Full transcript
- 0:18Long ago in Verona,
- 0:21there lived two families, the Montagues
- 0:24and the Capulets, who hated each other
- 0:27worse than death.
- 0:33>> Down with the Capulets!
- 0:35>> Down with the Montagues!
- 0:36>> I'll plague on both your houses!
- 0:41>> Turn thee, Benvolio. LOOK UPON THY
- 0:43DEATH.
- 0:44>> That's Tybalt, a Capulet.
- 0:46>> I do but keep the peace. Put up thy
- 0:48sword.
- 0:49>> And that's Benvolio, a Montague.
- 0:51That's old Capulet, the head of the
- 0:53house, and Lady Capulet with him.
- 0:55>> GIVE ME MY LONG SWORD! OH,
- 0:58>> A CRUTCH, A CRUTCH! Why call you for a
- 1:00sword?
- 1:01>> The head of the Montague's house with
- 1:03his lady.
- 1:04>> MY SWORD, I SAY! HOLD ME NOT.
- 1:08>> THOU SHALT not stir.
- 1:09>> Down with the Capulets!
- 1:11>> Down with the Montagues!
- 1:12>> Escalus,
- 1:14Prince of Verona, long wearied by the
- 1:16brawling of his people.
- 1:19>> Rebellious subjects,
- 1:21throw your mistempered weapons to the
- 1:24ground and hear the sentence.
- 1:27If ever you disturb our streets again,
- 1:29your lives shall pay the forfeit of the
- 1:32peace.
- 1:33For this time, all the rest depart away.
- 1:36You, Capulet, shall go along with me,
- 1:39and Montague, come you this afternoon to
- 1:42know our farther pleasure IN THIS CASE.
- 1:47>> O, WHERE IS ROMEO? Saw you him today?
- 1:50>> Madam, underneath the grove of sycamore
- 1:52did I see your son.
- 1:53>> Many a morning hath he there been seen,
- 1:56with tears augmenting the fresh
- 1:58morning's dew, adding to clouds more
- 2:01clouds with his deep sighs.
- 2:04>> My noble uncle, do you know the cause?
- 2:06>> I neither know it nor can learn of him.
- 2:09>> See where he comes.
- 2:11So please you step aside.
- 2:13I'll know his grievance
- 2:15or be much denied.
- 2:17>> Romeo, the son of Montague and lovesick
- 2:21for Rosaline.
- 2:22>> Good morrow, cousin.
- 2:24>> Is the day so young?
- 2:25>> But new struck nine.
- 2:27>> Ay me, sad hours seem long.
- 2:30>> What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?
- 2:34In love?
- 2:35>> Out.
- 2:35>> Of love?
- 2:36>> Out of her favor where I am in love.
- 2:38>> Forget to think of her.
- 2:40>> Oh, teach me how I should forget to
- 2:42think.
- 2:43>> By giving liberty unto thine eyes.
- 2:45Examine other beauties.
- 2:47>> Thou canst not teach me to forget. I
- 2:49pray, sir, can you read?
- 2:51>> Ay, if I know the letters and the
- 2:53language.
- 2:54>> Signior Martino and his fair young self,
- 2:55Signior Placentio, Mercutio, Tybalt.
- 2:58Rosaline.
- 3:00A fair assembly. Whither should they
- 3:02come?
- 3:03>> My master is the great rich Capulet.
- 3:07>> And if you be not of the house of
- 3:08Montagues,
- 3:10come and crush a cup of wine.
- 3:13>> Go thither and with unattainted eye
- 3:15compare her face with some that I shall
- 3:17show and I will make thee think thy swan
- 3:21a crow.
- 3:45>> Here are Romeo and Benvolio and
- 3:48Mercutio, a relative of the prince and
- 3:50Romeo's dearest friend.
- 3:52>> Romeo, we must have your dance.
- 3:54>> Not I, believe me. You have dancing
- 3:57shoes with nimble soles. I have a soul
- 3:59of lead.
- 4:01>> You're a lover, borrow Cupid's wings.
- 4:03>> Peace. Peace, Mercutio. Peace.
- 4:07>> That's Rosaline.
- 4:10And that's Juliet,
- 4:12Capulet's daughter.
- 4:18>> Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn
- 4:20bright.
- 4:22Did my heart love till now?
- 4:25Forswear it, sight.
- 4:27For I ne'er saw true beauty till this
- 4:30night.
- 4:31>> This, by his voice, should be a
- 4:33Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy.
- 4:35>> Why, how now, kinsman?
- 4:38Wherefore storm you so?
- 4:40>> Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe.
- 4:44>> Let him alone.
- 4:48>> If I profane with my unworthiest hand
- 4:51this holy shrine,
- 4:53the gentle sin is this.
- 4:55My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready
- 4:59stand to smooth that rough touch with a
- 5:02tender kiss.
- 5:03>> Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hands
- 5:06too much, which mannerly devotion shows
- 5:10in this.
- 5:11For saints have hands that pilgrims'
- 5:13hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy
- 5:17palmer's kiss.
- 5:19>> Have not saints lips and holy palmers,
- 5:22too?
- 5:25Oh, trespass sweetly urged. Give me my
- 5:30sin again.
- 5:41>> You kiss by the book.
- 5:43Here is Juliet's nurse.
- 5:48>> Madam,
- 5:49your mother craves a word with you.
- 5:53>> What is her mother?
- 5:54>> The lady of the house.
- 5:55>> Is she a Capulet?
- 5:58Oh, dear account.
- 6:00My life is my foe's debt.
- 6:03>> What's he that now is going out of door?
- 6:06>> His name is Romeo, and a Montague.
- 6:10>> My only love
- 6:12sprung from my only hate.
- 6:22Oh, Romeo,
- 6:24Romeo,
- 6:26wherefore art thou Romeo?
- 6:29Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
- 6:32Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
- 6:35Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
- 6:38What's in a name?
- 6:40That which we call a rose by any other
- 6:42word would smell as sweet.
- 6:44Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name
- 6:48take all myself.
- 6:50>> I take thee at thy word. Call me but
- 6:53love, and I'll be new baptized.
- 6:55Henceforth, I never will be Romeo.
- 6:58>> How camest thou hither?
- 7:00The orchard walls are high and hard to
- 7:02climb.
- 7:02>> With love's light wings.
- 7:04>> This place is death if any of my kinsmen
- 7:07find thee here.
- 7:08>> Thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
- 7:10>> If they do see thee, they will murder
- 7:12thee.
- 7:12>> Look thou but sweet, and I am proof
- 7:15against their enmity.
- 7:17>> Thou knowest the mask of night is on my
- 7:19face, else would a maiden blush bepaint
- 7:22my cheek for that which thou has heard
- 7:24me speak tonight.
- 7:26Fain would I dwell on form, fain fain
- 7:29deny what I have spoke, but farewell
- 7:31compliment.
- 7:33Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say
- 7:36I, and I will take thy word. Oh, gentle
- 7:40Romeo, if thou dost love, pronounce it
- 7:44faithfully.
- 7:45>> I swear.
- 7:47>> I hear some noise within.
- 7:49To love, adieu.
- 7:51>> O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
- 7:55>> What satisfaction canst thou have
- 7:57to-night?
- 7:58>> Madam!
- 8:00>> Anon, good nurse!
- 8:03Stay but a little. I will come again.
- 8:06>> I am afeard all this is but a dream.
- 8:10>> Three words, dear Romeo, and good night
- 8:12indeed.
- 8:13If that thy bent of love be honourable,
- 8:16thy purpose marriage, send me word
- 8:18to-morrow, by one that I'll procure to
- 8:20come to thee, where and what time thou
- 8:22wilt perform the rite;
- 8:25and all my fortunes at thy foot I'll
- 8:27lay.
- 8:28>> How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues
- 8:31by night!
- 8:32>> At what o'clock to-morrow shall I send
- 8:33to thee?
- 8:33>> By the hour of nine.
- 8:35>> Madam! I come, anon!
- 8:40>> Good night.
- 8:42Good night.
- 8:44Parting is such sweet sorrow that I
- 8:46shall say good night till it be morrow.
- 8:53>> Swiftly Romeo hastened to his confessor,
- 8:56Friar Laurence, and begged him make
- 8:58ready for a marriage.
- 9:00>> I'll tell thee ere thou ask it me again.
- 9:02I have been feasting with mine enemy,
- 9:04whereon a sudden one hath wounded me
- 9:06that's by me wounded.
- 9:08Both our remedies within thy help and
- 9:11holy physic lies.
- 9:12>> Be plain, good son, riddling confession
- 9:15finds but riddling shrift.
- 9:17>> Then plainly know my heart's dear love
- 9:19is set on the fair daughter of rich
- 9:21Capulet. As mine on hers, so hers is set
- 9:24on mine, and all combined, save what
- 9:27thou must combine by holy marriage.
- 9:31>> I'll thy assistant be.
- 9:33For this alliance may so happy prove to
- 9:35turn your household's rancor to pure
- 9:38love.
- 9:45>> ROMEO!
- 9:46>> ROMEO!
- 9:48>> WHERE THE DEVIL SHOULD THIS Romeo be,
- 9:51Tibalt? The kinsman of old Capulet hath
- 9:52sent a letter to his father's house.
- 9:55>> A challenge, on my life.
- 10:03>> ASSAIL!
- 10:05>> ASSAIL!
- 10:09>> OH, GENTLEMEN, CAN any of you tell me
- 10:11where I may find the young Romeo?
- 10:20>> Bid her devise
- 10:21some means to come to shrift this
- 10:23afternoon,
- 10:24and there she shall, at Friar Laurence's
- 10:26cell, be shrived and married.
- 10:29>> She shall be there.
- 10:39>> Oh, honey nurse, what news?
- 10:41>> Have you got leave to go to shrift
- 10:43today?
- 10:43>> I have.
- 10:44>> Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence's
- 10:45cell. There stays a husband to make you
- 10:48a wife. Go, I'll to dinner. Hie you to
- 10:51the cell.
- 10:53Hie to high fortune!
- 11:03>> So smile the heavens upon this holy act.
- 11:06Amen.
- 11:07>> Amen.
- 11:11>> Come, come, come with me, and we will
- 11:14make short work.
- 11:15For by your leaves, you shall not stay
- 11:17alone till holy church incorporate two
- 11:20in one.
- 11:27>> Peace be with you, sir. Here comes my
- 11:29man.
- 11:30>> Romeo,
- 11:32the love I bear thee can afford no
- 11:35better term THAN THIS.
- 11:37THOU ART A VILLAIN.
- 11:40>> TYBALT, the reason that I have to love
- 11:42thee doth much excuse the appertaining
- 11:44rage to such a greeting.
- 11:46>> Turn and draw.
- 11:47>> I do protest I never injured thee, but
- 11:50love thee better than thou canst devise.
- 11:53>> O calm, dishonorable, vile submission!
- 11:59Tybalt, here is rat-catcher. Will you
- 12:01walk?
- 12:02>> I am for you.
- 12:29>> Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this
- 12:31outrage! Hold, TYBALT! GOOD MERCUTIO!
- 12:38AWAY, TYBALT!
- 12:40>> ART THOU HURT?
- 12:41>> I am hurt.
- 12:43A plague o' both your houses!
- 12:46I was hurt under your arm.
- 12:51They have made worms' meat of me.
- 13:01>> Now, Tybalt, thou wretched boy,
- 13:12>> Romeo, away, be gone! The Prince will
- 13:15doom thee death.
- 13:16>> O, I am fortune's fool!
- 13:26>> What is the Prince's doom?
- 13:28>> A gentler judgement vanished from his
- 13:30lips.
- 13:31Not body's death,
- 13:34but body's banishment.
- 13:37>> Be merciful.
- 13:39Say death
- 13:41for exile hath more terror in his look.
- 13:44Hence banished is banished from the
- 13:45world, and world's exile is death.
- 13:48>> Hence from Verona art thou banished. Be
- 13:51patient, for the world is broad and
- 13:54wide.
- 13:54>> Tis torture and not mercy.
- 13:58Heaven is here where Juliet lives.
- 14:02And every cat and dog and little mouse,
- 14:04every unworthy thing live here in heaven
- 14:07and may look on her.
- 14:09But Romeo may not.
- 14:11>> Who's there?
- 14:13>> Nurse.
- 14:14>> Ah, sir.
- 14:16Ah, sir, death's the end of all.
- 14:19>> Speaks thou of Juliet?
- 14:20How is it with her?
- 14:22Doth not she think me an old murderer
- 14:24now I have stained the childhood of our
- 14:26joy with blood removed but little from
- 14:29her own?
- 14:30>> Oh, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and
- 14:33weeps and Tybalt calls and then on Romeo
- 14:36cries.
- 14:37>> Go, get thee to thy love as was decreed.
- 14:40Ascend her chamber hence and comfort
- 14:43her.
- 14:43>> Ah, you, make haste for it grows very
- 14:46late.
- 14:46>> Go hence. Good night.
- 14:48And here stand all your state. Either be
- 14:51gone before the watch be set or by the
- 14:54break of day.
- 15:19>> Wilt thou be gone?
- 15:20It is not yet near day. It was the
- 15:23nightingale and not the lark.
- 15:25>> It was the lark, the herald of the morn.
- 15:28I must be gone and live,
- 15:30or stay and die.
- 15:31>> Yond light is not daylight, I know it,
- 15:34I.
- 15:35>> Come, death, and welcome. Juliet wills
- 15:38it so.
- 15:39It is not day.
- 15:41>> It is.
- 15:42It is.
- 15:44Hie hence, be gone, away.
- 15:46It is the lark that sings so out of
- 15:48tune. Madam,
- 15:51your lady mother is coming to your
- 15:52chamber. The day is broke, be wary, look
- 15:54about.
- 15:56Then, window, let day in and let life
- 15:59out.
- 16:00>> Farewell, farewell.
- 16:02One kiss, and I'll descend.
- 16:09>> Art thou gone so?
- 16:11Love, lord, ay, husband, friend.
- 16:16I must hear from thee every day in the
- 16:18hour.
- 16:18>> Farewell.
- 16:19I will omit no opportunity that may
- 16:22convey my greetings, love, to thee.
- 16:26>> Well, well, thou hast a careful father,
- 16:28child, has sorted out a sudden day of
- 16:31joy that thou expects not, nor I looked
- 16:34not for.
- 16:35>> What day is that?
- 16:36>> Early next Thursday morn, the gallant,
- 16:39young, and noble gentleman, the County
- 16:42Paris, at St. Peter's Church, shall
- 16:45happily make thee there a joyful bride.
- 16:48>> Now, by St. Peter's Church, he shall not
- 16:50make a joyful bride.
- 16:52>> Fettle your fine joints 'gainst Thursday
- 16:54next to go with Paris to St. Peter's
- 16:56Church, or I will drag thee on a hurdle
- 16:58thither.
- 16:59>> Good father, I beseech you.
- 17:01>> Hang, thee, young baggage, disobedient
- 17:04wretch. I'll tell thee what, get thee to
- 17:06church o' Thursday, or never after look
- 17:08me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do
- 17:12not answer me.
- 17:13>> The banished Romeo fled to Mantua.
- 17:24>> God joined my heart and Romeo's by our
- 17:27hands, and ere this hand by thee to
- 17:30Romeo sealed shall be the label to
- 17:32another deed, or my true heart with
- 17:34treacherous revolt turned to another,
- 17:37this shall slay them both.
- 17:39>> O Juliet, I already know thy grief.
- 17:43>> Give me some present counsel.
- 17:46Be not so long to speak. I long to die.
- 17:49>> I think like death I'll give thee.
- 17:53Hold then. Go home, be merry, give
- 17:56consent to marry Paris.
- 17:59Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone.
- 18:02Take thou this vial, being then in bed,
- 18:05and this distilled liquor drink thou
- 18:07off. When presently through all thy
- 18:09veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor.
- 18:13And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk
- 18:15death, thou shalt continue two and forty
- 18:18hours, and then awake as from a pleasant
- 18:20sleep.
- 18:22Now when the bridegroom in the morning
- 18:24comes to rouse thee from thy bed, there
- 18:26art thou dead. Then, as the manner of
- 18:29our country is, in thy best robes
- 18:32uncovered on the bier, thou shalt be
- 18:34borne to that same ancient vault where
- 18:36all the kindred of the Capulets lie. In
- 18:39the meantime,
- 18:40shall Romeo by my letter know our drift.
- 18:48>> Banished to Mantua, Romeo ached for word
- 18:51from Juliet.
- 18:53>> News from Verona.
- 18:55How fares my Juliet? For nothing can be
- 18:57ill if she be well.
- 18:59>> Then she is well, and nothing can be
- 19:02ill.
- 19:03Her body sleeps in Capel's monument.
- 19:06>> Is it even so?
- 19:09Then I defy you stars.
- 19:15I will hence tonight.
- 19:17>> In an apothecary's shop, Romeo bought
- 19:20the poison
- 19:21that would end his grief.
- 19:24>> Juliet,
- 19:26I will lie with thee tonight.
- 19:42>> Welcome from Mantua.
- 19:44What says Romeo?
- 19:46>> Going to find a barefoot brother out to
- 19:48associate me here in the city visiting
- 19:50the sick, and finding him,
- 19:53the searchers of the town, suspecting
- 19:55that we both were in a house where the
- 19:58infectious pestilence did reign,
- 20:00sealed up the doors
- 20:02and would not let us forth, so that my
- 20:04speed to Mantua there was stayed.
- 20:07Unhappy fortune.
- 20:10>> Now must I to the monument alone.
- 20:13Within these three hours will fair
- 20:15Juliet wake.
- 20:37>> Oh my love,
- 20:38my wife,
- 20:41death that hath sucked the honey of thy
- 20:43breath hath had no power yet upon thy
- 20:45beauty.
- 20:47Thou art not conquered.
- 20:51Eyes,
- 20:53look your last.
- 20:55Arms,
- 20:56take your last embrace.
- 20:59And lips,
- 21:00oh you the doors of breath,
- 21:03seal with a righteous kiss a dateless
- 21:06bargain to engrossing death.
- 21:11Here's to my love.
- 21:38>> Oh, comfortable friar,
- 21:40where is my lord?
- 21:43I do remember well where I should be,
- 21:45and there I am.
- 21:47Where is my Romeo?
- 21:49>> Come.
- 21:50Come away.
- 22:10>> Go,
- 22:11get thee hence, for I will not away.
- 22:14Oh, churl,
- 22:17drunk all and left no friendly drop to
- 22:19help me after?
- 22:22I will kiss thy lips.
- 22:24Haply some poison yet doth hang on them.
- 22:30Thy lips are warm.
- 22:34Yay, noise?
- 22:37Then I'll be brief.
- 22:39Oh, happy dagger,
- 22:41this is thy sheath.
- 22:48There
- 22:50rust,
- 22:52and let me die.
- 23:05>> Capulet, Montague,
- 23:08see what a scourge is laid upon your
- 23:11hate. That heaven finds means to kill
- 23:14your joys with love.
- 23:15>> Brother Montague,
- 23:18give me thy hand. But I can give thee
- 23:21more,
- 23:22for I will raise her statue in pure
- 23:25gold,
- 23:26that whiles Verona by that name is
- 23:28known, there shall no figure at such
- 23:31rate be set as that of true and faithful
- 23:35Juliet.
- 23:36>> As rich shall Romeo by his lady lie.
- 23:41Poor sacrifices
- 23:43of our enmity.
- 23:48>> Never was a story of more woe
- 23:51than this of Juliet
- 23:54and her Romeo.
