Setting up my Monologue My monologue is spoken to my sister. The monologue is my reaction to her giving me the wrong flight information to pick up our mother from the airport. Even though my sister had the day off, and could easily pick up our mother she wanted me to do it and take the day off work. After a week of fighting I finally gave in and just offered to do it. The only thing that my sister had to do was print out the flight information and she couldn’t do it, and this is my response to her when I get home from two hours at the airport.
