Int. Front desk--dusk Falls

Just as Ted is recovering from the mystery of this first

guest, Elspeth arrives.

She has skin like marble, the body of Venus, piercing blue

eyes, blond hair and is dressed all in black clothing, like

Honey West in a rubber dress. She carries several bags, and

a silver sword on her shoulder.

TED

May I help you?

ELSPETH

I... we... have a reservation.

Then she snaps, irritated, behind her.

ELSPETH

Kiva!

ANGLE ON a young punk rocker chick with long orange hair, a

long leather coat, wearing a tight T-shirt with studs spelling

"PUSSY" across her breasts. This is Kiva.

Kiva is kicking the tar and nicotine outta the cigarette

machine. Just as Ted's eyes grow wide with anxiety, several

packs of smokes drop into the juvenile delinquent's hands.

KIVA

Wait up, gawd! I had to get supplies

for this boring ass night.

ELSPETH

(to Ted)

We have a reservation in the Honeymoon

Suite.

TED

Oh yeah... you must be one of "the

others." And what're you carrying --

the Rock of Gibraltar?

She stares at him without humor. He fumbles for the key. He

walks around the desk to help her with her black crocodile

luggage. Jars clang inside. He is ready to go, but Elspeth

turns to lecture Kiva on the hazards of smoking, as Kiva

lights up.

ELSPETH

What'd I tell you about smoking?

KIVA

You smoke.

ELSPETH

That's right -- I smoke, and I'm

addicted to it, and I don't want the

same thing to happen to you.

KIVA

(in game-show host

voice)

"Hello -- welcome to this week's

edition of the Hypocrite of the Year

Award --"

As Kiva goes off on her impression of a game-show host,

Elspeth is growing increasingly rageful, like a mother with

an unruly child. Ted waits, luggage in hand.

ELSPETH

Kiva! That's enough --

She cuts Kiva's ramble off. Kiva blows smoke defiantly.

KIVA

You're not my mother!

ELSPETH

Yes I am.

KIVA

Then why're we sleeping together?

Ted looks on uneasily at the relationship that is beginning

to unfold here.

Elspeth checks his reaction and becomes self-conscious at

his scrutiny.

ELSPETH

Well... I didn't mean it... literally.

I... I happen to be the only one

who... cares about you --

But her wild child looks off, bored. Elspeth turns to Ted,

flustered.

ELSPETH

Please -- take us to our room!

Ted smiles uneasily and reaches to relieve her of her sword,

but Elspeth quickly slams her palm on the sword and shoots

him a piercing glare. He jumps back with a light nervous

laugh. He leads the way to the elevator.
