The Prologue walks out. He’s dressed different from the other actors. He wears a robe or toga or something.
PROLOGUE: In the town of Verona, there are two families that don’t like each other. Anyway, two lovers kill themselves and by doing so, they teach an important lesson to their parents. And…that’s what this play is about. If you pay attention, we think you’ll like it!
The Prologue leaves and two petty thugs, Sam and Greg enter. They’re blinged out.
SAM: I’m not gonna be a gofer!
GREG: No, because then you’d have to live underground.
SAM: Oh, snaaaaaap.
GREG: The only thing I hate more than living underground is that damn Montie Gang!
SAM: Damn straight. I’d totally mess ‘em up if we came across any of them.
GREG: Well, they ain’t ever seen a gun this big
Greg draws a large revolver and shows it off.
SAM: That’s what she said!
GREG: Oh, snaaaaaaap. Oh, snap. Seriously, here come some Monties.
SAM: Let’s flip ‘em off as we go by, see if they take it.
Abe and Caesar enter. They’re blinged out too, but in a different color. Like red, instead of black or something. As they pass, Sam flips them the bird.
ABE: Did you just flip me off?
SAM: I extended my middle finger.
ABE: Did you extend it at me?
GREG: Don’t do it, dude!
SAM: Uh, no. I am not flipping you off, but I am flipping it. Just, in general. For practice.
GREG: You wanna go?
ABE: No, I don’t wanna go.
SAM: ‘Cause if you do, I’ll all about it. I’m as good for it as you are.
ABE: Not better?
GREG: Dude, say better! Our gang leader is coming!
SAM: Yeah, better!
ABE: You lying mofo!
GREG: Bring it on!
They start to draw their guns and run behind cover. Oh yeah – there should be cover here. Some benches or bus stops or something. Ben enters.
BEN: Hey guys, what’s going on – Oh, snaaaaaap.
