Question: Does anybody know of a good film monologue for a 13 years old girl!?
This summer, I was accepted at the Atlantic Acting School and part of my homework is to get 3 monologues!.(one from a film, two from plays)

I know I will be getting one monologue from Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind!. However, does anybody know of good monologues from a play and/or film!?!?!? please help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is from the play SWIMMERS by Clem Martini!. If you cut out Lyle's lines it becomes a great monologue!.

I made this place in my dreams, It started off as just a lakey-kind of thing, You know, water!. But I kind of pushed it out further and further!. And invented things!. I invented the waves!. Great stuff, eh!? Yeah at first it was just flat, like a pool, but I thought, “Why not waves!?” and there they were!. And I made it bigger!. And now it’s stared to do things on it’s own!. There are fish here now, and I can’t have had anything to do with them because I don’t know anything about fish!. And they are really great! All different colors, thousands of them in what-d-ya-call-em!? Schools!. Whoooosh! Just like a rainbow in front of you!. Isn’t that wonderful!?
(Lyle: Well!. It’s pretty weird!.)
Have you noticed that you don’t get tired!? That’s another thing this place invented!. You can swim for hours and not feel it at all!. I know!. I’ve done it!. Aren’t you excited!? You’re the only other person who knows anything about it!.
(Lyle: Yeah!. Thanks!. It’s…quite something!. How’d you get me here anyway!?)
I called you, and you came!. I’d been thinking about doing it for a while actually!. I called you here a while ago, but you took off before I could get hold of you!. I knew if I called again, you’d come back though!. It’s because you like swimming!. You know!? Like it!. More than the contests and competitions and all!. You know!?
(!. !. !.)
I don’t even think there’s a bottom to this, Lyle!.
(Lyle: No bottom!?)
[I don’t think so!.] I’ve never seen any!. I’ve tried diving, and you can dive an awful long way here, and there wasn’t any that I could see!. Just water, straight down!. For miles, maybe hundreds of miles!. I don’t know!. Maybe it’s just water forever!.

Wednesday Addams:
Wait, we can not break bread with you!. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours!. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations!. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs!. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf!. My people will have pain and degradation!. Your people will have stick shifts!. The gods of my tribe have spoken!. They said do not trust the pilgrims!. And especially do not trust Sarah Miller!. For all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground!.

Sam:
No, you listen!. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were!. I never pretended to be somebody else!. It's been me all along!. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody!. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay!? I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are!. I was!. But not anymore!. And the thing is, I don't care what people think about me!.!.!. because I believe in myself!. And I know that things are gonna be okay!. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college!.!.!. it's you that I feel sorry for!. (pause) I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but, I can't wait for him!.!.!. because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought!. Useless and disappointing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i really dont know a good film so i made you a poem:

When I look into your eye’s I am left breathless!.
For I see a prism of life!.
I see in your eye’s the past!.
The lost years of joy!.
Days yearning to relive!.
I see in your eye’s the present!.
The comfort you give to me!.
The feeling of bliss that washes over me when I look upon you!.
I see in your eye’s the future!.
The hope of happier days to come!.
Knowing a life’s search is fulfilled!.
When I look into your eye’s I am left breathless!.
For never have I seen anything as beautiful as you!.
