DAY, INT: JAIL HOUSE
CHESTER AND DOC ARE IN A HEATED DEBATE.
CHESTER
DOC
CHESTER
Well, I once heard her tell a customer that she wished he would bring
her a new dress. If that wasn't not a blatant hint, I'll give it up!
DOC
You fool! There's a difference between a business expense and a
not-so-veiled hint to barter.
(beat)
Chester? I thought you had more on the ball than this.
CHESTER
Doc, are you calling me dumb? Cause if you are, I don't take too kindly
to that kind of talk.
DOC
Not only do I think you're a boob but I think you're a gimp boob!
CHESTER
That's it! Them is fighting words!
DOC
Them is fighting words? Chester, settle down. Let's
continue to debate, western style, Miss Kitty's business practices.
What say?
CHESTER
Doc, you old coot! You were just getting me riled up! I ought to
pop you for that.
DOC
But you won't, will you? No, you're too much of an icon of this
western melodrama to get bounced for assaulting a physician, right?
CHESTER
Doc, you're quick. I'll have to give it to you.
DOC SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF.
