Featured Monologue – Outer Reaches of Space

JOHN: Can you run in and ask someone if they have exactly what you are looking for? I’m already getting heart palpitations; just go in there, ask the lady if she has the cream you want, if she says no, bounce, if she says yes, buy it.

Don’t go in there and have another two hour conversation about where she’s from and asking about discounts and samples, okay?

Yeah, I know I sound crazy, you’ve already got me worked up to like a level nine. Look at me, I’m twitching; my eyelid is starting to pulsate, alright? Look..look at my eye..did you just see that? It wiggled. Why do you think that is? Hmm? The heat? You think it’s–well, it is hot in here, not gonna lie, but, you know–I’ve been starving for three hours and you’re trying on skirts.

You need to move it along baby. Just, just, keep it moving.

Go in and I’ll wait out here, I can’t go in another store…yeah…(pointing) I’ll be standing by that pole trying not to die. Okay, honey.
