INT. VALERIE'S DRESSING ROOM - DAY
Valerie and Loukas enter the room. Valerie closes the door.
VALERIE
I need to warn you about something. I think tonight in the jury final, you shouldn't sing very... well.
LOUKAS
Why would I do that? The juries give their points tonight.
VALERIE
You know I have a lot of fans in Europe right? They really want me to win.
Loukas looks confused and Valerie looks happy.
VALERIE
I think they might be planning something if you beat me to it.
Valerie takes a file out of her desk and hands it to Loukas.
LOUKAS
What's this?
Loukas opens it. Inside are pictures of him in bed with Ali but the faces are blurred out.
LOUKAS
This is me. How did you get these?!
VALERIE
I guess it's their way of looking after me. And I'm looking after you. Apparently the uncensored ones will leak online if you come first.
Loukas is speechless.
VALERIE
I miss the old times. No leaks, no social media. Today you have to fight to protect your image.
Valerie grabs a piece of chocolate and eats it.
VALERIE
You want some? These are good.
LOUKAS
I can't throw the competition; this is the biggest thing that's ever happened to me!
VALERIE
Can you handle the scandal? I hear the guy's Turkish too.
LOUKAS
I... can't believe... You shouldn't be doing this!
VALERIE
I'm not darling. I told you, I appreciate gay love... Oh, that wasn't you, my mistake.
