Prologue
Man 1
Oh! I don't get people these days,
fight, break and hurt each other in so many ways,
When did it all began,
When the meaning of love has been gone?
Man 2
Man 1
Romeo and Juliet,
I still remember them,
It's something you can never forget,
Maybe I should tell them.

(TAKING JULIET'S HAND)
Juliet
Good pilgrim,
you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers kiss.

Don't they have lips too?

Yes, those lips are lips that they use for prayer.

Saints don't move even though they grant wish

Oh my!
