MB TIP: Raul has been dealing with his complaining neighbor for quite some time.  In this monologue, the drama has come to a head and Raul reacts by ranting and raving.  Keep in mind how long the annoying neighbor has been fueling Raul.

RAUL:

What am I gonna do? I’ll tell ya what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna play my drums harder, LOUDER, faster…until I make that son of a bitch complain again and then I could give him a kick in his ass!

(beat)

…Ahhh, most likely I won’t be kicking anybody in the ass but I’d like to. That old bastard gets me crazy. The drums aren’t that loud, okay? And we already agreed that I would play in the day between the hours of Noon and two o’clock. So why does this guy gotta come over here and bust my balls about playing my drums. Unless he’s senile. Maybe he’s a little off. I don’t know, whatever, I don’t care. Unless he wants to pay for my studio time, cause I ain’t got the money for that. Then I’ll go, then I’ll go to the studio. I tried putting up as much sound proofing I can. I know it’s ghetto but at least I made the effort. I put a bunch of egg cartons on my wall. I thumb tacked ‘em all. This way it would be less sound. And I tested it out. I had my mother hit my drums when I shouted outside, at the side of the house and I could barely hear the drums. It was like five times better.

And this guy wants to come over here and break my balls…
