(Camera turns to show Aphrodite hovering in the middle of the bar while everyone but Duke hides under tables. Loose objects are getting blown around the room. Duke looks to either side noticing that he is all alone now.)
DUKE
Hey baby. I meant to call but-
APHRODITE
SILENCE!
DUKE
Sure thing.
APHRODITE
You rejected me and NOBODY does that! I’ll give you one chance to repent for your actions or you will feel the full extent of my wrath!
DUKE
Look babe, you’re really pretty and all but I can’t let myself be tied down to one chick. Y’know what I mean?
(The sound of Aphrodite’s response is so forceful that it messes up Duke’s hair and almost knocks him back.)
APHRODITE
SHUT UP! I hereby curse you Duke Butchmann. No matter how far you run, no matter where you hide, you will never escape your doomed fate.
(Aphrodite claps her hands together sending out a shockwave that throws Duke to the floor and shatters all of the glass in the bar. All of the people who were hiding come back out to see that she has disappeared. Everyone recollects themselves as the door opens and Katie enters. She carefully steps around the broken glass and walks up to the counter where Wilt and Duke were talking. Wilt is standing looking shocked and confused and Duke is still on the ground.)
KATIE
What happened here?
WILT
Um…
(Duke stands up brushing shards of glass and dust off of his shoulders while trying to make himself look cool.)
DUKE
Some thugs came in and tried to trash the place. I taught them a lesson.
(Camera zooms in on Katie’s eyes and they twinkle to show Aphrodite’s spell taking effect, and then zooms back out.)
KATIE
Wow! (Giggle) My hero.
(Wilt rolls his eyes and Duke puts his arm around Katie. The sound cuts out but you can tell Duke is buying her a drink and the scene fades out.)
EXT. SIDEWALK – LATER THAT DAY
(Duke and Wilt are walking home from the bar. Duke is admiring a piece of paper but Wilt is looking concerned.)
DUKE
Had kind of a slow start today but I ended up with three numbers. How many did you get Wilt?
