Do you want me to-
MISTRESS
No, you’re still not ready. I’ll find someone else. I just pray that it’s still there.
INT. – MAIN TEMPLE – MIDDAY
(Scene opens with a full shot of the relic room from one of the temples. The priestess is busy organizing old vases, talismans, etc., around when she hears Lana come in. She scowls as Lana walks over carrying a briefcase. Duke and Wilt follow carrying a tarp. Duke appears to be in even worse shape than before.)
PRIESTESS
(Unenthused) Oh. You’re here. I’ve set aside some relics for you to perform your heresy on. There are a few more in the other room.
(The Priestess walks off-screen. Duke and Wilt lay down the tarp. Lana opens her briefcase, puts on disposable gloves, and picks up a nearby vase. Cut to a one shot of Lana with the vase.)
LANA
Hello there, beautiful. Mind if we just skip straight to third vase?
(Lana looks over at Duke and Wilt expecting them to laugh. Cut to a medium shot of the two showing that they are not laughing. Cut to a shot of all three.)
LANA
Screw you guys. That was hilarious!
(Lana begins taking her tools out of the briefcase and using them to examine the vase. Duke leans against the wall, noticeably out of breath. Wilt tries to help Duke back up but Duke pushes him away.)
DUKE
I’m just a little hungry, that’s all. Why did we have to walk all the way here?
WILT
When was the last time you ate?
DUKE
I don’t know. When did we have pancakes?
(The shot widens as the priestess walks in carrying a box of stuff. Wilt looks like he is about to say something to Duke but Duke’s phone rings drawing his attention. His ringtone has changed.)
PHONE
Where is the home for me? O Cyprus, set in the sea…
DUKE
(Completely transfixed) I’ve got to take this.
(Duke exits off-screen to go and answer his phone. The priestess watches with great interest.)
PRIESTESS
Those symptoms look pretty familiar. Too bad everything in my religion is just a silly myth.
(Worried, Wilt runs over to the priestess. Cut to a medium shot of the two.)
WILT
