Nick, would you care to post a link or two to your favorite couple of monologues? I'm going to go look for one of my favorite dialogue exchanges.....
Sure! There are tons that I like, I put three into a PDF and uploaded it here:

1) Peter Finch's monologue from the 1976 movie
Network - Foul language present
2) Gene Hackman's monologue from
Runaway Jury delivered in the famous bathroom scene. - Mild languge*
3) Daniel Day-Lewis's famous milkshake monologue from
There Will Be Blood*
*Adapted from a dialogue exchange between two characters in order to fit the length requirements of a monologue.Another one of my favorites is Tommy Lee Jones's monologue that is the final speech in
No Country For Old Men In fact, that movie also concienved many of my favorite dialogue exchanges.
