Auditions Character script

Angelo
SCENE 1
Mr Wilson
and it takes a man like me to come and sort it out
honestly some of your kind are trouble but I like
you...

ANGELO
(Loses his head and bangs the table as he says this)
ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS! I've come here and been
nothing but respectful and your just mouthing off
about things you don't even know about... I don't
think anyone here cares what you have to say...does
your wife..no dont think so..your daughter...no! the
way you've treated your family in front of me is
disgusting and don't ever tell me I'm apart of your
family because I promise you, if I had someone like
you in my life I would be gone. your making a
complete fool out of yourself. This is why I hate
people like you..yknow ...people like you is why shit
will never change...Blm this...Blm that... (takes a
pause)...you don't know anything I go through..I walk
out my house everyday with the fear of
being...killed..why because what I look
like...because of the colour of my skin, I bet that's
never even been a thought of yours, fearing your
gonna be killed, or stopped because of the way you
look (smiles in denial)...i'm scared to leave my
house..walk down my own road, let alone go to
school.. you don't have to feel the same way..you
will never really know how it feels...so please keep
your shitty options to yourself because you know
nothing !
