JULIET: "Jesus Christie!Verona is as wacked out as BURBANK sans smog! Hello Fucker! Make Words!"
ROMEO (ever-patient/a Gold Digger/bides his time, thinking about waxing his new Surf-board) : and Juiliet, like Joy's grape, enraptured with divinity, etc. he serenely utters: "U wanna go out on a date?"
JUILIET: (bitch on the balcony having now concluded her buisness call) "Maybe ah will? An maybe ah won't?...Who do U know?"
ROMEO; "Jeeze Louise, Juliet, I got 35 friends on Facebook. Buggers call me night and day! THAT ought'a mean sumptink?"
JULIET: "Anyone I DON'T know, U pascht!?"
ROMEO: "DONALD TRUMP?"...
JULIET: "O Romeo, my Romeo! Where fore art thou, Dude?"
(Music, and fade.)
