SCENE 35

SCENE 35-EXT.-Adonis's front door and INT.-Foyer. Night.
Becca and Derek walk up to the front door of Adonis's
two-story house. It's not a mansion. Just a big, expensive
house in an affluent subdivision in Central San Antonio.
Becca rings the doorbell.
Derek: This guy lives here by himself?
Becca: Nope. He has a housekeeper named Abigail and a
pet Beagle named Red Baron. And countless fish.
Abigail opens the door. She's a tall twenty-year-
old blonde from London. Is wearing pigtail braids
and an Incredible Hulk t-shirt and cut-offs.
Abigail: Hello, you crazy girl. Welcome to the 
crazy fucking party. This is Derek, I assume?
Becca: Yes. Derek, this is Abigail.
Derek: You're the housekeeper?
Becca and Derek enter the foyer and Abigail closes the
door and locks all five locks.
Abigail: Yes. I keep this house. And that's where it
ends, I assure you.
Derek: Where is everyone? Where's the music?
Becca: The party is always down in the basement. The
rec room.
Abigail: I'm going back to my movie and my company.
Derek, it was a pleasure to meet you. Becca, be 
careful down there.
Becca: You know me. Caution is my middle name.
Abigail: Yeah, right.
