    Questions and Answers

     

    James: Hey boss.

     

    Bette: James, what can I do for you?

     

    James: Just wanted you to know that the pieces you ordered arrived this afternoon while you were gone. Theyve been unpacked and checked for damages. Theyre in storage at the warehouse, like you wanted.

     

    Bette: Perfect. (Pauses) You know James, Im really glad to have you around here. Youre a harder worker and I appreciate the effort youve put out for this show.

     

    James: (shyly) I just try to live by your example, boss.  Theres something to be said for getting the job right the fist time around.

     

    Bette: And a lot less expensive too. I heard that MOCA might not get their show off on time because of a shipping error.  Apparently a few of their main pieces were shipped to New York by mistake. And itll take days to figure out exactly where those particular crates are located.

     

    James: Its nice to be prepared ahead of time.(pauses)AnywayI was wondering, if maybe I could leave an hour early. My boyfriends father is in the hospital. He had a heart attack this morning and Id likeBette?

     

    Bette, who had a noticeably faraway look on her face, quickly jerked back when she recognized her name.

     

    Bette: What?

     

    James: Are you okay? You looked like you were a million miles away just now.

     

    Bette: No, Im fine. Just a really long day, you know? (pauses) You were saying?

     

    James: Well I wanted to leave early to go to the hospital. You know, for supportScotts mom isnt taking it all very well. It kind of happened out of the blue. He never had any prior problems with his health, so theyre pretty shocked about the whole thing.

     

    Bette looks at the clock on the wall. Its four-thirty and shes been back from the doctors office for over an hour now. She looked at the piles of unfinished paperwork on her desk.  The C.A.C. closed at 6 today, and she had a chance of finishing if she had James with her to help. But

     

    Bette: Why dont you just take the rest of the afternoon offthat way you wont have to fight traffic trying to get there later on?

    6. you and cliffhangers…so Bette told Melvin off. I wouldhave loved to see that on the show during the 1st season. So I guess there’s more to Bette’s health than stress. Don’t make her too sick, but if you do, then let Tina provide TLC.
      Glad to hear ‘classic Bette’ is coming back. Helena’s gonna get it!
