I really need a monologue from a movie or play that portrays a nervous character, any ideas?

Answer 1

One of the movies in which Don Knotts was a nervous character was, "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". It's an old classic if you are looking for this type of character.

Answer 2

How about a nervous cat with a very long tail situated in a restraunt where all the chairs are rocking chairs? Actually, I just thought I would throw that in. In the original "Airplane" Movie, there is a character, that has never flown before, and shudders at every sound movement, and bump as the plane starts off. The background has obnoxious children screaming, a priest who is holding his rosary beads, and an alcoholic....you can probably use this and make your own spin from it...

Answer 3

Yes, I have a great one (if you are male).

It's Nikos monologue, where he is talking to Lydia. It's after the girls big fit having scene, and maybe a few pages after that. He;s talking about one scentence, and how it leads to another and how pretty soon, he just can't stop talking, because he's afraid someonw will inturrupt him and he wont get his whole thought out and then noone will understand him!

It's great. The character is always rather nervous and shy, and this is a beautifully written play.

Annie Wilkes - misery Adrian Balboa - Rocky Mia Wallace - Pulp Fiction Laurie Strode - Halloween The Bribe (Beatrix) - Kill bill Cataleya - Colombiana Mona Lisa Vito - My Cousin Vinny Sarah Connor - The Terminator Ginger Mckenna - on line casino Reggie Love - the customer

Answer 7

LOL! Don't any of you know what a MONOLOGUE is??? All of you are giving examples of DIALOGUE. Geez!

Here are two "Monologues" from FARGO. Read JERRY's lines. FOLLOW the other character's lines as pauses/subtext/motivation.

JERRY'S CUBICLE

He is on the phone.

JERRY
Yah, real good. How you doin'?

VOICE
Pretty good, Mr. Lundegaard.
You're damned hard to get on the
phone.

JERRY
Yah, it's pretty darned busy here,
but that's the way we like it.

VOICE
That's for sure. Now, I just
need, on these last, these financing
documents you sent us, I can't
read the serial numbers of the
vehicles on here, so I -

JERRY
But I already got the, it's okay,
the loans are in place, I already
got the, the what, the -

VOICE
Yeah, the three hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, you got the money
last month.

JERRY
Yah, so we're all set.

VOICE
Yeah, but the vehicles you were
borrowing on, I just can't read
the serial numbers on your
applicaton. Maybe if you could
just read them to me -

JERRY
But the deal's already done, I
already got the money -

VOICE
Yeah, but we have an audit here,
I just have to know that these
vehicles you're financing with
this money, that they really
exist.

JERRY
Yah, well, they exist all right.

VOICE
I'm sure they do - ha ha! But
I can't read their serial numbers
here. So if you could read me -

JERRY
Well, but see, I don't have 'em
in front a me - why don't I just
fax you over a copy -

VOICE
No, fax is no good, that's what
I have and I can't read the darn
thing -

JERRY
Yah, okay, I'll have my girl
send you over a copy, then.

VOICE
Okay, because if I can't correlate
this note with the specific vehicles,
then I gotta call back that money -

JERRY
Yah, how much money was that?

VOICE
Three hundred and twenty thousand
dollars. See, I gotta correlate
that money with the cars it's being
lent on.

JERRY
Yah, no problem, I'll just fax
that over to ya, then.

VOICE
No, no, fax is -

JERRY
I mean send it over. I'll shoot
it right over to ya.

VOICE
Okay.

JERRY
Okay, real good, then.

INT. WADE'S OFFICE

Wade sits behind his desk; another man rises as Jerry
enters.

JERRY
How ya doin' there, Stan? How
are ya, Wade?

Stan Grossman shakes his hand.

STAN
Good to see ya again, Jerry. If
these numbers are right, this
looks pretty sweet.

JERRY
Oh, those numbers are all right,
bleemee.

WADE
This is do-able.

STAN
Congratulations, Jerry.

JERRY
Yah, thanks, Stan, it's a pretty -

WADE
What kind of finder's fee were
you looking for?

JERRY
... Huh?

STAN
The financials are pretty thorough,
so the only thing we don't know
is your fee.

JERRY
... My fee? Wade, what the
heck're you talkin' about?

WADE
Stan and I're okay.

JERRY
Yah.

WADE
We're good to loan in.

JERRY
Yah.

WADE
But we never talked about your
fee for bringin' it to us.

JERRY
No, but, Wade, see, I was
bringin' you this deal for you
to loan me the money to put
in. It's my deal here, see?

Wade scowls, looks at Stan.

STAN
Jerry - we thought you were
bringin' us an investment.

JERRY
Yah, right -

STAN
You're sayin' - what're you
sayin'?

WADE
You're sayin' that we put in
all the money and you collect
when it pays off?

JERRY
No, no. I - I'd, I'd - pay you
back the principal, and interest
- heck, I'd go - one over prime -

STAN
We're not a bank, Jerry.

Wade is angry.

WADE
What the heck, Jerry, if I wanted
bank interest on seven hunnert'n
fifty thousand I'd go to Midwest
Federal. Talk to Bill Diehl.

STAN
He's at Norstar.

WADE
He's at -

JERRY
No, see, I don't need a finder's
fee, I need - finder's fee's, what,
ten percent, heck that's not gonna
do it for me. I need the principal.

STAN
Jerry, we're not just going to
give you seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.

WADE
What the heck were you thinkin'?
Heck, if I'm only gettin' bank
interest, I'd look for complete
security. Heck, FDIC. I don't
see nothin' like that here.

JERRY
Yah, but I - okay, I would, I'd
guarantee ya your money back.

WADE
I'm not talkin' about your damn
word, Jerry. Geez, what the
heck're you?... Well, look, I
don't want to cut you out of the
loop, but his here's a good deal.
I assume, if you're not innarested,
you won't mind if we move on it
independently.
