The art of the pivot or "when life gives you lemons" monologue as performed by Roderick Usher - The Fall of the House of Usher, episode 3 "Murder in the Rue Morgue"
"One thing I tried to teach them, the art of the pivot. When life hands you lemons... first you roll out a multimedia campaign to convince people lemons are incredibly scarce, which only works if you stockpile lemons, control the supply, then a... A media blitz. Lemon is the only way to say "I love you," the must-have accessory for engagements or anniversaries. Roses are out, lemons are in. Billboards that say she won't have sex with you unless you got lemons. You cut De Beers in on it. Limited edition lemon bracelets, yellow diamonds called lemon drops. You get Apple to call their new operating system OS-Lemón. A little accent over the "o".
You charge 40% more for organic lemons, 50% more for conflict-free lemons. You pack the Capitol with lemon lobbyists, you get a Kardashian to suck a lemon wedge in a leaked sex tape. Timothée Chalamet wears lemon shoes at Cannes. Get a hashtag campaign. Something isn't cool or tight or awesome, no, it's lemon. Did you see that movie? Did you go to that concert? It was effing lemon. Billie Eilish, OMG, hashtag... lemon. You get Dr. Oz to recommend four lemons a day and a lemon suppository supplement to get rid of toxins 'cause there is nothing scarier than toxins. Then you patent the seeds. You write a line of genetic code that makes lemons look just a little more like tits and you get a gene patent for the tit-lemon dna sequence, you cross pollinate, you get those seeds circulating in the wild, and then you sue the farmers for copyright infringement when that genetic code shows up on their land.
Sit back, rake in the millions, and then, when you're done, and you've sold your lem-pire for a few billion dollars, then and only then, you make some fucking lemonade."

I have memorised so many pointless Starkid things:
“But that didn’t stop me from doing what needed to be done.” “Wait, you…” “Yeah, dude, remember me?” “Wait, you’re the guy who killed my parents! Where have you been, man?” “In your reflection, I live here…” “No, I live here…” “No, you’re just squatting here!” “Does that mean… I killed my parents? But I didn’t want them to die…” “Who are you kidding? You wished for it every goddamn day of your life. They were gonna kick you out of the house.” “They were, weren’t they?” “Make you get a job.” “I don’t want one of those…” “So that’s why they had to die!” “I suppose I should be thanking you…” “Yeah I THINK a thank you’s in order!”
“Many years ago, I took my finger… and I pushed in my penis… and it hasn’t come out since… I will now hear from the court.”
“Oh hey Greg, I’m swamped… with BUSINESS. Stocks, bonds, golden parachutes… do you remember those days on the football field, Greg? Last week feels like ages ago… what, today, after work? With Mark, and Stu, and Steve, and Leighton, and Chad? Five o’clock, I’ll see you then Greg, I’ll see you then!”
None of these will ever help me but I can monologue at a moment’s notice.

Prompt: 178
"Life is easily spent when one possesses enough of it. Take a general. Give them a few good men and they value their. The general's decisions are made with caution. Give that same general a thousand men, a hundred thousand men, and see how quickly it takes them to make the decision that the numbers allow them to make sacrifices. To them, they are simply numbers on a page. They are not people."

Lex's monologue from Black Friday
Another dramatic Starkid monologue that I've never seen typed up for if anyone needs a dramatic monologue :)
LEX: Well, let me tell you something I know! I’ve been working at Toy Zone since I was sixteen. I know what kids are like. When that Wiggly campaign came out, you know how many kids I got askin’ about it? None! Think about that line you stood in this morning, did you see a single kid there? It’s Thanksgiving break.
The thing about Wiggly that nobody’s talkin’ about is, kids don’t want that piece of shit! They’re all into Fortnite, dude! I mean, my sister Hannah couldn’t get further away from that thing. Yeah, me and Ethan wanted a doll- to sell! Whatever spell that doll casts, it doesn’t work on kids. And- and I think I know why.
Uh, Mr. Houston, I know your wife died, and you’re trying real hard to make up for it. But that’s something you want, not your son. You think Wiggly can fix this hole, but he can’t, it’s a trick. That’s how he works, he promises to fix all of the holes but he doesn’t. And that's why it works on adults.
Because you guys have more holes, you need more things and you need it harder. You gotta worry about your loveless marriage, or the kids that are gonna hate you, or your endless mortgage. I mean, you’re like forty, you probably think your life is over! I don’t, I’m gonna be an actress!
Do you get what I’m sayin’, Mr. Houston? Wiggly is a fucking lie, and I think you know it. But I think you’re scared, because if he’s not the answer, then what is?
If anyone would like more monologues, comment or message me and I'll type them out for you :)

nearly halfway thru shakespeare's plays and i've been mainly saving the histories for last but recently watched david tennant's richard ii and really recommend it for fans of him (as well as hamlet, but that's more well known). he decided to play him very queerly and androgynously, and he wears this amazing long hair with flowing fabrics. there are some good monologues from the queen and others about sorrow - i suggest anyone ctrl+f the word "sorrow" and read those bits if nothing else - & there are some surprisingly progressive speeches from the king himself.
for percy shelley fans like myself, i must say that i knew shelley was fond of reciting the words "let us sit upon the ground / and tell sad stories of the death of kings," to his friends, a reference that not everyone would really get but he loved too much to care. but it wasn't until tennant spoke those words -- and i didn't even know that line was from this play, but as soon as i heard them -- that i felt their power, the same power shelley must have felt if he ever saw it live, or the power he must have sensed when he read it. i got so excited when i recognized those words. then i realized why that became one of his favorite monologues ever. its such a fiery shelleyan monologue and tennant did it real justice - for me it was the highlight.

“Myself. My self.
That’s the problem. That’s the whole problem with the whole thing. That word, “self.” Thats not the word. That’s not right, that isn’t…How did I forget that? When did I forget that?
The body stops a cell at a time, but the brain keeps firing those neurons.
Little lightning bolts, like fireworks inside and I thought I’d despair or feel afraid, but I don’t feel any of that. None of it. Because I’m too busy. I’m too busy in the moment. Remembering. Of course. I remember that every atom in my body was forged in a star.
This matter, this body is mostly empty space after all, and solid matter? It’s just energy vibrating very slowly why there is no me. There never was.
The electrons of my body mingle and dance with the electrons of the ground below me and the air I’m no longer breathing. And I remember there is no point where any of that ends and I begin. I remember I am energy. Not memory. Not self. My name, my personality, my choices, all came after me.
I was before them and I will be after, and everything else is pictures, picked up along the way. Fleeting little dreamlets printed on the tissue of my dying brain.
And I am the lightning that jumps between. I am the energy firing the neurons, and I’m returning. Just by remembering, I’m returning home.
And it’s like a drop of water falling back into the ocean, of which it’s always been a part. All things… a part. You, me and my little girl, and my mother and my father, everyone’s who’s ever been, every plant, every animal, every atom, every start, every galaxy, all of it. More galaxies in the universe than grains of sand on the beach.
And that’s what we’re talking about when we say “God.”
The cosmos and its infinite dreams. We are the cosmos dreaming of itself. It’s simply a dream that I think is my life, every time. But I’ll forget this. I always do. I always forget my dreams.
But now, in this split-second, in the moment I remember, the instant I remember, I comprehend everything at once.
There is no time. There is no death. Life is a dream. It’s a wish. Made again and again and again and again and again and again and on into eternity. And I am all of it.
I am everything. I am all. I am that I am.”

“I finally understand.”
The villain’s villainous grin shifted to confusion.
“Oh? What do you understand?” The villain inquired. It seemed out of left field for the hero to say anything of the sort.
“I finally understand you, and myself. I understand why I have this burning drive to defeat you compared to all other foes I’ve faced.” The hero said as he took a few steps closer.
“Is that so? Is it because you know I’m the deadliest? I’m the most powerful? Is it because I am the only villain that has the power to beat you?”
“It’s because you and I are the same.” The hero answered.
The villain was taken aback by that. But quickly started to laugh.
“Me and you? You’re a goody two shoes! I’m not bound by such moral failings.”
“You are proud of your power. You are certain of your actions. You have a massive ego. You can’t handle when things don’t go your way.” The hero began.
“Well of course I’m proud of my power in the most powerful…”
“You are short tempered. You overestimate your own powers, you are selfish. You only think about how to win. All flaws that I’ve experienced. I lose sight of what’s truly important. I get so caught up on what I think is best that I dismiss others. If I let my own ego swallow me up and gave into my temptations… I’d easily end up like you.”
The villain blinked in disbelief.
“Are you saying that you’re a better version of me?”
“I’m saying I could easily end up like you. And I hate that idea more than anything in the world.”
The villain growled.
“You think you compare to me! I’m your better in every category! I’m stronger! I’m smarter, I’m far more ruthless! If anything you are an inferior version of me! You WISH you could be me!”
The hero shakes his head.
“I would rather you killed me.”
The Villain felt rage burn inside him. Was he being Pitied? Mocked by the hero of All people!?
“I’ll grant you that wish.”
