MONOLOGUE: DOG ASSASSIN by Stephen A Schrum (Female, contemporary)

BOB makes some extra money killing noisy dogs for bothered neighbors. HE then meets AMBER, who – typically, as SHE does with every man – falls in love with HIM after one encounter. In this monologue, AMBER calls BOB and leaves a message on his answering machine.

AMBER: Hi Bob! Uh, I never know what to say on these things…I hope you don’t mind me calling you! Before I left this morning, I wrote your number down so I could call you and give you my number. Its really easy to remember: its 555followed by 4321. Its like a countdown before a blast-off, one of my ex-boyfriends used to say. And he was really into phone sex! Oh! I guess I shouldn’t talk about ex-boyfriends, should I? Ummmmm… Well, that’s my number: 555-4321. You wont forget it will you? I hope not. I really want you to call me. Last night was very special to me. I never met anyone like you. I feel your really sensitive and sweet, and I want to see you again. I loved how you washed my hair in the shower this morning! Even my hairdresser isn’t that gentle when he does it, and hes gay! Oh! I didn’t mean to suggest you were gay, I just think your really strong and exciting, too! So call me, ok? I hope Im not being too pushy, I know some guys don’t like that, but I really want to see you again. (Pause). Okay, I gotta go. Call me, please? You really made a difference in my life. Bye!
