LABRADORITE
INTERIOR-THE PLANET-AFTERNOON
ALICE
So do you know what you’re going to do?
BETTE takes a bite of her salad, stalling. After she chews and swallows:
BETTE
About what?
ALICE
Don’t be cute. About you know who?
BETTE
Oh, yes. You know who. Honestly, I’m not sure. I know that I love her and she loves me, but…I don’t know if it’s a good idea. So much history there.
ALICE
You can’t keep her waiting in suspense forever.
BETTE
I don’t expect that she’s waiting for me to make a decision, Alice.
ALICE
You don’t know that.
BETTE
We both know that it’s highly unlikely. (beat) Do you know something?
ALICE
(unconvincing) No.
BETTE
You know something, don’t you?
ALICE
I only know as much as you do. She’s not really talking about it, yet.
SHANE enters.
ALICE
There’s Shane.
BETTE
I gotta run…I’m going to be late for my meeting.
BETTE takes a few more bites of her salad, grabs her bag, and heads out of The Planet in a rush. On her way out:
BETTE
Hey, Shane.
SHANE
Hey, Bette.
BETTE
I’m running.
SHANE
It’s cool. See ypu later.
EXTERIOR-CAMPUS-LATER THAT DAY
BETTE freshens her lipstick in the vanity mirror, grabs her bags, and exits the car, locks it. Turn around and is startled by JENNY who has been standing there for a good while since BETTE parked.
BETTE
(startled) Jesus Jenny! What the fuck? How long have you been standing there?
JENNY
I need to talk to you.
BETTE
(somewhat cold) What?
JENNY
I need to talk to you about Tina.
BETTE
What about Tina?
JENNY
Clearly, whatever’s going on between you two is beginning to affect her work. And that just will not do. I’m trying to make a movie here.
BETTE
(annoyed) Jenny, Tina is a big girl. And I am certainly no obstacle to her work performance. It looks to me that she has bent over backwards to make this work with you. I can assure you that whatever problems you’re having at work have nothing to do with me.
JENNY
Then what were you arguing about when you visited the set yesterday?
BETTE
That’s none of your business. Is there anything else because I have a meeting in ten minutes that I need to prepare for?

What an intriguing setup: I’m hooked! Your dialogue is wonderfully believable and Jenny is a hoot, although as an animal lover I’m a bit worried about the well-being of her dog.
Well, the least one can say is you got us all pretty intrigued. I really wonder what may have happened between Bette and… Who was it actually ? How frustrating !! Anyways, this is indeed a very interesting and promising start. I just think it’s a shame the chapter is so short. You’d better not make us wait forever for another update, Cm4it. Thank you very much for sharing this story with us. I have a feeling I’m going to love this.
CME, what a great start. Well this sure has me hooked already. B&S together this is going to be great!!!! Thanks PPVS
I knew it! Bette and Shane. Am I right? Good beginning…..PPS
Alright Cme!! Great start. I’m intrigued, but will not even attempt to guess the what….although my mind kept screaming: What is it?!! lol You have a nice setup for almost anything. Thanks for getting us going on and for sharing….PPS
