It's Me

by Adam Szymkowicz



(JILL at a bar with a drink.  Enter JACK.)



JACK

Hey!  Hi, you.



JILL

Hi.



JACK

How's it all going?



JILL

I'm supposed to know you, huh?



JACK

What?



JILL

We know each other?



JACK

Ha!



JILL

Sorry.  It's-  I should tell you.  I was in an accident.



JACK

You look good.



JILL

I have brain damage.  My long term memory is fucked.  And I know who I am but I don't know who a lot of people are.  Like people I knew before the accident.



JACK

It's me.  You should remember me.  I mean look at me.  Really look at me.



(She looks.  She really looks.)



JILL

Sorry.



JACK

It's Jack.



JILL

Jack!



JACK

You remember?



JILL

No, but people talked about you.



JACK

What did they say?



JILL

We're divorced.



JACK

Oh, yeah.  That's-- That's true.



JILL

Why are we... why did we get divorced?



JACK

Oh, um.  It was you.  You were afraid of how much I loved you.  And how much you loved me.  Yeah, mostly that.  Terrified of love.  So you broke it off.



JILL

Really?



JACK

Yup.



JILL

Buy you a drink?



JACK

Sure.  Sure.  What are you drinking?



JILL

Sprite and vodka.



JACK

Sprite?



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

Sprite?



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

Huh.



JILL

So tell me about me.



JACK

I got stories.  Wait till you hear all the stories I got.



JILL

I can't wait.



JACK

One time.  You killed this snake.



JILL

I did?
