INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

The door opened, and a woman and man, Janet and Paul Dutton, dressed in formal attire walked in. Paul switched on the bedroom light as Janet tossed her purse on the bed.

"That was just a terrible, terrible party," Janet said.

"But there was this one really beautiful woman there," Paul replied.

"You should have gone home with her."

"I did."

They kissed, and he unzipped her dress. It fell to the floor.

"I need a few minutes," Janet told him.

"All right, there's a bottle of '89 in the fridge," Paul said.

They kissed and he walked out the door as she crossed the room and entered the bathroom.

INT. AMANDA'S ROOM – NIGHT

A match was struck on the edge of a box as an incantation was recited which ran through the rest of the action as a voiceover.

The match lit a candle as the incantation continued to be spoken.

"Echranmuk madan fiéré fiahohshee shé morelorn-"

"Oh god," Janet said.
