I am auditioning for a speech competition under the prose category.
I need a block of text from a movie or book that takes 3-5 minutes to act out(cannot be poetry, cannot come from a play)
If anyone has any suggestions for Bible sections, that would be fine too.

Perhaps something from Lord of the Rings?
A block of test from a movie, (also very interesting content about views on the media and manipulated world) try the movie ‘The Network’.
There are a couple of brilliant speeches in this that could fit what you are looking for…
(It is also a very good movie, ranked in the top 100 ever on IMBD) so it is worth the watch, even if you don’t like the text in it.
ooh, I totally agree with pyro, Something from LOTR…in the second movie there is a speech given by Sam that is really awsome (though it is not in the book) where he is talking about why they are fighting and what will happen if they should fail…very moving.
I like the Lapine myth of the creation of the world, The Story of the Blessing of El-Ahrairah, chapter 6 of the book Watership Down.
Or, for something completely different, Bluto’s It’s Over?!? speech from Animal House. You’ll have to edit a couple of words, but I bet no one else thinks of it.
Act out the scene where thelma and louise drove off the cliff
something from the twilight saga.
there is so many good, long quotes in there.
Okay…these are from Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series:
I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me… Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
Fear of a name increases fear of a thing itself.
Humans have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worst for them.
Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.
You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
–yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.
Time is making fools of us again.
It’s the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.
It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated.
There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
