EVENING
10PM GUNSMOKE - Western, 1 hr.
Doc and Chester get in a contentious argument concerning whether Miss Kitty would accept barter for services rendered.

GUNSMOKE

"Tit for Tat"

 

DAY, INT: JAIL HOUSE

CHESTER AND DOC ARE IN A HEATED DEBATE.

CHESTER

I say she would.

DOC

I say she wouldn't!

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.
