Monologue Description: “TOUGH OR DANGEROUS” is about trying to make a point without getting into a physical fight.

Character Description: In this monologue, Mark talks to his stepson about the pros and cons of “being tough”. Mark has a rocky relationship with his stepson who in fact wants to fight Mark in their backyard after Mark asks his stepson to mow the lawn.

MARK:

What do you think, because I’m well groomed I can’t fight? Because I dress classy and behave well mannered, I have no balls? Because I don’t have any tattoos, or walk with a limp, or don’t dress like everybody else, that I’m not down?

Let me tell you about me. I’m a leader, not a follower. I play by my own rules, make my own choices, be who I choose to be. I set my own trends, do my own thing and BE ME.

Can I scrap? Sure. I have more war stories in my treasure chest of war stories that I am way too humble to admit. I’ve dealt with more crap that you wish you could come close to living, because in your eyes that makes you tough. That’s not what tough is pal. You wanna know what tough is? Tough is not having to act tough. Tough is being humble. Not bragging, not walking around with a chip on your shoulder, being a gentleman, handling your business without anyone else knowing about your business. That’s tough.

What do you do when you have a problem, eh? You call your boys, right? Am I right? Yeah, you call your boys…You know who I call…MYSELF. That makes me a dangerous man my friend…not a tough one.

So, if you want to step to me, then get steppin’ and let’s make a few discoveries about one another in the next few seconds. Let’s see what those tattoos and bad attitude are going to do for you against a punk like me.
