Jack and Jill Plays - Part 7 - Time

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.









Time

(JILL is gardening.  JACK is chopping wood.)



JILL

I might buy a new watch.



JACK

Yeah?



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

Do you wear a watch?



JILL

I would if I liked it.



JACK

Oh.  Maybe I'll buy a top hat.



JILL

No.



JACK

And a vest.



JILL

Do you wish we were nomads?



JACK

Like living in a van?



JILL

Or something.



JACK

Backpacking across Europe?



JILL

Maybe.



JACK

No.  I don't want to go anywhere or do anything.



JILL

You wish you had more lovers?



JACK

Nah.



JILL

But you are unhappy.



JACK

Well, yeah, I am deeply unhappy.  Aren't you?



JILL

Sometimes I am.



JACK

But that doesn't mean I want to change anything.



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

Even if I do get a hat.



JILL

You'll never wear it.



JACK

I know.



JILL

It's not who you are.



JACK

Well, you're not someone who wears a watch.



JILL

I know.  What time is it?



JACK

I don't know.
