Monologue Mania Day # 1386 Sorry by Janet S. Tiger (c) Nov. 30, 2017  
                                                             Sorry
            
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger (c) all rights reserved 2017

             (This is a man who is nicely dressed, well-spoken, he might even look like a gentleman, he walks to the middle of the stage and addresses the audience with confidence, yet very apologetic)


The first thing I want to do is thank everyone for their support, because I know that my behavior has made it difficult for my family and my friends to support me.  And I know they may not support what I have done, which is wrong, and which I am truly sorry for, but for their belief in me, and that I can change.

What I did to women over the past decades, well, I say it again, and I will continue to say it to all those women that I have hurt in any way.  I say it to my wife, my children, my mother, who taught me better than this, and to everyone who has helped me, thinking that I could never have done these things.

People ask why these events happen, well, I can tell you, honestly, that I did not realize the pain they caused.  I thought that women liked me, and so, I could do....(deep breath)....things that were....not appropriate, because of that misconception.

So now, when the truth has finally emerged due to some very brave women, I humbly apologize and ask forgiveness with all my heart.

As a father of daughters, as a man, I....am....truly.....sorry.....

          (He leaves, but as he is nearly offstage, we hear him say, almost as if he is thinking it in his head)

I am truly sorry.....I was caught.....

          (He exits.  Not the end for now, but maybe in a future galaxy far, far away)
