Eggs

by Adam Szymkowicz



(JACK and JILL in mid conversation)



JACK

But it's like I don't need all the eggs.



JILL

Right.



JACK

But it wouldn't hurt to have a few more.



JILL

Sure.



JACK

I wouldn't put them all in one basket.



JILL

You gotta spread em out.



JACK

Totally.  And also not break them.



JILL

Okay.



JACK

I got a job.



JILL

What?



JACK

Yeah.  It's in Cleveland.  Sort of like what I'm doing now but maybe less terrible.



JILL

Cleveland?



JACK

Yeah.



JILL

You should take it.  You should go.  More money?



JACK

More money.



JILL

You should go.



JACK

You won't go with me?



JILL

Well.  No.  No, I won't.



JACK

It would be good to get away.



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

From all this grief.



JILL

New city.  New life.  You could forget.



JACK

Maybe.  Maybe.  I don't know.  Maybe.



JILL

You aren't going to go, are you?  You never do things that are good for you.



JACK

I went running.  Last week.



JILL

What about this week?



JACK

I went to a job interview.



JILL

Just go.  I don't need you.  I don't need you here.  If you go, it will be quiet and I think I need that.



JACK

You want me to go?



JILL

I do.  I didn't know I did but I do.  Yeah I do.



JACK

Maybe.



JILL

Sometimes I hate you.



JACK

I know.



JILL

It's more eggs.



JACK

Yeah.



JILL

So . . .
