Absolute Monologue from The Rivals

From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

male · sarcastic · 54 sec

I am entirely at your disposal, sir: if you should think of addressing Miss Languish yourself, I suppose you would have me marry the aunt; or if you should change your mind, and take the old lady--'tis the same to me--I'll marry the niece. Sir ANTHONY Upon my word, Jack, thou'rt either a very great hypocrite, or--but, come, I know your indifference on such a subject must be all a lie--I'm sure it must--come, now--damn your demure face!--come, confess Jack--you have been lying, ha'n't you? You have been playing the hypocrite, hey!--I'll never forgive you, if you ha'n't been lying and playing the hypocrite.
