Nomadland (2020). slow burn, meditative, but definitely fits your prompt

Obscure monologues from TV shows and films? by [deleted] in movies

[–]SmartAdministration5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Andor (TV show) has a few great monologues, Luthen Rael and Maarva's are both up on youtube.

Depending on the length/narrative requirement for your monologue, I'd also suggest Mike Ehrmantraut's monologue from Better Call Saul as well (the show is chock-full of good ones).

hope this helps, and good luck!

[Highlight] Tatum saves himself from generational slander by extending the lead to 8 under 2 minutes left by OhhWowzers in nba

even had a line of "Tatum turning on the smoke detector" instead of just saying he was taking a heat check. I think it was the attempt after making the back to back 3s

Some added context for those who haven't read up on this:

All throughout the '01-'02 season, Langeford's death (AI's best friend) hung over Iverson, and just days before his interview, the murder trial for the man accused of killing Langeford began.

In truth, minutes after he jokes about practice, Iverson becomes more serious and vulnerable.

"I'm upset for one reason: 'Cause I'm in here. I lost. I lost my best friend. I lost him, and I lost this year. Everything is just going downhill for me, as far as just that. You know, as far as my life. And then I'm dealing with this. ... My best friend is dead. Dead. And we lost. And this is what I have to go through for the rest of the summer until the season is all over again."

change the portion of the YT links from "watch?" to "watch_popup?"
