Read the excerpt from act iii, scene i of romeo and juliet.

benvolio: i pray thee, good mercutio, let’s retire:
the day is hot, the capulets abroad,
and, if we meet, we shall not ’scape a brawl;
for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.

mercutio: thou art like one of those fellows that when he enters the confines of a tavern claps me his sword upon the table and says, ‘god send me no need of thee! ’ and by the operation of the second cup draws him on the drawer, when, indeed, there is no need.

benvolio: am i like such a fellow?

mercutio: come, come, thou art as hot a jack in thy mood as any in italy; and as soon moved to be moody, and as soon moody to be moved.

benvolio’s observation that it is hot outside
mercutio’s comment that benvolio is moody
benvolio’s urgent request that they go home
mercutio’s story about the man in the tavern
