Two Shades Away | DRAMA MONOLOGUE
An example of a 30 Second Monologue
Wall Street, Gordon Gekko
An example of a 1 Minute Monologue
1. Public’s out there throwing darts at a board, sport – I don’t throw darts at a board. I bet on sure things. Read Sun-tsu, The Art of War. Every battle is won, before it is ever fought. Think about it. You’re not as smart as I thought you were buddy boy. Ever wonder why fund managers can’t beat the S&P 500? ‘Cause they’re sheep — and sheep get slaughtered. I’ve been in this business since ’69. Most of these Harvard MBA types – don’t add up to dog shit. Give me guys that are poor, smart and hungry. And no feelings. You win a few, you loose a few… but you keep on fighting . . . and if you need a friend, get a dog . . . it’s trench warfare out there Pal.
Hey, Georgie.
