Monologue-Lily

Front 1

BEGINING

Back 1

Yeah, I know how group works. This isn’t my first time in the “5 star hotel” known as the Dallas Loony Bin.

Front 2

(It's not a loony bin, You're not crazy. You just need help. Etc)

Back 2

It’s a looney bin. Anyway, My name is Lily I-Can’t-Tell-You-My-Last-Name-Because-We-Can’t-Talk-To-Each-Other-Once-We-Leave. I am 15 years old, and I’m here for a laundry list of reasons including stupidity.

Front 3

(What happened after you left?)

Back 3

Well, after I left the last time, I went trick or treating with my brother. Wait that was after the first time I went here. I don’t know, they are all blurring together.

Front 4

(What will you change when you leave here?)

Back 4

What will I change when I leave here?! I’m getting the hell out of my parent’s place.

Front 5

(You've been saying that for 3 months.)

Back 5

I've been saying it for longer than that!

Front 6

(What happened that got you back here?)

Back 6

I already said that because I am here for stupidity. I was stupid, I cut without locking the door. Stupid. I forgot the voices weren't real. Stupid.

Front 7

(Do you think you have problems with your self-esteem?)

Back 7

Sure, self esteem problems, call it what you want. (Pause) I mean, I kinda agree. But it’s not a big problem.

Front 8

(What IS a big problem to you?)

Back 8

Well, I think the fact that my parents don't pick me up from school is a problem.

Front 9

(Why don't they pick you up? How do you get home?)

Back 9

Because they don’t give half a shiit! I usually get a ride from a friend, but some days I stay at her house, they don't call and ask where I am! They wouldn't care if I was kidnapped or killed!

Front 10

(What do you think you need to get better?)

Back 10

I think it would help if you just let me out of here and I promise I’ll be good.

Front 11

(You've said that before.)

Back 11

I know that I've said that before,but this time, I’m more mature. This time, I won’t be in that situation. This time, I mean it.
