BECK hesitates at the door to the Mess, as though screwing

CUT TO:

INSIDE THE MESS:

Everyone looks up as Beck enters and the room goes quiet.

Beck notices Doc's empty chair.

BECK:

Doc eat already?

JONES:

The good doctor hasn't showed yet.

Looks are exchanged. Sixpack smirks knowingly.

BECK:

(to DeJesus)

How do you feel, DeJesus?

DEJESUS:

(obviously embarrassed

to be singled out)

Okay.

BECK:

Better let the Doc take a

look at you, after dinner.

SIXPACK:

Yeah, since he was busy earlier

when you needed him.

He cracks up and Beck turns on him.

BECK:

Cut it, Sixpack.

Sixpack shuts up, but Beck notices the others feel the

seriousness of Doc's absence during the emergency.

BECK(cont'd)

Leave the Doc to me. I'm

going to talk to him.

SIXPACK:

(sarcastically, under his

breath to Bowman)

Beck gets his tray but it is clear he is thinking about

something else. He clears his throat.

BECK:

I've been looking at the duty

roster...at the shack hours

outstanding...

JONES:

Uh, oh...I see where this

is going...

BECK:

(ignoring Jones)

...all of you owe time and I

thought tonight would be a good

COBB:

(erupting)

No way, Mister Beck! No

f***ing way! We just did a

full shift, you can't call

Shack duty on top of a full

shift. It's a contract violation!
