Tough Love: Episode 3

LANA

(Awkward) Yeah.

DUKE

(To Lana) So how’d you end up with the Greek Santa Claus here?

LANA

Remember when I said that I wanted to be an archeologist?

DUKE

Of course! You used to talk about it all the time back in… uh… archeology class?

LANA

(Sigh) Of course you wouldn’t. Well to accommodate your small attention span I’ll just say that now I am one. And after years of waiting I finally got the chance to come out here and work with Professor Oblex. You might say that he has a larger intellect.

OBLEX

Yes! Lágnos has a very rich history but until recently no one was allowed to dig or study in its sacred ruins. Since the island is small and lesser known than some larger ruin sites we are actually the first ones with the chance to really explore it!

LANA

Which we really should be getting back to.

OBLEX

Alright, but you two feel free to stop by and visit us in my study over on second street. It’s the building with the red roof.

(Lana and Oblex exit. Cut to a medium shot of Duke and Wilt. Once they are alone they look at each other in disbelief.)

DUKE

So… Lana’s here.

WILT

Yeah. That’s a thing. (Getting up to leave.) I need some air.

INT. – BEACHSIDE RESTAURANT – MORNING

(Scene opens on an establishing shot of the inside of the restaurant. It looks like it hasn’t been used in a while and no one can be seen inside during this shot. Esau can be heard talking to his henchmen off-screen.)

ESAU

Keep your guard up. She’ll be here any minute now I’m sure of it.

(Cut to a shot of the restaurant’s entrance as the doors fly open and the Mistress steps inside.)

MISTRESS

Good Morning Esau.

(Cut to a full shot of

the room as Esau enters from the kitchen.)
