Can Anybody Help?

Hey there! I'm preparing for my audition for the acting school and I'd like to demonstrate my multilingual skills in one single monologue, since I think it'll be more effective and impressive. I speak English, Italian, Greek, Persian and a little bit of French. Do you know any monologue from any film or play that might have a character speaking different languages all at once in one single monologue?
Google doesn't seem to help me.

I live in Italy and I've already sent a self-tape audition video to the school in Italian. One of the major requirements for entering the school is to be fluent both in Italian and in English. Speaking other languages is a bonus. If your self-tape audition video is accepted you'll be invited for an in-person audition and you'll need to recite a new monologue plus reading a poem in Italian out of memory. You might be asked to improvise or sing or dance. The number of participants is quite huge, so I'll need to demonstrate my skills in a short time. I think reciting a multilingual monologue would help me to showcase that my language skills are good enough for the school, my fluency in Italian will be proven when reading the poem. I need have enough time for improvisation, singing and dancing too. I know the main key for entering the school is acting, but this particular school is very competitive and requires you to be not just an actor, but a good actor with multiple skills and abilities.
