Hypatia Monologue from Misalliance

From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

female · romantic · 48 sec

Youll never forgive yourself if you dont. (PERCIVAL: Nonsense. Youre engaged to Ben. Ben's my friend. What do you take me for?) Ben's old. Ben was born old. Theyre all old here, except you and me and the man-woman or woman-man or whatever you call her that came with you. They never do anything: they only discuss whether what other people do is right. Come and give them something to discuss. (PERCIVAL: I will do nothing incorrect.) Oh, dont be afraid, little boy: youll get nothing but a kiss; and I'll fight like the devil to keep you from getting that. But we must play on the hill and race through the heather.
