Androidian Love: a short play

by Ernest Kinnie

A short play.
The power of cyberbrains, forbidden love, and a return to Shakespeare’s “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” Not for humans prone to nightmares, but a wonderful gift for pedophiliacs.


A park bench center stage. Richard, around 50, enters left center leading the little princess by the hand. She is pretty and in her teens. She is slightly stiff and mechanical in her movements. They sit down, and he is still holding her hand. Richard looks toward right center.


RICHARD
Joan and Barry Dunaway will be coming along soon. Barry is my boss at the agency. Joanie might not be too friendly. She disapproves of you living with me.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
(A teenage girls voice.)
Why does she disapprove of me living with you?


RICHARD
Because you are a young, attractive female, and her head is full of filthy fantasies. She wants me to send you back.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
(Frightened.)
Please don’t make me go back.


RICHARD
(Hugs her.)
Don’t worry, honey pot. That won’t happen.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
I love you daddy.
(Gives him a big kiss and hug.)


RICHARD
I love you too, honey.
(Hugs and kisses her.)
Don’t hug quite so hard. You will hurt people.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
I will remember. Why do humans hug and kiss?


RICHARD
It creates a bond that makes them more likely to help each other. Increases survivability. And, it feels good.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
Are you going to stir my honey pot tonight?


RICHARD
Good Lord, your honey pot surely needs a lot of stirring. You’re wearing me out.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
(Concerned.)
Oh, I am sorry. I will not request the stirring as often.


RICHARD
(Richard looks toward right center, and drops her hand. He get up and waves.)
Hey! Over here.
(The little princess also gets up and a few moments later Joan and Barry enter right center. In their 50s.)
Hi Barry. Hi Joanie.
( Barry shakes Richard’s hand and Joan gives him a kiss on the cheek.)
This is my little princess. These are my old friends, Joanie and Barry.


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
(The little princess puts out her hand, and they reluctantly shake it.)
I am so glad to meet you both. Ricky has told me so much about you.
(There is an awkward pause. And then each couple sits down on opposite ends of the bench. Another awkward pause.)


JOAN
I have never spoken to a robot before. How does….


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
(Interrupts with a touch of anger.)
I am not a robot. I am an android.


JOAN
(Heavy sarcasm.)
Ooooh, I am so very sorry. Please forgive me. I didn’t know there was much of a difference, but I have heard that androids do cost a lot more than robots. Richard, darling, is the quality of the services she provides worth the extra money?


THE LITTLE PRINCESS
There are many important differences between a robot and an android, Mrs. Dunaway. Would you like me to explain them to you, or do you prefer to remain ignorant and nasty?
