Mercutio's Cheeky Commentary
Your mates Mercutio and Benvolio are still looking for Romeo, who's basically done a runner after the party. Mercutio's being his usual crude self, making sexual jokes and innuendos whilst trying to "conjure" Romeo back to them.
The lads are convinced Romeo's hiding somewhere feeling sorry for himself over Rosaline. Mercutio reckons love makes you blind and that Romeo's probably sitting under a fruit tree somewhere being melodramatic.
Key Point: This scene shows how Romeo's friends still think he's lovesick over Rosaline - they've got no clue about his new obsession with Juliet!
Eventually, Benvolio and Mercutio give up searching and head home, leaving Romeo alone in the Capulet orchard (definitely not where he should be as a Montague).
