Love

Two friends, one boy and one girl, eating breakfast over a table, presumably at a diner.

Volume of their voices crescendos and gets progressively louder until they’re screaming!!!!! !!

Start

Beginning with Girl and Boy chowing down. It takes a little while to begin while they are emphatically and excitedly devouring breakfast. Licking of the plate is involved.

Girl: Mmmm… I really really really like these pancakes.

Boy: I really really really like the chocolate chips in my pancakes.

Girl: I love chocolate chips!

Boy: I love chocolate ice cream!

Girl: Ben and Jerry’s are my two favorite people!

Boy: I love Mitchell’s ice cream!

Girl: My favorite flavor’s blueberry.

Boy: I love raspberry.

Girl: I love picking raspberries!

Boy: I love apple-picking!

Girl: I love Autumn!

Boy: I love you!!!

Horrifyingly awkward pause in which Boy stares at the girl and girl slowly turns away from him.

Girl: I love these pancakes….. (That loud enthusiasm has disappeared and the energy level has regressed lower than the beginning of the play.)

Boy looks very awkwardly away.
Both look back down at their plates and eat quietly.
