12 Angry Men Monologue Script
I'm begging you, tell me who killed MaNzuza, so Nosipho and I can have a good life again... after I've been reinstated.

Don't you want to be a parent?

I do want to be the mother of the Maphumulo babies.

Thanks, Last Namba.

Hey, where are my pills?

No, no, no!

She'll talk.

Sit her upright!

Are you ready to talk?

- I don't know what you're on about.
- Where are my pills?

- I don't know what you're on about.
- Okay, again!

Tilt her backwards!

No!

Talk!

Sit her upright!

Okay, okay!

Hey!

- Where's my stuff?
- I took it.

And where is it now?

- I don't know.
- Tilt her backwards!

Talk!

You'll talk. Right, darling?

Hello, guys.

- She's with the...

Who are they again?
The salon suppliers.

She's with them.

Oh.

Did she say what time she'd be back?

These things can take...

anything between five minutes and five hours long.

But don't worry, I'll tell her to call you.

Okay, tell her someone who loves her was here.

'Boys to girls'.

Cheers.

How do you feel?

What do you care?

I've never cared about you.

What I'd like to happen...

is that before your ancestors take you...

I'll have concluded my investigation.

I have a few questions for you.

Forget it.
You won't get anything out of me.

You don't know that.
Tell me, Nkunzi...

where's the gun?

What the hell?

Are you out of your mind?

I was shot and you ask me where the gun is.

Nkunzi, I want the gun that killed MaNzuza!

You and I know that gun has killed a lot of people...

and that you...

It's the only thing...

that's saving you from going to jail.
Where's the gun?

Hey, what's going on here?

Doctor, I'm a police officer.

And this is my patient.

Please leave.
This isn't a police station.

Please leave.

Don't make me call security.
Please leave.

Thank you.

Beloved...

They were at the panelbeaters...

and turned it upside down.

I had...

the foresight to move the gun and keep it on me.

That's why they didn't find it.

What are you saying?

Njomane, it's just that...

this gun will help me...

if you ever...

look at another woman...

or look in her direction...

and follow her.
If you even dare...

this gun...

will make its way onto Captain's table...

and I'll tell him the whole story.

If you ever dare...

Njomane.

- Mxolisi!
- Zekhethelo!

Amos! Amos!

If you dare hurt her, you'll see another side to me.

My love...

are you alright?

This is so cute!

'My love'.

- Amos, what do you want?
- You and your bitch stole from me.

I hate it when people steal from me.

But because I'm a nice and kind person...

I'll give you a day to give me my money.

- 24 hours.
- A day, Amos?

You've been selling your stuff from Gabisile's house.

You're actually stupid and just act smart.

You stole from me, right?

Listen, time's up.

You know what?

R70,000.

R70,000 today in cash.

    Interrogations In Warren Ellis Fell, Part Five

    Guns allowed Connah to end the lives of various women, and end up in the situation. A gun was pulled out when Connah began to lose control over the policemen, the power shifting over to Fell.

    +There is pleasure to be had in exercising one’s rights, learning something new in midlife and mastering the operation of a complex tool, which is one thing a gun is.

    2nd Amendment Argumentative Essay

    Americans have a unique relationship with their guns, one not found in most similar first-world countries. American culture idolizes guns through the popularity of hunting, sport shooting, and owning guns for home defense. In America, many celebrate this freedom, but this freedom has a cost. Although America was founded on principles of liberty, the amount of lives lost to gun violence raises an alarming problem which Americans undoubtedly cannot ignore. This problem is not distant or far off from this audience either. According to a publication from Princeton and the Brookings Institute, the annual total of death or injury due to gun violence of those under 20 is over 20,000. (Behrman, Culross, and Reich 1). However, outside of only those…

    Gun Violence In America

    Gun Violence In America

    Since the inception of firearms, people have been wielding all types of arms and ammunitions against each other in order to injure or kill their opponent. In the modern world, this violence is unwarranted and goes against everything society stands for. Nowhere else is gun violence most prevalent than in the United States of America. Because of the Constitution, Americans have had the right to bear arms since 1776. When the Constitution was drafted, the term “arms” meant nothing more than a musket or perhaps small one-shot pistol. However, as arms and ammunition have evolved much like any other technology, their capacity to accurately kill humans has increased. So much so that one firearm can be used to kill many people…

Food is an important element in defining culture and the globalization of McDonald’s is huge. Most people when they hear the name McDonald’s immediately think of America. Equating McDonald’s with America is sensible since they opened their first restaurant in America back in 1953 and over the years directly influenced American culture in a tremendous way. From the days of a child’s first words McDonalds naturally comes off their lips as a place they want to eat. McDonald’s terms such as super size me have influenced teen culture by making its way into slang. McDonalds is the cool place to eat while at the same time driving our fast past give it to me now American culture. McDonald’s made it easy for Americans to get what they want fast and move on with life. McDonald’s has and still is a strong expression of American culture.…

    Avatar - the Epic from James Cameroon

    Five years ago, Avatar was sweeping the country, and it seemed like everybody was talking about nothing else for weeks after its released. I wasn't all that into sci-fi at the time, but the movie seeped into my world. Avatar is the event film of 2009.
