I don't CARE if you don't want sideburns! EVERYBODY gets sideburns! JULIET has sideburns! And now, kids, we're all going to cheer Karl up! Can you say "Cheer up, Karl!"? Sarah is at wits end after Karl slinks off... ..and then I think the show should go to broadway, and then we'll get REALLY ambitious! After rendering Karl incapacitated in the worst possible manner, Maria hastily leaves the scene... I keep pushing on the end but the point just won't go away! Asleep? I wasn't asleep... And furthermore, blah, blah, blah... OK, when I count to 3, we both stuff socks in his mouth. Every time I have a plan, you have to start singing... Servants just can't handle ginseng tea... Back off, redfaced rogue, or I'll shove this dowl up your nose! It's the mark of Norro! And after you've stopped fighting, I want you all in bed by ten! Welcome to dowlsville! I see you've come well prepared for life here... Gimme a break... No, it's just a simple allergic reaction... Here, will you hold my imaginary friend for a minute? Oh lord, please send me some good help! Duh, you can't fool me cause I'm stupid... I TOLD you to grow a beard by the dress rehearsal! Grinding my teeth? Am I grinding my teeth? Hello, my name's Romeo and you're having an allergic reaction too! Please turn around and tickle me with your feather again! My name is Inigo Montoya... Oooooh, are your really Inigo Montoya? Are you? Huh? Really? Now what was it I was going to do? I vant to bite your neck... Romeo? No, I'm Oedipus... Durn skeeters got me again Romeo and Juliet, the Musical! You mean these aren't auditions for "The Phantom"? It's OK friar, I can fix you up with the nurse if you like. OK, you put your foot here and I'll boost you up to Juliet's balcony... And if you're a good girl, next time you can play Madam Butterfly... You got ten bucks to pay the friar? The same guys that painted my face could give you a real manicure! Hey, Tibbie baby, go easy on her, she's still on script! OK, OK, so your fingernails ARE clean. So what? Hey guys, can I have the next flamenco? Nyaa, nyaa, nyaa, bet you can't hit my hat! And THIS is for wearing white socks with black pants! It's OK, dear, we'll make sure that none of the family finds out that Tybalt was a girl... Benvolio was careful not to bend over and impale himself on his dowl... Hmmm, can I really kiss her even though it's just a dress rehearsal? Two hours of rehearsal and all I get is a lousy kiss on the cheek? Juliet grounded... You realize, sir, that this means we'll have to put up with her whining around the house for the next month? I so wanted to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now I'm stuck in Shakespeare... Watch this. I'll tell her she can go out tonight, then when she goes to her room to get ready, I'll lock her in! Hey you in the audience! Stop laughing! This is the sad part. What;'s the line, what's the line, what's the line... Oooh look, she shaved her armpits just like Mommy told her to! Look at her here on the floor! And that stupid friar promised me a big bier... Look, all I've got is 40 ducats. Don't make me kill myself with a plastic dagger... Damn! Childproof cap... A fatal thrust to the forearm. I'm sure dead people are not really this uncomfortable! Don't they get up and start wandering around eating human flesh or something? Oh my son! And I was about to give him my best pool cue! So yes, I caused all of this, but I'm so cute you couldn't possibly execute me, right? OK Cap, let's go shoot a game of nine-ball and call it even. Rule number seven: don't get out of your costume until AFTER curtain call. Now when Karl's done playing, we'll get started. What do you think about that Karl? Karl? Love to play with dowls! Dowls is my friends! Gratuitous Jana picture...
