An example of a good monologue from the ‘Irishman’ screenplay is when Robert De Niro’s character talks about a character who snitches on the mafia.
Frank Sheeran: [voice over] Now, Russell, he got pinched for telling Jimmy the Weasel to strangle Jack Napoli over some beef about twenty-five grand of jewelry that Jack took on credit from Russell, and then he never paid for. Now, with Russ, you don’t do that. So, only thing is, the Weasel, he flipped. He had a wire on him. They called it “conspiracy to kill a witness”. It was obvious to everybody else that Napoli was clearly in the wrong. I mean, how could you not see that? He set him up. It was entrapment. What else could you call it? But that’s another thing I don’t want to get into now.
