Do I know you?
DANNY
Not likely. (To Lana) I made this guy my strongest drink the other day. I call it the “Dionysian Ritual”, because it often reveals the truth. If you know what I mean.
LANA
What’s in it?
DANNY
Sorry. House secret. Probably not a good idea to start with that one anyway. Ol’ Wilt here took one shot of it and he was done. That reminds me. Did you get around to telling off that douchebag who dragged you on vacation with him?
(Duke loudly makes his way up to the bar and puts his arm around Wilt.)
DUKE
Dude! Did you see that babe that was just onstage?
WILT
(To Danny) No.
DUKE
Well she was like a 10! Well, Maybe a 9.5. Gotta leave some room just in case I find someone hotter.
WILT
Duke, I think this is the bartender that the guy at the airport was talking about.
DANNY
Yeah, that’s probably me. I know everyone around here. Well it doesn’t exactly take long to get to know everyone on an island but you know what I mean. Anyway, the names Daniel. Or Danny, or Dan. Some folks just call me D.
LOCAL
(From off-screen) Hey D! We need another round over here!
(Danny gestures for them to wait then walks off-screen to get drinks for some of the locals.)
WILT
Duke, we should really start asking this guy about the Heart of Aphrodite.
LANA
Please don’t tell me that he’s got you in on this whole thing too.
WILT
Uh… no. We just want to know about it for… archaeological purposes.
(Duke is about to butt in but the stagehand interrupts him before he can talk.)
STAGEHAND
Excuse me. Ms. Selene requests that you meet her in her dressing room.
