EXT. OUTSIDE THE MINI HOUSE - DAY
MINI (25) is waiting. A taxi pulls over and she jumps with excitement. Ali gets out with a baffled look on his face.
MINI
Oh my God, you're here!
She notices Ali's expression.
MINI
What happened?
ALI
The taxi cost an insane amount!
MINI
Did you hail it from the street?
ALI
Yeah...
MINI
You don't do that in Budapest. You should have called for one.
ALI
Wow. At least I can say I got screwed before Matt did.
MINI
You know with all the stuff you told about him I'd expect him to bang someone on the plane.
ALI
(expressionless) He did. I forgot.
MINI
I've missed you so much! Sorry about the rental.
They start walking towards the Mini House.
ALI
You should have seen how blatantly David picked Matt once we had to split up! He'll never change.
MINI
Don't worry. We've got all the space you need and it'll be so much fun together!
ALI
Did all the bloggers arrive?
MINI
All 10 of us. MiniBlogs is blowing up! We're officially the biggest independent Eurovision website!
ALI
I always knew you'd make it.
MINI
And I know how you are with strangers, but I assure you, we're just a bunch of geeky Eurovision bloggers, minding our own business. No reason to be intimidated, OK?
Mini opens the door to the house. Inside are twenty-something bloggers from different countries. As party music plays, they all appear nerdy-fabulous, posing with their hair blowing in the wind. Ali stands there mesmerized.
ALI
This place is fabulous! And so diverse! Good call.
