ENT

Ahh... Hold on... I think my acid's kickin' in...

Ent gets up and exits the bedroom.

INT. PENTHOUSE 1 CORRIDOR / BATHROOM - NIGHT

He turns left and makes his way through the corridor into the bathroom. He shuts the door behind him.

He runs some faucet water to wash his face, and stares at himself in the mirror, free of illusions. It all hits him at once. He fucking made it.

A knock at the door. He doesn't notice.

A couple girls barge in, laughing, unaware that the man of the hour was inside.

SAPPHIRE

Oh, I'm--...

She recognizes him, stricken.

VALERIE

Oh--... Oh, holy--... You're... E-N-T, aren't you...?

Ent wipes his face and turns to them, unsure of what to say.

VALERIE

Um...

She looks over at Sapphire premiscuously.

VALERIE

I'm Valerie, and this... is Sapphire.

Sapphire shoots her a look and laughs, embarrassed.

SAPPHIRE

(razor-like whisper)

Stop...!

She looks back at Ent as he steps closer. Valerie smiles.

VALERIE

And she... is your BIGGEST fan...

SAPPHIRE

(razor-like whisper)

Shut up...!

She looks back at him nervously. He can hear her breath.

VALERIE

(like telling a secret)

And she gives the BEST top...

Sapphire takes a very annoyed, nervous breath. She sees him staring at her, his intrigue.

SAPPHIRE

... What...?

Ent approaches, mesmerized.

OFF-SCREEN:

EXT. THEME PARK - NIGHT

SAPPHIRE

What, you've never been on one before?!

ENT

Nope...!
