[SCENE 1: COFFEE SHOP] (01; A street-view shot of a boutique coffee shop sitting on a four-way intersection. The streets are old and worn, a reflection of the weary city. A young woman wearing nothing but a two-piece bikini and high-heel shoes shifts her weight eagerly on the street corner, holding a large sign over her head with "BIKINI CAR WASH" written on it in bright, bubbly 60s-styled text. The camera's focus is intently on her, with everything else blurred. After a few moments, the camera focus shifts to the coffee shop window - and of Selina, in her smart street attire, sitting by the window, idly sipping from her coffee cup, eyes fixed squarely on the young woman, unblinking. Just inside the coffee shop, beside her table, stands a man in a sharp navy-blue suit, gesticulating as he speaks inaudibly.) (02; A close-up of Selina as she openly watches the woman on the street outside. The man's voice drips with sleazy self-assurance as he bullishly attempts to woo Selina.) MAN (bragging openly): "Of course, I knew they were going to make it big. Tech start-ups are easy investments. Netted me an easy six-figure bonus." (03; An over-the-shoulder shot behind Selina, following her eyeline to fix squarely on the woman outside. The camera focus is minimal, so the full scene is equally in focus.) MAN (bragging openly): "I figured, what the hell, I have the garage space. Why NOT get a Ferrari, to go along with the Porsche? I'm telling you, you would be one lucky gal..." *The camera's focus shifts hard on the bikini-clad woman, blurring everything else to near-unrecognizability. The man's voice becomes muffled and muted as the camera focuses. It lingers for several seconds.* (04; An upward-facing shot, positioned from the coffee shop table, composed such that the man is pushing up against the edge of the frame. Selina still is focused intently out the window.) MAN (overflowing with confidence): "Anyways, I figured I'd offer you a ride, let you pop the passenger seat's cherry. Maybe offer you a different ride, too--" *He reaches out to put a hand on SELINA's shoulder, but is intercepted mid-air by another hand darting out of frame to grab his wrist; the man starts as he turns, wide-eyed, toward this third actor* (05; A waist-up shot of Barbara firmly grasping the man's wrist, as she glares daggers into him. Her oversized Gotham University sweater obfuscated her otherwise slim frame, and her thick-rimmed glasses belied the fierce intensity of her gritty voice as she admonished the slickster. Selina is still looking out the window.) BARBARA (coldly, firmly): "Learn to take a hint, buddy." *SELINA turns immediately at the sound of BARBARA's voice. She looks up intently at BARBARA.* (06; A close-up of Selina as she watches Barbara intently. She takes an idle sip from her coffee mid-sentence.) BARBARA (coldly, firmly): "If a girl doesn't even look your way after running your mouth for 30 straight seconds..." (07; A high-angle close-up of Barbara, from Selina's POV, as she continues to berate the man.) BARBARA (coldly, firmly): "...then she's clearly not interested. Take a hike." *BARBARA turns her attention to Selina, looking straight into the camera, as her face immediately softens into a gentle smile* BARBARA (gently, concern dripping in her voice): "You okay?" (08; A waist-up shot from behind Barbara, as Selina leans up against the mirror, looking squarely at Barbara. She gestures blasely, a wry smile on her face.) SELINA (coolly): "Barring the nose hairs his cologne fried, I'm fine." *BARBARA gives a small chuckle* (09; An over-the-shoulder shot behind Selina leaning against the window. The front counter of the coffee shop is visible in the distance, with a barista finishing off an order. A handful of people can be seen sitting at other tables. The camera focus is on Barbara.) BARBARA (amused): "Afraid I can't help you there." *Camera focus quickly shifts to the barista, as they hold up a coffee and announce to the shop* BARISTA (fully, to be heard clearly): "A quad-shot dirty chai latte for Babs?" *Camera focus returns to Barbara, as she turns and lifts a hand up in a lazy flag* BARBARA (projecting to be heard): "Just a sec. And it's Barb." (10; A reverse shot, now behind Barbara as she turns to face Selina, whose watching her intently, a sly smile on her face, one elbow perched on the table with her hand hooked high, the other hand resting as it loosely holds her coffee. Barbara flashes an awkward smile at Selina.) BARBARA (awkwardly, losing all the grit she had with the man and concern she had earlier with Selina): "Well, I probably oughtta--I don't wanna--You seem busy." SELINA (smoothly, her voice dripping with sexual seduction): "Not yet." (11; A close-up of Selina as she watches Barbara squirm with a fierce, almost predatory intensity.) BARBARA (stammering; if a voice could blush, her voice is blushing): "W-what's not yet?" SELINA (smoothly): "I'm not busy yet." (12; A close-up of Barbara, blushing brightly, as her eyes vibrate gently in anticipation as she looks at Selina.) BARBARA (stammering): "I, uhh... I don't want to impose on you, ma'am." SELINA (smoothly): "Please." (13; A waist-up shot as Selina lazily shifts her weight forward, reaching her free hand out to gently take Barbara's hand and lift it, holding the other woman's fingers loosely in her own. Barbara looks down at her hand as Selina takes it, but makes no effort to move away. Selina's eyes never leave Barbara's through the motion.) SELINA (smoothly): "Impose on me." (14; A close-up of Selina gently her thumb against the back of Barbara's hand.) SELINA (smoothly): "I insist." (15; A close-up of Selina smiling wryly up at Barbara, eyes drooped seductively.) SELINA (smoothly): "And call me Selina." --- [SCENE 2: STUDIO APARTMENT] (01; A frame-matched close-up of Selina staring straight forward, mouth slightly open as she focuses absent-mindedly. She is sitting in the dark, in the den area of her decidedly-middle-class apartment. The dining-area behind her is well-lit, implying she intentionally turned the lights off. Her face is bathed in the blue light of the screen she is looking at behind the camera.) *Sound of a heavy interior door closing; Selina tilts her head gently toward the sound* SELINA (distracted): "That you, babe?" BARBARA (winded from walking up the stairs): "Yeah. Sorry I'm late." (02; Wide shot of Barbara in the apartment's entrance hallway, book bag slung over her shoulder. She's leaning against the wall, taking her sneakers off one by one as she speaks.) BARBARA (winded and now annoyed as she thinks about why she's late): "Fuck Gotham traffic." SELINA (echoing the sentiment): "Fuck Gotham traffic!" (03; Shot from the dining area, facing Selina's back as she sits cross-legged on the ottoman in front of the large television mounted on the wall, playing her video-game. After a moment, Babs walks into the picture, composed squarely to frame her hips to shoulders.) BARBARA (slightly amused): "You're STILL playing that game?" SELINA (focusing squarely on her game): "New DLC." (04; Wide shot from the television's perspective, fully framing Selina with a game controller in hands as she stares intently at the camera. She is wearing only a simple dark-gray sports top, tiny shorts, and socks. Babs can be seen standing in the dining area, bookbag still slung over her shoulder, leaning against the counter as she watches Selina.) SELINA (distracted): "Hot dogs or taquitos?" *BARBARA smiles broadly as she brings her hand to her face and shakes her head gently in amusement* BARBARA (amused): "You really are something else." (05; Profile close-up of Selina as she focuses intently on her game.) BARBARA (amused): "Stunning suave show-stopper by day, goblin gamer girl by evening." *SELINA gives a single closed-mouth chuckle, a wry smile spreading across her face, as she speaks without breaking concentration* SELINA (playfully): "And squirting, squealing mess by night, as you make her cum for the fifth time in a row." *SELINA turns toward Babs and away from the camera* SELINA (firmly): "Hot dogs or taquitos?" *BARBARA gives a long, defeated sigh, as SELINA's head gently tracks as she implicitly approaches* (06; Barbara is now standing beside Selina sitting on the ottoman, bookbag in hand.) *BARBARA places it gracelessly up against the ottoman as she drops herself down beside Selina, effortlessly wrapping one arm around Selina and resting her cheek on the other woman's shoulder.* BARBARA (supportively): "Hot dogs for sure." (07; Close-up of Barbara's hand on Selina's bare thigh, thumb gently stroking the skin.) BARBARA (in a frisky tone): "Nothing beats hot dogs after a long day." (08; Front-facing shot as Selina operates her controller, as Babs just looks up at her from her cheek-on-shoulder perch, idly stroking Selina's thigh.) *After a few moments, Selina leans to one side to put the controller down beside her. Barbara sits upright as Selina shifts away from her.* *In one fluid motion, after putting the controller down, Selina turns to face Barbara and plants a kiss firmly on Barbara's lips.* *As they give quick, passionate kisses, Selina gently cradles Barbara's face. Barbara's hands wrap around Selina's waist.* (09; A close-up of the two kissing.) *After a few kisses, Barbara pulls away to smile playfully at Selina. She grabs Selina's wrists and pulls them away from her face, holding them between their faces. Selina looks questioningly at Barbara as the latter speaks.* BARBARA (in mock concern): "I was starting to worry." SELINA (in genuine concern): "Worry?" (10; Wide shot, with the camera nestled in a corner of the room behind the women, looking down at them sitting on the ottoman together. The TV has a pause screen on Selina's game up.) BARBARA (in mock concern): "That you were getting bored of me." SELINA (heart aching at the thought): "I'd never! It's just..." (11; Profile shot, with the camera nearer to Barbara, the television on the opposite side of them. Barbara is still holding Selina's wrists.) *SELINA turns to look at the television* SELINA (getting a bit upset with the flurry of emotions): "I've been waiting three years for this update to drop." *SELINA turns a pleading face back to Barbara* SELINA (beginning to feel overwhelmed with guilt): "You know me, babe. I'm just a sucker for these things." (12; Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Barbara, looking straight ahead at Selina's pleading face.) SELINA (weakly, feeling as if she doesn't deserve what she's asking): "Can you forgive me?" *BARBARA brings a hand up to gently cradle SELINA's cheek* BARBARA (gently, warmly): "You know I'll always forgive you." *SELINA's face melts into a relieved expression. It lasts only a moment, however, before transforming into surprise as Barbara shifts her hand to push her thumb into Selina's mouth.* BARBARA (playfully, firmly): "And I know full-well that you're a sucker." (13; Front-facing shot of the two looking at each other, Selina's face still encased in surprise. Barbara's expression, by contrast, is sly and very much in control.) *SELINA's expression quickly transforms to one of seductive play, as she pulls away from Barbara's thumb, running her tongue slowly up the length of the short digit, keeping unbroken eye contact as she moves.* *SELINA pulls off from Barbara's thumb with a flick of her tongue. She gives it a quick smooch, and then hovers for a moment, before she effortlessly wraps her lips around the thumb, closing eyes as she begins to quickly and eagerly fellate it, moaning gently in the process.* *After a few moments, BARBARA speaks, allowing SELINA to continue fellating her thumb.* BARBARA (playfully trailing her sentence off): "I appreciate the energy..." *BARBARA firmly tilts her finger across Selina's chin, pulling her thumb out of the other woman's mouth, before pulling her hand away entirely. SELINA's head follows the thumb for a moment, before she pulls back and pouts expectantly at Barbara.* *BARBARA leans back both her arms, supporting herself on the ottoman as she scoots herself back a bit, spreading her legs wide in the process* BARBARA (slyly, trailing her sentence once more for dramatic effect): "But I had something..." *BARBARA brings her hands to the front of her sweatpants, attracting Selina's eyes as she hooks her thumbs into the waistband before the camera sharply cuts.* (14; Extreme close-up of Barbara's smugly-smiling lips.) BARBARA (slyly): "Bigger in mind." *SELINA loudly in surprise* (15; Wide shot of Barbara leaning back, the front of her sweatpants pulled down and around to reveal a strap-on harness underneath, with a large dark-purple dildo mounted it and sticking up almost straight into the air. Selina has shifted her position to now be sitting perpendicular to Barbara, one foot on the floor, the other curled underneath her on the ottoman. She is staring wide-eyed at the dildo.) SELINA (bewildered): "Where did THAT come from?!" BARBARA (casually, dismissively): "I lied a bit. Wasn't traffic that made me late. I made a pit-stop." (16; A profile shot of Selina staring at the dildo, bewildered.) *BARBARA brings a hand up and firmly grabs the hair at the back of SELINA's head, eliciting a soft, surprised squeal* BARBARA (firmly): "Nothing beats hot dogs after a long day." *BARBARA unceremoniously pulls Selina's head down toward her and out of frame; after a moment, the sounds of SELINA sloppily sucking can be heard.* (17; High-angle shot from behind Barbara, whose leaning far enough back as to not obstruct the view of Selina eagerly fellating the dildo, Barbara's hand still holding the back of her head. Selina is now on her hands and knees, knees tucked under her. Barbara's head is pulled back, eyes closed.) *After a few moments, BARBARA's hand lifts away from Selina's head and rests beside her. SELINA's energy is unaltered as she continues to slurp the dildo.* BARBARA (casually thinking aloud): "I've had it in my head all day how hot it'd be to hear you choke on my huge cock." *As if on cue, SELINA pushes herself all the way down the dildo's shaft and holds her head there, making a loud choke sounds as she forces herself down. BARBARA brings her head forward to look down at Selina.* BARBARA (casually): "Yeah. Just like that." (18; Profile shot, facing Selina square with Barbara to image right, as Selina is holding her head down still.) *SELINA's cheeks puff as she chokes a few more times, before she explosively pulls herself up and off the dildo and gasps her air* *SELINA stares down at the dildo, wide-eyed with mascara running down her cheeks, as she speaks* SELINA (incredulously): "Holy shit, babe! It's so fucking big!" *BARBARA grabs the back of SELINA's head again* BARBARA (dismissively): "You've had bigger." *BARBARA casually pushes SELINA back down onto the dildo, holding her head as SELINA eagerly fellates the shaft* (19; A close-up of Selina's ass, still in her tight black shorts, bobbing gently as she sloppily sucks.) *After a few moments, BARBARA'S hand goes from Selina's head to gripping SELINA's ass* BARBARA (firmly): "Now take these off." *BARBARA casually slaps SELINA's ass once before having her hand return to a supporting state on the ottoman* BARBARA (firmly): "And climb on top." (20; A close-up of Babs, her head moving as she tracks Selina implicitly moving off-screen, biting her lip silently.) (21; Wide shot of Selina, now bottomless, straddling Barbara's lap, the tip of the dildo just kissing the inside of her pussy, her hands holding onto Barbara's shoulders. Barbara's hands are still supporting at her sides, as she watches Selina's face raptly.) SELINA (in play sincerity): "I'm not sure it'll fit, babe." BARBARA (playfully): "Humor me." *SELINA grunts as she slowly pushes herself down the shaft. After a moment, there's a sharp jolt as she slides a fair distance down. SELINA gasps in surprise at the motion.* BARBARA (firmly): "Deeper." *SELINA repeats the process. Grunting, sharp jolt, gasp.* SELINA (breathily): "Fuck, Babs! How big *IS* this damn thing?!" BARBARA (firmly): "Not big enough. Deeper." (22; An over-the-shoulder shot behind Babs, focusing on Selina as she grits her teeth and squeezes her eyes shut.) *SELINA works her way through the process a third time, her eyes opening and rolling in her head as she gives out a loud, throaty moan at the end of the jolt* SELINA (in orgasmic bliss): "Ohhh, fuuuck!" (23; A profile shot of Selina sitting balls-deep on the dildo, her belly visibly bulging from the dildo's girth. Both her head and Barbara's head is off-frame.) SELINA (playfully submissive): "Do you see how you fill me up, baby?" BARBARA (firmly): "I do. Grind." *On cue, Selina begins to slowly gyrate her hips and moan her pleasure loudly and proudly.* (24; A waist-up shot as Selina gyrates, her head thrown back and eyes closed as she moans. Barbara watches Selina's face intently, mouth open in a gentle, silent moan.) SELINA (with a soft giggle in between moans): "I need you to stuff *ALL* my holes tonight, baby. One after the other." BARBARA (playfully but breathy): "Why stop at taking turns?" *BARBARA brings one hand up to hold SELINA's hip as she continues to gyrate slowly.* BARBARA (playfully, with a small giggle of her own): "I bet we could stuff you airtight and you'd still want more." *SELINA pulls her head down to look Barbara in the eye, her expression playful as she still moans her satisfaction* SELINA (playfully, breathy): "You want to call some friends over to share me with and find out?" BARBARA (coolly, amused at her own thoughts): "We live in a world of tech and toys, hun." *BARBARA brings her other hand to grip SELINA's hip with, sliding herself back and leaning forward a bit for a less precipitous position, as she effortlessly lifts Selina up and slams her down once, square. SELINA squawks at the impact.* (25; Over-the-shoulder from behind Selina, looking at Barbara looking wryly at Selina.) BARBARA (coolly): "I don't need friends to find out." (26; A low-angle shot looking up, as Barbara begins to effortly bounce Selina at a brisk, but not breakneck, pace.) SELINA (in between bounces): "I don't--know if--you even--have friends!" BARBARA (more collected as she controls her breathing): "Ouch, that's hurtful." SELINA (in between bounces): "That's not--what I--meant!" (27; A high-angle shot of the bouncing, 180 degrees opposite the previous shot across all three axes) SELINA (in between bounces): "It's just--I don't--even know--where you live!" BARBARA (controlled): "My apartment's a shithole. I don't want you to see it." SELINA (in between bounces): "I under--stand that.--But we've--been dating--for almost--six months now." (28; A level shot of the bouncing, squarely profile with the two.) SELINA (in between bounces): "It just--sometimes--feels like--I barely--even--know you!" *BARBARA abruptly stops bouncing Selina, holding her balls-deep down on the dildo, and looks critically at Selina. Her eyes are irrationally wide and gently vibrating, almost like a caged animal.* BARBARA (voice quivering gently): "Where's this coming from?" *SELINA looks away from BARBARA, pulling her head toward the camera, but looking down at the ground in shame* SELINA (collecting her breath as she speaks, guilt racking her voice): "I don't know. It's just, I don't want to feel like--" *SELINA swings her head back toward Barbara* SELINA (shamefully): "I'm sorry. I don't mean to kill the mood." BARBARA (firmly, but with a tense creak to her voice): "You're not. Talk to me." (29; A close-up of the two looking intently at each other.) SELINA (shakily, not quite ready to confront her feelings head-on, but doing it anyways): "Sometimes I feel like I'm just a cheap fuck for you, Babs." BARBARA (increduously, and slightly offended at the accusation): "What?" (30; A close-up of Babs silently listening, her face distorted in concern, eyes still gently quivering.) SELINA (continuing on, not even registering Barbara's interjection): "I don't know where you live, I don't know any of your friends, I don't know what you do for a living, I don't know where you like to go during the day, I don't know where you disappear to in the middle of the night..." (31; A close-up of Selina, her eyes visibly red now.) SELINA (with a forced chuckle, voice quivering, on the verge of tears): "I don't even know your parents' names, Babs." *SELINA gives a deep, messy inhale through her nose, as she wipes an eye with the ball of her wrist, before flashing Barbara a strained smile.* SELINA (voice quivering): "All it feels like I really know is how you like to fuck me." BARBARA (gently): "Selina, that's... That's not true." (32; A framed shot of Selina's bulging belly, as she continues to sit balls-deep on the dildo.) SELINA (weakly, with a frail buzz of humor): "She says as she's impaled twelve inches in my guts." *BARBARA quickly releases her hands from Selina's hips, as if they were suddenly burned by a hot flame* BARBARA (shamefully): "Sorry." *SELINA pulls herself off the dildo and then sits in Barbara's lap, the dildo pressing against her back* SELINA (as she pulls off): "It's okay, Babs." (33; A wide shot of the two sitting together and looking at each other, Babs' hands at her sides on the sofa, Selina's arms still wrapped around Barbara's neck despite the awkward mood.) SELINA (voice quivering): "Are you embarrassed of me?" BARBARA (incredulous and hurt, but gentle): "Of course not! Selina, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. That's..." *BARBARA looks away from SELINA* BARBARA (shamefully): "That's why I don't let you see how shitty my life is." (34; A close-up of the two, with Barbara having her head turned toward the camera as she looks down at the floor. Selina is watching her intently, arms still draped around Barbara's neck.) BARBARA (shamefully): "I'm afraid that, if you see my shitty apartment, you see my shitty job, you see the shitty neighborhoods I call home, that I'd lose you." *BARBARA turns to face Selina* BARBARA (exhausted, realizing in real-time how flimsy and weak the justification sounds): "I know you hate being in the shitty parts of Gotham." *SELINA flashes a strained smile at Barbara* SELINA (voice still weak, but trying to overcome the emotional quagmire and enjoy the humor): "I really do hate it." (35; Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Babs.) *SELINA pulls a hand away from Barbara's neck to cup Babs' cheek instead.* SELINA (voice weak but overflowing with love): "But I like being with you more." BARBARA (feeling like a grade-A asshole): "Fuck..." (36; Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Selina. Babs is facing Selina square, her cheek still cupped, but her eyes are looking down and away, brows furrowed deep in despair.) *BARBARA simply looks away, silently, for a long moment* *Finally, BARBARA brings her eyes up to look Selina square, and her face shifts into one of resolution.* BARBARA (firmly): "Let me make this up to you, Sel." (37; Profile close-up.) BARBARA (firmly): "Date night. Tuesday. My place." *SELINA leans in to gently kiss BARBARA. The fiery passion from earlier is gone, replaced with a more tender, deeper love, as they slowly, meticulously, intentionally lock lips a few lingering times.* *SELINA pulls away, and smiles warmly at Barbara.* SELINA (warmly): "I'd like that." *SELINA leans in to kiss BARBARA again. As soon as their lips touch, a hard cut to black.* --- [SCENE 3: APARTMENT EXTERIOR] (01; Wide exterior shot of a rundown apartment block, with an equally rundown street ahead of it. Both sides of the street are visible, though the sidewalk nearer the camera is only barely. A handful of cars are parked on both sides of the streets. A singular motorcycle is parked opposite the apartment block. Selina, in her bike leathers and helmet, is sitting atop her motorcycle, resting her arms on the handlebars, as she looks at the apartment building directly across from her.) *A car casually, slowly drives from image left to right, as FRANCES speaks, her voice crackling through her radio transmission.* FRANCES (casually, lips smacking as she chews gum): "Ya know, this is kinda weird, Sels." (02; Close-up of Selina staring intently through her motorcycle visor. Behind her is a shipyard that gives way immediately to the docks and beyond them, Gotham Bay.) FRANCES (casually): "What if she catches ya breakin' into her fuckin' apartment?" SELINA (firmly): "She won't." (03; Over-the-shoulder shot, of Selina looking down at her phone, which she is holding out over her motorcycle handle bars. The phone screen shows a Google Maps-esque view, focused in on the labeled Gotham City University campus, with a small blue dot labeled Babs squarely inside one of the buildings.) SELINA (firmly): "She's attending class like a good little nerd." *FRANCES gives a loud, dramatic, exasperated sigh* (04; Close-up of the front door of the apartment. The camera is swaying gently.) FRANCES (chiding): "Your first healthy relationship in years now..." *The camera abruptly pans up to focus on the tenth-story windows of the apartment block.) FRANCES (chiding): "And ya immediately decide to snoop aroun' her apartment." *The camera punches in on a specific window.* FRANCES (defeatedly): "Your therapist's gonna be so disappointed in ya." (05; Low-angle waist-up shot of Selina, still sitting on her motorcycle, holding a pair of binoculars up to her motorcycle helmet.) FRANCES (defeatedly): "You were doin' so well, too, Sels!" *SELINA brings the binoculars down, still focused intently* SELINA (distracted): "Can you blame a girl for being paranoid?" FRANCES (casually, lips still smacking): "Yeah, I can, actually." (06; Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Selina, with the fire escape going up the side of the building in center view. The depth of field is shallow, so that the entire scene is in view.) *As Frances talks, the camera focus sharpens and the camera punches in slightly, focusing squarely on the fire escape, as everything else becomes a blurry mess.* FRANCES (casually): "It stems from your abandonment issues, when your dad--" SELINA (sharply, firmly): "Fran." (07; Close-up of Selina's foot as she kicks the motorcycle kick-stand into place. She sets her foot down on the pavement, and swings her other leg around to settle beside it.) (08; Front-facing shot of Selina standing, angled, in front of her bike, hands free and by her side, head turned to look square at the apartment across from her.) FRANCES (with concern in her voice): "What if the security cams catch ya?" *SELINA reaches up to settle her motorcycle helmet on her head* (09; Close-up of Selina settling her motorcycle helmet.) SELINA (purring confidently): "I have my helmet on." *SELINA's hands come down to her sides as she steps toward the apartment and out of frame, in one fluid motion* (10; Handful of shots of the fire escape, as Selina clamors her way up them. The shots are framed such that Selina begins just out of frame, and then cut to the next shot right as she reaches waist height. This definitely isn't choreographed in this specific way so to as avoid me having to animate stair-climbing.) FRANCES (whining gently): "Ya know, you could just forget all this snoopin' an' grab me some lunch instead." SELINA (lightly exterting herself as she climbs the stairs): "Another time, Fran. I need to know who Barbara Beddoes really is." FRANCES (getting slightly desperate at talking Selina out of this): "Sel, what are ya gonna do when you find out she's just a normal chick whose crazy about ya AND knows exactly how to rail your submissive little ass till you pass out?" (11; Shot facing the upcoming fire escape stairwell, perched atop the railing. To the image left is a doorway and a curtained window. A small digital keypad with a depth-wise card insert slot at the bottom sits beside the door.) *SELINA comes up the stairs, with the camera positioned to still be waist-up when she gets to the landing, because fuck animating stair-climbing* FRANCES (continuing her plead): "Aren't ya gonna feel bad?" *SELINA approaches the keypad, reaching into her back pocket that is conveniently away from the camera so I don't have to figure out the logistics of animating pulling something out. She rummages as she speaks.* SELINA (lightly out of breath): "I guess I would, yeah." *SELINA pulls a keycard out of her back pocket, and brings it forward and brandishes it in front of her face. The keycard has a noticeable computer chip on the end of it, opposite her fingers.* SELINA (firmly): "But my gut's been telling me something's off." (12; Close-up of the keypad.) *SELINA inserts the keycard into the card reader, with the computer chip now on the bottom edge and jutting out.* *After a moment, the card reader display flashes alive, showing four asterisks, before the numbers begin to quickly cycle: 0000, 0001, 0002, ...* FRANCES (whining): "You're like an abused cat, Sel. So used to people hurting you, you can't trust being loved." SELINA (firmly): "That's not it. Love has nothing--" *The keypad loudly chirps confirmation, as the numbers stop shifting and it begins to blink on a single number: 0314.* SELINA (sharply, under her breath): "Fuck." (13; Close-up of Selina, eyes closed behind her motorcycle helmet visor, brows furrowed in frustration.) FRANCES (alert): "What is it? Did ya get caught?" *SELINA shakes her head in frustration* SELINA (frustrated): "No, no. I'm fine." *SELINA opens her eyes and looks forward* SELINA (exasperated): "It's just..." *The sound of a door opening, as SELINA moves forward out of frame* (14; Close-up, from the fire escape side, of the bottom of the door closing.) (15; Wide shot of Selina standing in Barbara's apartment, shoulders tense, as she slowly looks around through her helmet.) SELINA (exasperated): "She set her door code to my birthday." FRANCES (glibly): "Guilt's already sitting in, innit?" (16; Camera panning around from fixture to fixture in the apartment, settling unsteadily for a few seconds at each before moving onto the next.) SELINA (gently, incredulously, under her breath): "God. Canned sardines have more space." FRANCES (casually, lips smacking once again): "What building'd you say this was?" SELINA (distracted): "Sinclair. Five blocks from Grissom." (17; Low-angle shot of Selina standing in front of a worn sofa with a blanket and pillow on one end, a window looking out to the street and Bay beyond behind her.) *SELINA reaches up to pull her helmet off, shaking her head to loosen her hair before staring intently at the helmet.* SELINA (feeling miserable about her choices): "Why the hell am I here, Frances?" *SELINA plops herself heavily down onto the sofa, putting the helmet on the sofa beside her, throwing her head back and rubbing her eyes with the balls of her wrists* SELINA (feeling miserable): "I'm fucking up a perfectly good thing for no damn reason." (18; Front-facing close-up of Selina with her head thrown back and rubbing her eyes.) *SELINA pulls her head forward and hands down to her lap, and looks down at the floor in shame.* SELINA (feeling miserable): "You were right, Fran. I'm just a paranoid fuck-up." FRANCES (voice simmering with excitement): "Not so fast, Sel. Maybe youse are onto something." *SELINA's head snaps up sharply, her brows furrowing immediately* SELINA (firmly, all semblance of self-pity gone): "What do you mean?" (19; Slow-panning shot of the wall of photographs, pictures, posters, and pinups sitting behind the small TV.) FRANCES (excitedly): "Says here the Sinclair was a clothing factory that mobsters used for bootlegging in Prohibition. They only gentrified and turned it into an apartment in the early Aughties." (20; Extreme close-up of Selina's narrowed eyes, gently darting from photograph to photograph on the wall.) FRANCES (excitedly): "And get this, Sel. The floorplans I'm looking at ain't no sardine cans." (21; Extreme close-up of Selina's frowning lips.) FRANCES (excitedly, with the last word ringing out in a little sing-song tone): "They are *spaaAAAaaaAAAAcious!*" (22; Profile shot of Selina sitting upright on the couch, hands balled into fists and vibrating gently in anger on her lap.) *SELINA launches herself off the sofa and immediately begins storming toward the wall opposite her. It's fully framed, to capture the anger in Selina's gait, which means guess what, aardvark fuccboi - you gotta animate some walking. SELINA quickly walks off-frame toward image right* (23; Close-up of a framed photo of Selina and Barbara sharing a cotton-candy at an amusement park, grinning cheerfully with a ferris wheel behind them.) *SELINA's hand darts out and firmly grabs the frame, and shifts the photo up-right. As it settles square, a loud click can be heard, followed by a deep, sliding rumble.* FRANCES (excitedly): "Ooh, that sounded like somethin' fun!" (24; Selina standing in front of the wall, to the immediate image right of the television. Or at least, what was once the wall. The bulk of the wall, from just past where she stands to just shy of the fire-escape doorway she came in from, has swung inward, framed photos and all, to reveal a spacious room with unpainted walls and a rough concrete floor. The opposite wall is covered top to bottom in newspaper clippings, photographs, documents. Red string connects everything to a singular point in the middle of the wall: a print-out of a generic female headshot silhouette with a white question-mark inside it. A red marker circles the print-out emphatically, with the red strings all terminating on the edge of that circle.) SELINA (snarling loudly, barely containing her rage): "No." *SELINA's phone begins to buzz, as if on cue. She angrily reaches for her pocket, cutting as her hand reaches it* (25; Over-the-shoulder shot behind Selina as she looks down.) *SELINA pulls the phone into view, looking at it. The caller ID shows Barbara's face, with the text "incoming call." SELINA (snarling loudly): "It sounds like I was right." *SELINA angrily thumbs the Dismiss Call button. As soon as her thumb touches the button, cut to black.* --- [SCENE 4: ROOFTOP] (01; Aerial shot of the Gotham skyline at night, with the Flugelheim Museum centered in the frame.) (02; Full shot of Barbara, in her Batgirl attire, crouching on the banister of a building rooftop, one hand holding against a banister pillar, while the other holds a pair of binoculars up to her eyes. Her lips are pursed in concentration.) BRUCE (gravelly voice neutral and devoid of emotion, fuzzed by the radio communique): "Do you see anything, Batgirl?" *BARBARA pulls the binoculars down to gaze into the dark. After a moment, she squints her eyes closed as painful memories flood her mind* (03; White-flash transition to a desaturated wide shot of Barbara standing in her apartment, the hidden door swung open, her belongings strewn across the floor. The image frame has a white vignette around it. This white-flash transition, desaturated image, and white vignette is collectively referred to as "flashback to" in subsequent shots.) (04; Flashback to an over-the-shoulder shot of Barbara examining the conspiracy board in the hidden room. Of particular note is that, underneath the print-out of a white-question-marked silhouette is the label "The Cat". One of the most prominent documents linked to The Cat by red string is a print-out of Selina's face, with the text "SELINA KYLE / ART HISTORIAN / ART FORGERY EXPERT" printed underneath it. Selina's face is circled in red marker, with the text "CAT'S SECRET IDENTITY?" scrawled in marker in a corner of the piece of paper. Four deep diagonal gashes are strewn across the printout of Selina - as if scratched by a large cat.) (05; Flashback to a close-up of Barbara placing her fingers gently on the printout of Selina's face.) (06; Flashback to a reverse-shot, from the perspective of the poster, looking back at Barbara, whose expression is one of clear emotional hurt.) (07; Flashback to an over-the-shoulder shot of Barbara looking down at her phone, which has a prominent picture of Selina's face and red "CALL DECLINED" text on it.) BRUCE (gravelly voice monotone, but curious): "Batgirl?" (08; Close-up of Barbara back on the banister in her Batgirl attire, face scrunched up in recalling painful memories.) BRUCE (monotone but curious): "Are you still there?" *BARBARA's eyes shoot up as she gasps gently, head rocking back gently as if she were struck* *BARBARA swiftly and harshly slaps her own cheek, swearing brusquely at the impact* BARBARA (hoarsely, as she punishes herself for getting caught in bad thoughts): "Fuck!" (09; Low-angle shot looking up at Barbara crouching on the rooftop banister, binoculars in hand at her side.) BARBARA (firmly): "Yeah." *BARBARA lifts the binoculars up to her eyes and peers through them* BARBARA (firmly): "I'm still here." BRUCE (critically, in a strictly professional tone): "Are you still hung up on the Selina situation?" *BARBARA peers through the binoculars for a long moment in silence, before lowering them again, her expression taking on one of sadness.* BARBARA (hesitantly): "I just..." (10; Flashback to a wide-shot Barbara standing in the kitchen area of Selina's apartment, now completely devoid of every piece of furniture or personal item. Only the walls and fixed kitchen appliances remain.) BARBARA (hesitantly): "I wish I had a chance to talk to her about it." (11; Flashback to over-the-shoulder of Barbara looking at her phone. It once again has Selina's face on it, but now in bold red text 'BLOCKED BY USER') BARBARA (hesitantly): "At least try to explain--" BRUCE (critically): "Is she the Cat?" (12; Waist-up shot of Barbara on that rooftop banister looking down contemplatively.) BARBARA (voice catching in her throat): "I don't--" *BARBARA looks up, face lost in a swirl of emotion.* BARBARA (shakily): "I don't know anymore." (13; A series of flashbacks, all waist-up shots squarely matching on Selina's face. First flashback is of Barbara smooching a grinning Selina at the amusement park.) (14; Second flashback is of Selina and Barbara sitting at the coffee shop together, sipping two separate straws in the same coffee between them. The camera is framed such that it's an over-the-shoulder behind Barbara.) (15; Third flashback is of Selina and Barbara both in their underwear, sitting on Selina's couch, with Barbara snuggled up against Selina's shoulder, a bowl of popcorn between them.) (16; Fourth flashback is of Selina and Barbara naked together in Selina's bedroom, both sitting upright with Barbara sitting on Selina's lap as she kisses Selina's neck.) (17; Same waist-up shot of Barbara as in shot 12 above, her face still lost in emotion.) BARBARA (shakily): "I don't think so." *A long silence, filled only with the ambiance of Gotham street life below* BRUCE (gravelly, coolly, clinically detached): "You're compromised, kid." (18; A wide shot of the Flugelheim Museum ahead.) BRUCE (gravelly, coolly): "You have to leave personal feelings behind in this line of work." BARBARA (sneering): "Like you're one to talk, Bruce." (19; Close-up of Barbara using her binoculars again.) BARBARA (sneering): "Don't tell me you've never been cunt-drunk before." BRUCE (showing surprising emotion, as his voice is caught off-guard): "I-I wouldn't--" *BARBARA cuts BRUCE off, as she sharply leans forward, her attention caught* BARBARA (sharply): "Hold on. I see movement." BRUCE (regaining his cool composure immediately): "Is it the Cat?" (20; Full shot from behind of Barbara crouching on the banister, leaning forward with her binoculars.) *BARBARA lowers her binoculars, and speaks as she stands upright, still leaning a hand against the banister pillar as she stands up on the banister.* BARBARA (sharply): "I'm about to find out." *Abruptly, a black-gloved hand shoots up from behind Barbara, grabs her ponytail, and yanks it down in one fluid motion. As soon as Barbara begins pulling backward, cut to black* --- [SCENE 5: INTERROGATION] (01; The sound of fizzling, warbling static fades in over a black cut. The occasional word can be made out. The voice is recognizably Bruce's, but the pitch is phase-distorted with the warbling static.) BRUCE (monotone but concerned): "...girl...there?...pond...hour...pect?" (02; The screen slowly fades from black, to a profile shot of Barbara, in her batgirl attire, kneeling square on her knees, her ankles clasped with a metal bar between them, her arms held above her drooping head bound at the wrists, with a rope reaching up to the ceiling hoisting them up. The basement is dimly lit, almost pitch black, save for a bare lightbulb hanging above Barbara, bathing her in a harsh white light. A short window on the wall casts volumetric moonlight onto Barbara's body.) SELINA (smugly): "Well, well, well..." *BARBARA lifts her head to look at the owner of the voice, off-screen in front of her.* (03; Over-the-shoulder low-angle shot behind Barbara, looking up at Selina in her Catwoman attire. She is almost entirely in shadow, her silhouette only traced out by rim lighting, one hand propped on a cocked hip while the other idly holds a intricate sceptre in hand.) SELINA (pondering playfully): "Looks like I've got more batty fans than I'd like." *SELINA takes a slow, measured step toward Barbara, stepping into the light of the bulb over Barbara's head, bringing her into illuminated view. Her lips spread wide in a smug grin.* SELINA (taunting playfully): "You didn't actually think you could stop me, did you, Bats?" BARBARA (still groggy from being knocked unconscious): "No..." (04; Waist-up front-facing shot of Barbara looking up at Selina.) BARBARA (groggy): "I was just hoping for a chance to see you." SELINA (hissing in condemnation): "A chance to see me?" *SELINA swiftly brings a foot on high, pressing the heel of her boot into one of Barbara's shoulders, pushing her back slightly as her constraints allow it.* SELINA (fuming): "I don't think you understand the situation, Bats." (05; Wide profile shot of Selina sneering down at Barbara, her heel dug into Barbara's shoulder. Barbara is looking up squarely at Selina, unblinking.) SELINA (fuming): "This isn't a fucking meet-and-greet." BARBARA (voice quivering gently as the reality of everything sets in): "I know. I just..." *BARBARA slams her eyes shut and looks down and away, turning toward the camera* BARBARA (voice on the verge of tears): "I've been so... OBSESSED... with catching you." *BARBARA opens her eyes and looks back up at Selina* BARBARA (voice all but breaking): "I ruined a good thing because of you. The best to ever happen to me." *SELINA gives a chesty, disinterest harrumph, before lowering her extended foot.* SELINA (sharply, selling an air of disinterest): "Not my problem, chief." (06; Close-up profile shot of Barbara looking up at Selina off-screen.) *BARBARA's eyes follow as SELINA bends forward to look at Barbara square in the eyes, faces so close their noses almost touch, Selina's smug grin dominating her face.* SELINA (smugly, sharply playfully, a cruel taunt): "Sounds like SOMEONE needs therapy." *BARBARA leans her head forward slightly, eyes squinting in concentration.* (07; Extreme close-up of Selina's narrowed eyes, the camera gently swaying. The angle is held for a long moment in silence.) (08; Extreme close-up of Barbara's squinting eyes, pupils gently shifting as she studies every inch of Selina's masked face.) *After a moment, Selina speaks* SELINA (playfully): "What's the matter, Bats?" (09; Extreme close-up of Selina's smug grin.) SELINA (playfully): "Cat's got your tongue?" (10; Same extreme close-up as 08 above, with Barbara's squinting eyes.) *BARBARA's eyes widen in sudden realization* BARBARA (gasping gently, less to be heard and more as a verbalized realization to herself): "Selina?" SELINA (ruefully): "Don't act so surprised." (11; Low-angle profile shot looking up at Selina leaning over to look at Barbara at eye-level. Her grin is gone, replaced now with a dark scowl.) SELINA (ruefully): "This is what you wanted, isn't it?" *SELINA stands up, pointedly looking away from Barbara and toward the camera. BARBARA's eyes follow her as she stands up.* SELINA (ruefully): "For me to be the Cat?" BARBARA (taken aback by the accusation): "What?" *BARBARA leans forward sharply, straining against her constraints* BARBARA (desperate to be understood): "Sel, no!" (12; Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Barbara, looking up at the pouting Selina.) BARBARA (desperate to be understood): "Please, just, let me explain!" SELINA (sharply, venomously): "Explain what?" *SELINA whips her head sharply to stare daggers into Barbara, face contorted in rage and betrayal.* SELINA (seething): "That you hid your identity from me? That you work for that fucking maniac Batman? That you--" *SELINA bites her tongue, eyes slamming shut in pain and frustration. After a moment, her expression softens from one of anger to one of betrayal, as she turns to look away from Babs.* SELINA (voice softer, quivering gently in raw betrayal): "That you only got close to me so you can catch me in the act?" BARBARA (desperate to be understood): "Sel, that's not true! I love y--" (13; Close-up as Selina whips her head toward Barbara, face contorting once more in rage.) SELINA (screeching): "DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME!" (14; Extreme close-up of Selina's eyes, furrowed in rage beneath the mask.) *SELINA's eyes soften in hurt* SELINA (softly, tenderly): "You've already done that enough." BARBARA (gently): "Sel, I..." (15; Over-the-shoulder from behind Selina, looking down at Barbara. Barbara is looking up at Selina, her expression soft in her own hurt.) *BARBARA looks down at the ground in shame* BARBARA (ashamedly): "It's true. At first, anyways. But then..." *BARBARA looks up at Selina* BARBARA (in emotional pain): "Then I got to know you. And... And... I wanted to tell you." *SELINA looks away from Barbara again* SELINA (muttering): "Bullshit." BARBARA (in emotional pain): "It's true, Sel." (16; Close-up of Barbara looking up at Selina) BARBARA (voice quivering gently): "The closer we got, the more I realized that, this all means nothing to me. Working with Batman, fighting crime, being a hero." (17; Close-up of Selina, whose still turned away from Barbara, eyes closed and lips pursed in an attempt to keep her emotions contained. Barbara is visible in the scene as she continues on, looking straight Selina.) BARBARA (voice quivering gently): "I don't care about any of it. None of it matters to me anymore." (18; Over-the-should from behind Barbara, looking at Selina, whose still turned away from Barbara.) BARBARA (voice quivering gently): "The only thing I care about is you, Sel. About being with you." *SELINA audibly sniffs, still turned away from Barbara.* *SELINA lifts her head up, but does not turn to face Barbara.* SELINA (voice straining as she tries to remain her cool): "And why should I believe you, Babs?" *SELINA turns her head to face Barbara.* SELINA (voice straining): "Why should I believe a word you say, after what you did?" (19; Wide profile shot of the two facing each other.) *A long, awkward silence* BARBARA (voice quivering gently): "Because my life's been meaningless without you." SELINA (voice straining): "I'm gonna need more than that, Babs." *Another long, awkward silence* BARBARA (more confidently than she has been in a long time; this is something she is confident on): "I'll be your accomplice." (20; Top-down shot framing the two on opposing ends of the image.) BARBARA (confidently): "So long as no one gets hurt, I'll be by your side. I'll help you steal things. I'll mislead Gotham PD. I'll throw Batman off the trail. I'll do anything for you." *A short pause* SELINA (suspiciously): "Anything?" (21; Square front-facing close-up of Barbara, her expression resolute.) BARBARA (firmly): "Anything." --- [SCENE 6: PROOF OF INTENT] (01; Match cut of Barbara wearing a blindfold and wiffleball-gag, blushing as she squeals in orgasmic pleasure.) (02; Profile wide shot of Barbara tied down to a Sybian, her arms still tied above her. Her Batgirl suit has been opened up to expose her body. Selina is leaning her back against a support pillar in the basement, head turned as she watches Barbara with a wry smile. In one hand, she is holding a small wireless remote up, ready to be lazily accessed at her leisure. Her other hand rests on her cocked hip.) *After a few moments of Barbara squealing through her ball-gag, SELINA speaks* SELINA (playfully): "Are you getting close again, Little Bat?" *BARBARA nods her head enthusiastically, attempting to verbalize, unsuccessfully, through her gag* BARBARA (unsuccessfully enunciating through her gag): "Yes! Yes! Oh god, I'm about to cum so hard!" (03; Close-up of Selina's hand holding the remote.) *SELINA gently uses her thumb to flick the switch over to the "OFF" position.* SELINA (teasingly): "Can't have that, now can we?" (04; Focused shot of Barbara resting on the Sybian, head hanging low as she breathes raggedly through the wiffleball, catching her breath.) *After a few moments of catching her breath, BARBARA attempts to speak, her head still hanging low* BARBARA (attempting through the gag): "Please let me cum, Sel..." SELINA (teasingly): "What was that, Little Bat?" *SELINA leans into the shot, smiling smugly at Barbara. She reaches around and grabs Barbara's ponytail, and gives it a hard yank to bring Barbara's blindfolded face up to eye-level with her.* *BARBARA gasps with the hair-pull* SELINA (teasingly): "I didn't quite catch it." (05; Over-the-shoulder shot behind Barbara, with Selina leaning forward, her cleavage square in the camera's view. She is holding the remote up still, the other hand on her thigh for support. Her grin is delightfully wicked.) BARBARA (attempting through the gag): "Please let me cum..." SELINA (mockingly): "What's the matter, Little Bat?" *SELINA flicks the switch back on. BARBARA gasps at the sensation and begins moaning again* SELINA (mockingly): "Cat's got your tongue?" (06; Profile close-up as Selina grinning devilishly as Barbara squeals her pleasure) *Selina gently wraps a hand around Barbara's neck, and leans in to slowly run her tongue bottom-to-top across Barbara's wiffleball-gag, before pulling away to look at Babs wickedly* SELINA (playfully): "Do you remember what you'd always say to me, Babs?" *SELINA flicks the tip of her tongue against the tip of Barbara's nose* SELINA (playfully): "As you had ME tied up and gagged, clit at your tongue's mercy?" *SELINA lifts up the remote and emphatically clicks the remote to a higher setting. BARBARA squeals at the intensity jump, her body wracking and writhing. SELINA holds her neck firmly.* *SELINA's grin drops, her face becoming cold and serious* SELINA (darkly): "As you had ME begging to be allowed to cum?" (07; Low-angle shot from behind Barbara, looking up at Selina towering over Barbara.) SELINA (darkly): "Vibrator knuckle-deep in my ass, clamps pulling at my nipples?" (08; Extreme close-up of Selina's narrowed eyes, brows furrowed.) SELINA (darkly): "Do you remember what you'd say to me?" BARBARA (practically crying with pleasure, all but entirely incomprehensible through the gag): " 'I don't speak bottom!' " (09; Extreme close-up of Barbara's gagged mouth.) *SELINA's hands expertly grab the wiffle-ball and pull it out of Bab's mouth and rests it against her chin.* *BARBARA gives a deep, shuddering gasp as her mouth is freed.* SELINA (darkly): "Again." BARBARA (practically crying with pleasure, now clearly understandable): " 'I don't speak bottom!' " (10; Profile shot of Selina still leaning over, scowling at Barbara as she loudly squeal-cries her pleasure.) SELINA (darkly): "That's right. Barbara doesn't speak bottom." *SELINA brings the remote up and quickly clicks it off.* *BARBARA heaves a shuddering sigh and begins rapidly breathing, catching her breath and trying to slow her racing heart* *SELINA stands upright and looks down at Barbara, still scowling* SELINA (snobbishly): "Well, you're learning pretty fucking fast, Babs." (11; Low-angle close-up of Selina's scowling face looking down at Babs.) *BARBARA still catching her breath* *After a moment, SELINA's scowl breaks into a bright grin, and she just begins to cackle delightfully as she throws her head back* SELINA (exuberantly, absolutely having the time of her life): "Oh, I see why you like being in control, babe!" *SELINA brings her head back down to look at Barbara, her wicked smug grin returning* SELINA (slyly): "This is so much fun!" BARBARA (gasping, still catching her breath): "I'm glad you're having fun." (12; High-angle profile shot of Barbara looking up blindly at Selina.) BARBARA (mostly recuperated, rather dryly): "May I please cum now, Sel?" *SELINA chuckles as she brings the remote up in anticipation* SELINA (sharply, with a wide grin): "No." *SELINA flips the switch on the remote. BARBARA gasps a sharp curse as she begins squealing again.* (13; Close-up of Selina looking down at Barbara.) *SELINA lifts her head up and begins looking around over her shoulder.* SELINA (casually, pondering aloud): "I wonder what ELSE I have buried down here..." (14; Top-down shot of Barbara and Selina.) (15; Cross-fade into a matching frame of Barbara now standing upright, legs wide with a separator bar at her ankles, bent over with her hands still tied high, as a sex-machine pistons a dildo into her at a brisk pace. The ball-gag is now hanging loosely around her neck, though the blindfold is still on. Selina is lounging back on a ratty second-hand armchair, one hand holding the remote high as the other cradles her chin, one finger pressing against her nose and another brushing against her lips. A small cardboard box is the right of Selina's chair, closed.) (16; Focused shot of Selina watching as Barbara gets pistoned by the machine, Barbara moaning her pleasure.) SELINA (casually amused): "You're a natural at taking dick up your ass, babe." *SELINA leans forwardly, wry grin spreading across her face.* SELINA (playfully): "How often do you let Bats rail it?" BARBARA (lightly out of breath from her exertion, but otherwise smart and sassy): "Fuck you." (17; Close-up of the remote in Selina's hand.) SELINA (playfully): "Good idea." *SELINA clicks the remote up, as the machine can be heard picking up its pace, BARBARA's moans intensifying in step.* (18; Shot from behind Barbara, level with her hips, framing both the penetration and Selina leaning forward playfully.) SELINA (teasingly): "So is that a 'he rails me all the time' Fuck-you, or a 'he never rails me' Fuck-you?" BARBARA (lightly out of breath): "Batman isn't... He isn't like that." *SELINA cocks her head to one side* SELINA (amused): "So a 'he never rails me' Fuck-you." (19; Close-up of Barbara, head lightly bobbing as she moans from the machine pistoning into her.) SELINA (feigning disappointment): "Such a shame. The man may be a lunatic, but god damn if he isn't built like a tank." (20; Waist-up shot of Selina casually grinning as her hands jostle around her groin, just off-screen.) *Sounds of velcro attaching* SELINA (playfully): "I'd love to spitroast you with him, babe. Ah well." (21; Wide shot of Barbara Selina proudly brandishing her large strap-on, hands on her hips as she looks down menacingly at Barbara, whose still getting pistoned.) SELINA (devilishly): "I guess I'll have to settle with the machine." BARBARA (lightly out of breath): "Settle with..? Wha..?" (22; Profile close-up of Barbara.) BARBARA (lightly out of breath): "What do you mean?" *SELINA giggles, as she steps into frame, her large strap-on dildo less than inch from brushing against Barbara's lips as her head gently bobs. Selina is holding it firmly with one hand.* SELINA (firmly): "Open." *BARBARA obediently opens her mouth, tongue lightly sticking out.* *SELINA tsks her tongue playfully.* (23; Low-angle shot beneath Barbara, camera looking up at Selina, whose looking down in turn at the still-blindfolded Barbara, with the dildo square in the frame.) SELINA (playfully): "You'll have to open wider than that, dear." *BARBARA stretches her mouth wider.* *SELINA rolls her eyes and scoffs.* SELINA (unimpressed): "That'll do." *SELINA briskly grabs BARBARA's hair, and slams the dildo deep into her mouth.* *BARBARA lets out a surprised squawk as the dildo is pushed into her mouth.* *SELINA begins thrusting into BARBARA's mouth, keeping pace with the machine.* (24; Wide shot of Selina and the machine spit-roasting Barbara.) SELINA (smugly, lightly out of breath from the exertion): "You like the size, Little Bat? It's even bigger than the one in your ass." (25; Top-down shot of the spitroast.) SELINA (lightly out of breath): "I knew it wouldn't be a problem for *YOUR* big mouth." (26; Framed shot from behind Barbara, framing the machine penetrating her.) SELINA (a bit bitterly, as she calls back to their last night together): "I've had it in my head all day how hot it'd be to hear you choke on my huge cock." *SELINA pauses her thrusting to take a step forward, bringing her other hand around to wrap them both around Barbara's head, before slamming the dildo hips-deep into BARBARA's throat.* *SELINA holds herself tightly against BARBARA's head, letting her hips get pushed back and forth gently as the machine racks Barbara's body.* *BARBARA begins choking, as SELINA holds her head firmly. After a few chokes, SELINA grins as she speaks.* SELINA (smugly): "Yeah. Just like that." (27; Close-up of Selina hips-deep in Barbara's mouth.) *After a few more chokes, SELINA lets go of BARBARA's head and smoothly pulls all the way out of BARBARA's throat, letting the dildo bounce a bit before hanging loose, just shy of brushing her lips.* *As BARBARA coughs and clears her throat, SELINA's hand with the remote comes down by her side and into view. After a few moments, she clicks the machine off.* SELINA (fondly): "All right, Little Bat. I'm convinced." (28; Extreme close-up of Barbara's mouth, as she catches her breath.) SELINA (fondly): "We should get out of here before--" BARBARA (firmly, her voice hoarse from getting her throat fucked): "Don't stop." (29; Close-up of Selina looking down at Barbara, a surprised expression on her face.) BARBARA (firmly, voice not nearly so hoarse): "Don't stop fucking me." *SELINA's expression turns to one of mischief, as the sound of the remote clicking and the machine spinning up can be heard again. BARBARA's moaning returns as well.* (30; Focused shot of the light-beam coming from the basement window, light-blue moonlight filtering through.) --- [SCENE 7: THE COPYCATS, PART A] (01; Matched cross-fade of the window, now with warm yellow light filtering through, and the basement ambiance much brighter and warmer in turn.) SELINA (exhausted): "Fuck!" *Sound of SELINA plopping herself hard onto the armchair.* (02; Wide shot of Selina slumped in the chair, head in hand, the other hand holding the remote idling in her lap. Barbara is still bound, though no longer blindfolded, her mascara running down her face, her hair untied and loose around her face, the area around her mouth smeared with Selina's lipstick from countless sweaty kisses. The machine is going at a slower pace. Both Selina and Barbara are drenched in sweat.) *BARBARA barely making the effort to moan with the piston. After a few moments, SELINA lifts a heavy hand with the remote up, and clicks the machine off. The hand flops back into her lap like a dead fish.* SELINA (exhausted): "We haven't fucked like THAT since... Since..." BARBARA (exhausted): "Our first night together." (03; Waist-up shot of Selina, exhaustion writ large across her sweaty face.) *SELINA gives a weak chuckle, her face accordingly breaking into a weak grin.* SELINA (exhausted, but enjoying the memory of that long-ago night): "That was the night I learned I'm apparently a bottom." BARBARA (exhausted, but enjoying the memory of the just-finished night): "You just did a pretty good job as a top." *SELINA gives a single chuckle, her weak grin growing stronger and splitting her face.* SELINA (amused): "Think so?" *SELINA turns to face Barbara* SELINA (amused): "I was just pretending to be you." (04; Waist-up [waist-forward? Since Barbara is still bent over?] shot of Barbara, grinning weakly up at Selina off-screen.) BARBARA (amused): "I didn't think you had it in you." SELINA (amused): "Neither did I. I think it's the suit." *BARBARA rocks her body back and forth lightly.* BARBARA (awkwardly): "Untie me? My shoulders are killing me." (05; Camera laying on the floor, showing only up to the ankles of both Selina's and Barbara's feet.) SELINA (warmly): "Sure." *SELINA stands up and then walks over to Babs. Why do I make myself animate walking?* (06; Over-the-shoulder shot behind Selina, looking up as she works the ropes. The rope binding around Barbara's wrists is just out of view.) BARBARA (awkwardly, not wanting to broach the subject): "Sel... I need to tell you something." SELINA (flippantly): "What? You really DID let Bats rail you?" BARBARA (awkwardly, without a drop of humor in her voice): "Not quite." *SELINA takes a step back, letting her hands fall to her sides. BARBARA's arms come down as well, and after a moment, she stands up to look Selina square in the eye.* BARBARA (formally): "You have a copy-cat." SELINA (confused): "What?" (07; Wide shot of the various covered crates in the basement, now clearly visible with the warm ambiance of daylight illuminating what was previously a dark and ambiguous scene.) BARBARA (formally): "They've been stealing Ming vases, Mucha paintings... Things you don't normally pinch." SELINA (defensively): "How do you know it's not me?" (09; Profile shot of Barbara and Selina looking at each other.) BARBARA (formally, without blinking or breaking eye contact): "She has bigger tits than you." *SELINA makes a noise in her throat as she rolls her eyes and turns away from Barbara and toward the camera.* SELINA (in disbelief): "Of COURSE the first thing you clock is how big her tits are." BARBARA (slightly offended at Selina's accusation): "I'm serious, Sel." *BARBARA brings her hands up in front of her bare chest, gesturing a bust size that is, indeed, appreciably larger than Selina's. SELINA turns to look at her as she gestures.* BARBARA (slightly amused at the absurdity): "They're like... bigger than her head. Just, absurdly huge." (10; Over-the-shoulder shot behind Selina, looking at Barbara.) *BARBARA brings her hands down.* SELINA (still unimpressed): "All right. When did you first clock this big-titty copy-cat?" BARBARA (formally): "Around the same time you stole the Dresden Green." (11; Close-up of Selina's face unimpressed face.) *SELINA's face bunches up in confusion.* SELINA (confused): "Dresden..? I didn't steal that, either." BARBARA (formally): "Then I guess we should start with that." --- [SCENE 8: THE COPYCATS, PART B] (01; Profile wide shot of Barbara and Selina in Selina's new Gothic apartment, in the living room area. Barbara is wearing nothing but an oversized shirt and socks. She is laying length-wise on the couch, feet dangling over one arm, hands resting on her belly as she gazes absent-mindedly up at the chandelier hanging overhead. On the windowsill behind her, a black cat is sitting and staring intently at her. Selina sits next to her head, crowding the corner of the couch and leaning against the near arm, legs pulled up onto the cushion beneath her. She is wearing her same shorts from the last apartment scene, now wearing Babs' college hoodie. Her attention is fixated on the tablet she is operating with both hands, tapping occasionally as she cranes her head to read unseen text. The apartment is quiet sans for the subtle sound of the flames happily burning away in the fireplace, and the rhythmic ticking of the pendulum clock beside it.) (02; Low-angle shot of Barbara looking up at the swooping ceiling arches overhead.) BARBARA (casually): "Swank new place. How'd you manage to snag it?" SELINA (distractedly): "I pulled a few strings, called in some favors." (03; High-angle shot looking down at Barbara, who is in turn looking up at the camera.) *BARBARA shifts to look at SELINA, the position awkward due to her laying down.* BARBARA (casually): "Favors, huh?" *An orange cat casually strides into frame and jumps up onto BARBARA's belly, before nonchalantly leaping up onto the windowsill to join the black cat, who is still watching Barbara intently.* *BARBARA grunts gently as the cat unannouncedly jumps onto her.* BARBARA (slightly amused): "Was one of them cat-sitting?" SELINA (distracted): "Sorry." (04; Close-up of Barbara, contorted awkwardly to look at Selina while still laying down.) *SELINA distractedly reaches a hand and begins stroking BARBARA's hair like it were a cat. BARBARA flinches gently, more in surprise than anything, but settles into the odd position quickly.* SELINA (distracted): "I started adopting strays after you left." BARBARA (playfully): "Yeah?" *BARBARA quickly snatches SELINA's hand mid-pet, pulling it down gently before she starts peppering Selina's palm with kisses.* (05; Over-the-shoulder high-angle shot behind Selina, whose now looking down at Barbara, surprise on her face.) *BARBARA pulls SELINA's captured hand to one side, grinning mischeviously up at her.* BARBARA (playfully): "Can I adopt *YOU* as a stray?" *SELINA's expression slides into a coy, playful one.* SELINA (purring): "That depends." (06; Close-up of Selina looking down at Barbara.) SELINA (purring): "Do I get to wear a leash?" *BARBARA sits up into frame, giving Selina a slightly puzzled look.* BARBARA (lightly puzzled): "I thought cats didn't like leashes." *SELINA leans in close to BARBARA, eyelids heavy with seductive interest.* SELINA (purring): "This one does." *BARBARA leans in to plant a firm kiss on SELINA's flips, before pulling away to lean her forehead against Selina's.* BARBARA (breathily): "Such a bad kitty." SELINA (breathily): "Punish me, Mistress." (07; Full shot of Barbara leaning over Selina, whose legs are now spread as Barbara is rubbing the heel of her hand harshly against Selina's groin through her shorts.) SELINA (breathily): "Punish your kitty's kitty." BARBARA (breathily, getting excited): "Meow for me." *Before SELINA can respond, the tablet she's holding loosely in one hand lights up and pings loudly. The sound surprises BARBARA, who pulls her hand away from SELINA's groin in a slight start.* *SELINA closes her eyes and throws her head back as she sucks her teeth in annoyance* (08; Close-up of Selina, head thrown back and eyes closed.) SELINA (deeply disappointed): "And there goes the mood." *SELINA brings her head forward to look at the tablet. After a moment, she suddenly becomes alert and resettles herself.* SELINA (attention raptly captured): "Hold on." BARBARA (curious): "What is it?" (09; Front-facing shot of Selina sitting upright, lording over the tablet. Barbara is lounging behind her, hands wrapped around her waist, chin resting on Selina's shoulder as she looks at the tablet.) SELINA (attention raptly captured): "You were right about the copycat. Or, copycats, as it were." BARBARA (curious): "How do you know there's more than one?" SELINA (attention raptly captured): "They're a couple. I fucked them both after you dumped me." *SELINA's expression sours* SELINA (disgusted as the revelation hits her): "And then they robbed my clients right from under my nose." (10; Close-up of Barbara looking over Barbara's shoulder at the tablet.) *BARBARA lifts her head to look at SELINA quizzically* BARBARA (confused): "Your clients?" *SELINA focuses her attention on the tablet as she speaks* SELINA (focused on navigating the tablet): "The owners needed an art historian to authenticate them. The Ming vases, the Mucha paintings, and the Dresden Green." *BARBARA snuggles her cheek up against SELINA's shoulder again.* BARBARA (coolly putting the pieces together in her head): "So you appraised the pieces, then told your... rebound couple... about them." *SELINA's expression sours again* SELINA (disgusted at the thought): "And then those fuckers stole the pieces." (11; Close-up of the coffee table in front of the couch.) *After a moment, the tablet clatters onto the coffee table, being roughly tossed.* SELINA (disgusted): "I should never have trusted those sociopaths." BARBARA (genuinely, without accusation or judgment): "So why did you?" (12; Front-facing shot of Selina leaning back against the couch, head thrown back as she rubs her eyes with the heels of her hands. Barbara is kneeling beside her, one hand gently stroking Selina's thigh.) *SELINA sighs deeply, before dropping her hands to her side and looking off to her side, away from Barbara.* SELINA (defeated): "I was angry. Horny. Lonely. They came to me with promises of tentacles and gangbangs." *SELINA turns to face BARBARA. A small smile creeps onto her face.* SELINA (ruefully): "You know how easily I swoon for gangbangs." BARBARA (wistfully): "The tentacles are new to me." *SELINA gives a small, sad chuckle* SELINA (ruefully): "They were for me, too." (13; Profile shot of the two, just looking into each others' eyes, with small, pained smiles on both their faces.) BARBARA (wistfully): "Sounds like fun." SELINA (ruefully): "I've never been so stuffed." *SELINA's smile fades as a dark cloud rolls over her face, as she turns away from Barbara and away from the camera.* SELINA (bitterly): "Or so used." (14; Focused close-up of Selina's face, with Barbara framed behind her. The camera DOF is focused on Barbara, with Selina only lightly out of focus, as she glowers and glares straight ahead.) *After a slightly-too-long silence* BARBARA (quietly): "What now?" *The camera slowly shifts its focus on SELINA, depth of field intensifying to massively blur Barbara out.* SELINA (contemptuously): "We find the fuckers."
