Romeo and Juliet: Phone Bill Crossed Lovers

Synopsis

Advertisement for T-Mobile’s Unlimited Family Plan. Juliet is on the balcony with her mobile ‘phone. She asks "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" "Call or text". On the ‘phone screen comes the message "CU soon on the Balcony" Her father accuses her of betraying the family mobile plan. He says he never hated Romeo’s family but he was just too expensive to call. A cheaper ‘phone bill, the commercial implies, would have spared their lives.
