The Star-Spangled Girl
by Neil Simon http://members.tripod.com/litagothic/girlmono.html BACK TO MONOLOGUES SOPHIE:
Mr. Cornell, I have tried to be neighborly, I have tried to be friendly,
and I have tried to be cordial...I don't know what it is that you're tryin'
to be. That first night I was appreciative that you carried mah trunk up
the stairs...The fact that it slipped and fell five flights and smashed
to pieces was not your fault...Ah didn't even mind that personal message
you painted on the stairs. Ah thought it was crazy, but sorta sweet. However,
things have now gone too far...Ah cannot accept gifts from a man Ah hardly
know...Especially canned goods. And Ah read your little note. Ah can guess
the gist of it even though Ah don't speak Italian. This has got to stop,
Mr. Cornell. Ah can do very well without you leavin' little chocolate-almond
Hershey bars in mah mailbox--they melted yesterday, and now Ah got three
gooey letters from home with nuts in 'em--and Ah can do without you sneakin'
into mah room after Ah go to work and paintin' mah balcony without tellin'
me about it. Ah stepped out there yesterday and mah slippers are still
glued to the floor. And Ah can do without you tying big bottles of eau
de cologne to mah cat's tail. The poor thing kept swishin' it yesterday
and nearly beat herself to death...And most of all, Ah can certainly do
without you watchin' me get on the bus every day through that high-powered
telescope. You got me so nervous the other day Ah got on the wrong bus.
In short, Mr. Cornell, and Ah don't want to have to say this again, leave
me ay-lone!
