INT. THE MINI HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Ali and Mini enter the house and close the door behind them.
MINI
Guys this is Ali, our honorary Turkish reporter.
HEIDI
(with a slight German accent) Turkish reporter? How was prison?
Everyone laughs; Ali is surprised but he also laughs.
MINI
This is Heidi, our German blogger. She's dark.
HEIDI
(touches her short blond hair) As you can see.
MINI
You know Thomas, my roommate in London.
THOMAS
Nice to see you again, man.
MINI
Jake's from Sweden. Eduardo is Spanish. Silva's Armenian, Tuval is Israeli, Jolanda is Slovenian and Christian is Danish.
ALI
Hey everyone.
MINI
Now count them back to me!
Ali stutters.
MINI
I'm just messing with you!
Ali laughs while also glaring at Mini. A cat passes by.
MINI
And that's Jolanda's cat. She is very intuitive about Eurovision. She guessed 3 of the last 5 winners right!
JOLANDA
(with a notable Slovenian accent) That's more than most of us.
THOMAS
Finally our Russian blogger Vlad is upstairs, in the shower.
MINI
He'll be your roommate. Let's drop your bags and you can meet him too.
ALI
Nice to meet you all!
Ali and Mini head for the stairs.
ALI
Are you sure the Russian guy won't mind me staying in his room?
MINI
No, don't worry. His room is as big as Russia itself. And unlike Russia he welcomes gays.
