• Benvolio - Nephew to Montgue and Friend to Romeo : Part fools!

  [Benvolio breaks up the fight and some soldiers stops fighting. Tybalt shows up] 

  Tybalt - Nephew to Lady Capulet : What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death!

  Benvolio - Nephew to Montgue and Friend to Romeo : I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword. Or manage it to part these men with me.

  [Tybalt walks right up to Benvolio while holding his sword and talks right at his face] 

  Tybalt - Nephew to Lady Capulet : What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee: Have at thee, coward!

• Benvolio - Nephew to Montgue and Friend to Romeo : What is Tybalt?

  Mercutio - Kinsman to the Prince and Friend to Romeo : More than Prince of Cats, I can tell you. Oh, he's the courageous captain of compliments. These fashion-mongers, these "pardon me's," Oh, their bones, their bones! He fights as you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and proportion. One, two, and the third in your bosom. The very butcher of a silk button, a duelist, a duelist, the immortal passado, the punto reverso, the hai!

• Benvolio - Nephew to Montgue and Friend to Romeo : Here comes Romeo!

  Mercutio - Kinsman to the Prince and Friend to Romeo : Without his roe, like a dried herring. O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified!
