EXT. THE EUROVILLAGE - DAY
David and Matt are at the Eurovillage. Ali and Mini arrive.
ALI & MINI
Hey!
MATT
Finally! Where have you been?
ALI
Mini took me to the rehearsals. I watched Loukas! He is gonna win.
DAVID
Valerie's performance is spectacular! He can't beat that.
MATT
Isn't her press conference tomorrow?
MINI
Yes. She'll probably confirm she's pregnant. Her face is much fuller.
DAVID
(to Ali) Like yours in 2018.
MATT
I read that she will. There's this new Eurovision blog called 2 Blogs. They have all the scoop! (to Mini) Oops, sorry.
MINI
Don't worry. I'm not bothered by a self-proclaimed number 2.
DAVID
Seriously, that's a terrible name. 2 is the death slot in the running order. And 2 points is not good.
ALI
It's pretty good for France.
David smiles.
DAVID
There' s something with you today. Your hair is glowing.
MATT
I bet it's that guy you were talking to last night.
ALI
Who, Christian? It was more like a monologue. He totally blanked me and then you took him away, remember?
MATT
Oh, right.
ALI
What did you do together?
MATT
We had a few drinks. Danced. Added each other on Instagram.
ALI
OK.
MATT
And anal.
The other three aren't surprised.
MATT
He is super hot! It's weird because bloggers are usually annoying nerds. (to Mini) OOPS, SORRY!
MINI
(laughing) You're not wrong, sis. You know, I don't actually follow him on Insta.
Matt enters Christian's Instagram page and hands it to Mini.
MATT
Yeah, look at these pics!
MINI
And pecs!
DAVID
He's very annoying with the glitter though. It gets everywhere!
MATT
He is a bit exhausting. You see people differently once you, you know--
ALI
Come?
MATT
(chuckles) That wasn't just once.
Matt's eye catches Mini liking every picture of Christian.
MATT
Oh my God! What are you doing!
DAVID
What?
MATT
(scrolling) She liked every picture of Christian! Hundreds of them! Oh shit! This is so gonna look like I want to see him again.
MINI
(smirks) Oops, sorry.
MATT
I was right about bloggers. (checking the page) You liked something about sending refugees back home!
Nobody talks. Matt receives a notification.
MATT
And that's a skinhead following me! (looks carefully) Fuck, he is hot though.
