We still need to turn you in if we want to get inside it anytime soon. We have something very, very important there.
VENOM
Whoa! Slow down there. If the fuzz finds out for sure that any drugs were there it could be months before they clear out. ‘Owever if they catch another lead then they’ll leave you alone.
DUKE
What are you suggesting?
VENOM
You got a mobile on you?
(Duke reaches up into his pocket and pulls out his cellphone then hands it to Venom. Venom dials a number into the phone then speaks into it with a proper British accent.)
VENOM
(Clears throat.) Hello, dear. Would you be kind enough to connect me with a police officer? I’d like to leave an anonymous tip. (Pause) Yes, that sounds lovely. (Pause) Right then. There’s a bag of some unethical substance buried just beneath the sand under the boardwalk. It’s none of my business of course but I think it’s been going around. (Pause) That’s right. Near that run-down looking restaurant. (Pause) Right, off you go then. Ta Ta.
(Venom hangs up, throws the phone on the ground, and stomps on it. She returns to her normal speaking voice.)
DUKE
What’d you do that for!
VENOM
You don’t want the government spying on you all the time do you? Anyway, just give em a couple of ‘ours and then your ‘ouse should be clear. Meanwhile, poor ol’ Venom is out a grand. Now, do we still feel the need to arrest the Beddable British Babe?
DUKE
We’re good. But can somebody help me down now?
INT. – DISCIPLE’S LAIR – AFTERNOON
(Scene opens on a close-up of a table as the stone map is dropped unceremoniously on top of it. Zoom out to show Jasmine sitting and the Mistress standing at the table.)
JASMINE
Is that what I think it is?
MISTRESS
(Smirks) Are you ready to save the world?
(Fade to black.)
INT. – OBLEX’S STUDY – NIGHT
(Scene opens with a full shot of Duke, Wilt, Lana, and Venom all standing in the living room. Lana is placing her newly purchased naked man statue on the coffee table.)
WILT
Thank god everything is still here.
DUKE
So Venom, are you going to be staying here another night?
