Monologue Description:  “Caught” is about a husband found cheating on his wife.

Character Description:  Roxanne talks to her best friend linda about what happened with her husband cheating on her.  This isn’t the first time Roxanne has spoken to linda about it.

ROXANNE:                    

My heart broke.  I was watching him for weeks but I wouldn’t let up.  I knew, I knew something wasn’t right.  Something was fishy.  I could smell it a mile away but he was good.  He was like a pro or something but finally I caught him.  I caught the bastard red handed.

One night I followed him to Brooklyn and I saw him go inside a brownstone house.  He was let in by a woman, a blond haired woman who I recognized.  She was the woman who worked at our favorite restaurant.  She was the hostess and we were always so friendly to her.  Obviously he was waaaaay more friendly than I was.

So, I sat on the steps for hours, went through a pack of cigarettes until finally the door swung open just as day began to break and my wonderful husband and I looked at one another.  I saw my husbands face shatter.  I just simply got up and calmly walked back to my car and drove home.

The final paper work for the divorce is this Thursday.

“Cheap?” (serio-comic) 1 minute

Monologue Description:  “Cheap?” is a serio-comedy about a guy who always gets ridiculed form his wife for pinching pennies.

Character Description:  Rich has had enough of his wife’s complaints.  Here, he discusses the subject of being cheap with his loyal best friend Alex and tells his the story in order to get his friend’s opinion.  Before Rich approaches his wife, he wants to be sure he is right about the situation.

RICH:   

She calls me cheap.  What the hell?  I’m not cheap, okay?  Nothing cheap about me.  You see my house, you see the car I drive and the clothes I wear.  What’s cheap about me?  She gave me this whole third degree about how I’m cheap when we shop.  I told her no, I am a smart shopper. 

Instead of buying a teddy bear for my niece that’s fifty bucks, why not buy her one that’s twenty.  She’s a little baby, she’s not going to know the difference and it saves me thirty dollars. 

Then we go food shopping.  Worst mistake of my life.  Everytime we go food shopping I always realize that I should not have gone.  All she does is splurge on food.  She buys so much food, by the time we get to the food it will already have gone bad because we can eat all of it in time.  I tell her, honey, please, slow down, let’s just buy enough for a week, two weeks.  But no, she calls me a cheap bastard instead and buy up enough food for three months!

I don’t complain when she goes out and buys her prada bags or gets her nails done, or buys a new pair of shoes and on and on.  I never say one word and in fact I encourage her to do it because I know it makes her happy. 

Just because I want to save a dollar here and there, she criticizes me.  Now, I know I am loaded.  I mean, I AM LOADED.  I have tons of millions in the back and invested in properties but I didn’t become this rich by throwing my money around like some irresponsible person.

Am I wrong here???

RANDOM MAN:  

You see this hat man…JANIS FUCKING JOPLIN gave me this hat man…that’s right.  I have worn this hat for YEARS man…haven’t taken it off once.  Even in the shower.  HAHAHA.  True.  She was one of the greats.  She gave me an independent mind man.  That’s why I roam the streets.  I don’t have to bow down to society’s standards.  I have my own set of standards.  I live freely, peacefully.

Some people might look at me and say, hey, that’s a bum.  Others might call me crazy.  Ah, I never gave in to that kind of thinking.  I really don’t care what people call me.  They live their lives and I live mine. 

We all have our journeys man…I have my journey and you have your journey.  What is your journey man?  Do you know it?  Some people live everyday and don’t know why?  Have no reason for existence.  It’s pretty funny.  I know why I’m living man…I have my own private mission.
