📍 Evening. A dim bar. Don Lothario sits by the table, leaning relaxedly on his arm. Nina enters - tense, seeking contact with him. Sits down across from him.
Tumblr media
Nina (hopefully, trying to hold his gaze): Don… We need to talk.
Don (pulls away from the phone, eyes indifferent): Nina. What do you want?
Tumblr media
Nina (trying to smile): You know I'm not just for a night out. I want… more.
Don (smirks, leans back in his chair): The only time I need you is when I want to forget…when I want to call it a night. (pauses, then abruptly) And when I want real passion, I'm drawn to Dina.
Tumblr media
Nina (clenched fists, voice shaking): Are you using her like you're using me?
Don (coldly): Dina is something else. Everything with her is on the edge. She makes you want to play with her, she makes you want to burn, she makes you want to… lose control.
Nina (looking away, resentfully): And me? I'm just a… tool for you.
Don (sternly): You're a convenience. And that's already worth a lot.
He raises his glass, takes a sip without taking his eyes off Nina. She remains silent, inwardly shattered.

📍 Morning. Caliente's kitchen. Nina is on the terrace drinking coffee, her hair disheveled. Dina enters, wearing a light dress and heeled shoes. She's wearing too much glow for 8:00 in the morning. Too contented a face.
Nina (without turning her head): You smell like him.
Tumblr media
Dina (straining): Good morning, sis.
Nina (setting down the cup, turning around): He smells like deodorant and cheap shower gel. Even through your Chanel. You've been to Don's.
Tumblr media
Dina (sits down, crossing her legs): You make it sound like it's a crime.
Nina (through gritted teeth): It's not a crime. It's… predictable. (pause) Do you like him?
Tumblr media
Dina (grinning): It's comfortable for me.
Nina (tensing up): And me?
Dina (slowly, coldly): You're a big girl. You decide for yourself who to love. But don't get in the way when I decide who to use.
Pause. Nina comes closer, her voice shaking with restrained anger.
Tumblr media
Nina: You knew I had a thing for him. You always knew. We shared everything. And suddenly you decided you could take… even this?
Dina (standing up, a little condescendingly): I'm not taking, Nina. I'm getting closer. Toward the goal. Don is not the end. He's just a transition.
She walks around her sister, opens the refrigerator, takes a grape, eats the berry right off the brush.
Dina (lazily): But you know what's funny? He was calling your name when I was already lying next to him.
Nina freezes. Her lips tremble. The camera zooms in on her eyes - there is pain, anger, tears in them. But she does not let them fall.
Tumblr media
Nina (quietly, almost whispering): You've always lied. Even to yourself.
Dina (turning around): And you've always believed. Even when you didn't have to.
Nina (whispering, almost tears): You don't just play. You're ruining it.
Dina (coldly, smiling): I create opportunities. And you, you stay in the shadows.
The morning fades to a stiff silence between the two sisters. Outside the window it's a bright sun, but in the kitchen there is only shadow and the hum of the refrigerator.

📍 Don Lothario's bedroom. 20:00 Evening.
The lamp emits a soft amber light. The sheets are crumpled, glasses of champagne are on the spa. Dina has just woken up. Don lies half-covered by the blanket, watching her.
Tumblr media
Don (lazily): Do you like looking at other people's houses?
Dina (without turning round): I like to think what it would be like to live in a house with no plan. Just feelings. Mistakes. (pause) But then I remember: feelings don't pay the my bills.
Tumblr media
Don (with a chuckle): You talk like you want to marry Mortimer, but you're sleeping at my place. You say he asked you to dinner?
Dina (stretching lazily): Dinner, a walk, wine, talking about eternal things… (grinning) All that's left is to pick the colour of the tablecloth for the wedding table.
Tumblr media
Don: You walk too fast.
Dina (sitting down, looking at him straight on): You're too slow. If you want half, you stay close to Cassandra. I'm doing what needs to be done. Everyone has a role to play.
Tumblr media
Don (squinting): And you want it all?
Dina (sits in the spa): I want what I'm supposed to have. After all I've put up with… these pathetic dates, their funeral for love… (whispering, moving closer to him)
Tumblr media
Don: What about me?
Dina: And you're already in the epilogue, Donnie. Be smart. You want a piece of the Goth's Empire, stick close.

📍 Goth home. 13:00 Day. Cassandra returns from her studies. Dina is standing at the front door with a bag - she brought something "for Mortimer".
Cassandra takes off her headphones, freezes, seeing her.
Tumblr media
Cassandra (discreetly): Miss Caliente…? What are you doing here?
Dina (smiling, a little awkwardly): Oh, Cassandra! I just… brought your father a pie. Homemade. Pumpkin pie.
Cassandra (coldly): That's odd. We didn't order pie. And you don't seem to be the type to bake just for fun.
Tumblr media
Dina (laughing quietly): Sometimes I want to be useful, too. Especially when people around me are having a hard time.
Cassandra (harder): My mum's having a hard time right now, too. Wherever she is.
Pause. Dina doesn't answer. Just looks at her sadly. Silence.
Tumblr media
Cassandra (in a slightly trembling voice): You're not trying to replace her… are you?
Dina (quietly, almost in a whisper): No one can replace Bella. (pause) I just… don't want him to be alone.
Cassandra walks past without looking back. Dina remains at the door, pie in hand.

📍 20:00. A week ago. Cocktail-bar in San Mishuno's business district.
There's jazz playing in the corner. Mortimer sits at the bar, drinking whiskey, deep in thought. Dina Caliente walks in, notices him, doesn't immediately recognise him.
Tumblr media
Dina (gently, a little surprised): Mr Goth?
Mortimer (turns round, smiles tiredly): Miss Caliente. What an unexpected meeting.
Dina (sits down next to me, makes a sign to the bartender): You look… not your usual self. (pause) Rough day?
Tumblr media
Mortimer (sighing): Tough weeks. Months. (silence) Bella… still no news.
Dina (earnestly): I'm sorry. She's a bright woman. I've always envied her presence.
The bartender places a glass in front of Dina. She takes a sip, watching Mortimer.
Tumblr media
Mortimer (weak smile): I envy anyone who can talk about her in the present tense.
Dina (softly): I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
Mortimer: It's okay. It's just… weird sitting like this. In a bar. Alone. (pause)
Almost forgot how to talk to people.
Dina (smiling, leaning in slightly): Let's start with an easy one. What do you usually order when you want to forget yourself?
Mortimer (looking at the glass): Something that's a little less bitter than the memories.
They laugh. For the first time, genuinely.
Tumblr media
Dina (after a pause): If you want company. I'm good at sitting next to you and keeping quiet. Sometimes it's better than words.
Mortimer (looking at her a little longer than he should): That sounds like a rare gift.

📍 Morning. Mortimer wakes up. Bella is gone. The phone rings. Cassandra enters.
Tumblr media
Cassandra (in a panic): - Dad… Mum didn't come home. I rang - her phone's switched off.
Tumblr media
Mortimer (coming to the door, confused): - Maybe she… just went out for some air.
Alexander (from behind the door): I saw… there was a light at night. Above the house. It was green.
Tumblr media
Everyone freezes. Silence. Anxiety sets in.

📍 The Goth garden. It's night. Warm, crickets are chirping.
Bella (nervously): - I shouldn't have come. It's not right.
Tumblr media
Don (softly): - It's not right to live as a ghost in your own life. I mean, you're alive, Bella. I can see that.
Tumblr media
Bella (whispering): - What if he finds out…?
Don (leaning closer): - Then I'll say you smiled for the first time in a long time. And it was worth everything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They kiss. Mortimer's bedroom window glows in the distance.

📍 Goth Home. Living room. 00:07
Bella (from the back): - You've come late again.
Mortimer (tiredly): - We had a council. I stayed late at the lab. It's important.
Tumblr media
Bella (turning round): - And I, then - not important?
Mortimer (staring silently, not answering immediately) - Bella, not today. I'm tired.
Tumblr media
Bella (coldly): - You are tired. I am - fading away. Day by day. You don't even notice it.
Mortimer (tensely): - I do notice. I just. don't know how to help you.
Tumblr media
Bella (bitterly): - Help? I'm not a patient, Mortimer. I'm your wife. Or was. Though frankly, I haven't felt like one in a long time.
He walks to the bedroom. She backs away and follows him.
Tumblr media
Mortimer: - You've changed.
Bella: - I live with the shadows. In a house where every step is like a museum. Where the children grow up in silence and my husband hides behind papers. (quieter) - I don't want to die in this glass coffin.
Mortimer (resentfully): - So you find everything so unbearable here?
Bella (defiantly): - Unbearable is pretending we're doing fine. (pause) - I don't know what we've become. But we're definitely not a couple. And not a family.
Bella (quietly): - I want to get away. At least for a while. To breathe. To remember who I am.
Mortimer (almost whispering): - If there's nothing keeping you here - think about whether there's any point in coming back.

📍 San Myshuno | Cocktail Bar
Don notices Bella, walks up to the bar.
Don (with a charming smile): - Don't tell me such perfection came here alone
Tumblr media
Bella (surprised but reserved): - Perhaps perfection just came to take a break from talking.
Tumblr media
Don (leaning closer): - Then allow me to break the silence... if only for one cocktail.
Bella (with a slight smile): - One - and only if you say nothing more about my looks.
Tumblr media
Don (cheerfully): - Then let's talk about your voice. It sounds like a song you want to listen to over and over again.
Both of them are laughing. The first ice has been broken.

Bella: - You didn't even notice what date it is today. Mortimer: - Wednesday...? Is something wrong? Bella: - Anniversary. Twelve years. We were at Sunset Valley, remember?
Tumblr media
Mortimer: - I'm sorry, Bella. I got completely lost in my work...
Tumblr media
Bella: - And I'm in a house where it's like I don't exist.
