CHAPTER 06 — In the Club
INT. THE MIRROR CLUB - NIGHT
ZIN made it through the doors and reaches the cashier.
15 please. 15 bugs.
Ah sure, I'm a friend of VJ Gabriel.
So are you? Has he now as well Model T friends? Anything that moves.
Madam, of course.
Please enter, s'il vous plaît.
Thank you madam.
ZIN enters The Mirror Club. There are the two table dancers, SIOUXY and JESSICA, dancing in caves hanging from the ceiling. A PEGASUS MAN hangs in a third cave.
There are video screens showing pictures from old times, like New York and London, the sea, animals having sex and so on.
VJ GABRIEL is behind glass in the VJ box.
The club is more or less empty. Some weirdos hang on the bar, drunk. WINI is behind the bar, mixing drinks.
ZIN is insecure, doesn't know where to go. She stands around. An ugly old BLOKE looking like a giant cockroach robs towards her.
Sweetie, fancy a drink?
No, I'm ah yes, thank you sir.
Sir? I haven't been called a sir since a long time, where are you escaping from, darling?
I'm not what it looks like, genetic mistake in the lab. Yes, been looking like a twin all my life. I'm actually a Type F.
Ah, a Type F you are, guess you know what type I am, ha-ha.
Sure, the type that invites girls like me for a drink?
That's right, that's right. How much for a start when I might ask?
How much, yes not much.
Ha ha, not much. What do you drink then, love?
Ah yes, some tea please.
Uh, you are going for it. Hey Wini, the lady here would like a spice tea.
Are you sure you want a spice tea? Isn't it a bit early for that?
Yes, tea is fine.
10 bugs please.
It's on me, I pay.
WINI starts mixing colourful liquids.
BLOKE (CONT'D)
How comes I never seen you here before?
Ah, I'm a relative of VJ.
Ah, lucky man, lucky man.
Yes, I've been away for some time.
Yes, knows a lot of ladies our VJ, lucky man.
Yes, he does. I'm only family, not more than that.
Sure, that's good. You and me, we could do some business, couldn't we?
I'm working in the Ministry of, I mean I'm in, a... you know what I mean.
Sure, we are all in it for the money, only for the money.
BLOKE (CONT'D)
A girl like you should have no problem, right? Half a twin is better than never.
I am not a twin, I'm an F type.
Here is your tea, lady.
Thank you.
Yes, I like you. Maybe F types that look like you can show me a bit, how you work?
Sure, later.
ZIN starts sipping tea.
Yes, sure, later. Lucky day, ha-ha, seems like my lucky day. What's your name, sweetie?
My name is Zin. Zin.
Zin, Cinderella, it's a sin, Cinderella, ha ha, very good, very good.
ZIN starts drinking and looks around. The music gets louder, colours become more intensive.
BLOKE (CONT'D)
I'll be back in a minute, I better get us some V. I see you in a minute.
See you in a minute.
ZIN starts to walk around. The drugs start to work. VJ is surrounded by singing dolphins. The club ceiling starts to look like ZIN's dreams.
