laurel and massimo’s fancy condo, uptown, 8:10pm

laurel: so how did that interview go?

karlie: (shuffles uncomfortably) ok i guess. i think i might have gotten it. the store seems nice. it’s like, most of the stuff you wear. they had some of your sister’s designs in there too.

laurel: (feigns surprise) oh, did they? sylvie would be glad to hear that. (concerned) you don’t seem very excited? do you not want the job?

karlie: no. i really NEED this job. (aggravated sigh) and i’m probably being paranoid but, i felt like the manager was being forced to interview me? like this was a formality she had to go through.

laurel: (smiles knowingly) oh. well that is (pauses) strange. i guess you were the hire she was looking for.

the front door slams

laurel: ah! that must be mass

mass: (excited – off screen) babe! the costumes came! i’m gonna throw mine on. you gotta see this!

karlie: (puzzled) costumes?

laurel: we got invited to a um, birthday party. a fancy costume party for the carlisle twins. aka lord and lady carlisle.

karlie: (eyes widen) you’re gonna be hobnobbing with “the handsome ginger lord”?

laurel: the very same.

karlie: (squints) wait, you know royalty?

laurel smiles

karlie: (eyes narrow) you are just full of weird little secrets…aren’t ya?

mass enters the room

mass: babe, check it out! they even got the WIGS right! yours is still in the box. just try it on and let’s see if it fits.

karlie: (stifles laughter) oh my god…

laurel stares at karlie, puzzled at what’s making her laugh. as she turns around to greet massimo, her jaw drops
