Meanwhile at first the clouds are such that we might think we're looking at Phantasm's smoky mist. But just when we suspect he might appear a wide-body plane bursts through.
We follow the plane as it flies over the cityscape.
I should be landing any minute.
On the plane she sits in her seat talking on the plane's phone. She's a striking, smartly-dressed, brunette-haired woman who wears a locket hanging from a necklace. She gazes out the window as she speaks.
Female: It will be good to see you again Arthur.
At Arthur Reeves's Office he's sitting in his chair in his plush city office, checking himself in a desk mirror.
Reeves: You, too. And don't worry about a thing. We'll clear up these old family finances. Don't forget. You've got a big time city councilman on your side.
Female: I can't believe it's been ten years.
Thinking of.....looking up some old friends?
She frowns a bit as she glances at her lap.
There's a copy of fortune with Bruce Wayne's picture on it along the words: profile: BRUCE WAYNE. She touches his picture gently with her finger tips.
She lies when she says.....
Female: Oh, Arthur, don't start that again. He's...ancient history.
Reeves smiles like a cobra.
Reeves: That's encouraging. Then I'll see you soon.
He smiled.
But back at Wayne Manor to night.
We hear party ambience as we pan 1 down to the Wayne Manor was rebuilt, where cars are pulling up. All the lights are on. Everyone is indistinct chatter. The woman and man were laughing.
Bruce is throwing one of his usual get togethers. All that's missing is her. The camera pans over the smartly dressed guests to three lovely beauties hanging onto Bruce.
