Can you tell me quick what happens in Romeo and julit? Juliet?
Mark>

punk0>
im ready go ahead
Mark>
Okay: Romeo is a teenage guy in Florence and he's in love with Queen
Mab who doesn't know. Juliet is in love with Romeo who she knows from
school, but he doesn't know. Romeo's friend Mercutio picks a fight,
and some guys he thought were his friends stab him in the forum, which
is of course fatal. Romeo is really upset about this. Juliet asks some
witches what to do and they send her to a secret shop where a fryer
named Lawrence makes some poison capulets for her. Lawrence falls for
Juliet but she doesn't know.
Mark>
Are you getting this?
punk0>
okay
Mark>
Romeo talks to Juliet on her balcony which is very romantic because
she wants to make out but she can't reach him down in the garden. Also
she is disappointed that he's named Romeo Montague. Romeo falls for
Juliet but she doesn't know. He says she can call him back anytime.
punk0>
okay

So Juliet is going to give the poison capulets to Tybalt, who is Queen
Mab's favorite, to try to get her away from Romeo. But Juliet muffs
the switch and takes some poison ones herself. Romeo, who is still distraught
(out of his head) about Mercutio, kills Tybalt by stabbing his arras
in a sword fight. Meanwhile Lawrence revives Juliet and she's breathing
on her own. But by this time Romeo has taken all the capulets and he
kills Juliet, fryer Lawrence, everybody in Paris County and a Nurse,
who was in on it. Then he dies from the poison.
Mark>
got it?
punk0>
is that the end?
Mark>
Yes. It's a great tragedy because Romeo didn't know Juliet liked him
and the nurse was there to help him with antidote capulets which would
have saved his life. Besides, everybody is dead.
punk0>
alright thanks.
Mark>
hey No problem
