WHAT: …depleted of my belongings…what has belonged to me and; given me anew.

(2 second pause)

But is this what I wanted or what I am?

(beat)

(rapidly) when he appeared to me was i born to do what i do i don’t know because his face that face his face his face when i sat in my chair all alone and was stoned and was relaxed and was watching when he suddenly appeared and was it an apparition or was it real and if it was real than what did it mean was it a sign for what i am or was it in my head.

(2 second pause)

In my head; what I saw…what my two eyes saw; this large face that shook me, that shook me back and my breath, my breath froze mid-way in my chest and my mouth, my mouth dropped low and I gasped, I gasped simultaneously as my nerve, my nerve held on firm.

(5 second pause)

Held on firm, only to, only to lead me to, lead me to where I am; here. What is here what is now?

(beat)

…depleted of my belongings…what has belonged to me and; given me anew.

Monologue Description: “Arouse Me” is a serio-comedy about finding a common ground as a couple.

Character Description: In this monologue, Bella is a nineteen year old college student who is dating an older business man.

BELLA:

That’s not what I want. We meet up late at night, at the end of our days…I’m tired, you’re tired and we are both not in the mood to do anything but be cranky at best. That’s not good. There’s nothing exciting about that. I know you travel alot but it’s not enough for me. Not seeing you for two, three weeks at a time is not right. I know, I know you told me all about this before we hooked up but still, saying it and partaking in it are two totally different things, Jed. I didn’t think it would be so strange. Everytime you come back from one of your business trips, I find myself having to warm up to you for the first couple of days.

(beat)

Maybe I’m not cut out for this kind of relationship.

(beat)

I want to be close to you. I want us to have days when we can go do whatever—like hitting up a movie, dinner, a walk in the park or a blockbuster night, I don’t care.

(beat)

I WANT ROMANCE! Everything is so business with you. You’re always on the phone, always bumping into people you know, who you happen to do business with…

I’m confused. I love the fact that you are older than me cause God knows I deal with guys my age and they are a bunch of immature assholes but I’m beginning to think that maybe you are too old for me. Not necessarily too old age wise but just too old adult wise.

I want someone who I can play with and go out and be stupid with and not always feel like I have to wear a dress and act all lady like. For once I’d like to burp in front of you or look like plain Jane. For once I’d like to put my hair up, not wear make up and throw on sneakers and a t-shirt with jeans and call it a day.

(beat)

You know, I just got into college, I–maybe I should—I don’t know what I’m saying. (she sighs) Can’t you NOT take life so seriously all the time? You know?! Just–I’ve never even seen you lose your cool or get drunk or, I mean—say a bad word, like fuck or shit or prick or even dickhead I’d accept. Everything about you is so dignified, like you’re some Prince of Dignity or something. Loosen up man, stop being such a tightwad and chill.

(beat)

Look, you need to really just smoke a joint and hang. Okay, I’m not saying get into smoking pot and all that, I’m just saying pull the stick out of your ass and lighten up a bit.

(beat)

Jed, I respect you so much. Enormously. It’s why I’m so attracted to you because you are such a man’s man but you need to lay back and get more down to Earth because that’s what will arouse me. I need you to watch a cartoon. I mean, what’s the last cartoon you remember watching in your life…The Flinstones? It’s a cool cartoon but dude, you’re missing out! I know you’ve heard of The Simpson’s, who hasn’t but have you even tried watching them or what about Family Guy? I mean, COME ON! These are shows you have to get down with because they are funny and they don’t let you take life so freaking seriously all the time. Get with the times and meet me halfway. It will not only be good for us but it will be REALLY good for you.
