"Spilled Milk"
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I've finally put up Joan's monologue from my original work Spilled Milk. Spilled Milk is a ten-minute play that has been available for purchase as part of the Heartland's Rejects Collection for more than a year, but today I finally got up the nerve to put Joan's monologue in the database.
JOAN:
I mean, what the fuck is wrong with you? A guy tries to assault you while you're passed out, and you think, "I know. I'll send him upstairs to my best friend." Why? Why didn't you kick him out of my fucking house? You could have screamed bloody murder and woken up my parents. You could have threatened to press charges. What he did was assault. What do you think would have happened if you hadn't woken up? He could have raped you. And you... you sent him back to me. How generous. How benevolent. Why didn't you fucking warn me? Why did you wait until the next morning to tell me what he did? Why didn't you tell me right then? God, Helen. I mean, think about it. You send this guy, this guy... who has just violated you... up to my attic. What do you think would have happened if I had said no?

I am rarely surprised by the "Aha" factor in monologues. The last line... perfect. I was surprised in an "Oh my god that strawberry was perfect why can't they all be that good" kind of way.
Bingo and Bravo
