Modern R and J scene
Ben- (still dancing) Romy, what is wrong?
Lady Marmalade- (still dancing) She is depressed about losing Ross.
Romy- (looking like crap, drinking shots) I never want to see another man again.
Bartender/Mab-(up and down counter, pretending to pour more shots)
LM- (sits at counter) So does that mean you will not be coming to the Capulets party with us?
Romy- no, I’ll stay here at the “counter”.
Ben- (sits at counter) Come on. We will just walk in, dance a little, then leave.
Romy- I would not dance. I would only stand around thinking about Ross.
LM- Why don’t you clear your mind of Ross. You could have another shot.(motions for bartender)
Romy- That wouldn’t help. Love doesn’t just go away.
LM- Do not let love find you.
Romy- Love sucks.
LM- Get over it. Be rough with love. Whip it.
Ben- (tries to change subject) we could just go in, dance and have fun. You wouldn’t even remember Ross.
Romy- Why should I go if I can just stay here?
Lm- You are wasting time. Come on.
Romy- Then go without me.
Lm- you are wasting daylight.
Romy- This is the Capulets party. It is not smart for us to go.
LM- Why?
Romy- I had a dream last night.
LM- I had a dream to.
Romy- What was your dream?
LM- That dreamers lie!
Romy- How do you know what is fake when you are asleep?
Lm- (taking too many shots, getting drunk) Queen Mab has been up your nose.
Romy- Who is she?
Bartender- (Bartender turns into queen mab, wears bunny ears or something)
Lm- She is a fairy that makes men dream of their fantasies. Think of her as sort of like the playboy bunny.
Romy- Shut up Lady Marmalade. You don’t know what you are talking about.
Lm- Someone’s PMSing…Dreams happen to lazy people. They have no substance.
Ben- The food is hot and I don’t want to be late.
Romy- I dreamed that someone died, but if I have to lets go
Ben- Woohoo! Let’s go!
Queen Mab- (just keep hopping)
