Featured Monologue – The Interim

Into the phone.

JONESY: Craig! We got another one. (beat) Yeah. Through the window. (beat) What? Craig, you’re the one that I’m supposed to call! What do you want me to do about it? You’re the one who is supposed to handle such matters. I don’t give a damn what kind of time it is. You get yourself over here and take hold of what you’re supposed to do! I don’t need any of your comments, your drunken slurs, or your rambling stories! You got that?! WAKE UP! You wake up with both eyes, get dressed, and march your backside over here before the sun begins to shine. Or else I’m calling The Duke. Got that? Oh yeah, I will call The Duke and we both know what will happen, don’t we? Well, alright!

WHO? You’re kidding me? That mindless fud is worse off than you. Send him. FINE! But you’re under strong consideration for a complaint.

Jonesy hangs up the phone.
