Monologue Description: “AVOIDING CONFLICT” is a drama about jealous friends.

Character Description: In this monologue, Ruth “goes off” complaining about how a mutual friend always seems to cause “drama”. Ruth complains to Melanie about the same old story regarding this matter.

RUTH:

She is such a liar! When I see her I am going to smack her like a rag doll. That bitch! I can’t believe she said that! How dare she? Oh, does she have it coming to her…hahaha…juuuuuuust wait! The nerve! She’s has some nerve! I would NEVER say that about you Mel…NEVER! Why would I go through all the trouble, buying you those concert tickets, if I didn’t want you to go? Does that make sense? We have both been a fan of that band for years. Why the hell would I NOT want you to come? If anything I would prefer HER not coming. That—ERR!

I NEVER SAID THAT! If that were true, I would just tell you to your face that I didn’t want you to come…or whatever. You know?

She is such a troublemaking bitch. You know what it is? She’s jealous. She’s just jealous because she wants you all to herself. You ever notice that? Whenever we go shopping, or go for instance to the beach, like we did this past Saturday, she always gets all poopy faced if she wasn’t invited. Waa Waaa Waaa. Like a baby! First of all, she always talks about how much she hates the beach and she complains that when we go shopping, we don’t go into the stores SHE wants to go into. Come on! Enough already!

I don’t have a problem and never did with the three of us hanging out. She’s the one who always has conflict and by not inviting her to certain things, AVOIDS CONFLICT.
