Sure, I’ll crash here just for tonight.
(Scene fades out as Wilt drops his suitcase and starts getting into his bed.)
EXT. BOARDWALK – MORNING
(Scene opens on an establishing shot of a beach on the coast of Lágnos. Then cut to a tracking shot of Duke and Wilt walking on a crowded boardwalk on that beach. Wilt is holding his forehead in discomfort.)
WILT
Uugh. There isn’t enough Greek Aspirin in the world.
DUKE
Exactly how much do you remember from last night?
WILT
I’m pretty sure I went to check out that bar that the obnoxious airport salesman told us about… Then I was talked into drinking… something strong.
DUKE
And then?
WILT
Then I woke up and have been in hangover hell ever since.
DUKE
(Laughing) This is so much more fun when it happens to you.
(Duke and Wilt suddenly stop with the camera facing them. The camera turns to show the Mistress standing in front of them then focuses on the Mistress. Most of the crowd is gone now and there are only a few people off in the background.)
MISTRESS
Duke Butchmann. We need to talk.
(There is an awkward pause as the camera cuts to a full shot to show all three of them.)
DUKE
Who are you?
MISTRESS
You may address me as Mistress just as my subordinates do.
WILT
(Recognizing the purple cloak.) What do you want?
(Cut to a point of view shot from the roof of a nearby building. The Mistress can be heard talking from far off as all three are being observed.)
MISTRESS
It has come to my attention that you are looking for something that my organization desires. If you continue to pursue this artifact then I’m afraid that would make you something of, (Pause) an obstacle.
(The person watching sets his sights on Duke. A gunshot is heard. Cut to a shot of Duke gripping his shoulder and crying out in pain.)
