TONY ESPINO DENTIST V1.1 ORIGINAL DRAFT 6/8/15

INT. DENTIST OFFICE – DAY

BETSY is waiting in the room when her DENTIST enters.

DENTIST
Alright Betsy hop up on this chair
right here, and we’ll take a look
at those teeth for ya.

Betsy gets in the chair and the Dentist looks in her mouth.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Hmmm…interesting. Didn’t brush
too good this morning, huh?

BETSY
I just ate lunch not too long ago.
Sorry.

DENTIST
Mmm…lunch. I’m starving myself.

Dentist puts a giant magnifying glass up to her mouth.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Just a little bit food stuck in
this tooth here. Let’s just get
that out of there.

He pulls out a piece of food and throws it aside.

BETSY
I’m sorry. So embarrassing.

DENTIST
Just doing my job.
(beat)
Looks like you got a bit of a ham
and cheese sandwich in here.

He removes it from her teeth.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
There we go.

He pops it in his mouth and eats it.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Mmm….not bad. Jewish deli on
Cloverdale?

BETSY
Ummm…yeah.

DENTIST
Good choice. Best meats. Hold still
I see something else.

He pulls out more food from her teeth and eats it.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
They gave you fries?! I always get
a bunch of soggy chips.

BETSY
I paid extra. But I mean is this
part of a normal–

DENTIST
Wait! Open up. What do you have
here?

He pulls out some more food from her teeth and smells it.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Cheesecake? I usually get the
cannoli but–

He pops it in his mouth and eats it then takes a step back in
surprise.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Ok! That’s something else right
there. I’m a fan.

BETSY
This seems a little weird you’re
just eating the food out of my
teeth.

DENTIST
Well I mean you’re not using it are
you?

BETSY
No…I guess I’m not.

DENTIST
Right. Then let’s finish your
cleaning.

He grabs a fork and starts digging into her teeth.

DENTIST (CONT’D)
Can someone grab me some ketchup?!
