Question

What are some places online i can look to find a 3 to 5 minute dialague or scene (or w/e you call it)? its for school...drama class. lol, thanks guys! love ya'll!

Answer 1

You aughta try writing one yourself. Taking what you know from the world and re-arranging it into a situation to make a point that is funny/sad/poigiant/whatever is very fufilling, all the more so when you perform it for others. Plus, if you're picky about stuff like that it can take less effort.

Answer 2

Taming of the shrew-
((( Act 2 scene i)))


PETRUCHIO.

I'll attend her here
And woo her with some spirit when she comes.
Say that she rail; why then I'll tell her plain
165 She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly washed with dew.
Say she be mute and will not speak a word;
Then I'll commend her volubility,
170 And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks,
As though she bid me stay by her a week.
If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day
When I shall ask the banns and when be marrièd.
175 But here she comes—and now, Petruchio, speak.
Good morrow, Kate—for that's your name, I hear.
Good morning, Kate, for I hear that's what you're called.

KATHERINE
Well have you heard, but something hard of hearing.
They call me Katherine that do talk of me.
KATHERINE
Is that what you've heard? Then you'd better get your ears checked. I am called Katherine by those who have any business using my name.

PETRUCHIO
You lie, in faith, for you are called plain Kate,
180 And bonny Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst,
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom,
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate—
For dainties are all Kates—and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation:
185 Hearing thy mildness praised in every town,
Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded—
Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs—
Myself am moved to woo thee for my wife.
PETRUCHIO
Liar. In fact, you're called Kate, plain Kate—and pretty Kate, and sometimes Kate the shrew. But it's definitely Kate—the prettiest Kate in the world, Katie, Kitty, Kat-woman, the Kate-ster—and so, Kate, here's my pitch: that having heard your charming disposition praised—not to mention your beauty and your virtues, though none of them as richly as you deserve—I find myself driven to propose. I want you for my wife.

KATHERINE
“Moved,” in good time. Let him that moved you hither
190 Remove you hence. I knew you at the first
You were a moveable.
KATHERINE
“Driven?” Really? Well, let whoever drove you here drive you back again. I had you figured for a piece of furniture.

PETRUCHIO
Why, what's a moveable?
PETRUCHIO
What do you mean by “furniture”?

KATHERINE
A joint stool.
KATHERINE
A nice stool.

PETRUCHIO
Thou hast hit it. Come, sit on me.
PETRUCHIO
You're right, actually. Come sit on me.

KATHERINE
Asses are made to bear, and so are you.
KATHERINE
Asses are made for bearing, and so are you.

PETRUCHIO
Women are made to bear, and so are you.

KATHERINE
195 No such jade as you, if me you mean.

KATHERINE
Not by the likes of you!

PETRUCHIO
Alas, good Kate, I will not burden thee,
For knowing thee to be but young and light—
PETRUCHIO
Oh heavens, Kate, I wouldn't think of burdening you. I know how light and carefree you are.

KATHERINE
Too light for such a swain as you to catch,
And yet as heavy as my weight should be.
KATHERINE
Too light for a lout like you to catch—though no lighter than I should be.

PETRUCHIO
200 “Should be”—should buzz!
PETRUCHIO
Should be? Maybe you should be the subject of some buzz!

KATHERINE
Well ta'en, and like a buzzard.
KATHERINE
Buzz off, buzzard .

PETRUCHIO
O slow-winged turtle, shall a buzzard take thee?
PETRUCHIO
If I'm a buzzard, you're a turtledove .

KATHERINE
Ay, for a turtle, as he takes a buzzard.
KATHERINE
Only a buzzard would think so.

PETRUCHIO
Come, come, you wasp. I' faith, you are too angry.
PETRUCHIO
Come, my little wasp—you're too angry.

KATHERINE
If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
KATHERINE
If I'm a wasp, look out for my stinger.

PETRUCHIO
205 My remedy is then to pluck it out.
PETRUCHIO
All I have to do is remove it.

KATHERINE
Ay, if the fool could find it where it lies.
KATHERINE
True, if a fool such as yourself could find it.

PETRUCHIO
Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting?
In his tail.
PETRUCHIO
Everyone knows where a wasp wears its stinger. In its tail.

KATHERINE
In his tongue.
KATHERINE
No, in its tongue.

PETRUCHIO
Whose tongue?
PETRUCHIO
Whose tongue?

KATHERINE
210 Yours, if you talk of tales. And so farewell.

PETRUCHIO
What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again,
Good Kate. I am a gentleman.
PETRUCHIO
You're leaving with my tongue in your tail? No, come back, Kate. I'm too much of a gentleman.

KATHERINE
That I'll try.
KATHERINE
A gentleman? We'll see about that!

She strikes him
She strikes him.

PETRUCHIO
I swear I'll cuff you if you strike again.
PETRUCHIO
I swear I'll smack you if you hit me again.

KATHERINE
So may you lose your arms.
215 If you strike me, you are no gentleman;
And if no gentleman, why then no arms.
KATHERINE
Not if you want to keep your arms! If you hit me, that proves you're not a gentleman . And if you're not a gentleman, you don't have any arms.

PETRUCHIO
A herald, Kate? Oh, put me in thy books!
PETRUCHIO
Are you a herald , Kate? Put me in your books!

KATHERINE
What is your crest? A coxcomb?
KATHERINE
What is your crest ? A coxcomb ?

PETRUCHIO
A combless cock, so Kate will be my hen.
PETRUCHIO
I'll give up my comb , if you'll be my hen.

KATHERINE
220 No cock of mine. You crow too like a craven.
KATHERINE
Your cock is not for me. It has no fighting spirit.

PETRUCHIO
Nay, come, Kate, come. You must not look so sour.
PETRUCHIO
Oh, come on now, Kate. Don't look so sour.

KATHERINE
It is my fashion, when I see a crab.
KATHERINE
That's my way, when I see a crab-apple.

PETRUCHIO
Why, here's no crab, and therefore look not sour.
PETRUCHIO
There's no crab-apple here, so don't look sour.

KATHERINE
There is, there is.

PETRUCHIO
225 Then show it me.
PETRUCHIO
Show me.

KATHERINE
Had I a glass, I would.
KATHERINE
I would, if I had a mirror.

PETRUCHIO
What, you mean my face?
PETRUCHIO
What, you mean my face looks like a crab-apple?

KATHERINE
Well aimed of such a young one.
KATHERINE
What a clever child he is!

PETRUCHIO
Now, by Saint George, I am too young for you.
PETRUCHIO
You know, you're right. I probably am too young for you.

KATHERINE
230 Yet you are withered.
KATHERINE
Maybe, but you're wrinkled all the same.

PETRUCHIO
'Tis with cares.
PETRUCHIO
Oh, that's with worry.

KATHERINE
I care not.
KATHERINE
Well, that doesn't worry me.

PETRUCHIO
Nay, hear you, Kate: in sooth you 'scape not so.
PETRUCHIO
Listen, Kate! You won't get away like that.

KATHERINE
I chafe you, if I tarry. Let me go.
KATHERINE
Let me go. I'll make you angry if I stay.

PETRUCHIO
No, not a whit. I find you passing gentle.
'Twas told me you were rough and coy and sullen,
235 And now I find report a very liar.
For thou are pleasant, gamesome, passing courteous,
But slow in speech, yet sweet as springtime flowers.
Thou canst not frown, thou canst not look askance,
Nor bite the lip as angry wenches will,
240 Nor hast thou pleasure to be cross in talk.
But thou with mildness entertain'st thy wooers,
With gentle conference, soft and affable.
Why does the world report that Kate doth limp?

O slanderous world! Kate like the hazel-twig
245 Is straight and slender and as brown in hue
As hazel nuts, and sweeter than the kernels.
Oh, let me see thee walk! Thou dost not halt.
The world's a liar. Kate is as straight and slender as a hazel-twig, her hair as brown as hazelnut shells, and she herself sweeter than the kernels. Take a few steps—I want to see you walk. You don't limp at all!

KATHERINE
Go, fool, and whom thou keep'st command.
KATHERINE
Get out of here, fool, and give orders to your servants, not me.

PETRUCHIO
Did ever Dian so become a grove
250 As Kate this chamber with her princely gait?
Oh, be thou Dian, and let her be Kate,
And then let Kate be chaste and Dian sportful.
PETRUCHIO
Did Diana ever beautify a grove as much as Kate beautifies this room with her queenly movements? You be Diana, and let Diana be Kate. Then let Kate be the chaste one, while Diana plays with me.

KATHERINE
Where did you study all this goodly speech?
KATHERINE
Where do you memorize all this smart talk?

PETRUCHIO
It is extempore, from my mother wit.
PETRUCHIO
I make it up as I go. It's born of my mother wit .

KATHERINE
255 A witty mother! Witless else her son.
KATHERINE
A witty mother! Too bad about the son!

PETRUCHIO
Am I not wise?
PETRUCHIO
Am I not wise?

KATHERINE
Yes, keep you warm.
KATHERINE
Enough to keep yourself warm.

PETRUCHIO
Marry, so I mean, sweet Katherine, in thy bed.
And therefore, setting all this chat aside,
Thus in plain terms: your father hath consented
260 That you shall be my wife, your dowry 'greed on,
And, will you, nill you, I will marry you.
Now, Kate, I am a husband for your turn,
For, by this light, whereby I see thy beauty,
Thy beauty that doth make me like thee well,
265 Thou must be married to no man but me.
For I am he am born to tame you, Kate,
And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate
Conformable as other household Kates.

good luck.
