A monologue from the play byEugene O’Neill Miss Gilpin (forties – fifties) She saw that you didn’t love her- any more than you did in the days before you left. Oh, I used to watch you then. I sensed what was going on between you. I would have stopped it then out of pity for her, if I could have, if I didn’t know that any interference would only mak...
A monologue from the screenplay/movie byDaniel Waters Heather You were nothing before you met me! You were playing Barbies with Betty Finn! You were a Brownie, you were a Bluebird, you were a Girl Scout Cookie! I got you into a Remington Party! What’s my thanks? It’s on the hallway carpet. I get paid in puke! (totally in control) Monday morning, yo...
A monologue from the play byAlice Gerstenberg Mrs. Payne-Dexter (sixties) Agnes, you have kept your health living on your estate in Long Island, but you have watched the inevitable drying up of flowers and leaves in autumn and you have followed what seems to you the inevitable progress of autumn into winter–well, my hair may be white as snow, but m...
A monologue from the play by Oscar Wilde Miss Prism Lady Bracknell, I admit with shame that I do not know. I only wish I did. The plain facts of the case are these. On the morning of the day you mention, a day that is for ever branded on my memory, I prepared as usual to take the baby out in its perambulator. I had also with me a somewhat old, but ...
A monologue from the play by Floyd Dell She (twenties – thirties) No—it happened to me. It didn’t happen to you. You made up your mind and walked in, with the air of a god on a holiday. It was I who fell—headlong, dizzy, blind. I didn’t want to love you. It was a force too strong for me. It swept me into your arms. I prayed against it. I had to giv...
A monologue from the play by Adam Szymkowicz Violet (thirties) My name’s not Violet. My name has never been Violet. I always introduce myself as Elizabeth. It’s my name. It’s always been my name. Meredith called me Shrinking Violet once during my freshman year and ever since then, everyone thinks my name is Violet. My name is not Violet. It’s been ...
A monologue from the play by Michael Brady Rachel This was my mother’s hat, kind of her lucky hat. The last time I saw her, I mean before the accident, she was wearing this hat. She always wore this hat. This was her bike. It’s a long story. We used to come out here, first thing when she got back from the summer. It was like our place to get reacqu...
A monologue from the play by William Shakespeare ACT 3, SCENE 5 PHEBE (twenties) I would not be thy executioner: I fly thee, for I would not injure thee. Thou tell’st me there is murder in mine eye: ‘Tis pretty, sure, and very probable, That eyes, that are the frail’st and softest things, Who shut their coward gates on atomies, Should be call’d tyr...
A monologue from the play by Anthony Minghella GEMMA When you stop speaking, it’s like stopping eating. The first day there’s something thrilling, and new, before the pain begins. The pain where you want to give up, where you can think of nothing else. Then the second day, you feel wretched, the third delirious, and then suddenly there’s no appetit...
A monologue from the screenplay/tv-show by Laurie Nunn Jean (thirties – forties) Sorry if I upset your friend. Sweetheart, I’ve been meaning to talk to you. You’re pretending to m*sturbate and I’m wondering why? The hand cream gave it away. And only pensioners would be into p*rn mags these days. It’s a little overkill. You know you can talk to me a...
