INT. THE EURO CLUB - NIGHT

People are waiting for the show to start on the big screen.

MATT

We're gonna have a new winner in a few hours! It's so exciting.

ALI

Especially when it's by blackmail.

DAVID

Twitter is going insane. People say Loukas might win.

ALI

It's because they haven't seen last night's performance. Anyway, I'll breathe, I'll relax and let go of all the bullshit! Time to put the Buddha in Budapest.

On the big screen they are showing an interview of Valerie.

VALERIE

Online communities have been very supportive. Victory for Valerie!

ALI

That bitch must be stopped.

DAVID

They don't call her Diva-lerie for nothing.

ALI

I'll call her Valer-rhea.

MATT

(checking phone) Apparently this 2 Blogs thing will have the first interview with her after the contest. When did this website become a big deal?

DAVID

It's all over my timeline too. They are massive Valerie supporters.

ALI

Let me see. (checking Matt's phone) What's that?

MATT

Their new logo. Aah, it's not called 2 Blogs, it's Victory Blogs. The 2 is the victory sign.

Matt does the V-sign with his hand.

ALI

(thinking) I've seen that... VB?

On the big screens Eurovision's opening music "Te Deum" starts playing gloriously as Ali recalls images of

Valerie saying "Victory for Valerie";

the 2 Blogs logo;

the VB design he saw;

a man's hand doing the victory sign;

Valerie saying "online communities have been very supportive";

Vlad's designs he saw in his room;

finally Vlad doing the victory sign.

Ali is shocked with his eyes wide open.

ALI

IT'S VLAD!!

MATT

What?

ALI

The Russian blogger I shared the room with. He did it, he took our pictures!

Ali runs to Eduardo who is watching the big screen.

ALI

What's Vlad's last name?

EDUARDO

Why are you asking?

ALI

WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS LAST NAME?!

EDUARDO

Chill out, it's Kozell.

ALI

Are you sure?

EDUARDO

Yeah, I like the beer.

ALI

He lied! VB's NOT his initials! And it's not Victoria Beckham's either! He dresses like shit to stan for someone that stylish!

EDUARDO

...what are you talking about?

ALI

Thanks man. Go Spain!

Eduardo smiles impulsively. Ali runs back to Matt and David.

ALI

Vlad is the one in charge of that new blog! He must have used the pictures to take down Loukas and get all that support from Valerie!

DAVID

(in French) Oh my God!

ALI

I need to find him! No, I need his computer. I've to go home!

MATT

You can't do anything now. The show just started, it's too late!

ALI

I HAVE TO TRY! I'm NOT letting it end like this! Loukas can win!

MATT

OK, let's go together then!
