Jack And Jill Plays - Part 15 - The Speeds Of Love

About Jack and Jill Plays:

This is a new thing I'm doing.  Posting a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.

The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.

The Speeds Of Love
by Adam Szymkowicz

JACK
I love you, Jill.

JILL
I know you think you do.

JACK
I do.  My love is pure and true and potent.

JILL
That's what you say.

JACK
Because it's true.

JILL
You don't know what's true.

JACK
Why would you say that?

JILL
I'm not someone who people can love.  Not really.  A dog maybe could love me.  But not a human.

JACK
That's really sad because I love you.

JILL
You just love yourself and think it's me.  You see me laugh when you make a joke and you love me for liking you.  You're in love with yourself and I'm nearby and it's like some spills over onto me but it doesn't really.

JACK
You're terrible.

JILL
I know.

JACK
So then you don't want to move in with me?

JILL
I'll move in.  Just don't expect too much.

JACK
You'll marry me someday.

JILL
What did I just say?
