Romeo & Juliet, the New Orleans "Yat" version:
Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, where y'at, Romeo? Dis your daddy and dem and forget your name. If you can't do that, dawlin, I'll change mine.
Romeo: [Aside] Should I keep listening or speak up?
Juliet: It is your name that is the problem, dawlin, and mama's duchess de brabant roses would smell as good by any other.
