Monologue - Barbra Streisand

Thank you!

You know this is, I havent done a concert, in about six years.

and

Its oh thank you… but its very exciting i Must say, but its also terribly, terribly

Scary… ooh, God I wish I was back on the set!

Mmm, I gotta tell you this funny thing.

but its

Not so funny.

but talking about being scared

I was even more scared till I spoke to friends

Of mine also performers, you know… and they

Were telling me that they also… uh …[drinks

Tea] tastes much better that way!

the japanese

Said so!

anyway… they told me that in order

To conquer their fears, you know, they … eh Well, some of them drink;

but I really hate

The taste of liquors, so i… you know, I cant

Do that… and some of them… uh … take pills;

But I cant even swallow aspirin, so I cant

Do that, but… more important than that… i Have found, and I believe, that performers

Should be very strong, you know, and… you dont

Know what Im gonna say… your way ahead of me tonight.

Its still illegal?

we should face our problems head

On!

you know… what I was about to say you see,

I have found that the way I conquer my fear of A performance is just to… uhm… you know,

Talk about it, and you get it out in the open,

And you discuss it with a little… excuse me…

you just, you just talk about it freely and just…

Everything… and shes… what a fantastic

Accord you just played… what was that of f minor

7th with a demented pinky on the 5th it was really high.
