FLOWERS IN THE DESERT
PART 5
PART 5
SARGE
What was that all about?
SAM
What do you mean?
SARGE
Why did you go and pick on her like that?
SAM
(Looks away)
I wasn't...
SARGE
Yes, you were. And you're going to make up for it.
SAM
How?
SARGE
You're going to become Jamie's best pal while she's here.
SAM
But Sarge...
SARGE
She can even stay in your room.
SAM
What? Roommates with Shelly AND the geekazoid?
SARGE
No. I will give in on that point. Shelly will move in with Tina. And if you're nice to Jamie the whole time she's here then Shelly stays with Tina when Jamie leaves.
SAM
What if Jamie never goes?
SARGE
She won't be staying that long.
SAM
Oh, that's right. She has a family to go home to.
SARGE
Just a mother and a sister.
SAM
That's more than I have.
SARGE
Will you do it?
SAM
(Pause. Thinks about it)
Sure. Why not? Anything to get rid of Shelly.
SARGE
(Tries to give SAM a hug)
You're a good kid, Sandpaper.
SAM
(Squirms)
I know.
SARGE
After morning devotions, show her around.
SAM
Does that mean no chores?
SARGE
Don't push it, Sam.
SAM
Don't worry, I will.
