Sam and Mel continue to keep their upcoming nuptials secret, however it explodes and more in front of the entire Clayton family. Friar Laurence, Balthasar, and the servant explain what happened. The Prince scolds Lord Capulet and Lord Montague, who finally end their feud. Line 167: He repeats this warning and suggests that, if Romeo misses the deadline, he should wait until the watch goes off duty at daybreak.

Melanie and Sam are handed down the family wedding ring for use in their marriage, however disaster strikes when Sam loses it.

When Sam tries to clear his mind from the experience of accidentally walking in on Angela at the gynecologist's office, he writes down his private thoughts - which accidentally wind up in the wrong hands. Lines 305-306: the Prince says, "A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head." Line 34: Romeo says, "Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight", which also indicates that the trip must take less than a day. He probably plans to leave early in the evening and expects to arrive very late at night.

Line 148: It is not yet dark. Friar Laurence tells Romeo to go to Juliet now but to leave for Mantua before the night watchmen (police) go on duty ("stay not till the watch be set"). Line 20: Lord Capulet says that there will be a party tonight ("This night I hold an old accustomed feast"). As in Act I, scene v, several hours take place during this scene (night through dawn). Most productions will delete many of these events.

BEARS DON'T BOUNCE

Lines 200-203: Romeo says that "within this hour" a servant will deliver a rope ladder so that he can get into Juliet's room when night falls.

Line 17: Lord Capulet suggests that the wedding should be on Wednesday, but, in lines 19-21, he changes his mind: "Wednesday is too soon. O' Thursday let it be. O' Thursday, tell her, she shall be married to this noble Earl."

Delivery restrictions

Line 25: Friar Laurence says, "Within this three hours will fair Juliet wake." If Juliet took the drug late Tuesday night, and it lasts for forty-two hours, it must now be early Thursday evening. Line 1: Responding to what Paris has just told him, Friar Laurence says, "On Thursday, sir? The time is very short."
