bit tired today

He walk near Betty until his hand touches Betty’s butt
Oh Betty I am so sorry. I didn't mean to
BETTY
i am so sick of this guy. When will he stop (​ thinking in her head)
That’s ok.

Betty is running out of patients, so she is going into Johnny’s room to tell all the things that have
happened to her.
JOHNNY
Oh Hi Betty! What makes you here?
BETTY
So listen…. I know that I have not worked here for a long time. But the past 20 days that I have
worked here I think there is a guy who always tries to touch my body and the way he looks and
me is very weird. I don’t feel safe at all.
JOHNNY
Oh Betty. I think you are over thinking. Maybe it is his personality. Just don’t focus on it.
Concentrate with your work!
BETTY
No, I mean It is not normal. What kind of a person who always tries to touch others’ butts?
JOHNNY
Same suggestion. LET IT GO. Many interns have told me this and I did not see anything happen
yet?
BETTY
FINE

Betty walks out of Johnny’s room and call Andrew


ANDREW
Hi Betty. Why are you calling? It's work time.
BETTY
Andrew. I don’t feel great, can you walk me home?
ANDREW
Sure Betty. See you down stairs

ANDREW
Are you sure you don’t want to take a train? It’s a very long way.
BETTY
YES. I don’t feel great Andrew. Can you walk with me? PLEASE??
ANDREW
Ok x3
But you are going to tell me What happened?
BETTY
There is a guy. In my building. He…
ANDREW
He what?
BETTY
He always tries to touch my body. The way he looks, smiles, or talks; it makes me wanna cry.
ANDRREW
JESUS BETTY. Why don’t you tell me this earlier?? By the way, I have something to tell you
too. So… I….
BETTY
What Andrew?
ANDREW
I am going to tell you too that there is an old woman at my building who always touches my
lower body too. I feel very bad. I have told Johnny, but he told me that I am over thinking. I am
shy to tell you because I am a man. I have to be strong.
He starts to cry
