Act 3, Scene 2: Infiltration

DIALOG

We see security camera footage showing the town halls reception desk, where a receptionist / guard welcomes the guests of the big city development project update press conference

Jane walks up to the receptionist

Jane: "Good Morning! Jane Walker, Los Lobos Inquirer, I'm coming for the press conference."

Receptionist: "Good Morning Jane. Can I see your press pass, please? Thank you. Please sign here. And here's your visitor badge."

Jane: "Visitor Badge? Is that new?"

Receptionist: "Yeah, sorry for that, but because of the protests last week, they've been a bit worried about the mayor's safety lately."

Jane: "Fair enough. Same room as always?"

Receptionist: "Third floor, the big briefing room on the right."

Jane: "Thank you. Have a nice day!"

Receptionist: "You too!"

Receptionist presses a button on his console, and you hear a door opener buzz

Receptionist grabs a coffee-to-go mug and takes a sip

Zoe comes into view

Zoe (using her most sultry voice): "Oh, hi there Mr. Receptionist! I'm Zoe Bianchi, Feline World Mews!"

Receptionist: "Attending the press conference, I assume?"

Zoe: "Yes, but unfortunately, I have a teeny tiny problem ... I think I lost my press pass on the plane."

Receptionist: "I'm afraid that means I can't let you in."

Zoe: "Oh no ... what am I going to do! My boss will be so mad at me!"

Receptionist: "New security protocol. I'm sorry."

Zoe: "Really? I would do anything for you to make an exception, just this one time!"

Receptionist: "*chuckles* No, ma'am, I'm afraid not."

Zoe: "I mean ... really anything."

Receptionist: "I don't think you have anything to offer that's worth me losing my job."

Zoe reaches over the counter, and pulls the receptionist closer to her by his tie

Zoe: "That is such a shame. You're such a handsome boy after all ..."

Receptionist: "EXCUSE ME, WHAT ARE YOU- HRGMMM ..."

Zoe unapologetically shoves her tongue down the receptionist's throat

Zoe: "Hmmmmmmmmm ..."

Zoe, Receptionist Zoe holds the Receptionist by the scruffs of his cheeks leaning into the kiss

Zoe, Receptionist The kiss goes on for way too long until Zoe finally lets go

Receptionist: "*GASP*"

Zoe: "Look at you, you're such a GOOD BOY!"

Zoe stroke's the receptionist's cheek

Receptionist (whispering): "Are you crazy, there's camera's all over the place!"

Zoe: "RRRRRrrr! I love being ... watched!"

Receptionist: "Yeah, but I certainly don't!"

Zoe: "Then let's go somewhere else!"

Receptionist: "I can't leave my post."

Zoe: "Not even for a little ... bathroom break? Oh come on! Just a few minutes ... *purrrrr*"

Receptionist: "I really ... hrgh ..."

Zoe grabs him by the tie again

Zoe: "Where is it? Over there? Yes! Now be a good boy and come with me ... you're not going to regret it, I promise!"

Zoe, Receptionist Zoe gives him another kiss, and then pulls him out of view like a dog on a leash

Zoe, Receptionist A brief moment of silence

Robin comes into view, sitting down in place of the receptionist, carrying a walkie-talkie

Robin (speaking into the walkie-talkie): "Robin to puppy, robin to puppy do you read me?"

Ryan (through radio): "Woof woof. I mean, affirmative."

Robin: "I'm at the desk now - let me quickly check the cameras."

Robin presses a button, cycling through the various surveillance cameras

View switches to an outside view of the town hall door

View switches to an overhead view of Robin behind the desk

Robin looks up and waves into the camera, smiling, then presses the button again

View switches to a close-up view of a coffee machine

View switches to a hidden camera in the toilet, where you can see Zoe having a lot of fun with the receptionist

Robin: "What the fuck, Zoe ... really?"

View switches to the view of an empty hallway

View switches to the inside of an elevator

View switches back to the initial view of the reception desk

Robin (into the walkie-talkie): "All right, the coast is clear all the way to the third floor. Time to deliver the payload."

Ryan (on radio): "Roger. Coming in."

Olaf (off): "And here is another case for ..."

Olaf jumps into view, posing in front of the security camera

Olaf: "FACILITY-MAAAAAN ... ager."

Ryan comes into view

Robin: "Okay, I'm letting you in now, but you'd better be quiet from now on, alright?"

Ryan: "Okay, let's go!"

Robin buzzes the door open

Ryan and Olaf leave into the building

View switches to the hallway, showing Ryan and Olaf walk along

View switches to the elevator, showing Ryan and Olaf enter

View switches to the initial view

Vera Aloe comes in

Robin: "Oh hi! Uh .... welcome to ... Los Lobos city hall! Are you here for the press conference?"

Vera: "Uhm no, actually I want to file a complaint about the new building code!"

Robin: "Oh, are they trying to kick you out of your own house, too?"

Vera: "How do you know?"

Robin: "Just a hunch. Let me check the directory real quick ... yeah, here, building safety department, Mr. Tony Brickhead, fourth floor, room 452."

Vera: "Oh, thank you so much!"

Robin opens the door

Vera Aloe walks off

Robin: "No problem. And make it count!"

Robin (to herself): "He he he ... I already like my new job."

(Insert "endless loop" here.)

View switches to an small electrical service room, Olaf being uncomfortably close to the lens

Olaf (through walkie-talkie): "Hey, Robin, we're here. What's the situation in the conference room?"

Robin: "Let me check."

<----- this is where the curtain opens

Robin: "We gotta hurry. They're almost done setting up. And the room is chock full of people already!"

Olaf: "No worries. I'll take care of that."

Olaf grabs two lose wires

Olaf: "Commence evacuation in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ..."

Olaf touches the wires to each other. Sparks fly

The fire alarm goes off

Olaf: "Muhahahahahahaaaaaa!"

Robin: "Oh great, now you're sending everyone my way!"

Ryan: "Just walk outside with everyone else and nobody will notice you - I'll take it from here."

Robin: "Roger."
