Monologue Mania Day #518 When is it Time? (for Radio Row) by Janet S. Tiger July 15, 2015
For other Radio Row pieces, please see Day # 158, 211, 214, 238
When is it Time?
(for Radio Row)
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © all rights reserved tigerteam1@gmail.com
(George, the narrator's brother is telling Eddie what to write, and Eddie is typing on an old machine as George smokes and composes a letter.)
June 10, 1962. To the esteemed justices of the Supreme Court. My name is George Levinsky and I am the owner of Levinsky Electronics on 571 Church Street, and I want to tell you all something.
Screw you!
(Eddie starts to protest, but George talks over him)
And I don't care what you think of me, but you are wrong not to listen to our case. Just because we are the Davids against the Rockefeller Goliaths, doesn't mean you shouldn't give us our day in court!
Maybe you've never been to New York City, and maybe you've never been to Radio Row, where my store is, but I can guarantee you have a radio in your home, and in your car, and if you ever were on a plane, your life depended on a radio.
We here on Radio Row helped win World War II - and just because someone with more money wants us to get out of stores we have had in families for two generations -...DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT!. Eddie, in the final, put that part in capitals ....
This is America, and when you start to take away the small businessman's right to have his own property, his right to hire people, and take care of employees for years, and offer the public good quality........when you start to remove our footprint from the cities across this great land.....you will see the beginning of the end of those cities. For those cities will become home to only the rich - and the poor.
Do you want that to be your legacy?
If you do, then I repeat myself -SCREW YOU!
And Eddie, put that last part in capitals and underline it!
(He turns to leave, listens, stops, looks back)
Yeah, Eddie, I know it's a lost cause now......they won't even listen to the case, but I got the right to keep fighting, same as they have the right to keep stepping on me......you ask me - when is it time to give up? I'm telling you....Never!
(End of scene)
