Character: Libby

Type of Monologue: Seriocomic

Time: 1 minute

I can honestly believe whatever I want, Hoyt. You have no idea how powerful I actually am. I

can stay up for three days straight on nothing but whipped cream, coffee and sugar-free jello. Do

you know how many calories that is, Hoyt? I do. I know how many calories you can consume by

licking the back of a stamp. I also know how the French Revolution got so out of control and

why centrifugal force doesn’t actually exist. I know every students name at this school, what

their current GPA is, and what they eat for lunch each day. And I think about food almost every

moment of every day. So can you imagine how much more I would know if I never had to eat

again? No, of course you can’t because you’re not nearly as smart as me. I’m fine. I like being

liked. I want to be lighter. I want to be so light I could step into the air if I were ever in trouble

and fly away.
