In this Monologue Daphne confesses her love for Simon.
Daphne: I know why you made that vow to your father. I found the letters you wrote to him as a child, and I read them. Just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love. Your father made you believe otherwise. He made you believe that you needed to be without fault to be loved. But he was wrong. Should you need any proof of the matter, well then look just here. I’m tired of pretending that I cannot continue acting as… as if I do not love you.
Because I do. I love all of you, even the parts that you think are too dark and too shameful. Every scar, every flaw, every imperfection. I love you. Now you may think that you are too damaged and too broken to allow yourself to be happy, but you can choose differently Simon. You can choose to love me as much as I love you. That should not be up to anyone else. That cannot be up to anyone else. That can only be up to you.

Sliver of Sincerity – Joseph Arnone
Synopsis: In Sliver of Sincerity, Lenora gives her sister a blast because she’s fed up with always seeing her sister being miserable and self-absorbed.
LENORA: Oh, spare me your melodramatic bullsh’t, Emily. Who cares? Nobody cares. I am so sick of your problems. Constantly whining over such baby things.
(imitating) “Me, me woe is me is all I ever get to see. My problems, my worries, my situation, me, me, me, waa waa waa.”
So closed off from reality. You never see anyone else around you, and never take the time to move outside of yourself and care for another living soul.
No, you are never kind. Never. Even when you show a sliver of sincerity it comes off so put on and controlled because you start making strange faces. Your cheeks, lips, and eyes get all squinty and horrible and when you smile you look insane. Your sincerity looks painful. It’s so forced and awkward because you don’t know how to be genuinely nice to a-n-y-o-n-e. You physically can’t bear it.
You are born to be rude. Just a nasty person at heart. Always huffing and puffing, barking and growling about something insignificant in your life and it’s gotten old.
Get out of your tomb. Okay? Live a little life, smile, get happy, whatever it is you need to do to WAKE UP.
