Clueless (Travis)

Clueless (Cher)

Category: Movie Role: Cher From: Clueless

CHER: My birthday”s in April. As someone who”s older can I give you some advice? I mean, I don”t want to sound all judgmental and all, but it”s one thing to spark up a doobie and get laced at parties, it”s quite another to be fried at school all day. The loadies generally hang in the stairwell over there. Sometimes they get to class and say bonehead things and we all laugh of course. But no respectable girl actually dates them. I don”t mean to be harsh, but you don”t want to start off on the wrong foot, do you? That”s Alana”s group over there. They all do the T.V. station and they think that”s the most important thing on earth… our school has its own channel throughout Beverly Hills… You like working on T.V. stations? Then forget them, they just hang by themselves… There”s the “Persian Mafia”, you can”t hang with them unless you own a B.M.W… And there”s the “Crew”. The choicest males at our school. If you make the decision to date a high school boy, those are the only acceptable ones. Hey, I”ve got a great idea! Let”s do a makeover!More Monologues from “Clueless”RelatedShareTweetPin

Category: Movie Role: Max Cady From: Cape Fear

I ain’t no white trash piece of shit. I’m better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I’m gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my good ol boys guts is gonna get me down? It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you’re better than me!

Captain Fantastic (Zaja)

Captain Fantastic (Ben)

Category: Movie Role: Ben From: Captain Fantastic

BEN: All this time you”ve been deceiving me. I allowed you to go to the library and you were sneaking around behind my back, taking the SATs, contacting and applying to universities. We”re not an accredited home-school, but secretly, you filled out these applications, you got your work approved, you managed to create acceptable transcripts. All without my knowledge or approval. I don”t know what”s more impressive. The fact that you got into all these schools. Or that for months, you were lying directly to my face! You speak four languages. High math! Theoretical physics! What are they going to teach you there?More Monologues from “Captain Fantastic”RelatedShareTweetPin

Captain Fantastic (Ben)

Category: Movie Role: Ben From: Captain Fantastic

BEN: I”ll take that as my cue, if I may. First off, Leslie practiced Buddhism. Which, to her, was a philosophy and not an organized religion. In fact, Leslie abhorred organized religion, thought it the single most dangerous fairy-tale ever invented, used to strike fear and obedience into the hearts of the innocent and uninformed. She saw it not just as a source of injustice, but as a crime against humanity. To her – the only thing worse than death would have been the knowledge that her rotting flesh was to be trapped for all eternity in a box in the middle of a f – golf course. (At this, there are audible GASPS from the congregation. Jack pushes his way out of the pew and whispers to some ushers in black suits.) Though the absurdity of being eulogized by someone who didn”t even know her has exactly the kind of comedic flourish that she would have cherished. (Ben looks at his kids. They nod at him, encouraging him to continue.) If nothing else. Leslie had a sense of humor. (He takes a piece of paper from his jacket.) I want to read you all something. So you know what I mean. I found this after her death. It”s Leslie”s Will. And I quote, “In the event of her death, Leslie Abigail Cash, as a Buddhist, wishes to be cremated. Her funeral, such as it is, shall be a celebration of the life-cycle, with music and dancing. After, it is her expressed desire that her ashes shall be taken to a nondescript location, preferably public and heavily populated so as to be utterly unremarkable. At which point her ashes, promptly and unceremoniously, are to be flushed down the nearest toilet.” End quote. Now THAT”s comedy.More Monologues from “Captain Fantastic”RelatedShareTweetPin

Captain Fantastic (Rellian)

Category: Movie Role: Rellian From: Captain Fantastic

RELLIAN: She wanted to be flushed down the toilet. Dad MADE her crazy. That”s why she killed herself. She wanted to leave. She didn”t want to live in the forest anymore. Dad is dangerous. Mom had psychotic episodes. She had hallucinations. Of smashing our heads in. With rocks. I heard them talking about it. You think you know everything. You think our lives are so great. You think Dad is perfect! Nana and Grandpa”s lives. They”re much better.Rell turns and races back toward the RV Camp.More Monologues from “Captain Fantastic”RelatedShareTweetPin

ZAJA: You will always be my mommy. And I will never forget you and I will remember you every second of every day of my life. And when you burn up, only calcium, potassium, magnesium and trace element compounds will remain. And as your ashes mix with water and decomposing plants, you will be carbonates and oxides. You will be liming agents, raising pH, and neutralize acid in the earth and you”ll make the soil happy. So things can grow. And I love you forever.More Monologues from “Captain Fantastic”RelatedShareTweetPin

Carefree (Tony Flagg)

Carefree (Tony Flagg)

Category: Movie Role: Tony Flagg From: Carefree

Perhaps she’s merely trying to escape reality. In this case, you! We all try to escape reality. We all wanna be something entirely different than we really are. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a fireman. Do you remember in college how stage struck I was? I wanted to be a dancer. Psychoanalysis showed me I was wrong. It’s the one way of finding out what we really want and why we want it.

Carnal Knowledge (Louise)

Carnal Knowledge (Louise)

Category: Movie Role: Louise From: Carnal Knowledge

I don’t mean the weak kind the way so many men are. I mean the kindness that comes from enormous strength, from an inner power so strong that every act, no matter what, is more proof of that power. That’s what all women resent. That’s why they try to cut ya down, because your knowledge of yourself and them is so right, so true, that it exposes the lies by which they, every scheming one of them, live by. It takes a true woman to understand that the purest form of love is to love a man who denies himself to her, a man who inspires worship, because he has no need for any woman, because he has himself. And who is better, more beautiful, more powerful, more perfect. You’re getting hard, more strong, more masculine, extraordinary, more… bust. It’s rising, it’s rising… more virile, domineering, more irresistible. It’s up … in the air.
