The monologue has to be 2 minutes long. Jeff is a stressed, self obssessed and single business man. He has spent his entire life working, and even divorced his wife for the sake of work. He does not believe in luck, destiny and God. Only in himself. He is very rich now and successful. But bitter because he has not much human contact.
The scene starts when Jeff is in his office, and he throws his files and papers with anger on the desk. He sighs, and wipes the sweat off his forehead. And has a glass or two of alocohol, to calm himself down. He sits down and starts to talk...
What could he talk about? Is he angry? or sad? or depressed? Please, if any ideas, email me, i MUST write up draft 1 tonight!!!

The scene could start with him looking at the time and asking himself "WHY am I still at the office at 10pm?"
I would hope, at this point, he starts to question where he is, how he got there and was it worth it?
He could examine his failed marriage and maybe realize it wasn't that she was demanding anything unreasonable...
I know a guy that recently quit his job because he worked so much, he overheard his kids telling Mommy that they hoped they would get to see Daddy before the weekend...
He could question what he has thrown away vs what he has now...
He could, at the end, revert to his stereotype, bitterly complain people are too much trouble and go back to work, because understanding facts and figures is easier than people... OR he could finish his project, type up a resignation and include it with his report to the boss and walk away...

since he is self-obsessed, he could ask himself 'what is wrong with people.? why can't anyone around here do anything right? do i have to do all the work myself?' etc, etc
