Two households both alike in dignity,
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Act one: Scene one:
Garvos: That was a great battle, you should have seen 'um run!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gourry: You idiots! Stop it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Xellos: Alas, that love's view is still clouded,
In fair Zefilia where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge break new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the blood of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers takes their life;
Whose misadventured activities,
And with their death bury their parents' strife. ,
The fearful passage of their death marked love,
And the continence of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's demise, it could not remove,
Is now the 2 hours traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
[Zefilia. A public place. Enter Garvos and Jillas with guns and swords.]
Jillas: I hafta' admit, I was really great last time.
Garvos: Yeah those Mazuko are a bunch of spineless cowards, when they saw my mad
skill the put their tails between they're legs and ran!!
Jillias: Yeah all Mazuko are weaklings-men women and children!
Garvos: Yeah! I'm afraid I'm a cruel tyrant, if I conquered those Mazuko, when I had
ought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids and soil their virgin eyes!!
Jillas: The virgin eyes of the maids???
Garvos: their virgin eyes, or their virginity, which ever they prefer! HAHA!
Jillas: Well if you think you're that good-
Garvos: I happen to think that I'm a VERY good catch, thank you!
Jillas: whatever you say, but anyway, get your weapons ready, here come the Mazuko!
[
Enter Zelgadis and Dynast]
Garvos: Well lookie who we got hear Jillas, my sword is callen' their names! You go
fight them first and I'll back you.
Jillas: WHAT? You mean by running away!
Garvos: No! I just know that they are a force to be reckoned with that's all.
Jillas: then it's better to let them make the first move!
Garvos: I know! I'll frown as I pass by them, you know just to make um mad.
Jillas: I dare not do it but�I will bite my thumb at them! That will wanna make them
fight for sure!
[
Jillas bites his thumb at Dynast]
Dynast: Excuse me�did you just bite your thumb at us sir?
Jillas: I did bite my thumb, yes.
Dynast: did you just bite your thumb at us sir?
Jillas: No, I didn't bite my thumb at you, but I did bite my thumb!
Garvos: 'Ya wanna fight?
Dynast: Fight, no I don't want to fight.
Jillas: Oh! But if you do, I bet if you did I could take you!
Dynast: I highly doubt that!
Jillas: well sir�

your actions?
[
Enter Valgaav]
Valgaav: Why did you stop them? Turn around Gourry and face your death!
Gourry: I'm doing this to keep the peace. Either help me out or stay out of it!
Valgaav: Peace? Peace- I hate that word, as I hate the golden dragons, all Mazuko, and
you. Fight me coward!
[

Zellas: You are a villain Gaav Ryzuko! Hahahaha!
Phibrizzo: don't stir the soup Zellas!
[
enter princess Amelia]
Amelia: What are you menaces doing to break the peace this time?
You delinquents and enemies to justice!
Why won't you listen? What will it take to get you people to stop all of this animosity
and violence towards each other?
Even on pain of torture, you still won't stop.
It's been three civil brawls!
You have thrice disturbed peaceful Zefilia's streets,
And thrice times have made the people who founded this great city roll in their graves!!
The next time you all decide to obstruct the peace my justice will be swift and lethal!!!
[
All exits except for Gourry, Zellas, And Phibrizzo]
Zellas: who started all this Gourry, where were you when it happened?
Gourry: There were these two servants of your enemy, they were egging Zel on and I had
to break them up!
Then that fiery Valgaav came, he sure knew how to press my buttons, and then I found
myself fighting with him too! So we were fighting until the princess came who
broke up the fight.
Phibrizzo: Hey, where's Xellos? Have you seen him today? I'm so glad he wasn't a part
of this mess.
Gourry: Well Xellos is being kinda mopey for some reason...
Phibrizzo: Yes I've noticed this as well, he's been locking himself in his room lately and
has all of the shades down. And I could swear that I hear him crying every night.
I hope he snaps out of it soon, or who knows where he'll end up�
Gourry: Do you know why he's like this?
Zellas: No, I don't know and he won't tell me.
Gourry: have you talked to him?
Zellas: I've tried so hard to reach him but he's so secretive. I'd give anything to know
what's wrong.
[
Enter Xellos]
Gourry: Hey here he comes now! You'd better leave this to me.
Zellas: Well I wish I could talk to him like you do, but you are his close friend. Find out
what you can, lets go Phibrizzo.
[
Exit Zellas and Phibrizzo]
Gourry: Good morning! What's up buddy?
Xellos: Is it still morning?
Gourry: It's only 9 o'clock!
Xellos: Well I guess when you're sad hours lag on� Was that my mother who left in
such a big hurry?
Gourry: Yes it was. Why are you so down in the dumps Xell, c'mon you can tell me!
Xellos: not having the very thing that can make my hours move faster.
Gourry: You're in love?
Xellos: I'm out...
Gourry: You're out, of love?
Xellos: I'm out of favor with the one I love.
Gourry: Ah love, it's a like a rose, so much beauty and wonder, yet so many thorns along
the way�
Should blindly see pathways to his will.
Where do you want to eat today, oh my what happened here?
Please don't tell me you were involved!
It's all hate and no love I suppose�
O brawling love, o loving hate, Ha!
It's kinda funny in a way, why aren't you laughing?
Gourry: I'm not laughing because I'd rather weep.
Xellos: Oh dear, at what?
Gourry: Because you're a slave to love.
Xellos: Ah, but that is the curse of the Mazuko, and the way love operates!
My heart is so soar in my chest, if you really want to know.
All love is, is pain to a Mazuko.
Love is a smoke raised with the fumes of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
In other words love really hurts, well I must go farewell my coz.
Gourry: What? You're just going to leave me with that, tell me more!
Xellos: Sorry the lights are on but Xellos has left the building, he'll be back in a day or so!
Gourry: OH come on! Tell me who the lady is!
Xellos: should I tell you?
Gourry: YES! Yes you should tell me!
Xellos: Well' I'm in love with a woman�
Gourry: Well I figured THAT part out!
Xellos: And that was very astute for you! I'm shocked! Yes, and she is a fair beauty.
Gourry: They ALWAYS are�
Xellos: Looks like cupid's aim's a bit, off.
He managed to send me through a loop but he missed her completely.
She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met, yet she� wants to remain chaste.
Gourry: So she won't put out is that it?
(Ryoko: GOURRY!!!)
(WHAT? What did I do?)
(Ryoko: This is Romeo and Juliet, not Grease!)
(Gourry: Sorry)
Xellos: She has joined the convent, and cuts off her beauty from all of men's eyes.
She doesn't know she's killing me by doing all this. Love hurts�
Gourry: Well the best thing to do is to just forget about her.
Xellos: To forget about her is like forgetting to breathe.
Gourry: Well then start checking out other chicks!
That will get your mind of her, works every time!
Xellos: Ah, but to call hers, exquisite, in question more.
Whenever I think of her it's like my heart stops beating, and I don't think any other woman can stop my heart like she can. And you ask me to forget?
Gourry: I'd buy into THAT but then I'd be wasting my money!
