Voice Memo from Juliet
romeo. romeo. ugh, why does he have to be a montague? i wish he’d just change his name. or if he said he’ll me forever, then i’d give up my last name. c-ya, capulet! what’s the point of names anyway? srsly. you could call a a different name, and it would still just as sweet. grr. stop being a montague and we can be together, romeo! that’s better than anything else.
Voice Memo from Romeo
I totally get what she’s saying. I just need to know that I’m her one true . Then I’ll drop Montague like a bad habit.
Juliet
wait, romeo, is that you? have you been to me this whole time?
Romeo
Maaaybe.
I want to show my face, but I know I shouldn’t. Because I’m a Montague.
Juliet
no, keep texting. it’s easier this way. you’re too far down.
i don’t want my family to you yelling. they’ll be srsly upset. i’m talking, like, pissed.
how did you even get here? the walls around here are really high.
Romeo
I scaled them, NBD. I couldn’t wait to see you again!
And I’m not afraid of your family.
Juliet
you should be. if they see you here, they’ll kill you!
Romeo
So what? That’s nothing compared to being rejected by you. Chill.
Juliet
sorry, it’s just…i’d do anything to make sure they don’t catch you.
Romeo
Hello. I’m hidden in the dark. Plus, if you’re not into me after all, then I’d rather be dead.
I can’t live without you!
Juliet
srsly, how did you know where my bedroom was?
Romeo
I just followed my . It led the way.
Juliet
it’s a good thing it’s dark. you’re making me blush.
listen, romeo. i really, really like you. i know i should have played hard-to-get, but i guess it’s too late for that.
you heard me just now. i’m so into you. i mean…
i you, romeo.
Romeo
Juliet, I swear on the .
Juliet
you swear on a piece of rock in the sky? um.
but the moon always changes.
Romeo
What should I swear on then?
Juliet
maybe we shouldn’t make any promises yet. all of this happened as fast as .
we have a good thing going. let’s see what happens the next time we meet.
i’m gonna go now. hope you sleep as well as i plan to.
Romeo
You’re leaving me already??
Juliet
what else is there to say?
Romeo
For starters, I’d be happy if we promised to each other forever. I’m talking, like, making it real. Like, married real.
Juliet
i’ve already poured my out to you. i’d take it back if i could.
Romeo
What the duck, Juliet!
The duck.
Ugh! Autocorrect.
Juliet

Romeo
WTF Juliet. Why would you say that
Juliet
i’m just teasing. i mean i’d take it back so i could give it to you again and again.

Romeo
