A Mini-Play: In a Million

3-Act Play in 12 Lines

Jill: “Who do you think is smarter, Jack? Men or women?”

Jack: “Is this a trick question?”

Jill: “No, I just want your honest answer.”

Jack: “Women, hands down. It’s in your DNA.”

.   .   .

Jill: “ … In our DNA?”

Jack: “For a million years, ‘til recently, men just took what they wanted.”

Jill: “And, women?”

Jack: “You’ve had to use your smarts to get what you want.”

.   .   .

Jill: “Interesting theory. But, what did you mean by ‘until recently’?”

Jack: “Just look all around you, Jill. It’s a woman’s world now.”

Jill c***s her head: “What does that mean?”

Jack: “Means, in a million years we’ll be smarter than you.”
