Teens Monologues

The Notebook (Allie)

ALLIE: Low class? Don”t you ever call him low class. He may not have any money, but he”s got more class than you and you and all of your stupid society friends put together! It”s not final for me. You can tell me how I have to dress, and what schools and social events I have to attend. (shouting, near tears) But you”re not going to tell me who I have to love! I know. He”s not what you want for me. He doesn”t fit. He doesn”t have any money or status, but I don”t care. Because he has a soul. And I love him from the tips of my toes with everything I have. He makes me prickle.More Monologues from “The Notebook”

Mean Girls (Gretchen)

GRETCHEN: I mean, if you even knew how mean she really is. You know I”m not allowed to wear hoop earrings, right? She told me two years ago that hoop earrings were “her thing” and I wasn”t allowed to wear them anymore. And then my parents got me a pair of really expensive white gold hoops for Hanukkah and I had to act like I didn”t like them. It was so sad. And you know she still cheats on Aaron. Every Thursday she hooks up with Shane Oman in the alcove behind the auditorium. And I never told anybody that cause I”m such a good friend!More Monologues from “Mean Girls”

Fences (Cory)

CORY: Mama… listen… I can”t drag Papa with me everywhere I go. I”ve got to say no to him. One time in my life I”ve got to say no. The whole time I was growing up… living in his house… Papa was like a shadow that followed you everywhere. It weighed on you and sunk into your flesh. It would wrap around you and lay there until you couldn”t tell which one was you anymore. That shadow digging in your flesh. Trying to crawl in. Trying to live through you. Everywhere I looked, Troy Maxson was staring back at me… hiding under the bed… in the closet. I”m just saying I”ve got to find a way to get rid of that shadow, Mama. I don”t want to be Troy Maxson. I want to be me.More Monologues from “Fences”

Easy A (Olive)

OLIVE: Remember how I told you Google Earth couldn”t find me if I was a ten story building? Well, the next day it could”ve found me if I was dressed as a needle at a haystack convention. I was now the center of attention and it felt pretty damn good.If I”d known losing my virginity would”ve created such a new awesome persona for myself, I”d have lied about it back in eighth grade. Eighth grade sucked. I did get my first kiss back then, however. It was gross and kind of turned me off to the whole my-tongue-in-other-people”s-mouths thing. Not to mention the even-worse other-people”s-tongues-in-my-mouth thing. Seriously, who invented kissing and why do people want to do it so much? It”s not like that”s how we procreate. Back then I didn”t know that of course. If I”d known Woodchuck Todd was going to turn out so hot, I probably would have cherished the moment more.More Monologues from “Easy A”

Clueless (Cher)

CHER: My birthday”s in April. As someone who”s older can I give you some advice? I mean, I don”t want to sound all judgmental and all, but it”s one thing to spark up a doobie and get laced at parties, it”s quite another to be fried at school all day. The loadies generally hang in the stairwell over there. Sometimes they get to class and say bonehead things and we all laugh of course. But no respectable girl actually dates them. I don”t mean to be harsh, but you don”t want to start off on the wrong foot, do you? That”s Alana”s group over there. They all do the T.V. station and they think that”s the most important thing on earth… our school has its own channel throughout Beverly Hills… You like working on T.V. stations? Then forget them, they just hang by themselves… There”s the “Persian Mafia”, you can”t hang with them unless you own a B.M.W… And there”s the “Crew”. The choicest males at our school. If you make the decision to date a high school boy, those are the only acceptable ones. Hey, I”ve got a great idea! Let”s do a makeover!More Monologues from “Clueless”

Cant Hardly Wait” (Preston)

PRESTON: It”s like if there really is one person out there for everybody, why wouldn”t you wait for just the right moment to tell them how you feel? And, if the two of you really are meant to be then you have to believe that that moment will come. And I think it has. Tonight. And I know that like, if I tried to tell Amanda all this in person it would never come out right and I”m always much better when I can write things down, so… This – this is everything I”ve been wanting to say to her for the past four years. Like how my heart stops every time I see her. And how her smile ranks up there as one of the most beautiful things in the world, you know?And I told her she deserves better Mike Dexter. I know she does. There”s so much more to her than that. I really want her to know it. And hey, it”s not like I”m thinking she”s gonna read this and run away with me to Vegas but… Well, if she”d even just give me a chance – just the slightest chance… then, who knows? We might really be happy.It”s good, isn”t it? I really think she”s gonna love it. And I think I”m ready to do this. It”s time. (a beat) Any words of encouragement?More Monologues from “Can”t Hardly Wait”

Adventureland (Eric)

ERIC: You still thinking about graduate school? Total mistake. What do you need another degree for? Did Henry Miller need a degree? Or Samuel Beckett? Yeah, shut up, my point is – you don”t come from money. Graduate school”s gonna require massive loans. Three more years of school, then, what, a decade or two of paying them off?Why not blow your brains out now? Take some time to picture the narrative of your life. Needing it or wanting money is the fundamental trap of human kind. Look, I want you to know you”ll be with me in spirit this summer. Take this….From a coat pocket, Eric produces a baggie that contains several thin, poorly-rolled joints.Take it. You think you don”t like weed. You will. Brennan, you”ll be with me! In a few short months we”ll be in New York City. We”ll be living the adventure together!More Monologues from “Adventureland”

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Charlie Brown)

Charlie Brown: I think lunchtime is about the worst time of day for me. Always having to sit here alone. Of course, sometimes, mornings aren”t so pleasant either. Waking up and wondering if anyone would really miss me if I never got out of bed. Then there”s the night, too. Lying there and thinking about all the stupid things I”ve done during the day. And all those hours in between when I do all those stupid things. Well, lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me. Well, I guess I”d better see what I”ve got. Peanut butter. Some psychiatrists say that people who eat peanut butter sandwiches are lonely…I guess they”re right. And when you”re really lonely, the peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. There”s that cute little red-headed girl eating her lunch over there. I wonder what she would do if I went over and asked her if I could sit and have lunch with her? She”d probably laugh right in my face… it”s hard on a face when it gets laughed in. There”s an empty place next to her on the bench. There”s no reason why I couldn”t just go over and sit there. All I have to do is stand up… I”m standing up! I”m sitting down. I”m a coward. I”m so much of a coward, she wouldn”t even think of looking at me. She hardly ever does look at me. In fact, I can”t remember her ever looking at me. Why shouldn”t she look at me? Is there any reason in the world why she shouldn”t look at me? Is she so great, and I”m so small, that she can”t spare one little moment? SHE”S LOOKING AT ME!! SHE”S LOOKING AT ME!! (he puts his lunch bag over his head.) …Lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me. If that little red-headed girl is looking at me with this stupid bag over my head she must think I”m the biggest fool alive. But, if she isn”t looking at me, then maybe I could take it off quickly and she”d never notice it. On the other hand…I can”t tell if she”s looking, until I take it off! Then again, if I never take it off I”ll never have to know if she was looking or not. On the other hand…it”s very hard to breathe in here. (he removes his sack) Whew! She”s not looking at me! I wonder why she never looks at me? Oh well, another lunch hour over with… only 2,863 to go.More Charlie Brown Monologues

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Lucy)

Lucy: Now Linus, I want you to take a good look at Charlie Brown”s face. Would you please hold still a minute, Charlie Brown, I want Linus to study your face. Now, this is what you call a Failure Face, Linus. Notice how it has failure written all over it. Study it carefully, Linus. You rarely see such a good example. Notice the deep lines, the dull, vacant look in the eyes. Yes, I would say this is one of the finest examples of a Failure Face that you”re liable to see for a long while.More Charlie Brown Monologues

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Lucy)

Lucy: Do you know what I intend? I intend to be a queen. When I grow up I”m going to be the biggest queen there ever was, and I”ll live in a big palace and when I go out in my coach, all the people will wave and I will shout at them, and… and… in the summertime I will go to my summer palace and I”ll wear my crown in swimming and everything, and all the people will cheer and I will shout at them… What do you mean I can”t be queen? Nobody should be kept from being a queen if she wants to be one. It”s usually just a matter of knowing the right people….well…. if I can”t be a queen, then I”ll be very rich then I will buy myself a queendom. Yes, I will buy myself a queendom and then I”ll kick out the old queen and take over the whole operation myself. I will be head queen.More Charlie Brown Monologues
