Romeo & Juliet
Juliet: Hi Mum and Dad, I’m home. How are you?
Mum: Hello Dear.
Dad: Hello Juliet.
Juliet: I have some good news for you. I have met a wonderful man and we are going to get
married.
Dad: What!
Mum: Who is he? Where is he from?
Juliet: He is a foreigner. He comes from France.
Dad: Oh my god.
Juliet: Take it easy, Dad. He is handsome, polite, honest, generous and romantic.
Mum: Juliet, you stupid girl. You never told us. You should talk about it with us first. How long
have you known him?
Juliet: We met 2 weeks ago.
Dad: This is crazy.
Mum: You must bring him home. We need to check him out.
Juliet: Wait, wait, wait. Relax.
Dad: Your mother is right. Does he have money, a car, a house?
Juliet: Oh Dad, that doesn’t matter. He is a good man. He loves me very much.
Dad: 20 years ago, if I had no money, no house and no car your mother wouldn’t have
married me.
Juliet: But you haven’t seen him yet. I really love him and we want to marry.
Mum: We don’t want you to marry him.
Juliet: I am not a child. I’m a grown up.
Mum: If you are a grown up then I will not give you any money.
Juliet: I don’t care. I don’t need your money.
