Jack And Jill Plays - Part 35 - Proud

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.

PROUD
by Adam Szymkowicz

(JACK in a swimsuit sits in a kiddie pool full of rubber ducks. Enter JILL wearing sunglasses.  She sees JACK.)

JILL
Hey.

JACK
Hey.

JILL
Are you drunk?

JACK
No.  Of course not.  Maybe.  It's Saturday.

JILL
I've been thinking a lot about my dad.

JACK
Oh.

JILL
About him and how he died but also what he was like and what I'm like.

JACK
Yeah.

JILL
Everything's inescapable, isn't it?

JACK
Maybe.  Yeah.  I don't know.

JILL
How long you been sitting in there.

JACK
I don't have a watch or anything.

JILL
Yeah.  A long time?

JACK
Maybe.  I don't know.  He'd be proud of you.

JILL
No.  Proud of what?  No.

JACK
He would be.

JILL
Move over.

(JILL climbs in the pool with him.  They kiss.  Maybe they kiss.  Maybe they make out like teenagers.  Maybe the ducks squeak as they roll around.)

JACK
I'm gonna get a watch.

JILL
You're so sexy.  You have another beer?
