Female Monologue: Supreme Leader
From the play The Five Stages of Love and Marriage
by Gabriel Davis
(A wife addresses her husband)
Say "I love you and I owe you my life"
No, I know you don't really owe me your life. It's just a game, like role playing. It sounds funny, right "I owe you my life." I mean not for someone whose spouse gave them a kidney or something. But in our case. It sounds funny. Say it. "I love you and I owe you my life"
(He says it)
Wow that just sounds ridiculous coming from you. And awesome. I love it!
Now say "you are the supreme leader of this household"
It's ok if you don't believe it. I just want to hear the words.
Humor me. Say "you are the supreme leader of this household." I know it's silly. It's just a silly game. Say it. Pretty please ..
(He says it)
Oh my god. Thank you. That felt amazing. I feel so powerful and in control of my destiny.
And you didn't even have to believe it to make me feel like a million bucks. Thank you, I love you!
What would you say to having wall sized pictures of me hung around the house? Just for a month. For a laugh and to make me feel good. And just once or three times a day say "You are my supreme leader, I owe you my life."
Don't give me that look. It'd just be for giggles, playing, make believe. You would be saying it but you wouldn't even have to believe it. You wouldn't even have to believe it at first. Or at all ever .. at first.
No I totally get how you might not be into it. But, oh I hear the doorbell. That must be the guy from FedEx delivering the wall hangings with my likeness on them.
I'll be right back and we can talk more about it. After all this household is a democracy .. for now.
I'll be right back!
