INT. THE LÁSZLÓ PAPP ARENA - NIGHT
Valerie is singing on the stage. The gang is watching from a private section in the arena as Loukas comes over.
LOUKAS
Hey guys. Were you watching?
ALI
(to Mini) Don't you love the way he talks!
DAVID
(mocking Loukas) No, we missed it. What is this?
LOUKAS
(smiling) You must be David.
ALI
These are Matt and Leo.
They shake hands.
LEO
I'm no expert but I thought you were really good.
ALI
You were amazing!
LOUKAS
Thank you. (to Ali) Seeing you there really helped.
Ali and Loukas hug.
MATT
Here comes the Post Eurovision Depression. It will be at least 6 months until something exciting happens in the Eurovision universe.
MINI
Maybe you won't have to wait that long.
David and Mini look at each other and smile.
LOUKAS
What did you do?
MINI
Hey, the voting is over. It's not cheating, it's journalism now.
Valerie's song ends with a huge cheer. But one second later the fake pregnancy photo David took appears on the huge backscreen just like an ovaticon. The cheer turns into a gasp. Matt gasps too.
BY THE GREEN ROOM
NADIA
They are requesting my song!
On the stage, Valerie is confused. She turns around to see what's on the screen and is shocked herself.
David and Mini high-five.
DAVID
Shot on iPhone.
ALI
You got it into the broadcast?! You really are a wizard!
MINI
More like, Barry's a boob man. And he hates all the contestants.
Valerie successfully acts like everything is cool.
VALERIE
I love you, Europe! Good night!
