Egeus: Lysander has used ARTS AND ALLUREMENTS against my child!
Audience: Okay, how did he seduce her?
Egeus: He gave her poetry, sang outside her window, gifted her jewelry, sent her flowers, sent delicious snacks, and thereby STOLE her heart.
Audience:
(I borrowed "arts and allurements" from Lady Catherine in Pride & Prejudice, the actual quote is "hath bewitched the bosom of my child")

You know how it is. You're a girl. You give a speech detailing extensively your intimacy with your closest friend, also a girl. In this speech you say the words 'two seeming bodies but one heart'. You are incredibly straight.

Romeo: Julie, listen to me. I know you wanted a mansion, but this place is insanely huge for just the two of us. Paying off the loan is one thing, but we can't even keep up with the bills. We need to do something before we go into more debt.
Juliette: Well, I can't ask my family for any more financial support. We blew that when I married you.
Romeo: I know, I was thinking more like... we might have to get side jobs. My family is clearly not going to let us share the profits of the trattoria either.
Juliette: Wait, I just thought of something. Hermia and Puck graduate soon. They have no funds for a place of their own either. Maybe they could move in with us for a while and pay us rent.
Romeo: You wanna charge your sister to live with us?
Juliette: Well, I love her, but just because we're family doesn't mean I have to be an endless favour machine! I know you do it differently in your family, but the whole thing is because we need the money, so yes, I'm gonna have to.
Romeo: You know what? It could work.
Juliette: Great, I'll have a chat with her.
