So Hard

by Adam Szymkowicz



JACK

It's so hard.



JILL

I know.



JACK

Day in.  Day out.



JILL

I know.



JACK

I can't go on.



JILL

What would you do instead?



JACK

Give up?  Join the circus.



JILL

Circus work is hard work.  Harder than what you do.



JACK

Retire, then.



JILL

You have to work a long time first and make a lot of money.



JACK

Yeah.  Become a bum then.



JILL

You don't want to do that.  You know what you should do?



JACK

No, what?



JILL

Just keep working and stop complaining.



JACK

Yeah.



JILL

I'm tired of it.



JACK

I know.



JILL

Now will you open the bottle of wine?



(JACK finishes opening the bottle.  He pours two glasses.  They toast.  They drink.)



JILL

Right?



JACK

It's pretty good.



JILL

It's really good.



JACK

Maybe I could be a sommelier.



JILL

No.



JACK

What about you?



JILL

I thought you'd never ask.  I'm going to start making oven mitts.



JACK

Oven mitts?



JILL

Yeah.



JACK

Oven mitts?



JILL

Yes.  They are all terrible.  We can do better.  As humans.  We can do so much better.
