LAUREL:

Oh honey, welcome back!

She throws her arms around Georges to give him a kiss, but he

pushes her away, turns aside to SNEEZE.

LAUREL:

Are you all right?

GEORGES:

My allergies. I thought you were getting rid ofthat vile dog of yours.

GEORGES plucks a long DOG HAIR from her clothes, holds it upfor her to see, then moves on briskly, down an externalflight of stairs from the helipad to a PENTHOUSE below.

Laurel follows after him, Angel in the rear.

LAUREL:

Georges, when you're gone, Tippy is all I've gotand --I get so lonely.

GEORGES:

So get a bird or a fish, something that doesn'tshed.

(a glance at her)

Have you gained weight?

They head through glass doors into the PENTHOUSE.

INT. AVENAL HQ -PENTHOUSE -DAY

LAUREL protests, examining her body.

LAUREL:

No no, it's muscle --I've been working out, doingmy Tae KwanDo -

She flexes a MUSCLE to demonstrate. GEORGES isn't

interested, looking at the penthouse decor with distaste.

Meanwhile ANGEL moves to an elevator, presses a down buttonand awaits his masters.

The penthouse is a large, dramatic space, decorated in afrilly, Louis XIV style --classical STATUARY of nude

females, ornate DRAPERIES across one wall --there are

LADDERS, cans of paint, a work in progress. A large PORTRAITof LAUREL dominates the room. In one alcove is a MOVIE-STAR

MAKE-UP MIRROR, surrounded by lights.

GEORGES:

What the hell happened here?

CONTINUED:

LAUREL:

I'm doing some redecorating, I've had so much timeon my hands --do you like it?

GEORGES:

No. What's with the curtains?

LAUREL:

Draperies. They soften the space...

GEORGES:

I like hard spaces.

(off her hurt look)

Whatever, Laurel, if it makes you happy. I plan to

be spending more time at the factory, anyway.

He enters the ELEVATOR, Laurel behind, Angel hits the button.

INT. AVENAL HQ -ELEVATOR BANK -DAY

A LARGE GRAPHIC depicts LAUREL and GEORGE together. PATIENCE

curls her lip at this as she presses the DOWN button.

DOORS OPEN to reveal the real LAUREL and GEORGES, startlingPatience a bit, the impassive ANGEL behind them. Patience

takes a half-step forward and hesitates, reluctant to getaboard, frozen in place. The DOORS start to close, then openagain --she's in the way.

GEORGES:

In or out?

PATIENCE meekly steps into the elevator, presses a button forthe lobby, nervously keeping her eyes fixed to the front.

INT. AVENAL HQ -ELEVATOR -DAY

GEORGES leans past her to hit "DOOR CLOSE." Many CAT HAIRSare sprinkled on her clothes, he SNIFFS and stifles a sneeze.

He looks Patience over, and doesn't like what he sees.
