Laura Monologue from The Machine

From The Machine by Upton Sinclair

female · anguished · 57 sec

You played it for me! And, oh! father! father!... Can't you see what that means to me? To realize that all my life has been based upon such things! Don't you see how I can't let it go on... how, if you refuse to do what I ask you to, it will be impossible for me to touch a dollar of your money? (HEGAN: Laura!) Just that, father! I should never again be able to face my conscience! (HEGAN: Listen to me, dear. You know that I have always meant to withdraw...) I know that. And that has been a confession! You know that you are wrecking your life-wrecking everything! And if you mean to stop, why not stop?
