**Sam Rockwell’s Outrageous Monologue in *The White Lotus* Season 3, Episode 5**

*The White Lotus* has consistently embraced the odd, but Sam Rockwell’s character, Frank, delivers a monologue in Season 3, Episode 5 that elevates the weirdness to new heights.

Frank appears in Bangkok as a longtime friend of White Lotus guest Rick (portrayed by Walton Goggins). Rick encounters him while on the hunt for hotel owner Sritala (Lek Patravadi) and her spouse, Jim Hollinger.

The two meet up in a bar, where Frank presents Rick with an enigmatic briefcase before diving into his story of sobriety. This dialogue swiftly evolves into a shocking monologue in which Frank crudely and vividly recounts the circumstances that led him to stop drinking.

*”When I arrived here, oh, I felt like a child in a candy shop,”* Frank states in a flat tone. *”If you’ve got cash, no strings attached, nothing on your plate. I began to party. It got crazy.”*

That’s about the only section of his speech that could be deemed somewhat appropriate. The monologue continues for several minutes, leaving Rick visibly taken aback. His reaction alone encapsulates the utter ridiculousness of the moment—and it’s already set to become a trending meme.

New episodes of *The White Lotus* premiere weekly on Max, airing Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
