Movie Monologues for Whatever Reason

In need of monologues for an acting class, auditions, a youtube video, or just anything? You've come to the right place! I post all sorts of monologues from movies I watch. A lot of these monologues and speeches are hard to find elsewhere on the internet. I'm still building my library, but give me time. It will get there. Until then. feel free to explore what I've got. DISCLAIMER: I HAVE WRITTEN EXACTLY ZERO OF THESE LINES. These are not mine, and are made for personal use. Auditions and whatnot.

Miracle on 34th Street: Kris Kringle

Kris Kringle (Richard Attenborough) is confronting Dorey Walker (Elizabeth Perkins) on her belief, or rather her disbelief, in Santa Claus.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not just a whimsical figure who wears a charming suit and affects a jolly demeanor, you know. I... I’m a symbol. I’m a symbol of the human ability to be able to suppress the selfish and hateful tendencies that rule the major part of our lives.

If you can’t believe, if you can’t accept anything on faith, then you are doomed for a life dominated by doubt.

I like you very much Mrs. Walker, you’re a fine woman, and you know? I think you’ll make an excellent test case for me, you and your daughter. If I can make you believe, then there’d be some hope for me. If I can’t... well I’m finished.

42: Branch Rickey

Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) asks Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) for the real reason why he was doing what he was doing: putting a black man in major league baseball. This is Rickey’s reply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this game. I love baseball. Given my whole life to it.

Forty-odd years ago, I was a player-coach at Ohio Wesleyan University, We had a Negro catcher. Best hitter on the team. Charlie Thomas. Fine young man.

Saw him laid low, broken, because of the color of his skin and I didn’t do enough to help. Told myself I did, but I didn’t. There was something unfair at the heart of the game I loved. And I ignored it.

But a time came when I could no longer do that. You. You let me love baseball again. Thank you.

Dakota Skye: Jonah

This is Jonah’s (Ian Nelson) way of telling his bestfriend’s girlfriend Dakota (Eileen April Boylan) all the things he can’t tell her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to tell you that I like you. But I can’t tell you that, can I?

I want to tell you to forget about him. He’s a great guy. The best. And he’s my brother in everything but blood and you two are good together, but I still want you to tell him to fuck off and to be with me. 

I want to tell you that since the moment I met you, I can’t even get your face out of my brain. But I can’t tell you that,

That all I want right now in the world is to take you away with me. No him. No here. No this. Just us. If just for a day, you know?

But I can’t tell you that. I mean, you can’t make me.

I mean, what kind of person would I be if I went and told you something like that?

Love the Coopers: Joe

Eleanor (Olivia Wilde) asked Joe (Jake Lacy) to pretend to be her boyfriend, and on the train to her parents’ house, they practice what they’re going to say about each other. This is Joe’s speech.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I saw her, I... didn’t believe in love at first sight. Thought it was bullshit. Then I saw this reckless girl who had forgotten how beautiful she was, and I thought, if I could wake up everyday and look into that face, I could get through anything. And you... were standing right next to her.

The Princess Diaries: Mia Thermopolis

This is Mia’s speech to everyone just as she’s about to announce her decision to become the Princess of Genovia or not

Hi, um... hello. I'm Mia. Um, it's stopped raining! I'm really no good at speech-making. Normally I get so nervous that I faint or run away, or sometimes I even get sick. But you really didn't need to know that... But I'm not so afraid anymore. See, my father helped me.

Earlier this evening had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother 0helped me, by telling me it was ok, and by supporting me like she has for my entire life. But then I wondered how I'd feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, or would I feel sad? And then I realized how many stupid times a day I use the word 'I.' And probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's like seven billion other people out there on the planet, and... sorry, I'm going too fast. 

But then I thought, if I cared about the other seven billion out there, instead of just me, that's probably a much better use of my time.See, if i were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and the thoughts of people smarter than me would be much better heard, and just maybe those thoughts could be turned into actions. So this morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now I choose to be forevermore, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.
