Nurse Betty Page #5

Synopsis: What happens when a person decides that life is merely a state of mind? If you're Betty, a small-town waitress and soap opera fan from Fair Oaks, Kansas, you refuse to believe that you can't be with the love of your life just because he doesn't really exist. After all, life is no excuse for not living. Traumatized by a savage event, Betty enters into a fugue state that allows -- even encourages -- her to keep functioning... in a kind of alternate reality.

6 INT. TIP TOP DINER - KITCHEN - SAME TIME 6

THREE WAITRESSES, along with the DISHWASHER and TWO COOKS are

standing in a row waiting for her.

BETTY:

... alright, I get it, no more TV.

Sorry.

No one moves, then DARLENE leads them in a huge SURPRISE!

They produce a life-size cardboard cut-out of Dr. David

Ravell, who looks dashing in his green hospital scrubs.

Betty backs up in disbelief.

BETTY (cont'd)

Oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing!

Where did you ever find this?

DARLENE:

On the goddamn internet, where else?

BETTY:

You're joking...

WAITRESS #1

... nope, got him at "T.V. Hunks with

Sweet Little Asses.Com."

WAITRESS #2

Seventy-five dollars...

COOK #1

... Seventy-eight fifty.

(everyone looks at him)

8.

Well, I paid for the damn thing, I oughta

know.

WAITRESS #2

C'mon, Betty! Pose with him!

Betty laughs and puts her arm around the cardboard man. A

flash photo is taken. A cupcake with a single candle is

placed in her hands.

DARLENE:

One candle... uh-oh, you're getting up

there! Doesn't David like 'em young?

BETTY:

I'm over the hill, what can I say?

Darlene gives Betty an envelope with cash showing.

WAITRESS #1

A little something for those nursing

classes you've been wanting to take...

DARLENE:

... but keep putting off thanks to a

certain husband we won't mention...
