EXT. AIRPORT ENTRANCE – MORNING
(Scene opens on a shot of the sky on a clear and sunny day. The camera scrolls down and the front of an airport comes into view somewhere in the distance. Once the airport is completely in view two purple clocked figures step into the foreground with their backs to the camera.)
JASMINE
So, this is the place?
MISTRESS
Yes. This particular airport is, shall we say, “unequipped” to deal with us and is a far enough distance from the police station to avoid any interference from law enforcement. Provided we get in and out in a timely manner of course.
JASMINE
Shall we begin?
MISTRESS
No, we’ll wait for the shift change when security is weakest. You should go ahead and take your position now.
JASMINE
Yes, Mistress.
(Jasmine begins to walk toward the building but the Mistress puts her hand on her shoulder to stop her.)
MISTRESS
And Jasmine, don’t warn anyone this time. I’ll not have your compassion get in the way of the mission again.
JASMINE
Of course. (Sigh) I don’t envy whoever is unfortunate enough to be down there.
(Fade into next scene.)
INT. NEW JERSEY AIRPORT – MORNING
(Scene opens on an establishing shot of a crowded airport. Large groups of people are moving from place to place and difficult to understand announcements are being delivered over the intercom. Cut to a small clearing in the sea of people close to the airport’s entrance. Duke bursts through the entrance doors excitedly while an un-amused Wilt closely follows. Camera focuses in on the two characters.)
DUKE
Here we are! Good ol’ New Jersey airport.
WILT
(Un-amused) Hurray.
DUKE
You can at least pretend to be excited. Think of it less like a life-threatening quest for an artifact that may or may not actually exist and more like… A vacation!
