    Kit: (interrupts) Bullshit. ***** Bettethe show isnt
    opening for ten weeksTENthats not a few WEEKS Bette, thats a few MONTHS.
    You cant put this off for that long. You have to make the appointmentyou have
    toyou

     

    Bette heard the hitch in Kits voice and winced. Turning
    around, she was surprised to see tears in her sisters eyes. Kit had always
    been strong.  Even when her father kicked
    her out after learning  that she was
    pregnant, Kit never shed a tear.  To see
    her normally composed sister cryingcrying for herbrought Bette out of her stupor.
    She quickly moved to Kit and enfolded her in a hug.  After a few minutes, she led them both to the
    low couch against the wall and sat down.

     

    Bette: Im sorry. Im sorry that I didnt tell you.

     

    Kit: Were sisters. Were supposed to be there for one another.
    I knowI know that I wasnt always there for you growing up

     

    Bette: (interrupts) Kit, you dont have towere past that.  Youre here now. Thats what counts.

     

    Kit: Look, all Im saying Baby girl, is that I know youre
    having a difficult time and all. But please listen to me. Its importantso
    very importantthat you take care of yourself.

     

    Bette: (sighs) I know.

     

    Kit: So please tell me what Dr. Steward said. What he REALLY
    said.

    indicateda problem.

     

    Kit: (gently) What kind of problem Bette?

     

    Bette: KitIuh I might have cancer.

    Chapter 8

     

    Bette enters The Planet a good ten minutes behind
    schedule.  Her attempts to reach Tina to
    let her know she would be late all ended with Tinas voicemail. She had
    hesitated at the door, afraid to walk in to find that Tina had already given up
    on her and left. Much to her relief, Bette finds Tina sitting at a booth
    towards the back reading through a menu

    She smiles a small, sad smile. That used to be their booth. Marina
    had always made sure to keep that one open for their weekly breakfast with the
    girls. Quickly making her way over, Bette issues a quick hello to Kit who had just
    come out from the back office. Finally arriving at the table, Bette twists her
    hands together nervously as she waits for Tina to notice her.  It seems rather obvious to Bette that Tina
    had seen her come in and was just choosing to let her stew in her own late
    juices. After a moment, however, Tina lowers the menu and looks up. The apology
    that Bette had formed dies on her lips the moment their eyes meet. Bette can
    see so many emotions shining in Tinas eyes. Joy. Pain. Disappointment.
    Hope.  Without a word she settles in
    across from Tina.  Suddenly nervous about
    being alone in Tinas presence after so long, Bette breaks eye contact and
    reaches for the other menu.

    2. Your dialogue is very realistic and easy to read.
      I was squirming in my seat, waiting for Tina to drop the news on Bette. They both have a vital secret to share and they’re both withholding, so much in character and part of their pattern and problem.
