You Should Leave Now

-- This is a monologue for Leann.  Hopefully it'll be opening a show fairly soon. --

"You Should Leave Now"

Ladies and gentlemen
Please turn off your cell phones
Please notice the exits
I'm not going to tell you where they are
In the event of an emergency

THERE ARE A MILLION FUCKING DOORS
IN THIS BUILDING

Keep running out of them
Until you feel cool air
And then you're probably fine

A few things you should hear
Before we begin

Fuck you
Fuck off
Fuck your mother

Did that offend you?
Then you should leave now

Penis
Penis
Penis

We don't actually say penis
We say cock
We say dick
We say monkey wrench
We do not say penis

If penis offended you
Don't worry
But if any of the other ones did
You should leave now

If seeing me kiss a boy
Would turn you off
Then stick around
I don't kiss anyone
Not onstage anyway
Not if I'm not getting paid
And my name isn't on the poster

If seeing a boy kiss a boy
Would turn you off
You should leave now

If you're extremely religious
Leave now
If you're mildly religious
Leave now
If you went to church once
And you thought some it
Wasn't so bad

Leave now
Leave now
Leave now

If you don't like hookers
Leave now
If you don't like vegetable potstickers
Leave now
If you don't like blowjobs or vanilla ice cream
Leave now

Every theater in town
Is begging you to come in
We're telling you to take a hike
If and only if you don't want to be here

We only want willing audience members
Lovely, happy people
Who will laugh at our jokes
Loudly
Who will cry at the sad parts
And who will compliment us afterwards

If you're not one of those people
Leave now
There's a lovely production of Godspell
Going on somewhere
That I'm sure you could see

If you're looking for singing
Leave now
You don't want to hear our singing
Trust me

If you're looking for sets
Leave now
If you're looking for costumes
Leave now
If you're looking for Cate Blanchett
I shot her and ate her children

Hahahaha

Just kidding
But leave
No kidding
Leave now

No, we won't give you back your money
But we have candy canes
And you can have as many
As you want

Okay
I'm going to toss out the 'c' word
Are you ready?
Here it goes

. . . . .

Just kidding
We don't like that word either

Anyway
Let the trainwreck begin

Turn on the strobe lights
Blast the loud music
Bring out the goat
Start up the fog machine

And get ready
To burn every bridge

Oh
And if you haven't already
You should leave now
