The melancholy Jaques

[kitchen_kink]

If you were to pick a scene in As You Like It to audition people for the part of Jaques, what would you pick? I kind of want to avoid his big monologues ("All the world's a stage" especially).

I haven't seen the audition rules, so I don't know if that is limited to plays.
For lamentation, there's Sebastian's confession from "Comes the Inquisitor", Londo's silliloquy [sic] from "In the Beginning" (both B5).
For nihilism, there's the opening monologue from "Trainspotting" or any monologue from "Fight Club".

I thiiiink you misunderstood my question. I need a scene from the play, for audition sides. ;)

Oh! That's different! Never mind.
"A fool in the forest" monologue works, then. Maybe something from Act IV.
