We gotta get to the zoo.” And your mom looks at me like “zoo?” And I walk with her back to D’s room and that little baller has bounced. And I say, “He’s not still sleeping is he? So I clear my schedule for the next day.Īnd when I come over here in the morning your mom answers the door and she calls for D, and he doesn’t come.

DONTRELL, WHO KISSED THE SEAĪ monologue from the play by Nathan Alan Davis Then when we’d finished, we got back in the cab and drove back to town. With all the other cows standing around in the dark, watching. And I was so relieved I had tears in my eyes.Īnd we hacked that cow to pieces, sawing, chopping, ripping. So you’ve got to cut it up there and then. See we’d gone all the way to Wales to rustle us a cow. And suddenly Dad slams his foot down and we ram this f***ing great cow clean over the top of the van.Īnd it tears off the bonnet and makes a great dent in the top, but it was dead all right.

MOJOĪ monologue from the play by Jez Butterworth I want you to pack your things, tie it up with your Saran Wrap and get out of here! We’re getting an annulment! Don’t you understand?

I’m asking you nicely, Felix… As a friend… Stay out of my way or let me get in one shot. When you want to come out, ring a bell and I’ll run into the bedroom. Live with your pots, your pans, your ladle, and your meat thermometer… My dearest and closest friend… And after three weeks of close, personal contact-I am about to have a nervous breakdown!…ĭo me a favor. All alone in eight rooms… I was dejected, despondent and disgusted… Because now I’m going to tell you off… For six months I lived alone in this apartment. Oh, that was the everloving lulu of all times. I got a typewritten list in my office of the “Ten Most Aggravating Things You Do That Drive Me Berserk”….īut last night was the topper. It took me three hours to figure out that F.U. I told you a hundred times, I can’t stand little notes on my pillow.
