New York, Saturday evening. It’s the opening night of a new exhibit at Bette’s gallery, and Bette is making her way through the crowd after delivering a speech introducing the works. As she moves through the room she is congratulated by various associates, and drawn into conversation by several upcoming artists keen to draw her attention. She makes her way through the crowd and spots Alice, Shane and Dana standing off to one side. Alice hands her a wine as she approaches.

(Alice) Nice work Porter, I’m impressed

Bette smiles as she settles alongside her.

(Bette) Thanks Al

(Shane smiles) Great job, as always

(Dana smiles) Yeah, you’re a pro

Bette smiles at them and has a sip of wine. Alice raises her eyebrows as she glances around the room.

(Alice) I don’t even understand half the shit you say up there

Bette looks to her and they smile at each other.

(Alice) Some of it’s just bullshit right?

Bette laughs and shakes her head.

(Bette) Some Al, yeah

Shane nods towards the crowd, now moving through the exhibit.

(Shane) Well you’re obviously not just impressing us

She smiles at Bette, who raises her eyebrows as she has a sip of wine.

Bette’s gallery, Friday afternoon. Bette and James are walking the floor of the gallery and discussing the details of an upcoming show.

(Bette) We’ll plan to open on the 20th

James nods as he follows Bette between rooms.

(Bette) There will be the twenty-eight new works across the five artists, plus the four existing pieces

(James) You’ve secured the paintings from the private collector?

(Bette nods) Yes, they’ll be a good addition. They complement the themes in the new works, and the collector is excited to show them

James nods as he makes a note on his clipboard.

(Bette) They’re currently being shown at a gallery in Boston, and the exhibit is due to close there a few days prior to our opening

(James) I’ll get the paperwork to them, and confirm dates for the transfer

(Bette nods) Thank you James
