(Disinterested) Yeah. I’ve just been killing time since I got here.

STORE CLERK

Well you can always try out the island’s waterpark. You know they just got a new roller coaster? The Rabid Monsoon!

VENOM

Give me a break. I get wetter at a strip club than I got on that lousy ride.

STORE CLERK

(Awkward) Oh. I’ll just leave you to it then.

(A store bell chimes. Cut to a full shot of the store as Duke and Lana enter and approach Venom. Cut to a shot of Duke, Lana, and Venom.)

VENOM

‘Ey guys. You really need to try some of the tourist attractions they ‘ave set up ‘ere.

LANA

We’ve been a little preoccupied lately. For some reason the police are standing guard outside our house. (Accusatory) I don’t suppose you’d know anything about that?

VENOM

Um… Think fast!

(Venom underhand tosses the statue at Lana then dashes for the exit. Lana catches the statue and Duke covers his face making it easy for Venom to escape. Cut to outside the antique shop entrance where Wilt is standing guard. Venom runs out of the entrance and Wilt catches her. Venom slips out of her jacket and continues past Wilt leaving him confused and holding the empty jacket. Lana comes running out of the exit with Duke limping behind.)

DUKE

Damn it Wilt! You had one job!

(Wilt drops the jacket. Duke, Wilt, and Lana all run off-screen.)

EXT. – DOWNTOWN LÁGNOS – AFTERNOON

(Cut to a tracking shot of Venom running down a street in downtown Lágnos. Cut to a full shot as Wilt and Lana round the corner with Duke hobbling closely behind. Cut back to the tracking shot as Venom runs past a shopkeeper sweeping the front steps of his shop. Venom snatches the broom out of his hands. Cut to a shot of a chain-link fence. Venom uses the broom to pole-vault over it and lands on her feet on the other side. Cut to a shot of Duke, Wilt, and Lana.)

WILT

Are you serious!?!

(Duke gets angry and runs ahead of the others causing his leg wound to bleed slightly. Cut back to the fence. Duke runs and attempts to jump over it. He makes it most of the way but his belt gets caught on top of the fence causing Duke to flip over the side and get stuck upside down. Duke slides partway out of his pants leaving Venom’s panties exposed. Cut to a shot showing both sides of the fence as Venom stands triumphantly in front of Duke. Wilt and Lana catch up and stand on the other side of the fence.)

VENOM

Pink lace looks good on you. Very tasteful.

DUKE

I am hereby putting you under a citizen’s arrest!

VENOM

You’re not a citizen ‘ere. Besides, whatever you found at the ‘ouse wasn’t mine. I was just… ‘olding it for a friend.

WILT
