Romeo

Romeo and Juliet         Act I, Scene v, Line 112

 

Quick context: We’re near the beginning of the play, and this is the scene where Romeo and some friends have crashed a party at the Capulets. They’ve managed to do this because it’s a masked party. Romeo has met Juliet for the first time, they’ve had a brief encounter, shared a kiss, and, of course, fallen madly and irretrievably, in love. At this point Romeo’s friend Benvolio realizes that they’ve been recognized and comes up and tells Romeo they need to get out of there.

Away, be gone, the sport is at the best, he says. In other words, let’s get out of here, the jig is up.

And that’s what Romeo is responding to with Today’s Totally Random Line.
