Kass: Well that's good at least. Nothing amazing happens here.
Chris: Except next week remember?
Kass: Oh yeah how could I forget! Chris here's actually gonna star in a movie!
Dawn: I know I'm really looking forward to it. You'll all be there?
Kirsty: Sure wouldn't wanna miss Chris' big night.
Chris: Aw, you guys. But it's not like I'm in Scooby Doo or anything. It's just a normal movie.
Marie: Well we'll be cheering you on offset. Quietly cheering.
Everyone laughs.
Dawn: I'm just gonna go to the toilet, I'll be back before they have to take our orders.
She gets up and walks away.
Chris: So what do you guys think?
Robby: She's definitely a looker!
Kass rolls her eyes.
Kass; If you want a girl's opinion ? or well five ? she seems great.
Kirsty: Yeah Chris, you too look great together!
Chris: Thanks you guys.
The scene changes ? Kass, Line and Marie suddenly have blood all over their hands. Kelly has a few specks, while Kirsty and Robby suddenly look like corpses, with blood all over them. Chris looks up.
Chris: Shouldn't you guys wash your hands?
Kass; Oh, no this stuff never comes off.
Cut back to Chris. He gasps and falls on the floor breathing heavily. The man smiles again. Cut to the smaller demon from earlier. Several other even smaller demons are stood around him.
Smaller demon #1: Is all going well?
Small demon: Yes?it's working.
