Nurse Betty Page #3

BETTY:

Hey, Sheriff. How's everything?

BALLARD:

Oh, you know, the usual... keeping the

world safe.

BETTY:

... I meant your food.

BALLARD:

Oh, right... 's fine. Thanks.

ROY:

I thought you said the eggs weren't...

BALLARD:

It's fine. Mind your own meal...

5.

ROY:

You should get the order you want.

BALLARD:

And you should keep your nose out of

another man's omelette...

(to Betty)

It's no big deal, Betty.

BETTY:

There's yolks in there, huh? It's no

prob'... gotta keep you on track.

Betty grabs Ballard's plate without another word, gives him a

reassuring rub on the shoulders and moves off. He smiles

appreciatively after her, then turns on Roy.

BALLARD:

Why you always gotta embarrass me? I

been eating lunch with you since grade

school and you always gotta embarrass me!

ROY:

They're just eggs, Elden, how

embarrassing can eggs be?

BALLARD:

... plenty

ROY:

Who eats eggs for lunch, anyhow?

BALLARD:

Mind your own business. You just said

that sh*t so you could look at her a

little longer, anyway...

Still carrying Ballard's plate, she returns to the counter.

BETTY:

Come on, guys, I told you it's egg whites

only for the Sheriff...

(quietly)

... I put him in that 'zone' thing.

COOK #1

Well, it better be a pretty good size

zone if he's in it...

Betty and the cooks share a quick laugh. They move to change

his order while Betty glances up at the TV.
