gun and punches Julio, Romania screams. Julio falls to the ground, he gets up and starts to punch Marcus. Marcus falls to the ground, letting go of the gun, Julio gets the gun and shoots Marcus on the shoulder. Marcus yells, Julio gabs Romania's hand and they start to run through the woods. JULIO Come on! In the distance there is Toby standing on a hill, he watched what happened, Marcus's followers are behind him ready for orders. TOBY All of you go after Julio, I’ll take care of Marcus The group departs. EXT - EARLY MORNING - IN THE WOODS Julio and Romania are running through the forest, there is a group of werewolves running after them, julio shifts to his wolf and lets Romania get on his back, they keep running. They get far enough from the rogues to stop. While Romania was on Julio's back she saw vampires jumping from tree to tree ahead of them. Someone calls Romania’s name, Romania looks around to see where it came from. Julio suddenly stops, a girl jumps in front of them, its Melissa, Romania’s best friend. MELISSA Romania! ROMANIA Melissa! ROMANIA Melissa what are you doing here? How did you know we were even here? MELISSA When we were in the church Marcus said something about you not being dead, I thought to myself, I knew it, I knew she wouldn’t die out of nowhere, especially with the future king of wolves and vamps. So I stayed behind when I saw the chaos that was happening, I followed your cars here. (smiles) 368


ROMANIA I see you called for help too. (smiles) Around ten vampires jump off from the trees and move towards Romania and Julio. ROMANIA Well we better get moving, they are moving fast. MELISSA Okay, we’ll hold them back. You guys get to safety. ROMANIA Thank you so much my great friend (looks around at the group of all the vamps) Thank you all. Julio and Romania start to run, Romania looks back and sees the wolves catch up, the vampires hold them from going any farther. They are running when they see a clearing and run faster. All of a sudden they are stopped by a wolf, Julio stops and growls at the wolf, the wolf growls back. ROMANIA Julio, let me get down. Julio obeys, he then starts to circle the wolf, the wolf attacks first he bites down on Julio’s side, Julio whimpers in pain. Romania tries to get the wolf off of Julio, she gets a hold of the wolf and throws it against a tree, Julio is injured, he turns back into his human form and immediately yells in pain. Romania goes to his side and sees the bleeding, she takes off her jacket and places it over his body she puts pressure on his wound. JULIO (heavily breaths) Romania...mi hermosa,... this injury is bad,... I don’t think I’m going to make it…. ROMANIA (cries) Don’t say that Julio! You can’t die now, please, our baby needs you, I need you.. Romania starts to sob tears ran down her cheeks. Melissa and the other vampires come into this part of the scene and see Julio on the ground bleeding, they stop in their tracks. The werewolf that was by the tree is Marcus, he turns back to his human form, and walks over to where julio and Romania are. Julio there grabs Romania’s hand. 369


JULIO I’m sorry Romania...I wish I could stay longer...tell my child stories about me...Te quiero tesoro…don’t forget... Julio closes his eyes and take his last breath, his hand goes limp on Romania’s. Romania starts crying and screaming. Marcus starts to back up slowly and begins to apologize. MARCUS Oh no, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m so- Romania in anger gets up and attacks Marcus, she has him pinned to the ground then she extends fangs and starts killing him by draining him. Romania starts sobbing, she goes back to her husband and cries in his dead arms, Melissa comes from behind her and helps her up, the other vampires grab Julio’s body and carry him to the ambulance that came too late. Next - FIVE DAYS LATER - THE SACRED LAKE It is Julio’s funeral, everyone has gathered to wish his soul goodbye. Julio lays in a bed of flowers on a boat, Romania stands by him, sobbing quietly. Melissa comes and stands next to her. MELISSA Romania. ROMANIA (wipes her tears) Yes MELISSA The ceremony is going to begin. Romania nods and looks towards Julio, she gently touches his face, she turns back to Melissa, Melissa grabs hugs Romania. MELISSA It will be okay, it will be okay. Have faith, the young lycan baby,( Melissa touches Romania’s swollen belly) will be the one to change our worlds, it was destiny said by the prophecy. ROMANIA Yes, you’re right. The ceremony starts and they gently put Julio's body in the water. Everyone watches in silence as the boat flows away, people then put floating candles and leave little by little. Romania and Melissa are the last ones, they put their candles in the water and slowly 370
