• Juliet : Who is that gentleman going through the door?

  Nurse : His name is Romeo - and a Montague. The only son of your great enemy.

  Juliet : My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known too late!

• Juliet : What is it, mother?

  Lady Capulet : Juliet, you are a woman now.

  Nurse : Not a woman.

  Lady Capulet : Oh, she's nearly a woman.

  Nurse : Nearly, but, not yet.

• Nurse : Why was the man so rude? He liked to use his tongue as a flame to wound a poor old woman.

  Romeo : He's much enamored by the sound of his own voice.

  Nurse : And you stand by and suffer such a knave to use me at his pleasure?

  Romeo : If I knew any man to use you for his pleasure, my weapon would be quickly out, I swear.

  Nurse : Now, before God, I'm so vexed. Every part about me quivers.

• Nurse : There's one thing more.

  Romeo : What is it?

  Nurse : There is a nobleman in town, one, Paris, who plans to marry and lie with her.

  Romeo : Does she like him?

  Nurse : Never! Should just as soon lay with a stinking toad! Her thoughts are with you.

• Nurse : I'm so weary. Let me rest awhile. O, my bones ache! After the day I had!

  Juliet : I would exchange my bones for all your news. Please, speak, I pray you! Dear sweet Nurse, do tell!

  Nurse : What's the rush? A minutes patience, please! Can you not see I'm out of breath?

  Juliet : How are you out of breath, when you have breath to say to me that you are out of breath?

• Nurse : Well, I must say, you have good taste in men. That Romeo's face is as handsome as the dawn! His body, figure, leg, and foot excel as the finest! His manners - might improve. But, there is time.

• Nurse : You would speak well of him that killed your cousin?

  Juliet : Should I speak ill of him that is my husband?

• Nurse : Most woeful day! Never was so black as this.
