Monologues

We will be discussing these monologues during the October 18th class, and I will have paper copies of them. You may choose a monologue from another show, but it must be from an actual stage play or musical. Remember that your monologue is to be memorized and rehearsed. :0)


From Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr


Carlotta
Imagine, washing up like that on the beach. Must’ve been a horrible shipwreck! I don’t suppose we’ll ever know the truth. Why, you can’t even speak, poor dear! Well, never mind - after your scrub in the tub, you’re fresh as a daisy in a beautiful new frock!


Triton
Benevolent Merfolk… welcome! It’s wonderful to see all of you here. Ever since the Sea Witch robbed us of our dear queen, celebrations like these have lifted my spirits. Thank you. (Lightening the mood) Well, what are we waiting for? Let the festivities begin!


Sebastian
Now, I should march you right back to your father - (Ariel shakes her head “no”)… All right, child. I’m in. But we got to get that boy to kiss you before it's too late! Now, a few pointers from a clever crab to a little mermaid. You gotta bat your eyes, like this… (he demonstrates, she copies) Then you gotta pucker your lips, like this… (he demonstrates, she copies) Oh, that’s good! You put those two things together tomorrow and you got that boy in the palm of your hand.


Ursula
I have a spell that will turn you into a human for three days. Before the Sun sets on the third day, you’ve got to get dear ol’ princey to KISS you. If you do, you’ll stay human forever. If you don’t, you’ll turn back into a mermaid and your soul will be mine forever! Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?


Ariel
(examining a telescope)  And now let me see… what did Scuttle call this one? Is it a ditty-whumper? A thumb-doodle? Whatever it is… Prince Eric held it in his own strong, beautiful human hands - (King Triton bursts in, ready to destroy the grotto.) No Daddy! They’re my treasures!


From Disney’s The Lion King Jr


Scar
Mufasa’s death is a terrible tragedy. But to lose Simba too..? For me, it is a deep, personal loss. So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet out of the ashes of this tragedy, we shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era - in which lion and hyena come together in a great and glorious future!


Mufasa
You see Simba, everything exists in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all creatures - from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope. We eat the antelope, but when we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. Everything is connected in the great circle of life.



From Seussical Jr


HORTON
I say! How confusing! I've never heard tell
Of a small speck of dust that is able to yell
So you know what I think?
Why I think that there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust
Some poor tiny person Who's shaking with fear
That he'll blow in the pool!
He has no way to steer!
He's alone in the universe…!
I'll just have to save him
Because after all
A person's a person, no matter how small.


MRS. MAYOR
But we've just had a talk with your teachers today
And they didn't have one single good thing to say
You invented new thinks which defy all description!
You gave Miss O'Dooley a nervous conniption!
We don't mean to scold you.
We love you, oh, yes, dear.
But couldn't you try thinking just a bit less, dear?



From YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN


CHARLIE BROWN
Some days I wake up early and watch the sun rise. And I think how beautiful it is. How my life lies before me. And I get very positive feeling about things . . . Like this morning for instance, the sky is so clear and the sun is so bright. . . How can anything go wrong on a day like this? (alarm clock rings) I'm late!!

CHARLIE BROWN
I think I'll just walk right up to that little red-haired girl and introduce myself. I think I'll introduce myself and then I think I'll ask her to come over here and sit next to me. I think I'll ask her to sit by me and then I think I'll tell her how much I've always admired her... I think I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon.

LUCY
Linus, do you know what I intend. I intend to be a queen. When I grow up I'm going to be the biggest queen there ever was. And I'll live in a big palace with a big front lawn and have lots of beautiful dresses to wear. And, when I go out in my coach all the people will wave, and I will SHOUT at them. And in the summer time, I will go to my summer palace and I will wear my crown in swimming and everything. And all the people will cheer and I will SHOUT at them.


SALLY
I couldn't decide if I wanted fudge marble, chocolate, rocky road, or vanilla. I finally decided on fudge marble. Then I had to choose between a plain cone or a sugar cone. I choose the sugar cone. SO what happened? I walk out and drop the whole thing on the sidewalk. Don't tell me my life isn't a Shakespearean tragedy.


SNOOPY
Why is it I always have my supper in the red dish and my drinking water in the yellow dish? One of these days I'm going to have my supper in the yellow dish and my drinking water in the red dish. Life's just TOO short not to live it up a little.
