EXT. – CLIFFSIDE TEMPLE ENTRANCE – NIGHT
(Scene opens with an establishing shot of the temple entrance that pans downward until Jasmine, Jade, and the Mistress come into frame. The entrance is in the side of a cliff and covered with moss and vines. It is being illuminated by two torches placed on either side of the door. There are inscriptions written on the door in ancient Greek lettering as well as two keyholes. The camera focuses in on Jasmine, Jade, and the Mistress.)
JADE
Well what the hell are we waiting for? Let’s go inside.
JASMINE
We can’t. It’s sealed shut.
JADE
So? What’s stopping us from smashing our way in?
MISTRESS
The will of the gods.
JADE
Fair enough. How do we get in then?
(The Mistress walks up to the wall and runs her hand across the markings.)
MISTRESS
This gluttonous lock desires two keys. One held by the highest governor, the other by a common man. Only when there is true peace shall the door be opened.
JASMINE
So we have to bring order between the social classes?
MISTRESS
Don’t be absurd. If that were possible then we wouldn’t need the Heart to begin with.
JADE
If the first key is in the hands of the “Highest Governor” then I suggest that we start brushing up on our politics.
(Camera zooms in on the lit torches and then fades into next scene.)
EXT. – CLIFFSIDE TEMPLE ENTRANCE – MORNING
(Scene opens on a close-up of the torches, which have now burned out. The camera zooms out to show Duke, Wilt, Lana, and Professor Oblex standing in front of the temple entrance. Lana and Oblex are inspecting the writing while Duke and Wilt are engaged in a fierce thumb war.)
LANA
Two keys… common man… yada yada… when there is true peace… (Shrugs) something cool will happen.
(Lana walks over to Duke and Wilt who are still too busy to look up from their thumb war.)
