You know, I’ve never read that before. That is some cold, cold shit.
What did I say? The Immortal Bard was the man!
No mention of Kefka from FFVI?! It’s a dialogue more than a monologue, but it was pretty badass.
“I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence!”
Francis Dolarhyde in Red Dragon:
The whole scene is worth a look (there’s a bit of gore and violence in the video).
Wow, I’ve gotta include one of my fav. villians and his AWESOME monologue. The Joker from the Film Dark Knight had so many great lines, but this scene was one of the BEST monologuing i’ve seen in a while…
**
The Joker:** [speaking to Two-Face] Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just do things. The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon’s got plans. You know, they’re schemers. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I’m not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know that I’m telling the truth.
It’s the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and uh, look where that got you. I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that like a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all, part of the plan. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!
[Joker hands Two-Face a gun and points it at himself]
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.
Nobody does villainous shit like Shakespeare. My favourite is from Titus Andronicus. Aaron the Moor is on the gallows, but ain’t going out like that: if he can piss enough people off, he can hopefully get a stay of execution long enough to plot his way out. And if not, these are going to be his last words to his captors…
Lucius:
Art thou not sorry for these heinous deeds?
Aaron:
Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day - and yet I think
Few come between the compass of my curse -
Wherein I did not some notorious ill,
As kill a man, or else devise his death;
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it;
Accuse some innocent and forswear myself;
Set deadly enmity between two friends;
Make poor men’s cattle break their necks;
Set fire on barns and haystacks in the night,
And bid the owners quench them with their tears.
Oft I have digged up dead men from their graves
And set them upright at their dear friend’s door,
Even when their sorrows almost was forgot,
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters
‘Let not your sorrows die though I am dead’.
But I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly,
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.
Lucius:
Bring down the devil, for he must not die
So sweet a death as hanging presently.
I always liked this one from Cruel Intentions:
Kathryn:
You were very much in love with her. And you’re still in love with her. But it amused me to make you ashamed of it. You gave up on the first person you ever loved because I threatened your reputation. Don’t you get it? You’re just a toy, Sebastian. A little toy I like to play with. And now you’ve completely blown it with her. I think it’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.
[drinks champagne]
Tastes good. So, I assume you’ve come here to make arrangements. But unfortunately, I don’t fuck losers.
From Babylon 5:
Good luck to you in your holy cause, Captain Sheridan.
May your choices have better results than mine - remembered not as a messenger.
Remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero, not even as Sebastian.
Remembered only…
…as Jack.
–Sebastion, Comes the Inquisitor
…In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Harry Lime, The Third Man
The exchange the player has with the Reaper in Mass Effect is pretty cool. Its not a straight monologue, but it is a very one sided exchange.
From the TV show “Angel”,I 've always loved enemy vampire Spike’s monologue in the season 1 episode, “In the Dark”. Spike is watching Angel rescue a damsel in distress, and mocking Angel as he does so:
“'How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing? (low voice) No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I’m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. (Rachel steps closer to Angel, and Angel steps back warding her off with his hands) No, not the hair! Never the hair! (high voice) But there must be someway I can show my appreciation. (low voice) No, helping those in need’s my job, - and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough! (high voice) I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so… (low voice) Say no more. Evil’s still afoot! And I’m almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!”
Spike lights a cigarette while he watches Angel lead Rachel away.
Spike: “Go on with you. Play the big, strapping hero while you can. You have a few surprises coming your way. - The ring of Amarra – a visit from your old pal Spike, - and, oh yeah, - your gruesome, horrible death.”
Xykon’s monologue to Redcloak: "You’re just going to continue following me and doing whatever I order you to do. Because as long as you’re loyal to me, I’ll let you pretend this never happened. We’ll just go about our daily business, and you can hide from the horrifying truth about what you’ve become - namely, a murderer who just killed his baby brother in cold blood. And hey, we can both pretend that you don’t really have any options about any of the despicable actions I ask you to take from here on out - rather than acknowledging, like Right-Eye, you do in fact have a choice. But unlike Right-Eye there, you’re too chickenshit to ever make it. You’ll obey me forever now, because I give you an excuse for your inexcusable behavior. Now are you going to stand there and tell me that I’m wrong?
Didn’t think so.
As a reward for your honesty there, I’ll let you in a on a little evil secret. What I said up there to Dorukan about overwhelming force? That’s only part of Colonel Xykon’s secret recipe for winning. It’s not just about raw power, it’s also about how far you’re willing to debase yourself before feeling bad. And me? I ripped off my own living flesh so that I wouldn’t have to admit weakness. You’re strictly little league compared to that.
That right there? That’s the difference between bonafide true Evil with a capital “E” and your whiny “evil, but for a good cause,” crap. One gets to be the butch, and one gets to be the bitch -
Bitch."
A lot of people hate on Hudson Hawk, but Darwin had some great lines.
Darwin: If DiVinci was alive today, he’d be eating microwave sushi naked with us in the back of a limosine.
Darwin: History, Tradition, Culture - are not concepts, these are trophies I keep in my den as paperweights!
Darwin: I’ll torture you so slowly you’ll think it’s a career. I’ll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom.
From Conan the Barbarian:
James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom
Thulsa Doom: I wish to speak to you now.
Where is the Eye of the Serpent? Rexor says that you gave to a girl, probably for a mere night’s pleasure, hmm? What a loss. People…have no grasp of what they do. You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered my servants, and my PETS! And *that *is what grieves me the most! You killed my snake. Poor Thorgrim is beside himself with grief! He raised that snake from the time it was born.
Conan: You killed my mother! You killed my father, you killed my people! You took my father’s sword… ahhhh!
[Rexor twists his arm]
Thulsa Doom: Ah. It must have been when I was younger. There was a time, boy, when I searched for steel, when steel meant more to me than gold or jewels.
Conan: The riddle… of steel.
Thulsa Doom: Yes! You know what it is, don’t you boy? Shall I tell you? It’s the least I can do.
Steel isn’t strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child…
Thulsa Doom: [coaxes the girl to jump to her death]
Thulsa Doom: [turns back to Conan grinning fiercely]
That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this, I!
Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!
Sailboat
Sailboat, you may wish to reacquaint yourself with the definition of monologue.
OK, but my examples were a bunch of really good micrologues!
Uh…point taken.
Sailboat
I see mention of The Prophecy, but not of Vigo’s wonderful turn as Lucifer.
Lucifer:Other angels have made this war because they hate you, you and all humans. God has put you in his grace and pushed them aside. They’re desperate. They’ve never been able to conquer the other loyal angels, and so this war has remained in stalemate for thousands of years. And while this state of affairs endures no soul can meet its god. Your parents, and their parents, and so on from the beginning lie still in wormy earth. Of course, some of them do come to me eventually, for while heaven may be closed I am always open, even on Christmas.
More Shakespeare:
Aaron the Moor’s final speech in “Titus Andronicus”:
O why should wrath be mute, & Fury dumbe?
I am no Baby I, that with base Prayers
I should repent the Euils I haue done.
Ten thousand worse, then euer yet I did,
Would I performe if I might haue my will:
If one good Deed in all my life I did,
I do repent it from my very Soule.
But, better still, Iago’s final words on “Othello” – the villainous monologue averted:
LODOVICO
341 This wretch hath part confess’d his villany:
342 Did you and he consent in Cassio’s death?
OTHELLO
343 Ay.
CASSIO
344 Dear general, I never gave you cause.
OTHELLO
345 I do believe it, and I ask your pardon.
346 Will you, I pray, demand that demi-devil
347 Why he hath thus ensnared my soul and body?
IAGO
348 Demand me nothing: what you know, you know:
349 From this time forth I never will speak word.
Who you callin’ a wretch? 
Not as good as some, but still not that bad, here’s Otis Driftwood from The House Of A 1,000 Corpses.
Shakespeare again, “Macbeth,” Act 3, Scene 4:
MACBETH
129 I hear it by the way; but I will send.
130 There’s not a one of them but in his house
131 I keep a servant fee’d. I will to-morrow,
132 And betimes I will, to the weird sisters:
133 More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know,
134 By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good,
135 All causes shall give way: **I am in blood
136 Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,
137 Returning were as tedious as go o’er. **
138 Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;
139 Which must be acted ere they may be scann’d.
