Terry Tate Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've spent 20 minutes searching for that monologue because when I saw this thread, this was the first thing I thought of. His total time in that movie lasted 10 minutes, and yet it was one of the best scenes in the movie bar none. Too bad I can't find it because the steak knives bit was great. 264236[/snapback] As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Very cool list of monologues on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle Hargraves Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Now is this the kind of retard that drools and rubs #### in his hair and all that, 'cause I have trouble eatin' around that kind of thing. Just like I am about antique furniture and midgets. I can't so much as drink a glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture. Same thing with a droolin' retard.

brihs2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks for that. A great, great scene from a very underrated flick. 264526[/snapback] Used that scene in a presentation for a Business Management class. Had the entire class roaring. What a great cast and great screenplay by Mamet. I think salaries of the stud actors of today have gotten too high to ever have an ensemble class like that on the stage at once. Pacino, Lemmon, Arkin, Baldwin, Spacey, Harris; never again will there be such a great cast all used to their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 My favorites come from the Outlaw Josie Wales. There are several good lines in that movie but the best is here. Josie and Chief Ten Bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I agree with the monologues by Alec Baldwin in "Glengarry Glen Ross" & George C.Scott in "Patton". Those are both outstanding. One of my favorites and one of the most chilling is Kevin Spacey's monologue as John Doe in "Se7en". The segment when Mills(Brad Pitt) & Somerset(Morgan Freeman) are escorting him to the final two victims. The dialogue by these three actors is fantastic, even though Freeman's lines are sparse in this segment it is still an unforgettable scene. Here's the dialogue picked up from when Somerset question's him about the victim's he's killed........ Doe: I wo'nt deny my own personal desire. To turn each sin aginst the sinner. Mills: Wait a minute, I thought all you did was kill innocent people? Doe: Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man. A disgusting man, who could barely stand up! A man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him! A man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you would'nt be able to finish your meal! And after him I picked the lawyer, and you both must have secretly been thanking me for that one! This is a man, who dedicated his life to making money, by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the street! Mills: Murderers... Doe: A woman.... Mills: Murderers, John like yourself! Doe: A WOMAN, so ugly on the inside that she could'nt bare to go on living if she could'nt be beautiful on the outside! A drug dealer, a drug dealing-PEDERAST actually! And let's not forget the disease spreading WHORE! Only in a world this sh!tty, could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face! But thats the point, we see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. (Pauses) Well not anymore. I'm setting the example. And what i've done is goinna be puzzled over, and studied, and followed, forever. A very eerie monologue by Spacey, and definitely one of the best.
