Do you have any monologues for Jean from August: Osage County? x
Jean: Mom and Dad don’t mind.
From August: Osage County, by Tracy Letts.
JEAN. Mom and Dad don’t mind.You won’t get into trouble or anything.
I say they don’t mind.
I just mean they don’t mind that I smoke pot. Dad doesn’t. Mom kind of does. She thinks it’s bad for me. I think the real reason it bugs her is ‘cause Dad smokes pot, too, and she wishes he didn’t. Dad’s much cooler than Mom, really. Well, that’s not true. He’s just cooler in that way, I guess.
No, he’s not really cooler.
He’s fucking one of his students which is pretty uncool, if you ask me. Some people would think that’s cool, like those dicks hwo teach with him in the Humanities Department because they’re all fucking their students or wish they were fucking their students. “Lo-liii-ta.” I mean, I do'nt care and all, he can fuck whoever he wants and he’s a teacher and taht’s who teachers meet, students. He was just a turd the way he went about it and din’t give Mom a chance to respond or anything. What sucks now is that Mom’s watching me like a hawk, like, she’s afriad I’ll have some post-divorce freak-out and become some heroin addict or shoot everybody at school. Or God forbid, lose my virginity. I don’t know what it is about Dad splitting that put Mom on hymen patrol.
