[DIANA] So he won't play that Montague kid to your Juliet? Well that's alright for you kid. Anne, don't forget Juliet and What's-his-face [ANNE, spoken] Romeo [DIANA] I know Started with a warm embrace... [ANNE, spoken] And? [DIANA] And ended bleeding out all over the place And they're dead, Anne They're both dead Thank goodness love is nothing like The stores that you've read Love is quiet, love is pure And if it's real it will endure So shake off those sonnets from your head 'Cause if your primary criterion Is love [?] Shakespearean The chances are, Anne, you'll wind up dead So Cleopatra and Mark Antony you two are not Well reenact [?] and consider the plot Their love is curtailed once Egypt is assailed And Cleopatra kills herself... after Antony's impaled And they're dead, Anne They're both dead, yeah Thank good ness love is nothing like That Shakespeare fellow said Love is not all blood and death It's not Othello or Macbeth If it were then no one would get wed Look, love was never meant to be Some Elizabethan tragedy If it were, we'd all be — Don't you think you've punished him enough, Anne? Don't you think he's paid for all his sins? Maybe this is where the past is buried And the future finally begins Now that Queens College is waiting Perhaps it's time to see What you and Gilbert could be At the very least, a friend After all, you'll need a friend there Once you're far from Avonlea and me So, Desdemona, Juliet, and Ophelia too They got wrong and before too long so could you He won't wait for you Forever He's far too charming and too clever Not too mention handsome, funny Intelligent, and smart A brilliant conversationalist And that's just for a start He's chivalrous and courteous And incredibly well-read Did I mention handsome? God, he's handsome That boy is handsome Oh, so for heaven's sake, Anne Give the boy a break, Anne Before you both are dead Ba da da da dead
