Monologue

I have had all sorts of problems lately. I lost my job. My dog ran away. The taxes are always there. My car broke down. I got a terrible rash that I'd perfer not to talk about right now. Oh, and my bathtub randomly exploded. EXPLODED. Don't ask. I don't even know. I mean seriously! I'm not trying to question the universe or anything, but that kind of stuff just plain doesn't happen! It definiatly ruined my day. And don't even get me started on the crap that's on daytime television nowadays.

Its like the entire world is against me. Like I'm just a fictional character for some twisted writer to vent his anger on to make himself feel better about his own life. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's the only thing I can compare it to.

You know what? I'm being selfish. I've just been telling you all about my problems. I never listen to what you have to say. How's life? (long pause)

Hey, wait just a second here. Something's wrong. (looks around) What the hell....? I'm not talking to anybody! I've been talking to myself this whole time!

Am I crazy? Now that I think about it, I don't even remember getting here. (thinks hard) I can't remember anything before me saying "I have had all sorts of problems lately."

I can't remember any of my life! It's like my life started with that sentence and there was nothing before it!

Ok, ok, ok, pal, don't panic. There's got to be some reasonable explanation, right? Let's see. Where am I? I'm in some sort of.....room. Alright, that's a start. My god, why do I feel so comfortable talking to myself? Wait. There's people. They're just sitting there.....watching me...

(*gasp*) They must be some kind  of alien race that abducted me and fed me a drug that made me forget my entire life and talk to myself like some kind of mental patient!

Hey! Aliens! Can you here me! I'm on to you! I know what your doing! You want me to freak out until I give up the name and location of the President so you can control his mind and have all of mankind at your command! Well guess what, alien scum! When you brainwashed me, you made me forget everything about the president too! Boy, did you guys screw up! Not so advanced now are ya? Are ya?!?! You guys got yourself into some deep crap this time! Emperor Farquexitonimolaguniasiumtron isn't going to be to happy about that is he?!

Wait. They don't LOOK like aliens. Hmm. Maybe I jumped the gun a little there. Maybe they'll respond if I ask them what's going on.

Hey! You! Yes, you! Where am I and how did I get here? Stop just staring at me like that! Answer my question! Why are you just watching? Do you want me to do a trick or something? Your staring at me like you're a patron an audience!

(long pause)Wait. These people...this room...those lights....that hairstyle.... I know what this is! I know where I am! This IS an audience! My greatest fear has finally come true... I'M TRAPPED IN A MONOLOGUE!!(goes to his knees, throws hands into the air)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(silence, then finally) If this is a monologue, and I have no doubt in my mind that it is, that means that it's only a matter of time! Once the actor says "scene," it's all over for me! I may only have seconds to live. Okay, calm down. I just have to convince him not to say it! Yeah! I'm sure I'm being played by a decent guy. He'll understand.

Ahem. Uh, hey, Actor! Whatever you do do not say the word "scene!" I'm begging you! If you say that word, it's all over for me! Oh, jeez is he even listening to me? Hey, your a good guy, right? We're on the same team here! If you have any decency at all, you will not say that word! Please!

Oh, no. I feel myself fading away! That can only mean one thing! He's about to break character! The scene's almost over!

Come on, man, think about what you're doing! You can't just bring someone to life just to make them blink out of existance in a time span of a few minutes! What kind of example would you be setting for your peers?!

(gets on his knees and starts to grovel) Please, please, please, PLEASE!! Do not say----

this was a very good monologue . :) actually i have to present a monologue of my own next week in drama class. Any advices ? because it would be my first time doing a monologue :P
Submitted by Jalvarez42 on Fri, 01/21/2011 - 07:26
Just for reference, anybody can use this monologue without permission. I'm honored that you would want to use it.
Submitted by Jalvarez42 on Fri, 01/21/2011 - 07:32
and antonio when you present a monologue, remember not to just say the words. you must put yourself in your characters shoes. If your talking about a tree, see the tree. Think about what your character would do in his situation. Think about it. When was the last time you've seen someone talk and not add any emotion or physicality to what they are saying? Unless you were talking to a robot, probably never. And remember, it is more important to know your character than to memorize the monologue.

hey, I'd like to use this in my drama class, but as I'm from Finland I dont understand the ending of this text. What does it mean when the actor says "scene"?
Submitted by Jalvarez42 on Sun, 01/23/2011 - 03:55
Well I'm not sure how common it is, but here, when we are presenting a scene or monologue by itself, we often end it by saying "thank you" or "scene". I'm not sure why thats what is said, but it is generally accepted as a proper way to end a scene. Do you have a different way of ending your scenes? If you do, try filling it in with that instead. Or maybe, just forget the whole "scene" thing and just have the character worried that the scene is about to end. "Please, please, PLEASE, do not end the-" and then end the scene. Just a suggestion.

hey guys don't forget to tell me how your performances go! I did this for a showcase and the audience members started to talk to me when I began to address them. They weren't supposed to do that so I had to improvise.

I love this monologue! I am assuming it's okay if I use it for school, since you let everyone else use it. One question though, What does it mean when it says "that hairstyle"? Does it mean the hairstyle of the character, or someone in the audience?

It is so out of the ordinary and I love it! I'm using this in a competition next week, I'll be sure to give you full credit for writing it. Keep up the good work! You are so talented!

Thanks for letting me use it and writing it you are very talented and if it weren't for you I would be stuck with my previous humorous speech that was very hard to do because the characters went back and forth and i got 50th to last the judges even told me for future reference to pick a different script THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

How would you pronounce the emperors name or just substitute? Also the sentence "I'm sure I'm being played by a decent guy" since I'm a female performing this monologue I should replace with "decent gal ". Would appreciate your input. Thanks
Submitted by Inthesouth (not verified) on Tue, 05/14/2013 - 02:20
I really like this script but I've noticed one thing which MAY HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING OF PERFORMING THIS. As the main character's worst fear is being trapped in a monologue, it is fair to say that the characters would dislike public speaking/acting. Therefore a fault I have noticed is instead of the character becoming more loud and confident, he should have became more nervous, quieter even, as the end of the monologue neared. But overall really like it and will definitely use this for my upcoming performance.

Awesome piece! My son, who is in 4th grade, would like to use it for his school wide speech competition. It definitely is a winner. We may change a couple things in the beginning like... "I lost my homework, my dog ran away, and our car broke down..." Can't wait for him to get started. So glad I stumbled upon this amazing piece! Do you have any other monologues or plays?

I found this monologue months ago and loved it so I saved it to my phone and have been trying to find an excuse to really knuckle down and learn it. In my drama group they are doing an end of year concert and I am not in a play and the teacher said I can do any monologue of my choosing and I immediately thought of this one. Thanks so much for writing it, I love it and it completely breaks the fourth wall and I love monologues/plays/films that do that sometimes, it is a whole different level of funny :) Thanks heaps!
