Dramatic Monologue Of: Sean

Being best friends
with Andy is great.
He's a cool guy.
His values on the other hand
are a little messed up.
His parents don't care much
so he always parties.
He usually does this
instead of trying to raise
his C average.
He hangs around certain people:
the ones who drink
and get drunk at parties
and end up regretting
that night's decisions.
As far as I know,
he's not involved
with alcohol.
He's vulnerable to it though,
and that's what worries me.
As for him and girls,
wow. Him and girls.
I'm surprised he can find
a different girl every week
that hasn't dated him
at least once before.
He treats women
With so little respect
It's almost unnerving.
He goes through them so
fast. That's what I
really don;t like about him:
he lacks respect.
His parents and teachers
have never heard
"please" or "thank you" from him.
He doesn't know how
to treat people right
And I hate it.
But don't tell him that.
What he really doesn't want
you to know, however
is a bigger secret.
He pulls of this facade
of a tough player
But do tough players
read romantic novels?
Cry at romantic movies?
No. But he does.
He's actually a big sap
for soaps.
That's the only reason
I'm still friends with the guy;
he actually has a human side.
A somewhat creepy
human side, but oh well.
Otherwise, I would never
be caught hanging out
with the freak. But I
have his secret.
His lovey-dovey fall-hard
romantic secret.
He thinks if he crosses me,
I'll tell everyone
and ruin the only
untarnished thing in his life:
his reputation.
I wouldn't tell.
Or would I?
After all, I do hate his
disrespectful side.
I'll wait and see
how far he goes
when he does cross me,
Then I'll decide whether
to reveal the reason
Why I hang out with this
Semi-human.
I don't know...
maybe I won't.
You don't seem at all
bothered by his secret.
So what if I told you
it was mine?
For Andy, his facade
is no fake thing.
It's just him, though
I still hate his lack of
respect. But I
am the one with the secret.
I'm no player, of course.
That's just wrong.
But I'm the fall-hard
romantic here.
Yes, I've seen the "Notebook"
and read the "Notebook".
I've read all of the "Twilight"
series, the first book twice,
and for the love, not the vampires.
I watch soap operas
like "General Hospital",
and before, I wasn't proud.
That's why I said this
was Andy's problem.
To see your reaction,
to judge whether I could
tell you
what little rumor I've
been hiding.
Really though, those movies
get to me, man.
Whenever they can't be
together, I just break down.
It's hard not to.
It's just so sad.
Two people deserve to be
with each other, and they just
can't.
I cry every time.
No one should know this.
I shouldn't be telling you.
Only Andy knows, and he
just holds back laughter.
I needed to tell somebody else.
I know it's not
that big of a deal.
I don't wax my eyebrows
and get manicures
like other guys.
People would just never
look at me the same.
Sure, I'm proud.
I love all that
lovey-dovey stuff
With every part of my being.
But I'm not that proud.
Truth is, I'm in love.
With Andy.
You don't have to hide
your surprise.
I understand.
I can't help it though,
even though I hate his disrespect.
Love is putting up with the
bad things about the other person.
And that's what I've been doing.
He doesn't know, of course!
I would never tell him soon.
I'm guessing he has his suspicions
but he never states them.
It's so hard,
unrequited love
So hard to go on.
I will survive!
Like Rachael McAdams,
she could not tell
the man she loved
that she loved him
because she was with someone else.
Unlike her, I'm not with anyone else
unless fear and shame
are people.
Dude, just don't tell anyone.
I WILL murder you.
Or I could hire somebody.
Remember the possibilities.
I trust you though.
Maybe.
Just please don't even HINT
anything whatsoever.
Remember, I will beat you.
My love for Andy
is no gossip subject.
Plus, I don't want you to
tell him first.
I leave this conversation
as a man.
And I'll tell him
I love him myself.
