SCENE: We see a woman wearing fishnet stockings, opera gloves and an outfit that a trapeze artist, stage dancer (or perhaps a stripper) would wear. She is standing in a stage dressing room and she appears startled by an angry man (in the foreground.)

MAN: I know you want to entertain them…

MAN: …but that’s a wake out there.

WOMAN: And?

MAN: You’re…right. 

MAN: Creepy Uncle Dave…

MAN: …rest his soul…

MAN: …would love this!
