Gloria Monologue from You Never Can Tell

From You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 37 sec

I obey nothing but my sense of what is right. I respect nothing that is not noble. That is my duty. As to affection, it is not within my control. I am not sure that I quite know what affection means. Excuse me: that is an uncivil question. I am speaking seriously to you; and I expect you to take me seriously. Can you not discuss this matter coolly and rationally?
