Crazy monolog
Setup:
Character: TimJim Lan
TimJim is essentially a stereotypical psychiatric patient. He has two identities, one of them being rather psychotic the other one being intelligent, well mannered and cultured.
Jim is the dominant personality with Tim happy to go along with his plans and ideas to the extent of his capability. This character is entirely fictional and there is probably no psychiatric medical condition that represents like this.
*Note: Dr. Jack Gallagher is a fictional character in a Television show, mental. He makes an appearance here because I like the show and I needed a shrink.
Setting: The imagined setting is a room at a psychiatric wing of a hospital or Care facility. For the purposes of my monolog I will use a swivel chair. When TimJim Switches personalities, I?ll slide from one side of the stage to another with somebody to catch me at each side so I don?t overshoot the stage.
Props: The only Prop will be a plain blanket that covers Tim, but then is taken off to reveal a sports jacket whenever Jim makes an appearance.
Notes: /\/\/\/\ means that the current dialogue is interrupted; this happens a lot to Tim, poor guy.
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
The above signifies the change from Tim to Jim.

I?m sitting down. A novel experience and whatnot. Whatnot? What knot? Which Knot? That knot. That not what, That not right. No no no, that isn?t proper grammar, and if you don?t have proper grammar Mr. W will catch you. Spandex? No, sitting. Hmmmm? Why am I sitting, oh yeehaaaaa, the new shrinky. Dr. Gallhagery. Wonder what he?ll be like eh? Shrinks are all the same really, they saysies ?you are sick? and I says, I happen to knowith that. And then they give me some meddies I go Woooohily for a bit and they start getting scared. Actually the meddies they gave me to calm me down for this meeting are wearing a little thin. Oh hey Jim.
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Hello my dear Tim. How are you doing on this fine morning? Well I hope?
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~

Yes Yes that?s all well and good; I hear your meeting a new Psychiatric Specialist today. A certain Dr. Jack Gallagher. I think he could be a positive force in your new life that you are intent on starting. You are intent on starting this new life, correct?
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Core. Apple. Tree. Treehouse. Germany. Hotel. Mon\/\/\/\/\/\
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Yes Yes I know, you want to go to a treehouse hotel in germany and buy thousands of apples but you have a pitiful lack of funds. Really, we must get you in to a more presentable state before Dr. Gallagher Arrives. Let us go through the basic exercises. Now, what?s your name please?
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Tim Lan, pan, Sand. The Timster, the Timifier, the Timificatio\/\//\/\
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
I know. But just your name please. You really are raving mad. Now, do you remember where you, oh. Wait just a second. I think somebody?s coming. Hmm, it seems this Dr. Gallagher?s early. Bye for now, I shall see you later Tim. Just concentrate on something clandestine while Dr. Gallagher is here.
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Hmm?clandestiii?..normal. Charades, those are normal. Though sometimes Mr. W cheats a little, and of course the guys always win, oh, Rambo!, Rambo! It?s gotta be Rambo. Ramboooooooo
*****At this point a disembodied voice will Say the lines in quotations*****
?Hi, Mr Lan, I?m just here to check on you, Dr. Gallagher will be here any minute. You ok.?
Of course!!!!
?Ok?
That?s why Bowser took peach.
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
Ok Tim, we just have a short time, I will proceed to outline the game plan for you. If he asks what, you hear, say Beethoven?s fifth symphony. Your childhood was peachy and your life is perfect. And all-important, if he asks how you feel answer with. ?I feel fine, but how do YOU feel?? Oh woops, he?s coming. EVASIVE manoeuvres.
~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~****~~~~
*****Again, a disembodied voice will play Gallagher*****
?Hello, I?m Jack, My report says here that you gave the name TimJim Lan. Is that right??
??..but How do YOU feel??

I like it, im going to use it for my drama class, where we have to perform monologues. the only suggestion i have is to play it off as if you were the real person. would tim move from one area to another or cover/uncover himself as he switched? as long as you use semi-different voices, the characters will be easily distinguished. :)
