Romeo and Juliet Quotes
Mercutio: Alas poor Romeo! He is already dead.
Benvolio: Why? Who and what is Tybalt that he should be so sure of it?
Mercutio: More than prince of cats, I can tell you now. He fights like a music-player, all precision and keeps his time and distance, perfectly played, with one and two and three and in your chest. He's a gentleman and a duelists and none can fight him and live to tell the tale.

Movie: Romeo and Juliet
Friar Laurence: His judgment has more pity than you dread. He seeks to have you banished and not dead.
Romeo: Not banishment. Be merciful, say 'death.' For exile hasn't more terror in his look, much more than death. Do not say 'banishment!'
Friar Laurence: All he asks is that you leave Verona. It's not so much. The world is broad and wide.
Romeo: There is no world beyond the city's walls - just purgatory, torture, hell itself! And exile is another word for death. The Prince's kindness is a golden axe that cuts my head off!
Friar Laurence: Rude, unthankful boy! The Prince, in gentleness, overturns the law! Well, this is sweet mercy and you seest it not?
Romeo: 'Tis torture - and not mercy! Heaven is here, where Juliet lives. And every cat and dog and little mouse, every unworthy thing, Living here in heaven and may look on her; but, Romeo may not!

Juliet: Must you be gone? It's not really the dawn. You heard the nightingale and not a lark, I promise. She sings each night sitting in yonder tree. Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
Romeo: It was the lark, the herald of the morn. No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east. Night's candles are burnt out and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
Juliet: I do not think the light is daylight yet.
Romeo: I am content, if you would have it so. I have more to stay, than will to go. Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. How am I with you and say it is not day.
Juliet: It is, it is! Go, now. Be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, of horrid discords and unpleasant sharps. O, hurry now! More light and light it grows.
Romeo: More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!
