Hairspray (Link)

Category: Musical Role: Link From: Hairspray

LINK: Oh, Tracy, seeing you dragged off to jail brought me back to my senses. I thought I”d lose it when I thought I lost you. I couldn”t eat, I couldn”t sing. I couldn”t even concentrate. So I went down to the station to tell Mrs. Von Tussle I was through with the Miss Hairspray broadcast… When I got to the station I overheard Mrs. Von Tussle talking to Spritzer. Tracy, it”s Amber the talent scouts are coming to see. It had nothing to do with me. All this time I thought Amber and I were a team. She and her mother were just using me to make her look popular. I feel like such an idiot. (suddenly romantic) I know a palooka like me isn”t worthy of a ground breaking extremist like you, but… (he produces his ring) …It”s a little scuffed from Amber throwing it in my face when I told her I”d rather be with you. So, would you consider wearing my ring? “To lose thee were to lose myself.” Some kid named Milton wrote that in the third floor boys room.More Monologues from “Hairspray”RelatedShareTweetPin

TRACY: No, I”ve got to turn myself in and go back to jail. I can”t put all of you in any more danger. We should”ve thought more before we broke out. My dad could lose the Har-de-Har Hut. And, Link, you could go to prison for what you did tonight… And Ms. Motormouth, we”ve just been on three channels of news, I don”t want you to get arrested for harboring a fugitive. And, Penny… your mother will kill you! This time it won”t be like Mother-Daughter Day again. Mrs. Von Tussle said there”ll be armed guards at the Eventorium. Someone could get shot. I just think it”s stupid we can”t all dance together.More Monologues from “Hairspray”RelatedShareTweetPin

You have something against Connie Francis? They”re kids, Corny. That”s why we have to steer them in the white direction… I mean… you know what I mean. Ah, ah, ah! None of that!
