Monologue Mania Day #935 Rich (30-second version) by Janet S. Tiger (c) Sept. 4, 2015
Rich
A 30-second monologue by Janet S. Tiger
(Young man comes out, bouncing onto the stage. He is excited, happy, very stoked)
Hey, man, haven't seen you around here in, like, a long time! Yeah, I'm fine, and in a very short time, so very rich! ..This is way better than when we was in high school, stealin' beer from old man Wong and his family in that grocery, right man?
(He pulls something out of his pocket and shows it)
I got this for only $20..... cut it right, and I can sell 10 bags for $30 each.....that's like $300! I mean, I thought dope was easy, but this, once they get a taste, people just gotta have it! They'll sell their damn babies to get more!
(Thinking, getting even more excited) I'm gonna be RICH!
(He dances around, puts the bag away)
So, man, didja move outta here? Haven't seen you in a long time... Whatcha been doin'?
(Listens)
(Horrified) You're a....COP?
(Starts backing up, turns to leave, looks back)
And I'm really gonna be an actor! This was my audition piece I'm working on.....and it ends like this!
(Starts running fast.....exits. Blackout. The end of another dream)

Hey, man, haven't seen you around here in, like, a long time! Yeah, I'm fine, very fine, so fine and in a very short time, so very rich! You heard me, man, I'm gonna be rich! Like, enough money to get me a car! A good set of wheels, man, and one for my mother, and like a house for her, and new clothes! Rich! Really rich! And it's so easy, man! I wish I'd known about this sooner.....This is way better than when we was in high school, stealin' beer from old man Wong and his family in that grocery, right man?
(He pulls something out of his pocket and shows it)
See this? I got this for only $20.....all I gotta do is cut it right, and I can sell 10 bags for $30 each.....that's like $300! And it is so easy to sell, man. I mean, I thought dope was easy, but this, once they get a taste, people just gotta have it! I seen guys tweakin' for days! They'll sell their damn babies to get more! Amazing!
(Thinking, getting even more excited) I figure, all I need is a few bucks to get started, and then I am gonna be ...rich! I know this school, where all the kids just wanna buy, they just love to get high....hey, that could be like my advertising! If you wanna get high, come to me to buy......maybe I'll get cards printed, who knows? I'm gonna be RICH!
I'm gonna have so much money, all the chicks'll be coming around to me, and I'll have a different one every night! I've been waiting for this my whole life! Rich!
(He dances around, puts the bag away)
So, man, didja move outta here? Haven't seen you in a long time......how's your old lady? Whatcha been doin'?
(Listens)
(Horrified) You're a WHAT? A.....cop?
(Starts backing up, turns to leave, looks back)
