Phil grabs Duke by his shirt collar and head-butts him then rolls over so he is on top of Duke. Close-up on Phil as he is about to punch Duke again but pepper spray gets sprayed in his eyes and he steps back to cover his face while crying out in pain. Cut to a shot of Duke, Phil, and Lana where Lana is standing over the others pointing the can of pepper spray at Phil. Duke stands back up.)

DUKE

(Lana cuts Duke off by spraying him in the face. Now Duke is covering his eyes as well.)

DUKE

DANNY

VENOM

DUKE

VENOM

People call me Venom.

LANA

That can’t be your real name.
