Still, Romeo honors Paris's request and places him in the tomb, then he heads over to Juliet's corpse. He vaguely remembers Balthasar saying that Paris was supposed to marry Juliet or something like that, but admits he wasn't really paying attention. Romeo feels pretty guilty for killing yet another one of Juliet's male associates, especially since Paris was one of Mercutio's relatives. You can guess what happens next: they fight, and Romeo kills Paris. Paris tries to do a citizen's arrest on Romeo, who is, after all, an outlaw. To be fair, Romeo looks pretty suspicious-he's carrying a bunch of tomb-breaking-in tools. Paris sees Romeo and assumes he's there to somehow dishonor the Capulets. Balthasar says okay, but instead of leaving he hides behind some bushes.
If Balthasar tries to follow him, Romeo will tear him limb from limb. He claims he needs to break into Juliet's tomb both to see Juliet's beautiful face one last time and to get a ring from her finger that he needs, um.for something important.
Romeo tells Balthasar not to interrupt him or come after him.When Romeo arrives on the scene, he gets a hammer and a crowbar from Balthasar and hands Balthasar a letter for his dad, Lord Montague (aha! that's what he needed the paper and ink for).He gets an alert from him page that someone is approaching and steps aside to see who it is. When Romeo approaches, Paris is already there, sadly tossing flowers. The Capulet tomb seems to be a popular locale.
