Monologue Mania Day #596 What's the Big Deal? by Janet S. Tiger Sept. 30, 2015

This is actually an idea for a short animated video. Would it work as a monologue (or two) without the visual? Not sure, but am working on it!

          (A large man is seen, drinking a beverage from a mug. He is smiling, enjoying the drink. A large woman enters, sees the man and is annoyed)

WOMAN - I knew it! I knew it! I just knew it!

          (She goes over to the mug and looks in, then grabs it and takes a swig)

MAN - I know you knew it.....we're a very knowing couple......

WOMAN - (Furious) If you washed out the mug, I would never have known!

         (She looks behind the man, shakes head)

WOMAN - Well, maybe never is an imaginary long time!

MAN - Stop being so worried and annoyed about everything, it'll ruin your enjoyment of the now!

WOMAN - Enjoyment of the now? What is that supposed to mean?

MAN - It means this.....

          (We see him reach and take a sugar cube and drop it into his coffee as she watches, furious)

MAN - Sweet!

WOMAN - Amazing! I've been working on this all day....why didn't you use the ones from the box!
I asked you to PLEASE use the ones from the box!

MAN - (Unconcerned) What's the big deal?

WOMAN - (Almost ranting) What's the big deal? (Starting to stamp her feet) What's the big deal? (Almost foaming at the mouth) WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

MAN - (Calm, sipping) Yeah, what's the big deal? I asked you to make me a cup of coffee, and you said you were busy, and I figure....what's the big deal? I'll make it myself....and I did, and .....(smiling, seductive).....you know I like sweet stuff in my drink, baby....

          (He reaches over and grabs her around the waist, bringing her closer)

MAN - And you know I like your sweet stuff.....so, whaddaya say?

          (Even though annoyed, she starts to giggle)

MAN - You can finish later......right? There's always tomorrow......

         (He takes her arm and they start to walk off. She looks back, suddenly takes a sugar cube and runs puts the cube on top of a pile of other cubes. He shakes his head, reaches out his hand. )

WOMAN - I guess you're right, there's always tomorrow......

          (As they exit, the camera will show a distant image of what looks like stacked sugar cubes.....in a shape we recognize as.....the real pyramids of Giza......and there are a few of the stones missing........but, hey?what's the big deal, it's still impressive from most of the angles....)
