MISTRESS
You mean create a perfect world without war or destruction? A world without pain or suffering?
ESAU
Is that what you tell the other disciples?
(The Mistress gets offended and dashes up close to Esau. The camera cuts to a close-up showing the upper bodies of the Mistress and Esau. The Mistress has a knife pressed up against Esau’s throat. Esau shows true fear for the first time as the knife grazes his neck and a drop of blood falls.)
MISTRESS
I tell them what they need to know. Now tell me what I need to know.
ESAU
I don’t actually know where the heart is!
MISTRESS
Wrong answer.
ESAU
There’s a map! In the museum they’re holding an artifact that’s supposed to reveal the location of the heart. At first I thought it was a fake. No one has been able to decipher it completely but I recognized the craftsmanship. It was made by the god Hephaestus himself!
(Cut back to a medium shot as the Mistress lowers her knife away from Esau’s throat. Esau breathes a sigh of relief.)
MISTRESS
That’s better.
EXT. – BEACH – NOON
(Scene opens on a shot of the changing tent from earlier. Wilt walks inside carrying a backpack. Cut to a full shot inside of the tent as Wilt enters. He sets the backpack down on a nearby bench, opens it, and pulls out a pair of swimming trunks. He puts the trunks back down on the bench then starts to unbutton his shirt. Cut to a one shot showing him from the waist up as he undresses. As he lowers his pants the camera turns to show Jasmine standing behind him.)
JASMINE
You shouldn’t have come here.
(Wilt jumps from being startled and spins around to see who’s behind him. Cut to a medium shot of Wilt and Jasmine.)
WILT
Is this going to be a regular thing with you!
JASMINE
Relax. I wasn’t, (Lowers her gaze downward and bits her lip a little.) looking.
(Wilt follows her gaze and then remembering that he is naked quickly grabs his trunks off of the bench and holds them in front of him.)
WILT
Who are you? Why do we keep running into women in purple cloaks?
JASMINE
We are the disciples of Aphrodite and we are tasked with spreading peace and love throughout the world. The woman that you saw this morning was our leader.
