Hagen Monologue from Prince Hagen

From Prince Hagen by Upton Sinclair

male · defiant · 50 sec

I wanted to watch them wriggle! I wanted to take them, one by one, and strip off their shams! Take that fellow Rutherford, the steel man! Or Plimpton, the coal baron, casting his eyes up to heaven, and singing psalms through his nose! The instant I laid eyes on that whining old hypocrite, I hated him; and I vowed I'd never rest again till I'd shown him as he is... a coward and a knave! And I tell you, Gerald, before I get through with him... Ah, there he is! (PLIM: Hello, Isman!) Come. (Draws back with GERALD.)
