FADE IN:

INT. REC ROOM OF THE V.I.U. - DAY

The room is lit by a light above a table, where DEX and LEE are sitting across from each other, both holding two cards.

DEX looks up from his cards and narrows his eyes.


DEX: Are you ready? This next move... it could be game changing.


LEE looks up from her cards and grins.


LEE: Hell yeah man, bring it on.


[The cards that are already on the table are the ten of spades, the five of hearts, the queen of spades, the seven of spades, and the jack of spades.]

Suspenseful pause before LEE flashes her cards to DEX, revealing the nine of spades and the eight of spades.


LEE: (smiling smugly) Straight Flush! What'cha gonna say about that?


DEX groans and lightly bangs his head on the table. As LEE reaches for the skittles in the middle of the table, DEX holds his hands up to stop her.


DEX: Hold up there, look at this.


DEX set his cards on the table. The king of spades and the ace of spades. LEE looks at the card for a brief moment before she hits the table in frustration, throwing her cards down as well.


LEE: Aw come on! I was so close!


DEX grins as he slides the skittles off the table and into a zip lock back he brought.


DEX: Better luck next time mate.

LEE: (while collecting the cards) Yeah, yeah. Lucky game for you.

DEX: Luck had nothing to do with it. That was all pure skill.


DEX stands up and holds his hand out to shake LEE's.


DEX: Good game Lee.


LEE grins and stands up as well, shaking DEX's hand.


LEE: Good game Dex.


DEX and LEE walk over to the elevator and DEX pushes the "G" on the panel.


LEE: I'm not joking. I will get you next time.

DEX: Sure you will. Keep believing in yourself.


LEE looks over at DEX and the elevator dings and the doors open.


LEE: I'm being 100% serious. I will defeat you.


The two get into the elevator and it starts closing. Just before it does, DEX smiles.


DEX: You keep repeating yourself, so I shall do the same. Keep dreaming.


CUT TO:

INT. LOBBY OF THE V.I.U. - DAY

The elevator dings as the doors open, letting DEX and LEE step out of the elevator and walk into the lobby. Agents are walking around and scientists are sitting at computers as DEX and LEE walk by. ROCKWELL and MARION are fighting in the training area separated from the lobby by strong glass. As DEX and LEE walk by, DEX waves to ROCKWELL.


DEX: Hey Rockwell!


ROCKWELL looks up from fighting MARION, giving MARION time to trip ROCKWELL and pin him to the ground. MARION looks up at DEX, smiling.
