Yeah, this is a monologue I'm performing for Drama class. Though y'all might like to read it.

You stop that! Don't you ever talk to me that way again! I've tried to be patient and be nice, but I'm sick and tired of your talking as if you're the only person in the world! You're a great big grown-up man and you asked me to have an affair with you, remember? I was as nice to you as I could be for as long as I could be, and if that wasn't good enough then it's your fault, not mine. (to the audience) I'm tired of being the bad guy. Oh, you don't say anything, but I know that you all think I treated him mean. But you don't understand! I wasn't easy. I tried for months, oh God! For months, to shake loose. But he cried, and he sniveled. Oh, I got so fed up! But I didn't let on. I mean I think he's kind of - delicate, and I really didn't want to hurt him more than I had to, but I mean, really, a woman can only do so much! I did. I tried. But he was never happy, you know that? When he was with me he was always moaning about his wife. And I'll just bet that when he was with her he was moaning about me. I mean, what did he think it was going to be anyway, this affair he asked me to have, all Hollywood moonlight and no guilt? When I find a man I think is good I go and I get him and when I think he isn't good enough for me anymore, it's over. And what's wrong with that?
