Scene 1:
Bait’s figure is silhouetted as she changes. Switch messages someone on the computer.
BAIT
Pwetty, pwease!
SWITCH
No!
One of Bait’s garments flies over the screen and hits Switch in the face.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - LATER
Switch works on new gadgets as Bait plays with dolls that represent her personalities, a ’Kelly’ barbie doll and a modified ’Ken’ barbie doll, dressed as a trucker.
BAIT
Switch, will you tell me now?
SWITCH
NO! I’m not telling you any of it!
BAIT
Fine, but Gracie is in meltdown
mode. Do you really wanna risk
that?
SWITCH
Bring it on...
Bait wails like a child as Switch puts on big head phones. Bait’s posture and gait is that of a five year old as she walks over to Switch and plops down on the floor crying.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - LATER
Bait brings dinner over to Switch along with hers. She places the plate in front of Switch. Bait sits and stares at Switch as she eats.
SWITCH
(food in her mouth)
What?
BAIT
Ipoisonedyourfood.
Bait covers her mouth like she just told a juicy secret. Switch stops chewing.
SWITCH
You didn’t...
BAIT
I don’t know. But if you want the
antidote, I could use a story...
Switch spits her food onto her plate.
SWITCH
You did all this just to know who
the damn hero is?
BAIT
Yup! So spill, you don’t know what
kind of time you have. Give me all
the dirty details between you
and...
SWITCH
I can’t believe you! You really
fucking poisoned me!? You’re
insane, you know that?
BAIT
Tell me something I don’t know.
SWITCH
Fuck you for this.
BAIT
So how’d you meet
what’s-her-bucket?
SWITCH
Her name is Black Charlotte or as I
like to call her, Captain Ex. We
met in college...

Scene 2:
INT. COH HEADQUARTERS - DAY
A TOUR GROUP walks around the lobby as the GUIDE points to the walls. The MAN in the green hoodie with his face hidden is among the crowd. Yelling from outside the building suddenly gets louder as Bait bursts in.
BAIT [GRACE]
(crying)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
She fights herself, struggling back to the entrance.
BAIT
Oh for the love of - we’re going
in. We don’t need her.
Bait forces herself back in, going up to the desk.
BAIT [GRACE]
(crying)
I do!
BAIT [TRUCKER DAVE]
I’ll take care of this, since
neither one of you can gain enough
control here.
Bait now walks like a giant, burly man to the desk where a SECRETARY (young hipster) looks terrified. The Guide tries to usher the tour group out but people start filming Bait.
BAIT [TRUCKER DAVE]
Eh, boy. We want a meetin’ with the
Consortium.
SECRETARY
Uh... I’m afraid they’re not here.
BAIT [TRUCKER DAVE]
(flirty)
Oh come on, handsome. Why don’t you
tell me your name?
SECRETARY
Ben.
BAIT [TRUCKER DAVE]
Okay, Ben. We can do this one of
two ways. You let someone know
we’re here or I’ll have the
screaming child come back out.
BEN
Okay, okay!
His hand shakes as he picks up the phone and dials a number.
SECRETARY
Excuse me, sir. There’s a... uh...
BAIT
Bait.
BEN
Bait here to see you. A uh...
villain. I would assume.
BAIT
What do you live under a rock? Have
you never heard of Bait and Switch?
BAIT [GRACE]
I WANT SWWWIIIIIITTCCCHHH!
BEN looks mortified. Bait wipes her eyes.
BAIT
Sorry about that. I have a
proposition for your boss.
BEN
Uh, sir... please just hurry down
here. Right. I will let them know.
Yes sir, them.
The Secretary hangs up the phone.
BEN [CONT.]
He will be down shortly.
