Welcome to day two of rehearsal. Now we'll start with act one,
scene five, better known as "The Kiss".
Romeo, Juliet, center stage. The rest of you, take five. Come on, Mr. Coconuts,
let's grab a seat next to- Huh? Go, Mr. Coconuts. [shrieking, thudding] [whistling] Oh, hey, Benny. Did you see last night's episode
of<i> The Real Mimes of Miami</i> ? Yeah. I really felt for Magda
when she was trying to order a pizza over the phone. Mime life, am I right? [stomach rumbling] [laughing] Here, your stomach might find
this appealing. [laughing] Thanks a bunch. [laughing]
Good one. And... action. Like, saints do not,
like, move, though grant for, like, prayer's sake. Then move not- Hang on. While my prayer's effect I fake. No, wait, that's a 'T',
take, not fake. No, no, no no no no,
this is all wrong; I'm just not feeling it. [laughing] Ruby, Spencer,
this is the hardest part of any director's job, but,
I've decided to go another way with my Romeo & Juliet.
Don't be discouraged if you keep working your craft- So, like,
I don't have to memorize, like, anymore of this. [sighing]
I sweated off the rest of my lines
in gym class. Fear not, thespians,
the show will go on. The perfect Romeo
and Juliet have been with us all along... Benny and Luan! [gasping] I've been watching you two,
and I know you are going to be wonderful. Now, Romeo and Juliet, let's pick up where we left off. - The kiss.
- The kiss? Uh, oh,
I just remembered I have a... an orthodontist
appointment today. Gotta get
the old braces tightened, otherwise, this will be
Romeo and Drooliet. [awkward laugh] Oh. [birds chirping] Hey, what happened
back there, doll? You and the hunk
make a great Romeo and Juliet. Isn't that
everything you wanted? Yeah, but... we have to... kiss. So? I've never kissed anyone before. I bet everyone else in my class
has, including Benny. What if I'm bad at it
and he thinks I'm lame? You're overthinking it, doll. You'll be fine.
It's just a smooch. There's nothing to it. Maybe you're right,
Mr. Coconuts. I know I'm right.
You can do this. Then move not,
while my prayer's effect I take. <i> I can't do this.</i> Time out! I need a pee break! I really hit the ol' oj hard
this morning. Sorry. Sorry.
I am ready to go. [gasping] Gadzooks! Which is also the name
of my one-woman show. Rehearsal's canceled
until I can get the janitor to fix this safety hazard. Aw, shucks. No rehearsal? So, uh, parting is
such sweet sorrow. Ouch! Watch it, toots. Once more
onto the breach, dear thespians, which is theater talk for, let's try
that kissing scene again. Come on Luan, it's just a kiss,
you've got this. <i> Ooh, oh no you don't.</i> Hey everybody,
can't wait to rehearse. Whoa! Heavens, my dear girl!
Are you okay?! Oh, it's nothing.
Probably just a slipped disk. No pun intended.
[laughing] Ow! I mean, ow, ow, ow! Rehearsal's cancelled for today! Phew. Okay, come on Luan,
no more stall tactics. You have to do this. Comrades, look to the skies.
It's Mrs. Bernardo! Where's my Romeo?
Where's my Juliet? Chop chop, it's kissing time. Oh. And... action! Then move not,
while my prayer's effect I take. Eee! [screaming] Wait! Uh, I have an idea. Um, um, instead of a kiss, why doesn't Juliet, just, uh,
send Romeo a text. A text? Yeah. I think a kissy emoji and a heart would really get
the message across. Luan,
what you are suggesting is... pure genius! A modern take on a classic,
bravo! Prop department,
I need cell phones for Romeo and Juliet, pronto!
