- Monologue Description: "Phone Calls" is about playing the "date" game.
Character Description: In this monologue, Meagan talks to her girlfriend over lunch about her frustration over the games guys play when it comes to making the first call. Meagan eats alot of food during this monologue due to her anxiety over Frank, the guy she recently met. The food should be used as a prop for the scene.
MEAGAN:
Why do these guys have to play these stupid asinine games? Why do they have to have a dumb three day rule? I mean, if you like me and you are thinking about me, pick up your phone and dial my number. Right? Why play these games? What is it, so they don't look desperate or something? They have to PROVE their manliness. Whippdiddy doo! Waiting three days is retarded and it gets the guy no where because by the time he does call, who wants to be bothered???
I'm certainly not going to wait around all damn day for HIS call. I met Frank like three days ago, yeah, it was Saturday night. He hasn't called me. We text messaged eachother for like half a day but he still hasn't called me to make plans of any kind. What is wrong with him? I talk, I'm a good phone talker, I like talking, I love talking actually but he needs to call me. I'm not even going to answer the phone when he calls me. I'm going to make HIM wait now. See if he likes that. Yep. Watch, as soon as he calls, HA, let the phone ring until it reaches my voice-mail. Than we'll see if he leaves a mess-
(her phone rings and it's Frank)
Oh shit! It's HIM! It's Frank, Oh my God, Oh my God, what should I do? Should I pick up? Should I answer? Should I pick up?! Wait let him leave a message. No wait, I gotta get a grip, let him leave a message....
(pause)
I'm waiting for the little BEE BOO noise my phone makes when someone leaves a message. (beat) He didn't leave a message. DAMN IT! I should have picked up! Should I call him back? Should I call him? Should I call him back? Does it look bad to call him back if he didn't leave a message? I don't want to look needy. Cause I'm not, I'm not needy. Right? Right? I'm not the needy type right? Okay, so what should I do?
(her phone rings again)
Oh shit! It's Frank, it's Frank, it's Frank, it's Frank. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! Ummmmmmm, I gotta answer now right? Yeah, okay, I'm gonna, oh boy, gotta take a few deep breaths.....
(she takes a few deep breaths)
(she answers her phone)
Hellllllo!

- Money VS. Sex (serio-comedy) 1 Minute
Monologue Description: "Money VS. Sex" is about making life changing decisions.
Character Description: In this monologue, Ivanka, a young woman in her early twenties, talks to her therapist about her struggles between money and passion.
IVANKA:
NOTHING turns me on more than a man with a broad chest and large biceps. Sometimes I'll catch myself staring at construction workers. I love seeing a man full of sweat and anger. You won't get that with suit and tie guys, which is what my family prefers me to be with.
(sighs)
But how can I have what I desire? I come from a very wealthy family. You know this. If I were to ever take a construction worker home as my boyfriend, mom and dad would have my head. That's not to say that the Penthouse on Park Avenue hasn't been used from time to time.
(she smiles)
I'm simply saying that if I chose to have a more meaningful relationship with one of these men, my family would highly disapprove. Disapprove to the point of taking away my family privileges. Credit cards, Penthouses, Private Jets, Jewelry, Mansions in the Hamptons, Miami, Hawaii -- all gone.
Money is more important than that.

- Monologue Description: “Color & Style” is about having a bad hair day.
Character Description: In this monologue, Ziggy complains to her girlfriends about how horrible her hair looks because of the saloon she went to.
ZIGGY:
I told the bitch I wanted it to look EXACTLY like Kate Hudson. I wanted the sweeping blonde highlights added within a soft golden base. A real natural look! Instead, she gives me more of a Jennifer Aniston sun kissed highlights look. No!!! I didn’t want this, I feel like Mischa Bartons soft color with a natural finish or Scarlet Johansson when she had those wispy bangs or Jessica Alba when she had the lightened frost look. No! No! No!
I wanted Kate Hudson! Pathetic. They don’t know what they are doing in that place. I’ve gone there because EVERYBODY goes there and I look terrible. Look at me! A complete wreck. My hair doesn’t swoop at the sides towards the center, it swoops over to one side!
I don’t even come close to looking Classic, Cute, Sultry, Glamorous or Stylish. I feel like this is a cruel joke.
Now I have to figure out how to shorten my hair and wear it differently because of the cut I was given. I’m thinking something shorter. Something like a Comb and Go cut. OH! Maybe Rachel Bilson who has the unmistakable 60’s feel. She pulls it off, I could too. OR, maybe I should just wear my hair up. What do you think? Up? Up? Up? Sarah Michelle Gellar uses a skinny headband or Jessica Simpsons bigger head band. There are tons of cute colors and patterns. I could go for the Paris Hilton look with the adorable bow for the female touch.
Hmmmm. That sounds nice. Something not to bold!
