OUR RELATIONSHIP
By Adam Szymkowicz
(TWO PEOPLE one in front of the other, in line, waiting. J and Q enter and reach the end of the line at the same moment. They both motion for the other to go.)
Q
You were here first.
J
No, you.
Q
You go. Please.
J
I insist.
Q
No.
J
I insist.
Q
Well okay.
J
Do I… Do I know you?
Q
No. No? No.
J
You're on the Internet?
Q
Yes.
J
We hate each other.
Q
Yes.
THE CHEESE
By Adam Szymkowicz
(SUE and BETSY seated.)
SUE
I just can’t any more.
BETSY
Oh right. Because of everything.
SUE
I feel like I don’t want to read anything or see anything or experience anything because if I like it, the week after someone will write an article telling me how my experience is wrong and I shouldn’t like it because—
BETSY
I know.
SUE
We could. I dunno. You wanna. Like drop out?
BETSY
Nah. I’d miss the cheese.
SUE
Yeah.
BETSY
The cheese.
(They think about the cheese.)
SUE
Okay so just to be clear… is this a date?
BETSY
Oh. No. I mean. No. Except. Okay. Maybe. I don’t like girls, but okay, yes. Yes. But we’re not dropping out though?
SUE
No.
BETSY
Okay.
