Writing a monologue

Thats where the challange is. Any jackass can string a few words together, bastardize the english language and make a script.
Steven
I told you it was a good movie
Harris
I refuse to admit that this was worth watching.
Steven
But it looked so good
Harris
But the writing was horible... who would say that shit... Blue-haha is not even a word
Steven
Nurr!

Look! I just did it my self. Unfortunatly it takes a genious to take those musings and roll it into one long and deeply personal confession about humanity. Thats what a good monologue should do, it should express something to an audience that couldn't be said in a mere 10 words. Observe!
Steven
See, I told you that was a good movie.
Harris
What are you talking about. That movie was so contrived. It sounded like that author just wanted us to belive that he was making a new and pithy point about society, when really he was looking for a good excusse to show some skin on camera. Don't try to argue that the nudity enhanced the films meaning in any way. The nude scene could have been completely removed from this slug fest and I would still think that this movie was a waste of a budget... hell even I could write better dialague than that. who would say that shit... Blue-haha is not even a word.
Steven
Nurr!
Harris
Fuck you.
You see the difference? No! Ofcourse you wouldn't. You wouldn't know good writing if it bit you on the ass... but then again if good writing bit you on the ass, its more likly that it was a dog and not good writing.
Whats the point you ask? There is no point, and that my friend is the point.
