The final actor to arrive was Josh.

Josh: Hi. My name is Josh.
Casting Director: Hi. Nice to meet you. Did u get a copy of the lines?
Josh: Yes. I'd also like to do a monologue.
Casting Director: Good. u can start when you're ready.
Josh: Cool. *Goes to the back, and pulls up a chair*
Casting Director: What do u need that for?
Josh: You'll see. *Puts the chair in the middle of the stage, sits in it, and pretends to drive a car*

The Casting Director, and Roger started whispering to each other.

Casting Director: what is he doing?
Roger: it looks like he's pantomiming. play along with it for now. *Looks at Josh, no longer whispering* Romeo?
Josh: My sweet, hold on a second. *Pantomimes stopping the car, getting out, and grabbing a backpack while putting it on. Next, he pantomimes climbing the uithangbord up to where Juliet is*
Roger: What O' Clock tomorrow shall I send to thee?
Josh: door the uur of 9.
Casting Director: Okay, let's stop right here. Why does Romeo have a backpack?
Josh: Everyone has a backpack.
Casting Director: No he doesn't.
Josh: Where does he put his water bottle then?
Casting Director: He wouldn't have a water bottle in Victorian England...and, were u driving a car?
Josh: Yeah. Isn't this a modern version of Romeo & Juliet, like the one with Leonardo DiCaprio?
Casting Director: No. This is period appropriate. There are no cars, and no backpacks.
Josh: So, I should ride in on a horse.
Casting Director: Don't ride in on anything. You're pantomiming up a storm here, and it's scary.
Josh: So, u just want me to read the lines?
Casting Director: Yes.
Josh: Oh. Okay. Why didn't u just say so in the first place?
Casting Director: Start from the beginning.
Josh: Okay.
Roger: Romeo.
Josh: My sweet.
Roger: What O' Clock tomorrow shall I send to thee?
Josh: door the uur of... *Hits a button on his I-Pod that plays a song at high volume*

Song: link

Josh: Juliet!!! Get down!!!! *Turns around to do a vooruit, voorwaarts roll, pulling out a silver pistol. He fires seven blanks, then turns off the music* Damn! I missed them. *Goes back to Roger* Anyway, door the uur of 9.
Casting Director: What was that?!
Josh: Do u know what a gun is?
Casting Director: Yes I know what a gun is! Why did u pull one out like that?!
Josh: Because in the DiCaprio version, everyone had guns. Only, they were called swords. u should really look into that, and make sure all of your actors carry guns for the play.
Casting Director: Yeah, that "totally" sounds like a good idea for something taking place in the late 1500's. Thank u for stopping by.
Josh: You're welcome. *Leaves, feeling pleased with himself*
