Juliet: Romeo, O Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
[breathing heavy]
Romeo: Shall I hear more,
or shall I speak at this?
Juliet: "Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montegue.
What's Montegue?
It is not hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face,
nor any other part belonging to a man.
O, be some other name! [sigh]
What's in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called.
Retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title.
Romeo doff thy name.
And for thy name, which is no part of thee, take all myself.
Romeo: I take thee at thy word. Juliet: [screams]
[splashing]
[gasping for air]
Juliet: Art thou not Romeo? And a Montegue?
Romeo: Neither of them, if either thee dislike.
Juliet: How comest thy hither and tell me and wherefore?
The garden walls are high and hard to climb,
and the place death, considering who thou art.
Romeo: With love's light wings did I perch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
and what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
[spashing]
[gate opening]
[dogs barking]
[splashing and gasping for air]
Juliet: If they do see thee, they will murder thee!
Romeo: I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes,
[soft music]
but thou love me, let them find me here.
My life were better ended by their hate
than death proroguèd,
wanting of thy love.
[soft music]
