Violet says

My name’s not Violet. My name has never been Violet. I always introduce myself as Elizabeth. It’s my name. It’s always been my name. Meredith called me Shrinking Violet once during my freshman year and ever since then, everyone thinks my name is Violet. My name is not Violet. It’s been fourteen years. Stop fucking calling me Violet!

(PRAGUE: Relax, Honey.)

I will not relax. You know, I’ve expended so much energy over the years trying to get you to notice me. All of you. Why do I care what you think? How is it I think about you when you aren’t there? Still. All the time. All of you? You’re not that special. You never were. No one cares about you. No one knows who you are. You’ve built this wind tunnel around you that celebrates your cult. It’s not a real thing. Theater isn’t even a real thing. My mother thinks I open curtains during Lion King. And you! All the things you do are insignificant. You are selfish and you are oblivious and you are all terrible people.

Violet says

Your instincts are right. I can’t wait for when you fall on your face. I hate you so much. So so much. So so so much. I’ve done everything. I cut my hair. She doesn’t notice. I dye my hair, I dye it back, shave it off, grow it back. Nothing. Change my eye shadow. Change my lipstick. I put on my good bra and the tight dress and glitter but nothing. Nothing. You wear that and have that face and don’t write a fucking word and she’s all over you drooling like Prague shouldn’t drool.

VIOLET: Oh, it”s no use, we might as well come clean; he”s going to get us anyway.

SHE looks at HART, quietly furious and growing stronger and more certain.We all do the work of keeping things running around here as best we can, Mr. Tinsworthy, not him. He plays golf and drinks scotch and takes the credit. Any why? “Cause he”s “The Guy”.No, you wait a minute! I”ve been waiting my whole life! See – we”re not The Guy. We”re just the “Little Guy”. The little guy doesn”t play golf… he plays catch up. The little guy is late picking the kids up from school because of work – and late getting to work because of the kids. The little guy cooks and coaches ball and balances budgets and squeezes a dollar as far as it can go, and works her ass off, and if that doesn”t qualify her to be heard and seen and respected, well WHAT DOES?And so, yeah, we kidnapped Mr. Hart and threw him in the back of my Buick… We tried to make everything better and now he”s going to get all the credit and we”re gonna get ten to life.More Monologues from “9 to 5″RelatedShareTweetPin

VIOLET: You gave that promotion to Bob Enright instead of me? I trained him for God”s sake! Oh, so it”s the old boys club. I”m going, but before I do, I have one more thing to say. Don”t you ever refer to me as your “girl” again. I am no girl. I am a woman. W-O-M-Y-N! I”m not your wife, your mother or your mistress. I”m your employee and I expect to be treated equally, with a little dignity and a little respect! Oh, come off it, Doralee. Everyone knows you and Mr. Hart are having an affair.More Monologues from “9 to 5″RelatedShareTweetPin
