Monologue Text
He’s not worth it love. He’d stand there and watch you do it, and not raise a finger. Look at him. You’re not the great romantic lover are you? You’re a bit of a twat. Let me give you some advice. Men, they’ll do anything to get you into bed. Lie, cheat, buy you a bed. And the tragedy is once they’ve had you, they’ll never want you quite as much ever again. (Aside.) Don’t take notes girls, there’s a handout at the end. [...] You want to watch your tongue young man, slagging us women off. It’s 1963, there’s a revolution coming. I predict in twenty years’ time there’ll be a woman in ten Downing Street, yeah, and she won’t be doing the washing up. Then you’ll see exactly what women can do. You’ll see a more just and fair society. The feminine voice of compassion for the poor will be the guiding principle of government, and there’ll be an end to foreign wars.
