3-Act Play in 12 Lines

Jack: “Do you have any guilty pleasures, Jill?”

Jill: “Yes, and you?”

Jack: “Hallmark movies and ice cream with fries. What are yours?”

Jill: “That’s for me alone to know, pal.”

Jack furrows his brow. “I told you mine. Why won’t you tell me yours?”

Jill: “Because they’re guilty pleasures, duh. And, sharing was your choice, my dear friend, not mine.”

Jack: “Why, duh?”

Jill: “I just told you! Open your ears. Because they’re secret!”

Jack: “You said ‘guilty.’ Do you believe feelings of guilt must be kept secret?”

Jill. “ … Huh, when you put it that way, no. Brad Pitt. … What flavour of ice cream?”

Jack: “That’s for me alone to know, pal.”
