Juliet & Romeo (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

In the year 1301,

Italy was still only an idea.

Oh way, oh way, oh...

The most powerful families

ruled their cities

as self-governed states.

Oh way, oh way, oh...

As the battle for control raged

between the royals

and the tyrannical new Pope

seeking to seize it all...

Oh way, oh way, oh...

...in fair Verona, the conflict

had already arrived,

with the royals' Prince Escalus

sent to choose

which family to align with

against the Pope's

coming as*ault.

The Montagues,

with an eldest son and heir

already rebelling against the

future being demanded of him,

or the Capulets,

with a sole daughter

as their only promise

for the future,

called back

from years away at school

for a secret alliance

she couldn't possibly

have expected.

Two families

on a path towards w*r.

Two star-crossed lovers

caught in the tragedy

that would take their lives.

Oh way, oh...

That was the past

that precedes our tale.

But if these are

to be my final words,

then let them

at least be the truth.

For we all share the guilt

for the real cause

of the death

of these two young hearts,

who accidentally

and far too innocently

simply fell in love.

Seems you've done

what no other could, Friar.

You've brought Capulet

and Montague together.

Yes.

Then let that be my history,

for Romeo of Montague

and Juliet of Capulet,

these are the pages

that will tell

how their story

ended here tonight.

And it shall be so written.

And from your hand,

may history forever read it so,

the tragedy of Juliet

and her Romeo.

Romeo?

Where the hell are thou, Romeo?

How are you?

Uh, cutting it a little

close there, aren't you?

All's well that ends well.

-Uh, no, not usually.

-Oh.

As you should well know, cousin.

-Romeo.

-My friend.

A new one from Dante?

-Thank you, Rodrigo.

-Come on, Romeo.

Something strange

in the water

Come on, take us up.

Something different

in the sky

Even the hottest fire

Can't warm the coldest night

Eyes blinded by the colors

Welcome, gentlemen.

Ears deafened to the sounds

What used to be familiar

Feels so strange to me now

I know I'm meant

for something more

I'd die for what

I'm living for

Even though

I am on my own, yeah

Even though, even though

Nothing is stranger

When the stranger is you

You

Nothing is stranger

When the stranger is you

You

Everything, everything

has changed from

Everything that you knew

Nothing is stranger

When the stranger is you

You.

-Ah-h*, well, finally.

-Mercutio.

Finally, I see some

friendly faces. Brother.

-Come sit.

-It's nice to see you.

What do you say we just

go and get a drink instead?

-Oh, doesn't that sound lovely?

-They look scared.

They don't look scared.

They look a little scared.

Oh, look at the Capulet.

He's like a walking wall.

Brother,

you didn't tell your father

that I was fighting

in your stead, did you?

Thought he'd enjoy the surprise.

No, you didn't.

Come on.

They're just games, Mercutio.

No, they're not.

-Be cool. Be cool.

-Romeo.

Too much of a coward to fight me

yourself, Montague?

Good to see you, too, Tybalt.

Oh, I was so

looking forward to it.

Hey!

-Come on!

-I said, "Be cool."

This is cool!

We're having a great time!

My cloak.

-Lay off, lay off.

-My cloak.

Just remember

his weak left hand.

-For the Capulets.

-Capulets!

-Montagues!

-Montagues!

Come on.

-You see that?

-Yeah!

We're here, my lady.

Lady Juliet.

You're just leaving?

Tell me if it gets interesting.

Romeo.

The fight is back here.

They are beautiful, sir.

And rare.

Works this precious

do not appear often, my lady.

Which you, no doubt,

told your last customer

and will surely tell your next.

Romeo.

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah.

Don't I look okay?

Well, you are under as*ault.

Yeah, uh,

I'll take care of you later.

-Mm.

-Uh...

Did he really hit you so hard

you've lost all your words?

No, it-it's just, uh,

I don't know you,

and I know everyone.

How can I not know you?

Let me help you.

You dropped your book.

You're not interested

in watching the match?

Two boys swinging their swords

at one another?

I'm okay.

You read Dante Alighieri.

I heard he was writing about

his, uh, exile from the Church.

They, uh, smuggle copies

into our school

whenever they make

their way to France.

-You go to school in France?

-I do.

What are you doing in Verona?

Just visiting?

Oh, was that a question?

No, no, that was an answer

with a clever inflection

at the end, I guess.

You keep it

until you get back to France.

Are either one of you actually

gonna buy something from me?

Sadly, I have no money.

I gave my last gold to the man

who attacked me

with the pillows.

Quite the pair we make, eh?

Two fools without fortune.

-You sure I don't know you?

-Where is she?

-Oh.

-Um, I have to go.

What, now? To where?

Uh, wherever it is

I should be next, I suppose.

An adventure. I like adventures.

I love adventures, too.

It's just,

I-I don't know your name.

Then it's a mystery

and an adventure,

something for each of us.

I'll let you know how it ends.

Herbs to ease your nerves,

young Montague?

You look like

you could use some.

I thought you promised Friar

you'd stop practicing

your dark arts.

Science is neither dark nor art.

It's just nature.

And these are just herbs,

I swear,

but they will make you dream.

Add it to my tab.

Your tab is getting rather full,

Master Montague.

Look at you.

-Juliet.

-Oh.

I've missed you, too, Daddy.

Go and see your mother.

Juliet, all of Verona will now

raise their eyes to you.

Keep running

till I'm out of breath

Away, oh

Keep running

till there's nothing left, no

Nothing is stranger

When the stranger is you

You.

Yeah!

Hey! Hey!

There's to be

an exhibition match.

Blood's what they came for.

And blood's what they've got.

Did you at least win?

Juliet.

Look who's no longer

the little girl

who left us to see the world.

Look who's no longer

the young boy

play-fighting in the stables.

You play-fight

on larger fields now, cousin.

We really did miss you.

Am I to wait until morning?

It's good to be home, isn't it?

Coming, Mother.

So is the new year.

Talk later?

I want to hear everything.

Might a friend join you

in your search

for the bottom of that bottle?

Yeah, what bottle?

This is a house of God.

Did you offer him a drink, then?

A toast?

Yeah, how about to blindness?

Play-fighting

for the prince today?

You think we had a choice?

Montagues and Capulets have been

drawing swords

since before you were born,

but this time it is different.

Maybe.

But nothing I do

will make a difference.

Yeah, are you trying

to fool you or me?

You are the heir to Montague,

and in the end,

this end will be of your making,

whether you like it or not.

And I, for one, would have it

in no better hands than yours.

Oh, you're in a happy mood.

What aren't you telling me?

Well...

I did meet a girl today.

You meet a girl every day.

No, no, no.

Not like this one.

No, it was...

...her smile.

Oh.

You're really back.

I can't believe it's really you.

I thought I'd never

see you again.

It all seems smaller.

Mm, well, I think it was we

who were smaller.

You shouldn't have come back.

I have a thing for you.

I've missed you and envied you,

but I think I smiled

most of all knowing

that you were so far from here.

-Um...

-There's a whole story.

But I mean it, Juliet,

you should have never come back.

And yet...

here I am, so...

...what are you to do with me?

You two look up to no good.

Oh, but it's the only

look I have.

Have you really not been told

why I've been called back?

All will be clear in time.

I'm sure.

Come, let's get you settled.

Tonight.

She seems happy-- Juliet.

Well, she's home, finally.

Why wouldn't she be happy?

This alliance we're making,

is it really necessary

what you're planning?

We've always

held our own before.

Things have never

been this way before.

It's either Rome or the Pope.

What we do here now

is the future of Verona.

Are you well?

-Yes, sir.

-Good man.

I trust you enjoyed the games

tonight, Your Highness?

Not as much as I suspect

you and Lord Capulet

enjoyed presenting them.

I asked for this meeting

to pledge my house to Rome.

An oath of good faith.

Well, should Rome finally choose

to seize Verona for the Crown,

then as all others

across the empire have fallen,

so will you fall with them.

With or without your faith

or your pledge.

Prince who speaks his truth.

Then let me mirror it

with my own,

should Rome

truly cast her eyes on us,

to join a fight

against Pope Boniface.

You'd be well served to have

a loyal representative here.

And you'd be

our loyal law of Verona?

That I would.

Lord Capulet is off

maneuvering,

manipulating, plotting.

With Lord Paris?

As you certainly well knew,

Lord Bernardo.

If Rome's to win this w*r,

it needs faithful warriors.

Not diplomats.

And yet you couldn't even

marshal your own son

to fight for your side today.

He was raised without

the weight of w*r.

The next time you see him,

trust me, he'll be different.

You were wrong about him.

He's more primal than proud.

Time will tell.

He's not wrong about

the Capulets and the Montagues.

No, I swear, I swear.

I was visited by a dream,

and that dream was...

...that I won!

Queen ma'am looking lovely

as usual, darling.

You'll clean yourselves up

before entering my house.

Your house? My dear Vesante,

I thought your house

was our home.

Come to be healed, have you?

And you, master of it all,

did we at least win today?

Well...

you'd have to ask the prince.

He's the only audience

who mattered.

And? Did you?

Did you ask the prince?

He seemed busy.

Busy.

Mercutio, are those

for Veronica, then?

Oh, no, this one

is for Veronica.

She just has

to take it off me first.

No, these I have purchased

so that all of you can do

what you like with them.

Now...

one of our members tonight

seems a bit more quiet

than usual.

-Out.

-Out.

And he wasn't at

my exhibition match, either.

-Out!

-Out!

Where were you tonight, brother?

Mm-hmm?

-No.

-Oh, he's in love.

-He's in love!

-No, I'm not...

Yes, he is. Yes, he is.

The smiles are knowing,

and the dimples are growing.

Tell us who she is, brother.

Oh, come on. What's in a name?

Well, more than I care

to share with you.

-What about with me?

-Especially you.

Oh!

Seems like all the more mystery

to solve, then, to me.

And would you rather

stay here and solve his

or come upstairs

and unravel mine?

Ooh.

You fought well today, Mercutio.

Well, as I said,

one of us had to.

Now, this next round...

is on me, everybody!

I see

-Your head in the clouds

-No.

And, baby, I know

how to bring you down

Hey, hey, I'm feeling it now

So lay back and let me

take off your crown

Let down your hair

and blow out the lights

Don't you be scared,

tell me what you like

There's a whole lot

of wrong here

But we get it right,

yeah, we get it right

Yeah, we get it right

Just 'cause

I love you tonight

Don't mean

I'm-a love you tomorrow

I know we're closer tonight

Than we've ever been before

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

I just need a little,

not too much

Can I get a minute

of your touch?

I don't want it all,

I just want enough

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love

Baby, when we're all alone

We do things

I can't do on my own

Don't know

where this will lead

But I know that

there's no guarantee

So come here,

we can blow out the lights

Don't you be scared,

tell me what you like

There's a whole lot

of wrong here

But we get it right,

yeah, we get it right

Yeah, we get it right

Just 'cause

I love you tonight

Don't mean

I'm-a love you tomorrow

And I know

we're closer tonight

Than we've ever been before

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

I just need a little,

not too much

Can I get a minute

of your touch?

I don't want it all,

I just want enough

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love

-Hey!

-Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Whoa, whoa

Whoa

Just 'cause

I love you tonight

Don't mean

I'm-a love you tomorrow

Just 'cause

we're closer tonight

Than we've ever been before

Whoa

I just need a little,

not too much

Can I get a minute

of your touch?

I don't want it all,

I just want enough

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean, no, oh, oh

Hey, Romeo.

Oh, oh, oh

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean, no, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love.

Tell me, dear apothecary,

what did you make of today?

I believe that Rome

and the Church

now cast their eyes

toward our beautiful Verona.

And now I fear that neither

will turn away this time.

You sneak out here every night?

Yeah, well, you got to escape

and see the real world.

Good evening, ladies.

Thank you, sir.

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Warm welcome, Father.

You risked us all today.

You shamed us all.

Don't you get it?

Mighty Rome is coming

for Verona.

And it can have it.

Listen to me.

They choose the Capulets,

and we are done.

Nothing--

there'll be nothing left.

Not just the comfort

of these walls we'll lose.

It's our blood. It's everything.

You will stand with this family

or you'll stand alone, son.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

ooh, ooh, ooh

In between rhyme and reason

I am caught in the storm

And the heat

of the cross fire

Is all I know

If my blood

is gold and silver

Why do I feel at home

In the rags of my brothers

Down below?

Romeo! Romeo!

Something better

than this has got to be coming

Know that

it's got to be coming

Even if I can't see it

down the road

Something better than this

has got to be coming

And I say, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Let these roads

Take us home

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let these roads

Take us home

And the streets

that I wander

Let's go.

Don't feel the same no more

'Cause these lives

and this city

I've outgrown

Veronica.

Something better than this

has got to be coming

And I say, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Let these roads

Take us home

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let these roads

-Let's get you out of here.

-Take us home

And I say, oh

Come on.

Oh, oh, oh

Let these roads take us home

Know that it's got

to be coming

Better than this

has got to be coming.

What? Hey, it's me.

Sorry.

Your lip.

It was your father?

Listen, I know I'm only

your younger cousin,

but I could also be your friend.

You can trust me.

Well, look who blessed our path.

And without his normal entourage

to shield him.

Haven't you had enough fighting

for today, Tybalt?

Oh, not enough to keep me

from you, Montague.

Come, let us play that match

you hid from today

and prove which family

should be left standing.

I had no reason

to fight you then.

This is not the night

to pick one with me.

Oh, whoa, whoa, hey!

What is this?

Oh, such a shame to see.

And three against

one and a half-- Leopold.

I could've taken them.

These are such unfair odds.

Oh, for the poor Capulets,

perhaps.

You don't want this fight.

And yet this fight

is what we have.

-Play on.

-Whoa! Whoa! Hey!

Leopold, don't you bite me.

Romeo, behind you!

Did you just bite my thumb?

Stop it!

Montagues! Let's go!

Oi, watch it!

Are you okay?

-Get him!

-Tybalt, this way!

Quick, quick, quick, quick!

They're up ahead!

-Stop them!

-Stop! Stop!

Get in!

They're up ahead!

They're at the back there!

Help me out.

He went down there.

They're at the back there!

-Stop right there!

-You!

It's okay, I think you can

loosen up your lips now.

I'm, uh, not sure what to say.

You can tell me

I'm a good kisser.

You're a great kisser, actually.

Oh.

I don't know

why I just said that.

The truth shall set you free.

Not usually, no.

Did you learn that in France?

I just need to stop talking.

I thought I lost you.

Wait, you know him?

Oh, you idiot.

She's the girl, huh?

Perhaps we should delay

these interrogations for later.

This way. Come on.

Hey, you! You there, stop!

Who are you?

Really.

Well, what's in a name, really?

And I say, oh

Come on.

Oh, oh, oh

Know that it's got

to be coming

Better than this

has got to be coming

I know that it's

got to be coming.

In here.

Well, this is ominous.

Gonna have to ask him

about those.

-Come on.

-You okay?

I just need a...

If you...

Yeah.

Oh.

I loosened it for you.

This is equally curious.

I have to ask him

about that, too.

We're above

the ancient catacombs.

Do you trust me?

Not yet.

Get your own.

sh**t.

How'd you know

all this was down here?

I've been surveying

these salt mines

since I was old enough to walk.

My family owns half of them.

Yeah?

And the other half?

What's down there?

Leads outside the city walls.

An escape.

That's good to know.

Come on. It's this way.

Friar?

Friar?

You were fighting with them.

The Montagues.

Against the Capulets.

Whom you were hiding from.

Though now at least

I know why you seem so...

Familiar?

Daughter of Capulet.

But no longer the...

young girl I once saw

playing in the river

as if it were her own ocean.

And you...

...no longer the boy I once saw

scaling the city walls

as if the whole world

could be yours.

I don't remember me.

Not the way you do.

Maybe you choose not to.

And you?

Yeah.

Maybe I do, too.

It's so strange, isn't it?

We've both played the opposites

of the same part, but...

never really spoken

before today.

Strangers for a... a lifetime.

Until now.

I suppose I should

properly introduce myself.

-I'm...

-Romeo.

Over here!

-Hurry. We're closed!

-Are you all right in there?

All clear in here!

Check across the square!

Come back after confession.

Sorry, Your Eminence.

-To the square! Go!

-Run! Quick, quick!

Ow.

Why have you come back

after all these years?

Do your parents tell you

all their plans for you?

Nor would I listen

if they tried.

You're cut... from the door.

I guess my blood's

now on your hands.

Saint Gabriel in heaven

defend us.

It's really not what it seems.

Uh...

Okay, maybe...

maybe it is what it seems.

If either of your fathers

found you here,

they'd burn the church

to the ground

and care not what God

thought of it.

She's the girl.

The one with the smile.

That was between us, Friar.

He told you about my smile?

You told him you like my smile?

We're getting you home.

-Oh, God, save us.

-And me?

God has far more words for you

than we can deal with now.

I need to find safer passage.

Well, I'll keep her here

until you do.

And we won't move

until you return. We swear.

His poison has gotten

to you already.

Hmm. Is poison what this is?

Now, you stay here.

I need to find the horses.

Sit.

A true gentleman on top of all.

Give me your hand.

Let me heal it for you.

And a surgeon, too.

That's very good.

Yes.

What?

Your eyes.

I've never seen a look

like that at me before.

Calm yourself. Getting a little

carried away, aren't you?

Carried to where?

From where?

Every thought before now

was just an idea.

Really?

Well, I can't tell

if your poetry is prose.

Poetry it is, then.

Are you kidding me?

The sunlight will reveal

this treason.

It was just a kiss, Friar.

A Montague and a Capulet?

It would set the world on fire.

When can I see you again,

Lady Capulet?

Call me Juliet.

We'll leave the names

that haunt us out of it, yeah?

Hold on. Ha!

Let's go.

I'm breathing in

Like I've never

breathed before

And now the air,

it fills me up inside

I couldn't see

But now I'm seeing

so much more

Something's there

Something I can't deny

Whatever it is

It's under my skin

I'll never be the same

They say the world

is spinning round

But you come along

and time slows down

I knew it the second

that I saw your face

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

Open the gate!

It's funny how

One day I've got it

figured out

But now I know

I don't know anything

I try to speak

But words are falling

out my mouth

Can't understand

What's happening to me

Whatever it is

It's under my skin

I'll never be the same

They say the world

is spinning round

But you come along

and time slows down

I knew it the minute

that you said your name

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

I have my feet

on solid ground

You stole it

from under me somehow

I knew it the minute

that you walked away

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

-Here I am

-Here I am

-Did I see

-Did I see

My future in your eyes?

-I feel like

-Could it be

That I've known you

For my whole life

'Cause they say the world

is spinning round

But you come along

and time slows down

I knew it the moment

that I saw your face

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

I had my feet

on solid ground

You stole it

from under me somehow

I knew it the second

that you

-Walked away

-Walked away

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

Yeah

Beat the same, yeah

Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Welcome back, Friar.

Did you not see

the look in her eyes?

She's changed.

Oh, not so very much.

In every way that matters.

It takes a mother to know.

Can we not let her enjoy

her return just for one moment

before we have to tear it all

away from her again?

At her own peril, husband.

And remember it was I

who said it.

Your strongest herbs,

good apothecary,

to calm my nerves.

It's been a night.

You seem rattled, dear Friar.

Well, not as rattled as them.

Yes.

Observe.

Ah, yes.

Ah.

That's witchcraft.

You're playing with life.

And death, which is the point

of medicine, isn't it?

To extend life over death?

You mean they're not

really dead?

It's a trick?

Well, I've slowed their hearts

to as close as if it were

with this one.

Yes, and then?

And then an antidote

to renew their heart when ready.

Could you imagine

what it would do

for those whose hearts

were failing them?

Oh, no, no.

That is a dark art,

to force nature's hand.

No, not forcing.

No, I'm-I'm holding.

I'm holding it.

Sit.

-I will...

-What?

...make you those herbs

to calm your nerve.

Come and pick your poison

A potion,

an ointment, a lotion

A spritz of an eau de parfum

My altar of devotion

needs only but a notion

Then my neurons,

they all go kaboom!

A pinch or a dash,

some of this, some of that

Shake it real good

and stir with a spoon

The stronger the herbs,

the calmer the nerves

Now let's see

what this old man can do

Listen.

You're in the right place

at the right time

I'm the right guy

with the right formula

The right chemistry,

the right recipe

The right remedy,

here, I'll pour for ya

One for the Crown

and one for the Church

And one for the heart

when the heart hurts

Use the heart of a goose,

viperarum

And nutmeg

that's expertly ground, yes

I should write this down

-It's dangerous magic

-It's science

The fact is it's taken me

years to perfect

Like water into wine?

I can do that anytime

I learned it

from a man in Tibet

You're playing with fire

Well, hear me out, Friar

There's a thin line

between life and death

-Hmm, perhaps.

-And I'm a maestro of math

-Yes, but... Yes, but...

-A captain of my craft

If you wanted

the best of the best

-Well, I guess.

-You're in the right place

-At the right time

-When?

-I'm the right guy

-Who?

-With the right formula

-What?

-The right chemistry

-Right, right

The right recipe,

the right remedy

Here, I'll pour for ya

One for below

And one for above

And one for the lovers

who've yet to find love

Ooh, some periwinkle flowers

Mixed with earthworms

and grapes

Don't make a sound

-Shh.

-Uh...

I should write this down

I need a plume

and an inkwell

To document details

A piece of papyrus,

I'm burning the brightest

My brain is in flames,

and I couldn't be more excited

Bursting out of my skin,

every thought from within

-So I should write this

-Down

Down, down, down,

down, down, down

-I should write this

-Down

Down, down, down, down

Listen, you're in

the right place

At the right time

I'm the right guy

with the right formula

The right chemistry,

the right recipe

The right remedy,

here, I'll pour for ya

One for the Crown

and one for the Church

And one for the heart

when the heart hurts

One for below

And one for above

And one for the lovers

who've yet to find love

And one for the future

and one for the Friar

And one for yours truly

who's drunk and who's tired

Prepare me my quill

and my parchment

Before I pass out

I should write this.

I should never have

let you go out.

I didn't realize it was

your permission that allowed it.

You didn't go alone, Rosaline.

How can I protect you

if you keep secrets from me?

And how can I reveal myself

to someone who doesn't even

trust himself?

Lord Capulet has to know

I'm by his side.

Rosaline.

Drafting a new sermon, Friar?

It is our written history.

Drafted by former friars

far greater than me.

Shall I take your confession?

You assume I've sins to confess?

You have the ear

of both Montague and Capulet.

Ah.

I have simply come

for more honest counsel.

Do you believe there can ever

be true peace?

-It's not a trick question.

-But it is a trick answer.

If the stars could be aligned,

if hearts could mend minds.

But y-yes, for the first time,

I think I may see a path.

Is that a riddle hidden in

your parchment there somewhere?

Maybe a riddle hidden

in plain sight all along.

But I beg you for more time

before telling you more.

I only hope there is

time to give, Friar.

Your Verona seems

so very fragile now.

Where are you off to?

To not waste any more time

with the likes of you.

As memory serves,

you were just wasting your time

enjoying my likes very much.

Well, don't expect me

to write sonnets about it.

"Oh, I've just met

the most obnoxious boy,

"and he keeps making

terrible jokes,

and he's a very good kisser."

Come on.

You are still a Montague,

adopted name or not.

And one day

you'll be lost to us.

Married off to a proper girl.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Yeah.

Nurse says you have news?

Were your manners lost

on your travels

along with your sense of time?

I had good dreams, Mother.

Thanks for asking.

Well, we're having

guests tonight.

A grand ball

to celebrate your return.

Guests?

Well, I don't think

I'm ready for guests quite yet.

You've had six years

to be ready.

-I just mean that I...

-I know what you mean.

I was you once.

Listen to me, you'll pick out

your finest dress,

and you will paint your face

with whatever mask

you need to hide behind.

But you will be the Capulet

you've been raised to be.

Darling.

Juliet.

All my life

I've tried to live

inside these lines

Never asking why

I sacrificed

Parts of myself

for this disguise

Was it all a lie?

And all of these questions

lead to questions

With no answers

I'm trying to find my truth

Every move that I make

Feels like dancing with fate

Is this all

I was meant to be?

Every night, every day

Feels like living in chains

No, this can't be my destiny

'Cause I'm more

than the mask I wear

At w*r with the mask I wear

Oh, this cross I bear

is the mask I wear

I'm more

than the role I play

At w*r every g*dd*mn day

Oh, it's always there

This crown I wear

-Different roads

-Different paths

Different time and place

Is it real?

Different feels,

all the same mistakes

-Will I find

-And will I find

Will I find myself?

Will I find

Will I find myself?

Different roads,

never knowing

Where the story goes

Isn't that better

than everything before?

-And will I find

-And will I find

Will I find myself?

-Will I find

-And will I find

Will I find myself?

-I'm more

-I'm more

I'm more

than the crown I wear

At w*r with the mask I wear

This cross I bear

-Is the name I wear

-Is the name I wear

I'm more

than the role I play

At w*r every g*dd*mn day

Oh, it's always there

This mask I wear

All my life

I've tried to live

inside these lines.

You know,

it's always a wonder to me.

You have all these servants

at your command,

and yet here you are

doing the hard labor.

Ah, it's all

too easily forgotten,

the feeling of hard work

with your own hands.

Something you've never lost.

If only you could steer my son.

It's not an easy place

at your side for Romeo.

Nor was mine by my father's,

yet there I stood.

w*r's coming, Mercutio.

True blood will be spilled.

The important question is:

Who bleeds first?

Capulet plans

his big move tonight.

Tonight, sir?

The grand ball

and an announcement.

He'll trade his heart

for an army.

Paris.

Sir, how do you know this?

'Cause it's exactly what

I would do if I had the chance.

You'll go for me,

see if I'm right.

You want me

to go to the Capulets?

-Sir, I...

-It's a masquerade.

You'll go in a mask.

They'll be none the wiser.

If I'm right, we strike first.

All our fortunes rest

in you now, Mercutio.

It's you alone that I trust.

It's what you've always wanted,

isn't it?

Isn't it?

Be worthy of that trust.

Whoa. Good boy.

How'd you know I was out here?

Where else would you be going?

Your father spoke to me.

About her?

About you.

Your reaction just now

worries me even more.

Look, Romeo,

whatever plot you're planning,

-you need...

-I have no plot.

My father plays you, Mercutio.

Maybe.

But when my mother died

and he took me in

as one of his own,

not just by name but by virtue,

that speaks of the man.

With respect,

you never had to answer

the demands of your own father.

With respect,

my father's thoughts

were so consumed by drink

that he had no time for demands.

You never speak of him.

Since boys, we've known

each other's every word,

but your life before now

has been a grander secret

-than I've ever kept.

-Yes, but my secrets

don't send swordsmen

to our streets.

They don't put you, Romeo, into

the very heart

of our sworn enemy.

She's not our enemy.

Of course she is.

Father's right about one thing.

This battle is coming.

Not if I can bind

what's always divided us.

Blood?

Well, that's what's divided us.

Can you bind that?

And tonight they plot for more.

What? Haven't you heard?

Oh, there'll be a grand ball

to celebrate their alliance

with Lord Paris against us.

That's awfully friendly,

isn't it?

If that happens, Romeo,

they will outnumber you

three to one.

And your father needs

every Montague by his side,

including his true son.

And as much as you might cringe

at the hearing of it now,

you'll never disown

your own name.

What's in a name, Mercutio?

Everything.

Everything.

God, just take the...

Take the upper path.

There'll be less familiar faces

to recognize you there.

What?

You're my truest friend.

Whatever separate paths

we're forced to take now.

Oh, no, I'm your brother,

and I always will be,

different paths and parents

or not.

What's in a name, indeed?

All right, go.

Come on.

We never leave a lady waiting.

Romeo.

Montague.

It's a good name.

Yours isn't that bad, either.

Are you insane?

They'll-they'll k*ll you

if they find you.

Then lower your voice

and climb down to meet me.

I-I can't leave my party.

It's my party in my honor.

Well, then I'll have you back

in time to be honored. I...

I promise.

To go where?

More dreams of climbing walls

that divide us?

No, no more dreams.

I-I'm asking you, Juliet...

To what?

To turn our prose into poetry.

A Montague and a Capulet?

They're just names.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Stop it.

-I'm coming up.

-Oh, my gosh.

Why do they always call it

falling in love

When the last thing

you'd ever wanna do

Is fall?

So how come I find myself

stuck out here on the edge

Wondering,

what am I doing here

Just hanging on?

My heart's ready to fly

I know

Can't stop,

so I'm letting go

Gravity's pulling me,

I'm never meant

To be this high in the sky,

so turbulent

Don't look down

Everything that I thought

I'd never get

Up in the air

but without a safety net

-Off the ground

-Lady Juliet?

Where's she gone?

Just don't look down

Come on, we have to go around.

I never got this

fascination with the stars

Thinkin', what good's

a star down here?

Until you

You led me to

a constellation just for us

And I can't keep

my feet on the ground

No

Come on

What am I waiting for?

I ain't holding on no more

Don't look down

Everything that I thought

I'd never get

Up in the air

But without a safety net

Off the ground

I disappear in your arms

when I'm with you

You and me

but without a parachute

Hold me now

Hold

Just don't look down

Oh

I love kissing you.

Lady Capulet?

Gravity's pulling me,

I'm never meant

To be this high in the sky,

so turbulent

Don't look down

Everything that I thought

I'd never get

Up in the air

But without a safety net

Off the ground

Do you trust me now?

I disappear in your arms

when I'm with you

Just don't

Jump!

Look down

Why do they always call it

falling in love

When the last thing

you'd ever wanna do

Is fall?

Is it truly your intention

to bring w*r to my church?

Not w*r, Friar.

Oh.

You look to mend the world?

We look to bind our hearts.

The world can make of it

what it will.

Please, my friend,

will you help us?

And you'd both defy

your own family and fate?

Who's to say that this

isn't our fate?

Hear our wedding vows.

You'll find no defiance.

We can be the reflection

of what Verona still can become.

Yes, through the most

unexpected union of all.

Well, that will be a sight

for Rome to see.

Do you believe it can be?

I believe that history

is not carved in stone,

nor is our future already

written in these pages.

What I believe...

...is in the two of you.

Well?

Here I am

Here I am

And I see

And I see

My future in your eyes

-I know now

-I know now

That I've known you for my

Whole life

'Cause they say the world

is spinning round

But you came along

and time slowed down

I knew it the minute

that I saw your face

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same.

Maybe we should just escape...

...to unpathed waters.

And undreamed shores.

You know that first night

in the church?

Hmm.

We never actually confessed.

Well, we didn't actually sin,

if you remember.

Oh, is that how you remember it?

Come on.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am.

Are you?

Yes.

Do you really have to go?

Yes, I have to go.

Remember, it's my party?

Well, save me a dance at least?

Mm, we'll see.

What if the Friar's

wrong about the prince?

Then we'll leave

these walls forever.

I do have another plan.

If it comes to that.

But let it not come to that.

It's you and me now, forever.

Your guests have arrived.

And your face is flushed.

Then I will keep my mask on,

and none will be the wiser.

I'm afraid, my lady.

Me, too.

Friar, can I help you?

Have I caught you at a bad time,

Your Highness?

My lady.

Feels like

I'm holding everything

Locked inside

Taking over me,

but I feel alive

And I'll keep fighting

For these lies

Secrets k*lling me

It's like my heart's on fire

So dangerous, so dangerous

Perfect liars

So dangerous,

the thought of us

But it doesn't matter

'cause all that matters

Is following

the lights above

When every secret

we're trying to keep

Is dangerous,

the thought of us

Finally!

Now, Master Paris,

the Lady Juliet of Capulet.

My rose...

of Verona.

Juliet.

You are more beautiful than all

words spoken of you combined.

We are pleased

you could join us, Lord Paris.

Right. Yeah.

Well, it would've been

most curious

had I not attended

my own announcement.

What announcement is that?

It appears your parents

have left it to me

to share all the good news.

Twisted games

Tongue tied, never speak

You have

to keep eyes on all of them.

Wrapped in chains

So tight, pulling me

It's worth the pain

-To keep us safe

-Romeo.

What's in a name?

Secrets k*lling me

It's like my heart's on fire

So dangerous, so dangerous

Perfect liars

So dangerous,

the thought of us

But it doesn't matter

'cause all that matters

Is following

the lights above

When every secret

we're trying to keep

Is dangerous,

the thought of us

Your announcement

appears the more important

of the hour, Lord Paris.

Your Lord Paris,

as from this night on,

you will forever be my lady.

You really don't know.

Juliet, we're to be married

tomorrow.

It's been decided.

Not by me.

Juliet!

Juliet, sweetheart, please.

What do you think

you're doing, young lady?

You cannot just walk away

like that.

All of Verona waits,

and you dare turn

from he who tries to claim you?

I just met him.

What the heart wants

Shouldn't be a crime

Forever's only once

I'd risk it all

a thousand times

My dear Verona,

tomorrow when we join our hearts

at the sunset,

all our resources,

along with our unmatched forces,

shall become one

when the houses

of Paris and Capulet

are joined as one.

Game's up.

This communion

shall no man ever part.

Still my heart's on fire

So dangerous, so dangerous

Perfect liars

So dangerous,

the thought of us

But it doesn't matter

'cause all that matters

Is following

the lights above

When every secret we're trying

to keep is dangerous

The thought of us

It's like my heart's on fire

So dangerous, so dangerous

Perfect liars

So dangerous,

the thought of us

But it doesn't matter

-'Cause all that matters

-I'm here.

Is following

the lights above

When every secret

we're trying to keep

Is dangerous,

the thought of us

My heart's broken.

It was mine before his.

But come tomorrow...

We'll stop tomorrow

before it comes.

This isn't how our story ends,

I promise you that.

It's like my heart's on fire

So dangerous, so dangerous

Perfect liars

So dangerous,

the thought of us

But it doesn't matter

'cause all that matters

Is following

the lights above

When every secret

we're trying to keep

Is dangerous,

the thought of us.

-Montague.

-Who is that?

-Tybalt.

-Get out.

Tybalt, I'm sorry.

Get out. Get out.

-Are you all right?

-Yes.

Who is that man?

He was masked, my lord.

-Guards!

-Halt!

You!

Who are you?

-Stop that man!

-Out the way!

Hey, stop!

Stop that man!

-Stay here. Guard them.

-Yes, sir.

-Stop right there!

-You, stop!

-Come here!

-Romeo!

Come on, Tybalt.

You have no idea

what you're doing.

The prince of cats.

Lovely to see you.

No, no, no, no, no. Stop.

-Stop. Stop.

-This is all your fault!

-You shouldn't be here.

-Neither should he.

-And you are?

-I'm Montague!

Or have you

forgotten us already?

Stop right there!

Your Highness, as you were.

Hey, you, stop there!

I'll take care of this.

So... who are you?

Who are you?

Oh way, oh way, oh

Come here!

-Come here!

-Excuse me!

Coming through!

-Come on, let's go.

-Come on!

Stop! I said stop!

-Ride!

-Hyah!

Let's go!

Secure the doors!

Close the gate.

My horse.

Look, up there!

There, on the tower.

Is it Montague?

Come here.

She'll never be yours.

No!

Where is he?

There's no movement

in the water.

He's still down there.

Shut the gates!

Where is he?

-Where is he?

-Juliet.

Where is he? What did you do?

She's mine to defend now.

I'm my own to defend,

both of you.

-I'm so sorry, Juliet.

-What did you do, Tybalt?

-I'm sorry.

-What did you do?

Enough!

Your swords

will sheath themselves

or fall to mine.

A curfew across the city

and harsh punishment

to any who dare break it.

You two back inside. Let's go.

Move! Move!

Ticktock,

time is outracing me

Don't stop

Quicken my paces

and don't look back

No, don't look back

Footsteps follow behind me

And voices

screaming inside me

Just don't look back

No, don't look back

Running through the warnings

At any given moment

we might break down

Don't look now

'Cause the streets

are on fire tonight

Oh way, oh way, oh,

oh way, oh

Everything we thought

that we knew is burning bright

Oh way, oh way, oh way, oh.

Tommaso!

Tommaso.

What is that look in your eye?

The rumors and cries

are all confirming the same.

A spy fell from the top

of the Capulet tower

and was lost

to the water's rage.

And a Montague sword

found in their wake.

-And Romeo is not here.

-Don't do this.

He jumped because

he had no choice.

-We left him there.

-We couldn't have known!

We just left him!

Now, where's Tybalt?

He's on his way into Verona.

It is not the night to fight,

Mercutio!

Benvolio, what about this

don't you understand?

The fight's already here!

We can beat them

by sneaking across the river.

Think fast

Feeling the embers

in my back

Try to remember

they're closing in

They're closing in

Running through the warnings

At any given moment

we might break down

-Go, go, go, go, go!

-Don't look now

Our forces may not be

a match tonight.

But I've sent word to Rome

for all we'll ever need.

Without my command?

In the name of your command,

whether you rise to it or not.

We will take Verona,

Your Highness.

Everything we thought

that we knew

Is burning bright

Where is he?

Where's Mercutio?

They closed the bridge to town--

no one in or out.

Where is he going?

Everything

we thought that we knew

Is burning bright.

Keep the families apart!

-Back! Back!

-Get down from your horse.

Stop! Stop!

-Mercutio!

-Excuse me.

-No, no.

-Come on! Come on.

Keep an eye on him.

Move.

Come on!

Let me through!

It's Tybalt.

Tybalt.

Tybalt!

-No!

-Hyah! Hyah!

Oh way, oh...

You k*lled him!

Oh way, oh

Oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh...

Help! Please help me!

Come on!

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh

Let me through!

Tommaso!

Paris.

Oh way, oh way, oh

-Oh way, oh

-Paris!

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh

Enough!

No, it's not.

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

Mercutio!

Oh way, oh way, oh

Oh way, oh way, oh

It was your own

who invaded our walls tonight.

It was for love, Tybalt.

Not w*r.

-"For love."

-He never would've jumped

if it weren't for you.

You k*lled him. My brother.

You k*lled him, Tybalt.

You.

I warn you,

tonight is no exhibition.

And I wear no armor to play.

Well, then, let our revels

truly be forever ended.

Mercutio!

Tybalt, please, I beg you, stop!

Brother, stop.

Mercutio! Why?

My sword...

it was already set to strike.

And with your weak left hand.

Mercutio. Hey.

Mercutio.

My brother's a ghost.

No ghost.

But a shadow

for all I've caused.

Please forgive me.

It's not much of a wound.

It's not.

Oh, nor much of a lie.

Let me through.

You know you

shouldn't have come

between us, brother.

That was a poor play.

I only meant

to stop what I began.

I fear that you

probably have stopped

more of me than planned.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Wait.

A plague.

On both your houses.

Your...

houses.

Mercutio.

Tybalt.

You were right at the start.

I am fortune's fool.

Run, boy!

Run? I can no longer breathe.

Run!

I'm so, so sorry.

Please, take him.

Burned by love

Everything is turned to dust

There is nothing left of me

But a scar for every memory

Broke in half

I'll never have

a second chance

Deep inside the madness

No life within the blackness

Holding on to what's missing

Though my stars keep fading

There never will be

Get me out of Verona.

Someone to love again

Someone

who knows every secret

Someone who knows

every weakness

Someone whose kisses linger

On and on and on and on

I'd risk my life to steal it

For one more chance

to feel it

Two hearts like one

always beating

On and on and on and on

Someone to love again

Someone, someone, someone

Someone, someone, someone,

someone, someone

To love again, to love again

-To love, to love again

-Juliet!

-Someone, someone

-Back inside.

Someone

Someone to love again

To love again,

to love again, to love.

The prince spared

his life, Juliet...

...so long as he never returns

to this one.

Then it's

a death sentence still.

He k*lled Tybalt, Juliet.

Has he so blinded you

you can't even mourn

your own loss?

I do not defend him blindly.

Tybalt k*lled his brother first.

If all were reversed...

It would still not

right the world.

Then whatever will?

For you to right this house.

If not the world,

at least tend

to your family's wounds.

You would still have me

marry Lord Paris?

In a different life,

maybe love...

could be your only guide.

Just not in this one.

We're all out

of conversations

We've run out

of words to say it

Nothing's gonna change

the way this feels

Can't untie

these complications

I don't have the strength

to save this

'Cause even in the darkness

It's so clear

There's nothing left

to keep us standing here

Maybe I'm not meant for you

Maybe I'm not

meant for you

Maybe you're not

meant for me

So hard to hear the truth

Sometimes hearts

are meant to break

Instead of meant to be

Disconnected conversations

We burnt out

our constellations

Followed every star

Until the end

No act of random chance

Is gonna turn them on again

Maybe I'm not meant for you

Maybe you're not

meant for me

Sometimes hearts

are meant to break

Instead of meant to be

We were never meant to be

No

We're all out

of conversations.

Lightning, strike.

Lord, please tell me

what's right.

Do I follow my heart or no?

'Cause I can't make up my mind.

Looking for answers, Lord.

Come, give me a sign.

Talk to me. Now.

-Romeo's going to escape!

-Yeah, it's all right, boy!

-Easy!

-I delivered the message

to Mantua, and I shouldn't have

read it, but I did, Friar.

And I broke his trust.

Mercutio.

Will you take my confession?

I believe I just did.

Eh?

I call it hot chocolate, huh?

You don't ever knock.

I didn't know you had visitors.

Tiny, tiny little visitors.

It's okay.

You're smuggling them

out of Italy?

You think the Pope

is tough on the royals?

You should see what my people

have to go through.

What? You're Jewish?

L'chaim.

And that's how you're planning

to smuggle them to safety--

the families.

You've created a potion

to make them appear dead.

You can't just smuggle

Romeo and Juliet out.

Their families would never

stop looking for them.

Only if there was still someone

to be searching for.

Throughout history,

history has only been told

by the pen of the Church.

And I, my dear, dear apothecary,

am the Church.

Who would ever doubt

the word of God?

Pretty sure you doubt it

with every word you speak.

Then I pay you for my own sins

and absolve you

of all of your own.

The noble Friar breaks all

of his commandments tonight.

Now, they must take the antidote

before the moon starts to fall

to the new day,

or else they will never

awaken again.

Romeo.

A heavy message it must be

for you to ride all this way

-to find me.

-The Friar sent me, Romeo.

You come to serve

my death warrant?

No.

What death?

Your life was spared.

Listen, it won't take long for

the Capulets to track you here.

They must believe

you've abandoned her.

I'd rather die

than live without her.

You don't have to.

We have a plan.

What do you pray for...

...from a God who shows

no care to listen?

For an end, my lady.

With a prayer

that he is listening.

Even if we can't understand

his silence.

And you pray for another life?

Yes.

That's exactly what I pray for.

A potion to numb my pain?

An escape from your pain.

If it works, drink this potion,

and like a death you'll lie.

And while your Capulets mourn,

I'll send the good Benvolio

to bring your Romeo to wake you.

With this one.

And away you both steal

free and forever,

never to return

to reveal the truth

of your empty tombs.

And Romeo knows your plan?

He just waits for word

that you do.

But there is a chance

that this is a sleep

from which you may never wake.

Who brings me the antidote?

I will walk you through it.

Then go, dear friend,

and ensure that our Romeo knows

that tonight I drink to him.

I must speak to Benvolio.

-Friar? Friar.

-Where's Benvolio?

Please, Friar.

You can't be here, Friar.

Please.

Where's my son?

-Where have you hidden him?

-Actually,

it's not for me to say, my Lord.

We'll see about that.

My lord.

We are running out of time!

I don't want to lose

another day

Waiting for the world

to finally change

Time to rise above it all,

be brave

I won't fall

Never letting go

of what I have

Trusting that the fates

will bring you back

I won't run away,

I'll stay and stand

Stand so tall

I believe in now,

I believe in now this time

I can see it now,

I can feel it now inside

It's taken all of me

to be strong

I know a better tomorrow

will come along

Oh

This time

Oh

This time

I can see it now,

I can feel it now inside

I believe in now,

I believe in now this time

This time will be

the last time that we

Say goodbye

This time will be

the last time that we

Have to fight

This time

I believe in now,

I believe in now this time

I can see it now,

I can feel it now inside

It's taken all of me

to be strong

I know a better tomorrow

will come along

Oh

This time

Oh

This time

I can see it now,

I can feel it now inside

I believe in now,

I believe in now this time.

From now...

...till ever.

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

Lord Paris is here.

Fetch Juliet.

We're to church, my lady.

My lady.

Oh, heaven help us.

-What have you heard?

-Let us get you out of here.

What have you heard?

Get my cloak.

It's the worst news

of all, Friar.

What?

His dear Juliet is dead.

I must speak to Benvolio.

It's too late for that, Friar.

Benvolio is already off

to Mantua

to tell Romeo what's lost.

He can't.

I must speak to Benvolio first.

Romeo must know

that the message is mine,

or he'll believe we failed.

Failed what, Friar?

Tommaso, the antidote shattered.

The last of it.

Now there's no way

for either of them

to ever come back to us.

Romeo.

A friendlier face

there couldn't be.

So let us drink and lie

and pretend all's well.

What?

Tell me, cousin, what news?

It's okay. I know the truth.

She's gone, Romeo.

Taken poison to keep

from being forced

to ever break her vows to yours.

Our gentle Friar has cursed you

carrying the news to me,

Benvolio.

No, it-it wasn't Friar, Romeo.

When you spoke with the Friar

and he asked you

to call me back to get her...

I didn't come to call you back

but to beg you to go forever

and far from here.

Benvolio, but when you spoke

to Friar, what did he

say to you about the plan?

There's no plan!

Romeo, the Friar's lost.

Since the night you fled.

Our Friar is gone.

Your Juliet is gone.

Juliet never got the message.

All is lost.

They will come

for you next, Romeo.

-They won't have to.

-You cannot return to Verona.

Verona's where she rests!

Wherever else would I go?

Look to my father

when I'm gone, cousin.

Only his dark hand

could've ever dimmed the light

of our bright Friar.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Romeo!

Whoa. Benvolio, where is he?

He's already on his way

to the church.

Leopold, catch up!

He cannot drink the poison!

Hyah!

Hey! Hey!

Who goes there?

Who is it?

Oh, dear.

Romeo?

Romeo!

What if I

Let my heart decide?

Will the stars

escape the sky?

Will the stars

escape the sky?

What if I

Can't wake up my mind?

Will the sun

refuse to shine?

Will the sun refuse

to shine?

And I wonder

If we could ever just finish

All that we started

and stay here

Without broken hearts

Without broken hearts

in the end

And I wonder

If two worlds

could ever be one

When gravity tears

at our souls

And pulls us apart

Pulls us apart in the end

In the end

In the end

Oh, oh, oh, oh

We could be perfect

Perfect, just us in the end.

You stare and judge

and ask how it all came to this,

but if these are to be

my final words,

then let them at least

be the truth.

Here where I place ink

to parchment

to confess.

We all share the guilt

for the real causes of the

deaths of these young hearts,

who accidentally

and far too innocently

simply fell in love.

Not innocently.

You coerced them into it.

And filled his head with a world

he could never have.

It seems you've done

what no other could, Friar.

You've brought Capulet

and Montague together.

Then let that be my history.

Then it shall be so written.

And may God forgive you,

though I fear he'll not

forgive this much lost.

Nurse, you too have played

your part in this.

No. No.

-Yes.

-No, I didn't!

-Please! Wait, please, no!

-No!

Your cover for the good nurse

does not make her innocent.

It just carves

your own guilt with her.

I carved my own guilt

long before.

May their deaths be quick

and their bodies washed away

in the river's rush

to cleanse this place

of all that's happened here.

Let them finally lay,

at least in peace together.

And as for you,

my men wait outside

to reclaim your swords,

and then you shall return

to the castles you keep

to prepare them.

For what?

For our Roman soldiers,

arriving to claim Verona

for the Crown.

Your story

of Capulet and Montague,

this is where it finally

comes to an end.

-The Romans are here!

-Hey, you two.

-Yes, my lord?

-Take her to the stronghold.

Keep her safe.

Go.

Boys, our story will end.

They all do.

But not today.

With me.

It's the Romans!

-Leave them to me.

-Yes, sir.

Hold the line!

Yes. And you, too.

Good.

You are certain no one suspects?

No, all believe

what we've laid out.

And the apothecary?

Has his own work to do

far from here.

He will serve us well.

And him?

I believe he's on our side.

For Romeo of Montague

and Juliet of Capulet,

these are the pages

that will tell

how their story

ended here tonight,

for you to place

in the archives of history.

We just had to write it down.

And so from your hand,

may history forever read it so,

the tragedy of Juliet

and her Romeo.

May God protect you both.

-He's just letting us go?

-Come on.

What madness is this?

What's madness--

if you don't help me.

God, God.

Now, true apothecary,

to your work.

-We have a plan.

-An escape.

What I believe

is in the two of you.

Strangers for a lifetime.

Until now.

You can't just

smuggle Romeo and Juliet out.

Their families would never

stop looking for them.

Only if there was

still someone

to be searching for.

Have I caught you

at a bad time, Your Highness?

And that's how you're planning

to smuggle them to safety--

the families.

You've created a potion

to make them appear dead.

The antidote shattered.

The last of it.

Romeo knows your plan?

He just waits

for word that you do.

We'll stop tomorrow

before it comes.

This isn't how our story ends,

I promise you that.

And away you both steal

free and forever,

never to return.

These are the pages

that will tell

how their story

ended here tonight.

And so from your hand,

may history forever read it so,

the tragedy

of Juliet and her Romeo.

We just had to write it down.

I'll explain later.

Let's get the horses.

Where are we going?

Wait.

So, where to now?

Let them remember us well.

To unpathed waters?

And undreamed shores.

They say the world

is spinning round

But you come along

and time slows down

I knew it the second

that I saw your face

I knew that my heart

Would never beat the same

I had my feet

on solid ground

You stole it

from under me somehow

I knew it the second

that you walked away

Walked away

I knew that

my heart would never

Beat the same, yeah, oh

Beat the same, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's funny how

One day I've got it

figured out

But now I know

I don't know anything

-I try to speak

-I try to speak

But words

are falling out my mouth

-Can't understand

-Can't understand

What's happening to me

Whatever it is

It's under my skin

Oh

I'll never be the same

They say the world

is spinning round

But you come along

and time slows down

I knew it the minute

that you said your name

I knew that my heart

would never

Beat the same

I had my feet

on solid ground

You stole it

from under me somehow

I knew it the minute

that you walked away

I knew that my heart

would never beat the same

-Here I am

-Here I am

-Did I see

-Did I see

My future in your eyes?

-I feel like

-Could it be

That I've known you

For my whole life

'Cause they say

the world is spinning round

But you come along and time

Slows down

I knew it the moment

that I saw your face

I knew that

my heart would never

Beat the same

Oh, with feet

on solid ground

You stole it

from under me somehow

I knew it the second

that you walked away

Walked away

I knew that

my heart would never

Beat the same, yeah, oh

Beat the same, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh.

I see

your head in the clouds

And, baby,

I know how to bring it down

Hey, hey, I'm feeling it now

So lay back and let me

take off your crown

Let down your hair and

Blow out the lights

Don't you be scared,

tell me what you like

There's a whole lot

of wrong here

But we get it right

Yeah, we get it right,

yeah, we get it right

Just 'cause

I love you tonight

Don't mean

I'm-a love you tomorrow

I know we're closer tonight

than we've ever been before

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

I just need a little,

not too much

Can I get a minute

of your touch?

I don't want it all,

I just want enough

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love

Baby, when we're all alone

We do things

I can't do on my own

Don't know

where this will lead

But I know

That there's no guarantee

So come here, we can

Blow out the lights

Don't you be scared,

tell me what you like

There's a whole lot

of wrong here

But we get it right

Yeah, we get it right,

yeah, we get it right

Just 'cause

I love you tonight

Don't mean

I'm-a love you tomorrow

And I know

we're closer tonight

Than we've ever been before

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

I just need a little,

not too much

Can I get a minute

of your touch?

I don't want it all,

I just want enough

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love

-Hey!

-Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Whoa, whoa

Whoa

Just 'cause

I'm falling tonight

Don't mean

I'm falling in love.
