"The Dentist"

Synopsis: Beware, lest your sins will find you out! A young man tries to pull a fast one on Fiancée's Father, only to have it backfire on him. Time: Approx 20 minutes

At Rise: Nurse is looking at charts, Eddie is cleaning, emptying trashcan, dusting, etc.

Eddie:  Have I shown you my new picture of Lisa? (shows nurse picture of his girl)

Nurse: (looks at pix) Oh isn't she pretty, you're really crazy about this one aren't you?

Eddie: Oh yes, she's the one. I've proposed and she's accepted.

Nurse: How are you getting along with her father, he's one of the richest men in town?

Eddie: Oh he's an ogre! He doesn't think I'm good enough for his daughter, but I've got him fooled.

Nurse: What do you mean? Fooled about what?

Eddie: Well I knew he would never let me even date Lisa, if he thought I wasn't a professional. So I told him, that I owned this office. (laughs) He thinks that I'm a real dentist. I really pulled one over on old moneybags.

Nurse: (laughs too) Well I hope he doesn't find out that you're just a janitor here, and not really a dentist. That would really spoil your chances at marrying his daughter.

Eddie: How could he find out. I'll just play it a little longer. After Lisa and I have eloped, what can he do about it?

Nurse: (looks at watch) I wonder why Dr. White is so late, most of our early patients are already waiting. (phone rings) Dr.White's office. Oh it's you Dr White, I was just wondering.Oh .. I see. well, but. okay,  bye Dr.

Eddie:  That was Dr. White, what's up?

Nurse: Yes, he's had a flat tire and is waiting for Triple A. He said to call in the first three patients and get them sedated, he should be in soon.

Eddie: (jokingly) Maybe I should put on his coat and help out, (laughs) they'd never know.

Nurse: No, not until the Novocaine wore off, and they filed their lawsuits. (both laugh) Well here goes.(Eddie walks away, Nurse starts to EXIT when a man enters, holding jaw, and moaning loudly) May I help you, sir?

 Eddie has put on a Dr. coat hanging on a rack, picks up instruments, and is fooling around, doesn't pay attention, until he hears the MAN'S voice.

Worthington: I need to see the dentist, right now! He's friends with my daughter. He's always telling me what a great dentist he is, well tell him Oscar Worthington is here. And hurry I'm in pain.

Nurse: But sir, there are patients before you, the doctor is not..

Worthington:  None of them are in the pain that I am young lady, now take me to the doctor. I tell you he'll see me...
