Summer Monologues

SUMMER: I dream about flying. Not really flying. More like… floating. Like, it starts out I”m running really fast. And then the… terrain… gets all rocky and steep. But I don”t slow down. I just climb higher with every stride. Before I know it, I”m… floating. I”m going so fast my feet don”t even touch the ground. I”m up in the air and I”m… I don”t know… free. It”s this incredible feeling. But then I look down. And the minute I do… everything changes. There I am… I”m floating, high above the earth, nothing can touch me, right? I”m free and I”m safe and it hits me, just like that… I”m completely, utterly, alone. And then I wake up. I”ve never told anyone that.More Monologues from “500 Days of Summer”

SUMMER: You don”t believe a woman could enjoy being free and independent? No, I”m not a lesbian. I”m just not comfortable being somebody”s “girlfriend.” I don”t want to be anybody”s anything, you know? It sounds selfish, I know, but… I just like being on my own. Relationships are messy and feelings get hurt. Who needs all that? We”re young. We”re in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I say, let”s have as much fun as we can have and leave the serious stuff for later.More Monologues from “500 Days of Summer”
