It's Me
by Adam Szymkowicz

(JILL at a bar with a drink.  Enter JACK.)

JACK
Hey!  Hi, you.

JILL
Hi.

JACK
How's it all going?

JILL
I'm supposed to know you, huh?

JACK
What?

JILL
We know each other?

JACK
Ha!

JILL
Sorry.  It's-  I should tell you.  I was in an accident.

JACK
You look good.

JILL
I have brain damage.  My long term memory is fucked.  And I know who I am but I don't know who a lot of people are.  Like people I knew before the accident.

JACK
It's me.  You should remember me.  I mean look at me.  Really look at me.

(She looks.  She really looks.)

JILL
Sorry.

JACK
It's Jack.

JILL
Jack!

JACK
You remember?

JILL
No, but people talked about you.

JACK
What did they say?

JILL
We're divorced.

JACK
Oh, yeah.  That's-- That's true.

JILL
Why are we... why did we get divorced?

JACK
Oh, um.  It was you.  You were afraid of how much I loved you.  And how much you loved me.  Yeah, mostly that.  Terrified of love.  So you broke it off.

JILL
Really?

JACK
Yup.

JILL
Buy you a drink?

JACK
Sure.  Sure.  What are you drinking?

JILL
Sprite and vodka.

JACK
Sprite?

JILL
Yeah.

JACK
Sprite?

JILL
Yeah.

JACK
Huh.

JILL
So tell me about me.

JACK
I got stories.  Wait till you hear all the stories I got.

JILL
I can't wait.

JACK
One time.  You killed this snake.

JILL
I did?
