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.

Juliet

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
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

Romeo
You’re leaving me already??
Juliet

Romeo
For starters, I’d be happy if we promised to each other forever. I’m talking, like, making it real. Like, married real.
