Best monologue I've read in ages and the best monologue that hasn't been used professionally in a book, play or movie. Grats.WanderFreak said:Shall we begin?
WanderFreak said:There was a time when I would have fallen long before this point. Where the right minds would have known of the threat as it arose. Common sense, uniting together those who would put aside their differences to fight a common enemy. History repeats itself, and yet every time we follow it blindly. Never once thinking "Stop, wait, slow down." No. Instead we entrust our future into the hands of those who say continue on. And yet we rely on critics to tell us what movies to watch. Designers to tell us what clothes to wear. In these irrelevant individuals we place our lives, and in doing so we allow ourselves to be led along. Fed from the trough of ignorance, blissfully unaware that our very existence is a crime against the world we occupy without right or just cause. There was a time when we would look upon people like these in disgust. As the dregs of society.
But then there came the modern era. An era of diluted blood, where the lowest common denominator was not an insult but a badge. A mark of honor, worn with pride and distinction, were such words known to these people. When the masses would bark like mindless dogs, hating something not because they knew why but because someone told them to. And later that same day, they would turn around and support the very thing they hate with all their might. Such idiocy, such blind devotion to maintaining the status quo at the expense of their own individuality, allowed for the likes of me to work to such a complete degree. It was almost poetic, really, watching as society crumbled not from bombs or bullets, but from its own desire to further its own sense of self.
Where there was once innovation and genius, now there was only an empty void. Goals of advancing science and technology for the better of humanity replaced with making cell phones smaller, and creating new ways to listen to the same song from twenty artists. And we say "Oh boo hoo, to the starving" as we listen to them, throwing our money at their feet. "Boo hoo to the dying" we say, before turning the channel. A race of hypocrites, blind fools. We care only of our own bubble, that which exists in front of us. As a child knows nothing beyond the obsession of everything he sees, so too did we devolve into a state of utter self obsession.
Before long the mindless drones that constituted the masses of humanity devolved to such a point one could hardly tell them apart from the cattle they consumed in the fast food restaurant on every corner. Occasionally sipping from their coffee, utterly oblivious to the world beyond their block. Beyond their commute to a job they hated. Spending their days in malls filled with hundreds of stores selling the same clothes, thinking to themselves that they were doing something important with their lives.
And yet, here we are now. I have ascended to this place not through acts of violence, but acts of intelligence. I have sidestepped the debris of the former world, hurdling over those who fell attempting to maintain it. And you would kill me? For what? For attempting to bring order to the chaos? You, with your Mac Book Pro, and your Sony Ericsson, and your designer pants and jacket. You defend a world that has no place being. Kill me, and what do you do? You admit that stupidity is law. You admit that you are better off blindly following those who would use you for your own purpose. You would admit that I was right from the beginning. So kill me, it will not matter. I will be no villain, and you no hero. Tomorrow the world shall continue on oblivious, and we will be lost to time.

Shall we begin?
Bravo chaps. Bloody good show!Riobux said:Best monologue I've read in ages and the best monologue that hasn't been used professionally in a book, play or movie. Grats.
Well, I had a swing myself.
*Claps slowly with legs crossed on a chair*
"Right on cue."
*Stops clapping and casually stands up*.
"What you see before you is not so much a monster but simply a man. The average layman will think about me until his dying breath as though I was born evil and had evil intentions from the start, an insult and an example of the tyranny of man. The psychologists will use me as an example of nature and nurture. Did I, and the corpses of who were once men, naturally become the being that is in front of you or was I raised in such a way to develop the view points I have? Why did people behave as they will? They'll cite Zimbardo and Milgram as reasons, but they couldn't be more wrong. The minions you have slain and the guards you have dispatched weren't forced into a situation that demanded them to conform and obey, but rather given the free will to be part of us or part of the crowd. Naturally, they joined, out of just a sense of belonging. As we approach a more individualistic society, are we not losing our heart in everything we believe in. Are we not becoming more hollow and more materialistic? Are we not laying open the chance for a group like mine that all we ask is obedience and conformity and they can finally have a sense of belonging to something more deeper than wealth and property?"
*Starts pacing*.
"Sociologists will use my methods as an example of everything wrong about men in power. Marxists will use me as the personification of the ruling class while the radical feminists will cite me as the best example of men dominating the females. This is despite my collection of minions and guardsmen being male, female, working class or upper class, a whole multitude of different coloured skin and all with different view points on different theories. You don't need to sell your soul to get into this club. This isn't hell you know. All we ask is to accept one ideology, and that is we're doing this for the good of society.
As long as time goes on, people like you, the heroes, will need a bad guy to fight. Someone to point the finger and say ?that's him! He did it!?. There will always be bad guys and bad men. There will always be terrorists. There will always be groups of people killing innocent people for wealth. For your society, the good people of your city, to become collective; to come together and be united under a common hate, because there is no such thing as a common love to be united under, there must be a bad guy that stands out. In the past, there was ideologies but they created fear. The fear that no matter what you could do, you could never crush them out completely and anyone could turn into one. Including your children, your siblings and even your parents. Your friends could come to school one day believing in the ideology one day and the previous day was opposed to it. At least with me, there is a tangible figure. Something people can point at and say ?if this guy was killed, we'd save so much lives?. So unlike ideologies, while I am somewhat fear inducing, I'm also uniting people.
That is the ideology that I asked my people to accept and the only requirement they needed. Some believed in it passionately, almost as much as I do. That we are a necessary evil to allow society to function and the good to prevail. Some didn't care and just pursued their personal goals like money, fame and fun. Others who tried to join didn't agree with the ideology and, naturally, were shot out back. The kids you found every so often at the bottom of a river or shot in the woods, they were the people who wanted the cities you cherish to burn.
When I'm gone though, and I can tell I wouldn't be leaving this place alive, know that all the good I achieved and the good intentions I had in my state of lawful evil, know that I wouldn't ever be thanked. We didn't do this with the knowledge that we'd be praised, but so people like you would be. We didn't murder those people you're here to avenge for personal enjoyment, but as a reminder to keep together and stay united. Not to mention, what is a hero without a villain and with me gone, all you'll have is random ideologies to attack and chaos. Blood, fire and chaos."
*Stops pacing, turns to the heroes and removes handgun from holster.*
"So let's make this a battle to remember and one that will go down in history."

You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

I hope so, cause I'm starting a cookie collection.
I think it's Megadeth. I could be wrong though.
Am I wrong? I suppose I could check Google.
But then that would be cheating.
I'm so tired to check anyway.
Screw it, do I get a cookie or not?
