Does anyone have a copy of an Antigone Monologue where she talks about "Und

Question:There is this monologue from the play Antigone where she talks about "Understanding." I don't rememer the whole thing, but I remember the last line is "Understand? I don't want to understand. Not now."
I did it a couple years ago for an audition and I was being really bad and lost it! :( But it would be perfect for the show I'm auditioning for now. Does anyone else have it? If so, could you post it?

Is this it? It took me a while to find it (find my book and then find the peice) and type it up.... This is from Jean Anouilh's Antigone, not Sophocles'. I hope this helps.

ANTIGONE:
Understand! The first word I ever heard out of any of you was that word "understand." Why didn't I "understand" that I must not play with water - cold, black, beautiful flowing water - because I'd spill it on the palace tiles. Or with earth, because earth dirties a little girl's frock. Why didn't I "understand" that nice children don't eat out of every dish at once; or give everything in their pockets to beggars; or run in the wind so fast that they fall down; or ask for a drink when they're perspiring; or want to go swimming when it's either too early or too late, merely because they happen to feel like swimming. Understand! I don't want to understand. There'll be time enough to understand when I'm old... If I ever *am* old. But not now.
