Raccoon
by Adam Szymkowicz


(JACK is playing with a slinky.  Enter JILL.)

JILL
Hey Jack.

JACK
Hey Jill.

JILL
Did you know we'll all die someday?

JACK
I didn't know that.  Can we come back as raccoons?

JILL
Yes.

JACK
Cool.

JILL
Also--

JACK
What?

JILL
I'm sleeping with Sarah.

JACK
Oh.  I always liked Sarah.

JILL
Me too.  Me too.  That's why we did some nasty together.  It's over now of course.  Which is why I'm telling you.

JACK
To upset me.

JILL
To feel better.

JACK
Oh.

JILL
But yeah, I guess I upset you, huh?

JACK
Yeah.  You did do that.  Ow.  It feels like pain.  A little.  Ow.  Mmm.  Oh.  I'm gonna go then.

JILL
What?

JACK
I'm moving out.

JILL
Why so?

JACK
Betrayal.

JILL
Oh.

JACK
I dislike betrayal.

JILL
I see.

JACK
So I'm moving out.

JILL
I shouldn't have told you.

JACK
I don't know.  Yeah.  Maybe.  I've been thinking about The Stranger and I think.  I think.  He just shouldn't have shot the Arab.

JILL
I see that.  I see that.  Sure.  So you'll move out?

JACK
Yeah.  I feel like I should yell things but I don't feel like it.

JILL
Okay.

JACK
I'm taking the TV.

JILL
Yeah.  I get that.

(JACK exits dejected.)
