The Last M&M Samurai

March 3, 2018 by Joseph Arnone

In this monologue, Dan talks to his close friend about why he shouldn’t eat the last m&m in the
bag.

Dan: You always gotta let the last man go. It’s honorable. He’s the last guy to make it out of the
bag. The warrior. He’s the last samurai man.
You have to give it some thought and wonder, how did this little m & m do it? How was he skilled
enough to be the last m & m in the bag, out of all the other M & M’s in the bag? All the different
colors. All the different sizes.I always let the last one go because he was the strongest, the
swiftest, the smartest peanut out of the bunch. If you respect the candy, you gotta respect the
nut.
Some people will call it science. Others will call it luck. I like to call it destiny. it was destiny
combined with talent that made this little fella survive. Picture it. All of these other peanuts,
some bigger than you, some faster than you, some smarter than you…all fighting to stay in the
back of the bag when you turn it upside down to eat one of them. This little fella beat the odds.
He deserves to be set free, just on moral obligation alone. Call me crazy but no matter what you
say, I’m always going to let the last man go
