Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 3

Friar Laurence enters. He is gathering herbs and talking to himself about medicine and poison. Romeo arrives and the friar asks why Romeo is awake so early. He tells the friar all that has happened--that he is in love with Juliet and that he wants the friar to marry them. The friar makes fun of Romeo for his characteristic to fall in love so impulsively.
