I have a couple in mind, but am still open to suggestions. The instructor said we could get them from movies, books, plays - where ever. He said they didnt have to be really long or anything, between like 30 secinds and a couple minutes.

Are you at a university/college, because if not, I really wouldn't recommend these, as cool and brilliant as they are. You know how the school systems are. You'll end up getting eye-balled and possibly shrieked at by your insanely liberal assed teachers who think you're trying to encite violence, earning a trip to the guidance counselor... Or maybe all of this just happens in the South, not sure.
We couldn't even get permission to do scenes from Monty Python, as they were scene as too risque.
It's a sad world when drama students can't attempt the work of some very powerful artists.
The great monolouge from Henry V (Shakespeare) would be great, but who wants to do that anymore. You know, because the monolouge from Dr. Strangelove is awesom and completely thought provoaking for this age, but you know how the assholes in charge think: If you question, you're a subversive. Not saying that you picked a monolouge with those intentions, but an idiot will put words in your mouth any chance it gets.
Maybe a very creatively (diabolicaly under their nose and over their head) worked medly would work.
I don't know. It's tricky. Some thesbians:D :D and I got into some trouble back our day.
