Act 3, Scene 1

(Enter Romeo and Benvolio)

Benvolio: Yo, Romeo, why the long face? Did your girl break up with you or something?

Romeo: Nah man, it's just this whole pandemic thing. I'm bored out of my mind, and my parents won't let me leave the house.

Benvolio: Bro, same here. But you know what they say, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Romeo: Lemonade? How is that supposed to help me with anything?

Benvolio: I mean, take advantage of the situation. You can finally catch up on your Netflix shows or start a new hobby. Maybe even start a TikTok dance challenge.

Romeo: TikTok? I don't know about that, man.

Benvolio: Trust me, bro. It's the new wave. Speaking of which, have you heard from Juliet lately?

Romeo: Yeah, we FaceTime every day. It's the only thing keeping me sane.

Benvolio: She still the one, huh?

Romeo: Always and forever.

(Enter Mercutio)

Mercutio: Yo, what's up guys? What are you two talking about?

Benvolio: Just trying to keep Romeo from going stir-crazy.

Mercutio: Bro, we're in the middle of a pandemic. Everyone's going a little crazy.

Romeo: But at least we have each other, right?

Mercutio: Well, technically, we can't even hang out anymore. Social distancing and all that.

Benvolio: Yeah, but we can still talk on the phone and video chat.

Mercutio: True, true. Hey, did you guys hear about the new mask mandate?

Romeo: No, what's that?

Mercutio: Starting tomorrow, we have to wear masks everywhere we go. You know, to help stop the spread of the virus.

Benvolio: Great, just what we needed. More rules.

Romeo: As long as it keeps everyone safe, I'm down for it.

Mercutio: Yeah, me too. But I gotta run, guys. I need to go stock up on masks before they sell out.

Benvolio: Good idea. Stay safe out there.

Mercutio: You too, bros. Peace.

(Exit Mercutio)

Romeo: Man, this pandemic really sucks.

Benvolio: Tell me about it. But hey, at least we have each other and our sense of humor to get us through it.

Romeo: Yeah, you're right. I don't know what I'd do without you, Benvolio.

Benvolio: Same, bro. Same.

(Exit Romeo and Benvolio)
