EVENING
10PM GUNSMOKE - Western, 1 hr.
Matt falls for a cute travelling side show assistant.

GUNSMOKE

"A Bird in the Hand"

 

INT: JAIL HOUSE

KITTY MARCHES OVER TO THE JAIL HOUSE WHERE SHE FINDS MATT AND CHESTER KICKED BACK ASLEEP.

KITTY

Matt! Wake up, Matt! Chester!

MATT AND CHESTER SLOWLY AWAKEN FROM THEIR SIESTAS.

KITTY

Matt, what's this I hear about you putting the move on that woman from Dr. Feelgood's show? Please tell me it isn't true!

MATT

Well, I wish I could tell you I'm innocent, but I can't. And I'm not.

(beat)

Yes, I did go over and see her the other night.

KITTY
(Kitty huffs.)

Well! Of all the dirty deals you've ever done, this is the worst! Sneaking off behind my back and making time with another woman! And a stranger, too!

MATT
(smirking)

A stranger she's not. Now.

KITTY

I heard that! Matt, I thought you and I had something going. Albeit discrete, I thought our little talks and pleasantries when we see each other in the Long Branch were enough for you. I see now that they weren't. You need more.

MATT

Amen!

KITTY

I heard that too! Suppose I agree to not only give you discounts at the bar but smile at you once in a while, even when no one's looking? Will that satisfy you?

MATT WINKS AT CHESTER.

MATT

Yeah. But how much of a discount?

KITTY

How about 50 percent off?

MATT

How about 100 percent off?

KITTY

Will you be my man then?

MATT WINKS AT CHESTER AGAIN.

MATT

Ok. And when I'm not around, Chester can be your man. You know. Keep it all going to us jail folk.

KITTY
(seductively teased)

Matt, that crude talk is getting me turned on! Suppose you and go over to the Long Branch and I get you one of those free drinks now? I think you would enjoy a tin roof.

MATT

A tin roof?

KITTY

You know. It's on the house!

ALL YUK IT UP AT THE OLD WEST HUMOR.

KITTY

Ok. Let's go.

MATT

Kitty, I'm just putting you on. I'm not giving up my other honey no matter how many free drinks and smiles you hand over.

KITTY

Well! I guess I see where I stand! Ok Matt Dillon. You just keep on visiting that woman! But you just better hope you never need a stiff belt, cause I'm the keeper of the booze around here!

Or did you forget that?!

MATT

Chester, show Miss Kitty.

CHESTER HOBBLES OVER TO THE CLOSET AND OPENS THE DOOR TO REVEAL CASES OF WHISKEY AND OTHER SPRITS.

MATT

Now, beat it Kitty!
