Contact – Monologue (Ellie)

A monologue from the screenplay by James V. Hart & Michael Goldenberg

ELLIE ARROWAY

Because I can’t. I… had an experience… I can’t prove it, I can’t even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! 

I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever… A vision… of the universe, that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how… rare, and precious we all are! 

A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater then ourselves, that we are *not*, that none of us are alone!

I wish… I… could share that… I wish, that everyone, if only for one… moment, could feel… that awe, and humility, and hope. 

But… That continues to be my wish.
