Featured Monologue – Top of the Mornin’
SAMMY: Yeah. Hey, that’s fine. You’re not in the mood. Alright. Yeah. Hey, you know what, bud? I’m not in the mood either. Hey, you wouldn’t believe the sort of troubles I had goings on to come over here, really. F’kn’ crossin’ the street, gettin’ hit by a renegade shopping cart. No, really. Some turd, a ghost maybe, I don’t know, who, who could it be? Who could be thrashin’ a cart ’round like that? Maybe the wind? Somehow it’s shootin’ down the hill, wheels blazin’, streakin’, Superman without a cape, alright, blastin’ right into me, top of the mornin’. Cold outside. I’m flipped over, seein’ my breath mergin’ with the sky. Thought I croaked or some sh’t, but the pain in my elbow, my knee, left knee, ankle — THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE — crushed from that stupid metal cart. Now. Bright side. Wanna know the bright side?
Bruce makes a face.
The bright side, buddy boy, is that — an’ I don’t care to know how, or which way, or why — the bright side is that there was THIS (holding up a pocket watch). Unscathed. No scratches. Perfect condition. Mint. Antique. Polished and beamin’. Worth somethin’? I think so.
I definitely think so, buddy. Here, bud, gimme what you got. (places watch on Bruce’s desk) …How much?
