Chapter 11: The Romance of Paris
written by Joie
added on: 28 Oct 2001 - based on characters created by Winnie Holzman
KATIMSKI looks around the classroom. He consults his sheet.
KATIMSKI: Jordan Catalano?
JORDAN puts his head up.
KATIMSKI: (cont'd) Jordan, you're Paris...
JORDAN: Uh... yeah?
KATIMSKI: Do you have your text with you?
JORDAN: Uh, no... I forgot--
KATIMSKI: Okay, well, you can borrow mine, since I know the play pretty well. (KATIMSKI puts his text on JORDAN's desk, JORDAN squints at the page) Act 4, Scene 1... let's go. Jordan.
JORDAN: (reads, with difficulty) Happily met, my lady and my wife...
(ANGELA tucks her hair, looks around, self-concious)
ANGELA: That may be, sir, when I may be a wife.

BRIAN: (bitter) That he's already acting like he owns her or something.

KATIMSKI: Yes. Well, that's true. Paris uses possessive language when referring to Juliet. But she says... (looks at ANGELA)
ANGELA: Oh, um... (reads) What must be shall be.
KATIMSKI: So, what does that suggest?
ANGELA: (blushes) Um... I'm not sure, but maybe, like: 'cause she knows, she's not gonna marry Paris, so it's like, well, think what you want, but it's not gonna happen that way.
KATIMSKI: Yes. Exactly.
BRIAN (VO): Exactly!
KATIMSKI: The bell is about to go... for homework, I'd like you to choose a character from the text, and write from his, or her, point of view.
BRIAN (VO): I know what I have to do...
