Jack And Jill Plays - Part 33 - See What We Get

About Jack and Jill Plays:


This is a new thing I'm doing.  Posting a short play every day as long as I can.  


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







See What We Get

by Adam Szymkowicz



(JACK and JILL in a rowboat or a canoe.  They row or paddle.)



JILL

You want to practice?



JACK

No.



JILL

I think you should practice.



JACK

That's okay.



JILL

I Insist.



JACK

I don't want to.



JILL

It'll make you more confident.



JACK

I don't want to be confident.



JILL

Why not?



JACK

I want to be authentic in the moment.  Not fake confident and then they hire me and they'll be like where did that confident guy go that we hired -- now we got this guy.  Better to never be confident.



JILL

Better to get the job.



JACK

Right.  Okay.  That's a fair point.



JILL

Great.  (as interviewer) Nice to meet you, Jack.  Why did you apply for this job.



JACK

I can't do this.  Can we just not?  I want to be unrehearsed.  I want to speak from the heart.  If the job is right it will all work out.



JILL

No.  You need a job.  You make the job right.



JACK

Yeah.  But.  If I try to make stuff up, it'll be bad.  I'll be bad at it.  Better to just say what I'm thinking.



JILL

What are you thinking?



JACK

I'm thinking I don't want this job.



JILL

I know that's what you're thinking.  I need you think think something else.



JACK

Can we just not talk for a while and cast out our lines and see what we get?



(JILL silently agrees.  They both fish.)
