Jack And Jill Plays - Part 2 - See

About Jack and Jill Plays:


I'm going to do something new.  Post a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.


The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.

(JACK and JILL are standing knee deep in snow.  It is snowing lightly.  They look at each other but say nothing.)



JACK

He'll come back.



JILL

What if he doesn't?



JACK

He'll get hungry.  He has to eat.



JILL

What if he was hit by a car or what if he just lied down and froze to death.



JACK

I guess.  I don't know.  Why would he do that?



JILL

Hypothermia?



JACK

Yeah.  I told you we should have gotten a goldfish.  A goldfish wouldn't do this.



JILL

You don't see me.



JACK

What?  Where's that coming from?



JILL

It's like you know I'm here but you don't see who I am.



JACK

I know you.  I've known you for a long time.



JILL

You don't see me.



JACK

Okay, but no, you're wrong.



JILL

Do you think I have an addictive personality?



JACK

Only when you're depressed.



JILL

I see you.  It's not fair.



JACK

Spot!  Spot!  He'll come back.



JILL

I'm not losing another one.



JACK

Spot!



(THEY stand there looking at each other.)
