Youre a Good Man

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Charlie Brown)

Category: Musical Role: Charlie Brown From: 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 MonologuesRelatedShareTweetPin

Category: Musical Role: Lucy From: Charlie Brown

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 MonologuesRelatedShareTweetPin

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.

Youre a Good Man

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Sally)

Category: Musical Role: Sally From: Charlie Brown

Sally: A “C”? A “C”? I got a “C” on my coat hanger sculpture? How could anyone get a “C” in coat hanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, is it fair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my effort, then I was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on what I had learned about this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my “C”? Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of coat hanger itself out of which my creation was made…now is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged by the quality of coat hangers that are used by the dry cleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my “C”? [teachers voice is heard] Thank you, Miss Othmar. (to audience) The squeaky wheel gets the grease!More Charlie Brown MonologuesRelatedShareTweetPin

Youre a Good Man

Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Schroeder)

Category: Musical Role: Schroeder From: Charlie Brown

Schroeder: I”m sorry to have to say it to your face, Lucy, but it”s true. You”re a very crabby person. I know your crabbiness has probably become so natural to you now that you”re not even aware when you”re being crabby, but it”s true just the same. You”re a very crabby person and you”re crabby to just about everyone you meet. Now I hope you don”t mind my saying this, Lucy, and I hope you”re take it in the spirit that it”s meant. I think we should be very open to any opportunity to learn more about ourselves. I think Socrates was very right when he said that one of the first rules for anyone in life is “Know Thyself”. Well, I guess I”ve said about enough. I hope I haven”t offended you or anything. (awkward exit)More Charlie Brown MonologuesRelatedShareTweetPin

Category: Musical Role: Elder Price From: The Book of Mormon

ELDER PRICE: Well, well… If it isn”t the SUPER MORMON. Spreading “the word”?! Making more – BRAIN WASHED ZOMBIES?! How is it YOU converted all those people into Mormons! You get everything you pray for. YOU”RE doing everything I was supposed to do. Doesn”t that seem a little telling to you?! The universe doesn”t work the way we were told! When I was nine years old… My family took a trip to Orlando, Florida. It was the most wonderful, most magical place I had ever seen. I said to myself “THIS is where I want to spend eternity!” My parents told me that if I made God proud, and did whatever the church asked, in the Latter Days I could have whatever I wanted. So I WORKED and I WORKED. And even when I studied Mormon stories and I thought, “That doesn”t make ANY SENSE”, I KEPT WORKING because I was told ONE DAY – I would get my reward!! Planet Orlando! But what do I have now? I can”t even get a ticket home…More Monologues from “The Book of Mormon”RelatedShareTweetPin

ELDER CUNNINGHAM: And so, yeah, so then Christ said to the Nephites, “be strong!” You know?! “Just because Laminates got big death star weapons and stuff doesn”t mean they should run your lives! There”s more of you than there are of them, you know? You should always… stand up for yourselves, Christ said!
