Monologue

Laura Monologue from The Machine

From The Machine by Upton Sinclair

female · defiant · 45 sec

You compelled Grimes to do this thing... you can compel him to undo it! (HEGAN: But, my dear, it would ruin me!) If you do what I ask you to do, ruin will not matter. (HEGAN: What do you ask me?) I wish you to stop this mad career... to give up this money game... to drop it utterly! To stop selling stocks and manipulating markets; to stop buying politicians and franchises... to sell out everything... to withdraw. I want you to do it now... today... this very hour!
