Monologue Mania Day # 154 by Janet S. Tiger July 16, 2014
Too Late

(A man races up, out of breath. He is carrying flowers that look a bit blown. He screeches to a halt and looks at his watch. He is dressed in clothes that suggest a pre-cell phone era.)
She can't complain this time! I am here two minutes early! Ha! And she always says that she gets here fifteen minutes early!
(Thinks)
Since I am always late, I assumed she was telling the truth about being early, but now I see......I guess I can't trust her. Oh, my God! What else does she lie about? And how long has this been going on? I mean, we've been going out now for almost a year! How many times was she not here fifteen minutes early?
(He takes out his watch and makes some calculations.)
That must be ......that's a lot of lying....possible lying......trust....what a thing to wonder about after all these months! And she's always riding my ass about trust!
Am I glad I got this new watch so I could be early!
(Looks at his watch again)
Boy, this watch is pretty amazing. I mean it can keep phone numbers and my appointments and there's an alarm.....what'll they think of next?
(Scratches his head, starts to get antsy)
But what if she always was telling the truth....and this time, she's late because something happened......my God, I hope she's ok.....
(Looking around, starting to get worried)
I mean, she's a great girl, and she actually likes me, even if I am late all the time....a lotta girls get annoyed with that....Most girls get annoyed with that.......
(Looks up at the street sign)
Fifth and C......
(Looks at the watch)
That's where we agreed to meet....
(Squints at the watch)
Wait a minute......is that Fifth and C....or is it....Fifth and ......oh, no! It's Fifth and G! G GGGG!
Gee I'm gonna be late!
(He starts to run off, stops, looks at the watch.)
Maybe one day, they'll put a phone in it! (Thinks) Nah....that's just on TV.......
(He runs off.....but even when he gets a phone- in 30 years - he's still gonna be late!)
